A TIE GAME FOR ATHLETES.

Teams Finish With the Score
Four to Four.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S. = Michigan
beat Chicago at Marshall Field this
morning in a game that proved one
sided as far as Michigan was con-
cerned by the score of II to 0. BY
it's signal victory the unconquerable
Michigan team is entitled to wear
the Western football crown. The
crushing defeat administered to
Minnesota by the Wolverines at De-
troit last Saturday made today's re-
suit almost certain. Prof. AlonZo
Stagg declared before the game that
the husky men from Ann Arbor were
football wonders. And he hit the
nail squarely on the head. The ma
room of Chicago bowed in silent ac-
acknowledgement of the magnetic in
f1uence of the yellow and blue of
Old Michigan. In the betting Michi-
gan was always the favorite. The
Michigan team was invincible in its
rush line, and Chicago, to use
slang expression, was never in it.
The Michigan team averaged TIA
pounds, while Chicago averaged
seven pounds less. Michigan's
strength lay in its heavy backs and
it's guards. Its offensive and de-
fensive work was also better. Chi
cago rallied spasmodically, but the
gait was altogether too swift. When
Chicago had the ball it could not
gain. The Wolverines went through

eleven. 1t was the second Thanks
giving game played on Marshall
Field by the opposing elevens. Last
year Chicago all but won, the burly
Wolverines winning by the score of

position of the strong Chicago Ath-
letic association game with Boston,
which started at the same hour, at

and college enthusiasm won the day.
HEAVYWEIGHT HOOPER.
From Michigan standpoint, the
game was not tremendously eXcit-
ing. Hooper, the strapping left
guard, with hair as red as a Sep
tember sunset. proved a veritable
tower of strength. He made pigmies
of the Chicago contingent, and was
a Gulliver among Liliputians. Hen
ninger, the Michigans right-tacke,
performed yeoman service, and
kept the other fellows guessing. Carr
played a most plucky game at CEN
ter. In one of the scrimmages in
the first half his broken ribs were
loosened, but he nerveIy refused to
retire, and finished the game. Ewing
had his left shoulder broken early in
the game. He kept on playing un-
til he fell senseless and Clark was
substituted. This was the only in
jury that marked the game. Sew
eral times players on both sides
were winded, but no serious results
happened. The sensational feature
of the game was Bloomington's re-
| markable playing. His run of forty
five yards around the end on the
| slippery field was the event of the
day. The Chicagos early realized
| that they could not win, and direct
| ed all their efforts to preventing the
Michigans from scoring. Three
| times, with the ball on the inside
| of their five-yard line, they stalled
off a score by remarkable spurts.
| The score was reasonably small, and
represented two touchdowns by
Michigan, from which two goals were
| kicked. That it was not larger was
| due to the energentic efforts of
| Stages plucky but outclassed play
| ers. Michigan scored one touch
| down, partly the result of a fluke,
in the first half and one in the second
after nearly twenty-four minutes of
| sensational playing.
LIKE A STONE WALL.
The first half was not sensational.
| Once, with the oval on Michigan's
fifteen-yard line, it seemed as if
nothing could prevent the enemy
from scoring, but series of brilliant
plays diverted the ball into Chicago's
territory, where it was kept the bal
ance of the half. The second half
was spectacular. The ball was in
the air most of the time. The Chi
Cages, finding that it was like ham

clear. The day dawned bright and
beautiful The sun shone warm and
brightly. Early in the morning a gang
! of men shoveled the snow from the side
lines and later several loads of saw
dust were sprinkled deep over the
northern end of the field. The lines
were marked out with damp black
The game was as clear as any football
game can we'll be. There was only
one instance Of slugging, and that was
in the second half, when ALLEN pasted
Bloomington in the jaw. The referee
did not see the pugilistic act, but the
crowd hooted Allen vigorously for his
| uncalled for assault.
The crowd began to assemble as
early as 10 o'clock. Every seat in the
grand stand had been sold the day be-
fore. Sections A and c, of the grand
stand were reserved for the Michigan
alumni. Section B was occupied by
the college faculty. Manysof Chicago s
most prominent citizens saw the down

in both the east and west grand stands
was at a premium. The west bleacher
