CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The proud col
ors of the Boston Athletic association
went down in the mud today before the
cherry and black Of the Chicago Ath-
letic association club, the WeSternerS
winning by a score Of II to 6. The
team that had beaten Harvard and
dimmed every color but the blue of
Yale was defeated by an aggregation
of Western players which was scarcely
a week old. Six of the men in the vic
tOrious eleven were playing in the
places of expelled members, but the
team work Of the men of the cherry
circle was as sure and fatal as that
of a veteran team.
1t rained, and the wind blew; the
cold wind caught up the saWdust that
lay on the Water-sOaked field and
whirled it about and into the eyes of
the throng about the side lines. Along
the side of the field boxes had been
built and in them huddled a scattering
crowd of enthusiasts crouching under
dripping umbrellas.
At II 10 Thompson, the Chicago cap
tain, won the toss and took the south
goal with a strong wind at his back
Russell kicked off for Boston, and the
great game was on. Slater caught the
pigskin and made a fine run of twenty
yards. Chorimard failed to gain
through the line and Slater punted to
Bostons thirty-yard line. Curtis caught
the ball and was knocked senseless by
the rush of the Chicago forwards. Bos-
ton now rushed Billiard and Fennessy
through the opposing line, amid ire
mendous applause, but the brilliant
work was cut short by tumble. Paul
mann getting the ball for Chicago.
The Chicago team now went into the
line with terrible force, Chorimard and
Slater gaining ten and twelve yards at
time. Boston rallied and dug her
toes into the spongy field, but could
only stop the advance for moment
In spite Of desperate defense Slater was
pushed across for a touchdown, and the
grand stand went wild with excitement
Graham was found under the pile of
players with his leg badly lacerated,
and he was carried off on a stretcher.
Draper failed to kick the goal, and the
score was to 0.
Russell kicked off again to Chorim-
ard, who made a brilliant run back to
| the center of the field. Boston braced
up and got the ball on downs. Billiard
the game, dashing around left end for
forty yards, but Vic Harding, the ex-
Harvard referee, had called time, and
the gain was useless. Burns, who was
playing quarterback in place of the
injured Graham, now fumbled the ball
and Chicago promptly fell on it. Drap-
er punted over the goal line, and Bos-
ton returned the ball from the fifteen
yard line. Draper, Chicago's bright
! Of he
the field, and, eluding all of his pur-
| suers, running almost alone. he trav-
ersed the entire Boston territory for a
! second touchdown. Defeat was STAR
ing them in the face; they had met a
second Yale. Draper again failed to
| kick goal, and the score was s to 0.
Russell again sent the ball through
the air to Chorimard, who shifted the
burden to Draper. Draper, seeing that
his advance was blocked, punted to
center, where Chorimard secured the
ball and the cherry circle was bowling
| irreSiStibly toward the Hubs goal
| when an off-side play gave the ball to
Boston. Billiard was given the ball
| for brilliant run of twenty-five yards
around the right end but the ball i'm
mediately changed hands on an off
side play. Chorimard, Capt Thomp-
sons latest recruit, then made fifteen
| yards through the Boston tackle, and
was followed by Draper for five more
Another touchdown was hanging over
| the Bean Eaters and they
RALLIED GRANDLY
in the last ditch. End and line plays
| alike were smothered in their infancy
and the ball was wrested from Chi
| cagO.
Boston now went at the cherries
Billiard and Fennessy tearing through
the line for splendid gains. The tide
had turned and everything went Bos-
toms way. The Chicago line seemed
powerless to stop them Remington,
| Chicago's giant guard, here made three
wonderful plays. breaking up the inter-
| ference and downing the runner three
times in succession with no gain The
victorious tide had been stopped, and
the Westerners again had the ball.
