Chicago, Nov 1S.-Beef not brains
beat Wisconsin. Stages aggregation
or alleged amateurs was simply too
strong for the badgers. 1t was almost
impossible stop the maroon's heavy
mass plays, but at several critical
points OF the game the badgers rallied
nobly, secured the ball on downs, once
only one yard from the goal line when
another touchdown for Chicago seemed
inevitable The ball was then punted
out of danger only to be moved back
by line hammering. A muddy grid
iron prevented the brilliant punting
that was expected. While O'Dea
punted we'll his kicking was far from
being his best; still there was very
little difference between his punting
and Herschberger's ODea missed
two difficult goals from the field and
the former five two of Herschberg-
er's being drop and three place kicks.
Wisconsin's offensive work was the
poorest of the season and its repeated
fumbling at critical points was most
discouraging. Chicago's dirty playing
ELECTED frequent Kisses, finally result
ing in Rodgers being ruled off the field
for cowarlly kicking O'Dea in the head
after tackle. The badgers were not
dispirited After the game President
Adams made speech at the Hotel
Victoria, saying that Wisconsin took
its defeat in a true sportsman spirit
and prophesying victory next year
when 1t has a heavier line. Later
members of the team also spoke.
Tremendous cheering greeted each
Gov. Scotield, Secretary Casson, Treas
urer Peterson and Secretary Ander-
son were among the 1000 Wisconsin
spectators. Under fair skies but on
soft and treacherous field the elevens
met on Marshall field. Probably the
largest crowd that ever gathered at a
football game in Chicago witnessed
the game. The big gridiron was al
most completely inclosed by tier lpon
tier of seats packed with cardinal or
maroon decked people, while along
the wire fence at the sides of the grid
iron thousands of others stretched
and swayed with the varying fortunes
of the game.
