The Northwestern Eleven Easy Vie
Tins for Chicago University.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Over 5000 foot
ball enthusiasts saw the purple of
Northwestern go down before the
maroon of Chicago today by a score of
"a to 8. The result from the first kick
off was never in doubt, although Chi
cago did not succeed in scoring until
about fifteen minutes of the first half
had been played. The playing, how
ever, was almost altogether in North
western territory. The Improvement IN
the work of the Chicago line over the
ragged work OF a week ago with Beloit
was so marked as to be almost start
ling. The men played we'll together and
the tandem plays against tackles,
which Northwestern used frequently at
first, were seldom productive of much
gain.
On the other hand Northwestern was
utterly unable to stop the maroons'
heavy backs in their plunges through
the line Chicago used a mass on tackle
very frequently, almost always for
good gains, Shaker hitting the line with
a force not seen in a Western game
since Jack Richards played with Wis
consin. Hershberger's kicking for chi
cago was not as accurate as usual. He
succeeded in putting one through the
goal posts out of three trials, that from
the thirty-five-yard line, but his punt
ing far eXcelIed that of Perry, and his
lodging runs with the ball after catch
ing puntS were beautiful to behold.
A peculiar feature of the game was
the great number Of penalties imposed
on both sides for off side play or hold
ing in the line. Chicago's oVer-eager-
ness, in fact, probably cost them two
touchdowns, as they lost the ball for
holding once on Northwestern's two
yard line and once when within foot
of the coveted goal.
Chicagos first scoring was in the
first half on a place kick, and the
touchdown was added after a pretty
run of thirty-two yards by Ha1nill
around the ends. This brought the
ball to Northwesterns thirteen-yard
line and mass plays on tackle, in which
Laker was used, carried the ball over
In the three downs.
Kennedy added a touchdown soon af-
ter the beginning of the second half
by a pretty twenty-f1ve-yard run, fol-
lowed by mass on tackle. North
western then took a brace and after an
exchange of punts carried the ball to
Chicagos twenty-five-yard line, where
it was lost on downs.
Then followed the star run Of the
day. Hershberger punted five yards to
Johnson. quick as naSh the little
fellow started down the east side of
the field. Twice he was tackled, but
he shook loose and lodging and jump
ing he finally cleared the entire Chicago
eleven and carried the ball over the
line, after a run Of seventy-five yards
No goal was kicked, and that ended
Northwestern scoring After that
touchdowns came rapidly for Chicago.
On double pass, with fake mass on
tackle, Hamill ram thirty-f1ve yards.
The same player was soon afterwards
rushed over again after Chicago had
secured the ball after a tumble on
Northwestern five-yard line. Near the
close the double pass was worked sue
cessfuily again, Kennedy carrying the
oval twenty-five yards and over the
line.
Time was called with the ball in Chi
cago's possession on her f1fty-yard line
The teams lined up as follows:
