outnumbered the men and were fully
as enthusiastic.
All of the best carriages, traps and
brakes of the city, loaded with jolly
young and not a few older persons,
were lined up on the south side of the
gridiron and added not little to the
| brilliancy of the scene.
Owing to the cold, drizzling rain
that fell during the entire game the
| boxes on the south side of the grid
iron were not occupied. The occu-
pants of those on the north side brave
ly sat out the contest, being somewhat
sheltered by umbrellas and rain coats.
Both the Minnesota and Wisconsin
varsity bands enlivened the occasion
with all sorts of rag" music, the IA
vorite air being Hot Time, to which
the crowd sang, Cheer, Boys, Cheer,
Wisconsin's Got the Ball, etc. After
each touchdown the badgers, in slow
unison, would count up the score.
Jerry Riordan of Baraboo, last years
captain, was a conspicuous figure along
the side lines and was repeatedly
|
captain of the team two years ago, was
also present, but was not so much in
evidence as Jerry" Lewis, center on
tue celebrated Yale team was also a
conspicuous spectator, while many an
alumnus was seen who had taken ad
vantage of this occasion to revisit his
alma mater.
Of %
game was, what will we do with Chi
cago Nov. u. The cranks unanimous
up answered that Stages men would
be defeated. Indeed that was the gen
eral impression. The badgers were
glad to learn that Chicago scored twice
in the Pennsylvania game which re-
suited % to Ii in favor of the Quakers.
This is the first time Pennsylvania has
been scored on this season. While the
badgers are fairly confident of defeat
ing Stages men, they are fearful that
they will be unable to do what Penn
sylvania couldn't do-prevent Chicago
from scoring. With Pat" O'Dea and
Holmes in the game, the badger team
is far stronger than it was Saturday.
Other Games.
Philadelphia, Oct 3O.-The Univer-
sity of Chicago football eleven succeed
ed Saturday afternoon in crossing the
University OF Pennsylvania goal, the
first time the red and blue has been
scored on this season, the final score
being, University Of Pennsylvania %,
| Chicago university IL. For the first
! ten minutes of the play the Chicago
boys simply carried the Quaker's off
their feet and it looked as though they
were going to have a walk over, but
then the Pennsylvania men took a
brace and played in something like
their true form. They held the heavy
backs Of the maroons by their beauti-
| full defensive work, and would then
plough through the heavy Chicago line
| for good gains, only to lose the ball
! by miserable tumble. Gardiner was
! the chief offender in this respect for
the red and blue, while Herschberger
made some miserable attempts at
catching Hare's low twisting punts.
! ten minutes after the play started.
Chicago got the ball on Pennsylvania
45-yard line. Clarke went around the
left end for 20 yards and Herschberger
| duplicated the trick on the next line
up. The ball was then on PennsyI-
vania's 5-yard line. On the next line
up Clarke was pushed over for a touch
down. In the second half Herschber-
ger dropped field goal from a place
kick from Pennsylvania 27-yard line.
Pennsylvania outplayed the visitors in
the second half, the play being almost
entirely in the maroon's territory.
