CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Beaten by Chi
cago's advantage IN weight. That is
the story, in a nutshell, of the game
to-day between the Chicago and Wis
consin football elevens. Overmatched
in weight by an average of probably
twelve pounds TO man, and with the
additional handicap of playing the first
half on the soft north end Of the field,
the acknowledged Wisconsin men
were slowly but surely forced back TO
their goal line, Capt Kennedy, of Chi
cago, finally boring through for a
touchdown, Hershberger kicked an
easy goal. This occurred in the first
10 minutes play, In the first half, and
ii was the only score of the game,
though once again in the second half
It looked as II Chicago would score.
From the thirty-five-yard line the ball
was carried steadily down the field,
Chicagos heavy backs plunging into
the Wisconsin line for gain after gain.
Here occurred some OF the most spec
tacular playing of the game. Strug-
Cling desperately for every inch, the
defense Wisconsin put up made ii nee
essary to twice measure the distance
to see whether the necessary five yards
had been made. At last the ball was
brought 10 the two-yard line, but Chi
cago could get It no farther, and a
moment later O'Dea's foot sent the
pigskin far up the field.
Notwithstanding the closeness OF the
score. Chicago's goal was in real dan
ger only twice. A kick by Hershberger,
which was cleverly blocked by Coch-
ems, resulted in the bali rebounding to
Chicago's ten-yard line, but a Chicago
man fell on II. Again, a moment or
two later, O'Dea tried a field kick from
the thirty-yard line, but the kick.
though straight. was far too low, and
went into Wisconsin's line.
