AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

LinsIys Won the Scholastic Cham ionsbip
at Footbail-The Mounted Broadsword
Combat.
There were about a thousand specta-
tors at the Fair grounds yesterday
afternoon to witness the broadsword
combats between Capt. Duncan Ross
and others, and the struggle on the
gridiron between the Linslys and Bell
aire High School for tne lnter-city
scholastic championship.
The field was in wretched shape for
playing, and no goals were constructed.
The Linsly boys had number OF
rooters, while the High School team
came up with not more than half
dozen persons outside of the team. A
large number of the fair sex were
present including several Bellalre
girls, who displayed their school colors.
The game started at three o'clock,
and terminated about eleven minutes
later in a very unsatisfactory manner.
1t was preceded by the usual squabble
as to the eligibility of certain players.
Caldwell kicked off for the Linslys to
Thallman. High School lost the ball
on tumble, MCGEE securing it for
Linsly. Killmyer carried it around the
right end for a magnificent run of 40
yards against weak tackling, bringing
it within five yards of the Bellaire
goal line. MCGEE took the ball around
the other end for a touch down, after
about three minutes playing.
Thallman kicked off for Bellaire and
Emblem secured the ball and brought
1t back ten yards Killmyer made a
run around the right end for four yards,
and McGee made similar gain around
the left end, and fumbled. High School
held the ball for two downs. With
one yard to gain for their down, the
referee decided that High School lost
the ball on Bellaire's 40 yard line.
Then a strenuous kick was made by
the visitors, and the game ended. The
Bellaire boys claim that the necessary
gain was made, and that the referee
accused the linemen of removing the
line. They alleged that this was absurd,
in view of the fact that the linemen
were Linsly boys. In any event the
Linsly team agreed to give the ball to
B. H. S. if they would finish the game.
The Bellaire captain declined, giving
as his reason for refusing to play, that
there was evidence of a disposition to
unfairness, which might develop during
the remainder of the game. The visi-
tors got into their conveyance. and
after considerable talk the crowd left
the field for the grand stand. The

CROWD OF $1,000
Saw wisconsin Defeat Michigan at ChIcss
Yesterday

CHICAGO, November 30-BeforD
what was probably the largest crowd
that ever gathered to witness football
game In the west, the eleven from the
University OF Wisconsin defeated tho
University OF Michigan eleven on the
National League grounds this morning
by score Of II 10 5. The mighty
right leg OF Pat ODea, the Wisconsin
captain and full back. was a big factor
in the one-sided score OF II to 5, as ha
was responsible for ten of the points
scored by the badgers. Once he lifted
the ball clearly between the goal posts
from the thirty-flve yard line, and once
his punt went 40 far that Mclean mis-
Judged it and fumbling gave Lyman q
chance to fall on the pigskin behind
Michigans goal posts, which he did.
The second touchdown by Wisconsin
was made on clean, hard football In the
second half. the light but active line

eleven was remarkable and time and

to punt. The exchanges while O'Doa

was ruled out for smuggling on the play
that resulted in a touchdown By Hy-
man. and Driver, who took his place,
was much inferior to Mlchigan's kicks

plunging through the line.
Wisconsin was expected 20 show In
feriority in her offense game. but the
way the badger backs tore through was
a surprise to even their mot senthus'as-

Capt. Duncan Ross kept faith with
the public, although it cannot be said
that his broad sword combat with
Sergt Davis and Sawyer possessed the
interest anticipated by the crowd.
There was not sufficient action. This
was in a measure due to the condition
of the track, which did not allow good
footing for the horses. They were
local animals. unaccustcmed to such
work. Capt Ross had the better horse
and proved very skillful in handling it.
