NEW HAVEN, Conn, October 21-
The University of Wisconsin football
eleven had her colors lowered by Yale
here this afternoon in a contest. the
final score of which was Yale 6, Wis
consin 0. but the Yale men required
nearly all of the fifty minutes of play
to secure the single touchdown and
goal which constituted her victory over
the young men who came from the West
to wage the battle. The game in many
respects was the finest ever witnessed
On the Yale gridiron, for it was not I'M
til within the last five minutes of play
that the Yale men were able to cross
the coveted goal line. At that the play
was of an extraordinary character for
the scoring came only after a thrilling
run of 65 yards by Richards, the Yale
half back, who was carried by magnifi-
cent interference past the Wisconsin
rush line. and then, being left to his
own resources wiggled his way through
the entire Wisconsin back field, eluding
the four crack backs of the Badgers,
and ultimately planting the ball square
ly behind the goal posts.
Two 25-minute halves were played
and throughout the two periods the
Wisconsin men carried CONSERVATION
to the hearts of the Yalensians by sam
pies of football which seemed to be in
vincible.
When nearly every spectator had con-
cluded that the game would end in tie
at nothing to nothing, Richards, Yale
half back, who replaced Chadwick in
the second half, was given the pigskin.
He received it on Yale's 45-yard line
and in a trice pocketed himself in
bunch of clever interference, which pro-
tected him to the rush line. Here mat
tiers became exciting and he broke
away from his interference and darted
out into the open with the four Wiscon-
sin backs converging upon him. The
first man he lodged, a second he
eluded with a clever foot movement,
the third he bowled over with his free
arm and then proceeded to run around
and away from the last opponent, who
went tearing after him as the fleet run
ner sped toward the line. The touch
down which followed brought an easily
kicked goal netting a score of six.
The striking feature of Wisconsin's
play was found in the sole dependence
of the Westerners upon Captain Odea's
kicking ability Not more than half
dozen times during the game did the
visitors undertake to advance the ball
by rushes, it being almost an unvaria-
BILE rule to send it back to Odea for a
booting. This marvellous man display
ed kicking prowess which has never
been equalled on the Yale field and
the honors were all his way in this de-
partment of the game. He was placed
at disadvantage in the matter of drop
kicking, for his team seemed to be I'M
able to get within striking distance.
However, he made four attempts at
goals from the field and all were fail
ures. Two of them were out and out
misses and twice his kicks were nicely
blocked by Yale men.
The game started at 3:14. Captain
Mcbride chose the north goal with the
wind in favor of Yale.
Captain Odea kicked off from the
center of the field to Fincke on the 20
yard line. Fincke dropped it. Heele
tried for a gain through Cunha. He
stopped short Odea then dropped back
for try at goal, but Hale the Yale
tackle, was almost upon him and Odea
sent the oval outside the lines. Sharpe
tried out the right tackle to Curtis for
a 10-yard gain, and Mcbride followed
into the line for a short gain. Nc
Bride dropped back for a mighty effort
and sent the ball high to the 45-yard
line, where Odea neatly gathered it in
and started to rush it back. Yale got
the ball. and a moment later Odea Sc
cured the pigskin and punted, but was
blocked The Yale captain dropped
back later for a try and sent the ball
to the big Badger on his 30-yard line.
Odea failed to get any advantage, the
ball bounding on the ground and roll
ing back to Wisconsins 45-yard line.
Sharpe and Mcbride after him tried the
