CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The football eleven
Of the University Of Pennsylvania barely
escaped defeat at the hands Of tie
University of Chicago eleven, today, in q
game that for desperate playing has sell
dom been equaled In the West. The final
score was tie, both sides scoring a
touchdown In the second half, and neither
kicking goal, leaving the total score
to 5. Better football, SO far as clean,
snappy playing Is concerned, has been
seen in two OF three games here this
season, but for such gameness for rallies,
when to yield the least bit would result
in a touchdown, and for situations ten :

CHICAGO'S PLAY SUPERIOR.
Chicago's all-around playing was su-
perior to that Of the Quakers. The lat
ter were utterly unable to get, around
the Maroon's ends, and in the first half
were frequently held for downs even when
using the dreaded guards back play,
which has brought victory to the red and
blue in many games. In the second half,
however, the awful hammering told Sc
Verely in the Chicago forwards, and
during the series of plays which resulted
in Pennsylvania touch down, they were
played off their feet. The play was also
used to good effect toward the close of
the game, and shortly before time was
called the big Pennsylvania guards were
dragging their backs through for five to
ten-yard gains. But most of the time
during the second half the bail was well
within Pennsylvania territory, and only
the fefcest kind Of playing by the we'll
nigh exhausted Quakers saved them from
defeat.
Notwithstanding the fact that rain had
been falling steadily since Thursday

was in fair condition careful draining
and frequent applications of sawdust
prevented the field from getting soft,
and when the players lined up for the
kick off, the field was in much better
shape than had been hoped for. A crowd
of fully 5000 enthusiasts witnessed the
struggle, including several hundred root
ers for the red and blue Of Pennsylva-
mia, and the latter team did not lack en-
