sent the ball poorly TO F'fnoke. Mcbride
on the next play returned the ball to
Wtsconsins 45-yard line, but out Of
bounds, and O'Dea tried Wisconsfn's
only real trick by trying double pass
to Pelle, but the latter did not catch 1t,
and Il yards were lost. O'Dea kicked to
Fincke on Yale's 40-yard line, Mcbride
hosting the ball for 80 yards when
O'Dea again returned the compliment to
the 90-yard line and again outside the
lines
Mcbride found a hole for eight yards
in the line, and at once added another
three yards. The Yale captain dropped
back for another try of conclusions with
O'Dea, and sent the ball to the big Bad
ger on his 90-yard line. O'Dea failed to
get any advantage, the ball bounding
on the ground and rolling back to Wis
consin's 45-yard line. Sharpe and Nc
Bride after tried the Wisconsin line for
short gains, but on the line UP Yale
lost the ball for interference.
BUCKED THE BADGERS.
For six or seven trials Yale bucked
the Badger line for straight gains, just
enough to make the necessary distance,
until a tumble by Fihcke sent the ball
rolling right in front of the Wisconsin
backs. Luckily Hale the big Yale tack
le was there and saved the ball. The
ball see-saWed back and forth for sew
eraI rushes until Yale regained possess
ion of it and Mcbride made as good a
kick as any of his filters during the
game. Wilmarth on Wisconsin's 45-yard
line tried to gather it in, but muffed it,
and Thomas was upon him taking the
ball out Of bounds and netted Yale a
handsome gain. O'Dea fumbled Nc
Brides kick on Wisconsin's 25-yard line
and Schweppe repeated Thomas's per-
formance Mcbride dropped the ball on
try through center and Yale lost it.
O'Dea sent the ball out of danger, for
it was very close to Wiseonsin's goal,
considering that Sharpe was fairly sure
for drop kick at this distance. Sharpe
secured the ball but missing HIS inter-
ference fell fiat. O'Dea tried the rush
line by sending them down to the mid
die of the field after a punt where Yale
had hard work rushing the ball back
Mcbride sent the ball through the air
to O'Dea again, however, who kicked 1t
out of bounds. Mcbride did as badly, the
ball going bounding along out Of
bounds On the next exchange O'Dea
let the ball roll across his goal lines
where while picking it up both Yale
ends grabbed him. Failing to wiggle
away from them, O'Dea made a fierce
pass at Thomas On the kick out Yale
got the ball. but the half was over.
THE SECOND HALF.
The second half opened with Brown
kicking the ball to Chamberlain on the
1O-yard line. The bail was carried back
by brilliant run by the right half-back
to the middle Of the field. Wisconsin's
try at Yale's center failed, for Cunha,
Olcott and Brown were impregnable.
The Badger backs tried the ends for
short gains, and then between left
guard and tackle.
O'Dea dropped back for a kick, but
Brown was through his opponent and
blocked it, though O'Dea was in his
protected formation for a try at goal.
though fully 80 yards from it Nc
Bride made splendid punt TO O'Dea
on his 10-yard line, and it looked like
a magnificent opportunity to return the
oval, but Thomas again was upon the
Badger and threw him so hard that the
big full back lay winded for few mo-
ments.
O'Dea recovered possession of his
wind and lifted the pigskin just as the
wind caught it, and 1t went soaring
high in the air for So yards, the Yale
spectators applauding the brilliant
punt Mcbride showed his sand on the
next play. He dropped the ball on a
poor pass, but recovered it and sent 1t
off for 35 yards despite the jolt a Wis
consin end gave him.
RICHARDS PUT IN.
Richards was put into the game at
the second half, and at once began to
make himself felt His short sharp
rushes netted Yale many yards. But
when the ball finally went to Wiscon-
sin, O'Dea astonished the crowd again
by a sixty-yard punt, which Sharpe
This was the critical point
of the game, for the ball was on Yale's
10-yard line. But the Yale team got
together and marched up the field
steadily for long gains, bowling over
their opponents like pipestems. Rich
ards finding soft spots through tackle
and ends for 20 yards, 10 yards and
more. Thus far the visitors were on
the defensive and Yale on the offensive.
RICHARDS RUSH.
Slow rushing followed until on Yale's
45-yard line Richards, fresh and strong,
got the ball and behind good inter-
ference until clear of the Badger tack
lers, sped down the field Peele ana
caught him by the legs,
but both failed to hold him, and Will
marth was bowled over with a shove
of the extended arm, while a fourth
man was right back of him. The fourth
man sped down the field and actually
got his hands on Richards as he crossed
the goal lines, sliding forward for five
yards.
The touchdown was made, but had
the Wisconsin tackle taken a headlong
