FOOTBALL

New Haven, Conn, Oct. A.-The nj
Tersity of Wisconsin football eleven had
her colors lowered by Yale here this af-
ternoon in a contest, the final score of
which was: Yale, 6; Wisconsin, 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 grid
iron, for it was not until within the last
five minutes of the play that the Yale
men were able to cross the coveted goal
line. At that the play was of an extra
ordinary character and the scoring came
only after thrilling run Of 60 yards by
richards, the Yale half-back, who was
carried by magnificent interference, past
the Wisconsin rush line, and then, being
left to his own resources, eluding the
four crack backs Of the Badgers and ul-
timately planting the ball squa-ely be-
hind the goal posts. Two 25-minute halves
were played, and throughout the two
periods the Wisconsin men carried con-
sternation to the hearts of the Yale root
ers by samples of football which seemed
to be invincible. When nearly every
would end in a tie at nothing to moth
placed Chadwick in the second half, was
given the pigskin. He received it on
YaIe's 45-yard line, and in a trice peck
eted himself in bunch of clever inter
ference, which protected him to the rush
line. Here matters became exciting and
he broke away from his interference and
dartd out into the open with the four
Wisconsin backs cOnverginfi upon him,
The first man he lodged; a second he
eluded with clever foot movement; the
third ne 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 runner sped
toward the line. The touchdown which
followed became an easily kicked goal,
netting a score of S. The most striking
feature of Wisconsin's play was found
in the sole dependence of the westerners
upon Captain O'Dea's kicking ability.
Not more than half dozen times during
the game did the visitors undertake to
advance the ball by rushes. it being al
most the invariabfe rule to send it back
to O'Dea for a booting. This marvellous
man displayed a kicking prowess which
has never been equalled on the Yale
field and the honors were all his way
was placed at a disadvantage in the mat
ter of drop-kicking, for his team seemed
unable to get within striking distance.
However. attempts at goals, the field and
all were failures. Two of them were
out-and-out misses. and twice his kicks
were nicely blocked by Yale men.
Cambridge Mass. Oct. 21.-Harvard in
defeating Brown university II TO in to-
days game, ran up against its hardest
proposition thus far, and it is to Browns
credit that the Crimson had to play a
stiff game. Harvard's offensive and de-
fensive work were magnificent, but the
ed to combinations of trick plays and
quick runs around the ends.
