NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. H--The Unt-
yersity of Wisconsin football team had her
colors lowered by Yale here this afternoon
in a contest, the final score Of which was;
Yale, 6; Wisconsin, 0. but the Yale men re-
quired nearly all of the fifty minutes OF play
to secure the single touchdown and goai
which constituted her victory over the
young men vino came from the West TO
wage the battle. The game In many re-
spects was the finest ever witnessed on the
Yale gridiron. for IL was not-untn the iast
five minutes of play that the Yale men
were able TO cross the coveted goal iines
At that time the play was OF an exuaoroi-
nary character. for the scoring came only
after thrilling run of sixty-fve yards oy
Richards, the Yale half back. who was car
ried by magnificent interference past tne
wisconsin rush line. and then. being left to
his own resources. wiggled his way tnrouen
the entire Wisconsin back field, eluding the
four crack backs of the Badgers and ulti-
mately planting the ball sQuarely behind
the goal posts.
Two twenty-fve-minute halves were
PLAYED. and throughout the two periods the
wisconsin men carried CONSERVATION TO the
hearts of the Yale men by samples OF foot
ball which seemed TO be invincible. When
rearlv every spectator had concluded that
the game would end I'm a tie at to Q. Rich
ards. a Yale half back who replaced Cnad-
wick I'm the second half. was given the pig
skin. He received it on Taie's forty-nve-
ward line, and in q trice pocketed himsen
i'm a bunch of clever interference, which
protected him to the rush line. Here mat
ters became exciting. and he broke away
from his interference and darted out into
the open with the four Wisconsin backs con-
yerging on him. The first man he dodged'
second he eluded with clever foot move
ment 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 runner
sped towards the line. The touchdown
which followed brought an easily kicked
goal, netting score of g.
oDEA A GREAT KICKER
The most startling feature of Wisconsins
NAV was found In the sole dependence OF
the Westerners upon Captain ODea's KICK
ing ability. Not more than half dozen
times during the game did the visitors un-
dertake to advance the ball by rushess it
being almost invariably the rule to send &c
back to ODea for a booting. This mar
velous man displayed kicking proves
which has never been equalled i'm the Yale
field, and the honors were all his way II
this department of the game. He was
nIaced at a disadvantage in the matter Of
drop kicking, for his team seemed to be
unable TO get within striking distance.
However. he made four attempts at goals
from the field, and all were failures. Two
of them were out-and-out misses. and twice
his kicks were nicely blocked by Yale men,
