Beats Wisconsin Team by Score Of Six
Points to Nothing.
ALL SCORING IS IN THE FIRST HALF
sides Evenly Matched and Both Fight
Hard, Encouraged by shouts of
Thousands OF Rooters in
Grandstands.

CHICAGO, Nov. before a crowd so
densely packed that it was found necessary
20 close the gates OF Marshall field, the
battle for foot ball supremacy between
Michigan and Wisconsin was fought out
today and Michigan won, s to o.
II has been years since such a crowd
has been attracted to a foot ball game in
the west, and the inadequancy Of the ac-
commodations Of Marshall field for such a
crowd, estimated at 22,OOO, resulted in an
accident in which several persons were
hurt. AT the northeast corner Of the
grounds one OF the temporary grand stands.
hastily erected to accommodate 400 people,
crowded beyond it's capacity. fell with a
crash. Mr.. Bartelme, Immediately gave or
ders that no more tickets should be sold.
Those who already had tickets we're ad-
mltted. One man who was turned away
was heard to offer 500, but the fortunate
possessor refused.
Wisconsin was represented by about 1000
"rooters' and Michigan by about the same
number.
Mlchigan's scoring was done in the frst
eight minutes Of the game. Wisconsin
was simply overwhelmed for the lnst few
minutes by Michigan's terrific line bucking.
1t was only a brief loss of head but IL
cost the game. For the rest Of the game
the Badgers showed themselves nearly, II
not entirely, Michigan's equals. but either
fumbles or a sharp stifening in the OPP
posing line would force them to punt.
Michigan fumbled only once.
Nothing could show better the fighting
spirit Of the Badgers than the stand they
took after Michigan's touchdown. The

their line held.
The remainder OF the game was played
chiefly in wisconsin's territory, but never
again we're the Badgers so colsely pressed.
Wisconsin forced Michigan to punt re-
~peatedly during the second half.
Michigan won on merit, according to
many impartial critics, but the grain Of
superiority the team displayed over Wis
consin was SO small that the Badger
'rooters" will have "ifs' enough to keep
them talking for many a day.

II was the fastest kind of ball. Michi-
gan's defense, over which Yost is said to
have sighed, seemed very stin. Their Of
Tense was terrific and called a woeful cho-
rus of "kolds' from the Badgers stand.

renewed smashing tackles and in a min
