of Six Trials -Hestons
Long Run.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Michigan, 81; Chi
cago, 0. This was the result of Satur-
days struggle between the Old-t1me rival
universities, but it tells nothing of the
desperation and heroism of Chicago's de-
Tense.

straight football. Ten points came
straight from Right End sweeley who out
of six attempts made two goals from field;
third touchdown was delivered by Left
Half Heston, who plunged rs yards down
the field, unmolested by local player.
Scores made In this manner are usual
,ly labeled "1uke'' by partizans of the de-
feated team, and by this reasoning, Chi
cagoans are averring that II to 0 would
have come nearer indicating the relative
merits of the two teams.
Michigan supporters were disappointed
at the showing Of the wolverines. They
played with far less speed than they dis
played against Wisconsin two weeks ago.
It looked as if the locomotive eleven"
from Ann Arbor had grown stale.
Wolverines Fear Gophers.
The news of the decisive defeat Of the
| badgers by the Minnesota eleven was re-
ceived in the Michigan grand stand with
the comment unless Michigan gets back
into form Of two weeks ago, the western
championship will go to Minnesota when
the two squads meet Thanksgiving Day"

Maroons Never Dangerous.
During the remainder Of the game Chi
cago was more formidable, but never dan
gerous. The ball was on Michigan ground
several times, but the closest the Maroons
got to- the coveted touchdown was on

disastrous tumble, Sweeley's punt and the
ensuing tumble gave Michigan the ball on
Chicago's 35-yard line, and within few
minutes the maroon line was hurled back

weather was cold enough to be ideal for
the sport, and the gridiron was in excel
lent shape. Michigan only used two sub
stftutes; Chicago several more.
