CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Chicago Outplayed
Wisconsin on Marshall Field to-day before
a crowd of 5000 enthusiastic rooters and
won by the score of IL to 0. in hard fought
but not brilliant game of football. The
Maroons settled a score of years stand
ing with Coach Phil Kings Badgers and
administered the third defeat of the season
to Wisconsin. Chicago made only one
touchdown from which a goal was kicked.
Ellsworth scored the other five points by
place kick from Wisconsins sixteen
yard line. Honors were about even
until the second half when Driver
made a poor punt and Schnur. TAX
ing advantage of the shifting Of
position, broke through tackle and placed
the pigskin behind the goal posts after
sixteen-yard run Ellsworth kicked goal.
Ellsworth tried a placement kick for goal
from Wisconsin's twenty seven yard line in
the second half, but failed The rest Of the
game was routine work.
Chicagos anxiety to charge during the
game resulted in offside plays three times
and the peEalizing of the Maroons. Els
worth was extremely fortunate in punting
but Bertke kicked two OF them. The Wis
consin men often let Chicago's interference
fool them. Interference through the tackle,
the man with the ball going through center
and vice versa was a good ground gamer
for Chicago. Speik's end play for Chicago
was too strong for Wisconsins attempted
end runs.
Wisconsin came down to Marshall Field
with hospital list. Captain Juneau was
scarcely fit for hard contest and Wander
boom, the new "Norsky Larson" Of the
Badger backfield, had scarcely recovered
from his injuries received in the game with
Minnesota. 1t was far from being the Wis
battle with the Chicago men, whose
straight, hard fought football began to tell
from the start. Driver Wisconsin's best
kicker and a hard line bucker, was not
able TO start the game and Monatt went IN
at full back. Juneau and Vanderboom were
depended upon to make the half back posi-
tons as strong as they were when
Cochems and Larson had the places.
Haumerson had to do the kicking for Wis
consin and his work in the first half was
scarcely on par with Ellsworth's.
Stage felt confident with Lee Maxwell,
his best quarter back, in his old position,
Sheldon's partner on the right. Abbott
played a star game for Wisconsin at left
end, getting through the Chicago Interior
ence many times when three men were
ahead of the man carrying the ball, and
played himself into a dazed condition.
Chicago won the toss and chose the north
goal securing the aid of a cold northwest
wind Abbott kicked off to Farr, on Chi
Cages fifteen-yard line. The ball was i'm
mediately returned by Ellsworth's punt.
Wisconsin tried her team offense and after
Vanderboom made first down by terrific
lne-bucking, Haumerson tried punt The
ball went out of bounds on the Wisconsin
thirty-five-yard line. The ball then went
to Wisconsin on a tumble, and Wander
by a cross buck through Chicago's left
tackle. The attack worried Koehler, and
Coach Stagg sent his tackle to end and put
in Trip for the wearing cross-buck plays.
Somebody in the Wisconsin line was caught
holding and the ball went to Chicago.
Captain Sheldon, Perkins and Schnur were
used in hard line plunges and slowly the
pigskin worked down toward the south
goal. When it had travelled to Wisconsin,
eleven-yard line, Ellsworth fell back for
a place kick and scored it. Wisconsin
speedily recovered and when the first half
effectively battering Chicagos line.
Schnur distinguished himself in the Sec
ond half by scoring the only touchdown
and running sixteen yards. Ellsworth
kicked goal and the score was IL to in
Chicagos favor. During the remainder of
the second half Chicago was able to hold
Wisconsin. On the thirty-yard line Chi
cago got the ball on downs. Bezdek was
sent to take Schnur's place, Ivison re-
placed Wightman, who had taken Perkins s
place at full back, and Catlin went out.
Koehler had been hammered at tackle so
hard he was moved to end and Trip went
into his old place. Vanderboom did some
great hurdling for Wisconsin and the Wis
consin rooters called loudly for q touch
down. But time was called with the ball
in Wisconsin's possession and the Maroon
goal not seriously threatened Marsh was
given trial by Coach King in the last few
minutes of the play and put up a good
game at half back l.ine-uD.
