IS Ann ArDOr, Mlcf., NOV. l6.-FlEht-
ing to the last, the gallant wearers Of
Wisconsin's cardinal fell before the
famous Yost machine" by the score Of
Is to 0 here Saturday in one Of the
most desperately fought, but at the
same time the cleanest, contests ever
seen on Ferry field. At the finish close
to 10000 happy wearers of the maize
and blue marched off the grounds
knowing that the old-tine rivals,
feated to fight for the final honors Of
the west on Thanksgiving day.
The courageous badger eleven never
lost more honorably. Overmatched,
by sheer gameness they held the Ann
Arbor men to no score turnout the
thirty five minutes Of the first half,
and in the second period, with no
chance Of victory, their fighting never
ceased.
Fine Work by Hammond.
Michigan, confident in it's two sea-
sons without a defeat, simply would
not be denied. Like Chicago two
weeks earlier. the Ann Arbor men al
ways found it difficult to gain when
ever the badger goal line was seri-
ously threatened, and Tom" I. Ham
mond, the freshman from Hyde Park,
was used for the first score by a goal
from field. The former teammate of
Eckersall gave Michigan ten Of her
points by place kicks, and the addi-
tional six came on a. touchdown by
Big Maddox, and the coveted goal,
which was also made by. the ex-Hyde
Parker.
The wisconsin goal line was crossed
but only after a, bad tumble by Scho-
field had given Michigan the ball on
the cardinals f1fteen-yard mark. Time

stopped when once they got within the
Wisconsin twenty-five-yard mark.
Schof1eld's tumble came only a few
moments after Hammond's first goal
from field, and, encouraged by the I'M
usual opportunity, Maddox, Heston,
Longman and Graver:did what had be-
fore been impossible. Smashing mass
plays directed off the tackles and at
the cardinal center advanced Michigan
two and three yards at time to the
ten-yard line. Three more plays then
gave the Ann Arber men first down
only five yards from the goal.
Coach Curtis men then seemed to
redouble their efforts, but to no avail
Twice the mass plays forced the
leather forward. But one yard still
stood between Michigan and the
touchdown. No team could have
fought more coureageously in the last
ditch, but again Maddock's signal was
given. The two opposing lines sprane
forward and the superior strength and
weight of the wolverines prevailed. !
| Maddox Across Line.
| The cardinal line wavered and the
twenty-five athletes fell in confused
heap, buts Big" Maddox was across
the line. with the ball safely tucked
under him, and Michigan's score was

trusty foot sent the ball over the bars
and Michigan led bys11 to O.
Then, soon after the next Kickoff
the victorious wolverines again forced

consin finally held, but the carolina
was forced to punt, and Graver made

This gave Hammond another at
tempt at a field goal, but this time the
ball went wide. Wisconsin kicked
out, but again Michigan forced hel
way into cardinal territory. The bad
gers held still another time and were
! in turn forced to punt. Little Gravel
again made a fair catch.

ball for Hammond, this time; on the

and again the Hyde Parker made
