BILE Pennsylvania.

Madison, Wis, Oct 2S-Illinois
to Saturday afternoon. forward
pass as eXpounded by Illinois proved
Wisconsin's undoing. While the game
was largely a punting contest between
Gardiner of Illinois and Rogers Of
Wisconsin, the latter teams failure to
use the pass trick until the latter end
of the second half was fatal to both in
offense and defense. Illinois outplayed
Wisconsin. Sennock was the star.
The absence of Osthoff from the back
field and Dittman from the line largely
accounts for Wisconsin's showing. Ili-
nois made the first score in the first
half on a place kick by Green going
from the 30-yard line, Wisconsin max
ing its only score on a similar play,
Messmer from the 15-yard line. Near
the end of the first half Sennock
scored touchdown for Illinois and
soon after Lift scored a second touch
down, Green kicking goal.
Leon Lift. the former high school
football star of this city who was play
ing fullback for Illinois, his first game
in the regular lineup, received much
praise in the big dailies for his work
Saturday The touchdown he made
was the most spectacular of the con-
test. He got the ball in a scrimmage
in which he eXtricated himself from a
badly confused mass of players and
ran down a clear field to the goal.
