Chicago, November 25.-Chicago pulled Wisconsin out of the first place tie in the western football conference by winning from the Badgers here today. The score was to 0. A touchdown by Fullback Pierce gave Chicago tfie victory. Scruby failed to make in his try for goal. A Maroon line prevented Wisconsin from scoring in a situation like that proflted by the Chicago team not more than five min utes before the score was made. It was Wisconsin's only opportunity for a touch down.
 By matching Molls bunting with that of Scruby. by successfully blocking all the Wisconsin quarterback's clever individual playing and by putting forth a stauncher line and superior back field, Chicago lifted itself out of third place in the conference to tie with the Badgers for honors. Dur ing the second period the ball remained within 15 yards of center field, except when punts carried it away. In the sec- ond period, Scruby missed a 40-yard kick for field goal and Moll kicked out to the centerfield, where most of the remainder of this period was played.
 The third quarter was the telling period. On shift plays that made it difEieult to determine who had the ball and where. Sauer plunged through guard for nine yards. Sauer made two yards more. Pierce, smashing through the Wisconsin left tackle knocked that individual fully rod back of Ais own goal line and
