Madison.-Chicago was given big
surprise in the annual game here, by
being held to scoreless tie. For four
thrilling periods the Maroon and the
Cardinal lines moved up and down the
gridironed turf-the advantage pass
ing from one side to the other with
the rapidity and changing front of re-
peated cavalry charges in on open
plain.
Wisconsin had the better team. The
Badgers upset the dope in the best
possible form, and battled Stages Ma
rooms to a standstill. The final out
come of the great fray was 0 to 0
score, but the cardinal clad warriors
covered themselves with honor.
With the betting 2 to against
them, and practically every expert
picking them to lose, the Badgers not
only held Chicago to tied score, but
outplayed the conference champions
in every department of the game.
In generalship, punting, forward
passing, line bucking and gameness,
Juneau's cohorts had the edge.
