For Wisconsin Bellows was the main
stay. His accurate. long punts SO far
outdfstanced those Of Des Jarden and
Russell that the ball for most Of tho
game was on Chicago ground. Tho
loss Of Gray, whose twisted leg gave
way early In the game. weakened the
Maroon attack. though Russelrs dashes
and Floods line drives partially made
up Tor the absence OF Gray.
Straight foot ball predominated in
the attack on both sides. and though
at least dozen forward passes were
tired by both teams the opposing backs
ana ends wrecked nearly all. The ono
double pass attempted by Chicago
gained only a yard or two. Both Ma
rooms and Cardinals tried for field
goals in vain.

Cause of Quarantine-Ten Per

CHICAGO, October 31.-As a precau-

sheep from the stock yards here. ex-
cept for slaughtering purposes. was
prohibited by the bureau of animal in
dustry today. 1t affects those animals
which are sent here to be fed and fat
tened or for use on dairy farms
The quarantine is placed because OF
the prevalence of foot-and-mouth dis
ease in southern Michigan and north
ern Indiana. 1t affects only about 10
per cent of the receipts, according to
W. J. O'Connor. assistant general man
aEer of the stock yards company.
No Disease in Yards.
THE order affects only those cattle
which are sent here to be fattened be-
fore slaughter" said Mr.. O'Connor.
1T means that we cannot ship them
out to the feeding farms. Its only
effect will be Tor the time being to re-
duce this class of receipts. Growers
who want their animals fattened be-
fore selling to the packers will simply
hold them back until the ban is lifted
There has been none OF the disease at
