MADISON, Wis. Oct. 13.-When
Capt Phalens place kick from the
Al yard line struck the upright Of
the Wisconsin goal posts two feet
above the cross bar today's game
was destined to end a scoreless tie
There was but three minutes left TO
play. Wisconsin punted from the 20
yard line TO midfeld, Capt. Phalen
imne ediately tried another place
ment but the distance was so great
that it was bound TO fail It was the
last piece of generalship Of the Notre
Dame captain before the final
whistle.
Outweighed by Wisconsin.
Notre Dame was outweighed ten
pounds 10 the man. Wisconsin was
Outplayed, at least outrushed and
outkicked and apparently outgamed.
Wisconsin entered the game top
heavy favorites, but they failed TO
show superiority over Notre Dame
in any department with the possible
exception of forward passing. BY
this method they gained more than
Notre Dame.
Notre Dame started with a grand
rush at the opening kickoff. Bahan
brought the kickoff back 40 yards
and his partner, Brandy. Immediate
ly ripped off Is more after an ex-
change Of punts and a series Of
plays that gained nothing for either
side. Notre Dame braced and car
ried the ball 10 the five yard line and
there was foiled when Wisconsin
mussed up a forward pass across the
goal. That was the nearest Notre
Dame got to a score until the kick
off Capt. Phalen made In the dying
moments OF the game.
y. ID. Bacl1ficld Plays Great.
The midget backfeld of Notre
Dame was the feature of the game.
Too great credit cannot be given to
Brandy. Bahan and Walter Miller
for the great showing OF Notre
Dame. They plunged, raced around
the ends and played a wonderful
secondary defense game. Jim Phalen
Notre Dame was left punterless by
the incapacity Of Decree, the Notre
Dame captain jumped into the
breach and not only held his own
with the much touted Simpson,
but according TO judges actually
outkicked him. With Decree in the
battle however, the game most GER
tainly would have ended in favor OF
Notre Dame. Phalen was the steady
cool. clever general Of old, supply
ing the needed morale for the green
men about him and choosing his
plays with remarkable effectiveness.
"Big Frank Tackled Many.
big Frank" Rydzewski was a
tour Of strength in the center of the
line. Wisconsin men, under orders
from Coach Richards, were pitted
against him, but he probably made
mora tackles during the afternoon
than any one Notre Dame man. He
all but duplicated his feat OF a year
ago at Lansing by intercepting a
Wisconsin forward pass and making
.25 yards toward the Badger goal
before being downed. Dave Philbin
and Bodie Andrews were not far be-
hind the center in demoralizing Wis
consin smashes. Madigan playing
his first game at guard, supported
the above trio admirably.
King and Hayes probably supplied
the punch that kept Wisconsin from
scoring. They made every inch Of
Phaleu's punts count. Four field
goals attempted by Wisconsin fail
ed. Davey, Simpson, jacob and
Capt. Hancock played best for Wis
consin.
