19.-Coach Stages hard-driving Chi
cago foot ball team outfought and out
smarted Wisconsin this afternoon,
downing the Badgers, II to 0, before
approximately $1,000 shivering spec
tators.
The game was battle of breaks
and was played for the most part
amidst light snow fall, which made
passing, punting and catching difficult.
The Maroons, however. took advan-
tage of this condition, converting
Badger errors into touchdowns.
Today'S victory gave the Maroons
the edge of one game in the 81 years
of rivalry between the two schools.
The defeat pushed Coach Glenn
Thistlewaite's Cardinal eleven into the
conference cellar with Iowa.
Chicagos defense against the Wis
consin overhead game was especially
tight. The Badgers tried 13 passes.
10 of which were incomplete and }
were intercepted.
Chicago was put in position to score
its first touchdown as result of a
bad pass from Shoemaker, Wisconsin
center, the ball rolling to the Wiscon-
sin 30-yard line, where the Maroons
recovered and subsequently tailed.
The second Maroon touchdown was
put across near the end of the game.
Two penalties for illegal interference
and offside placed the ball on the 2
yard stripe, from where Raysson car
ried it over. Anderson failed to kick
| both goals.
