  AUBURN PASSES TIE WISCONSIN, 7 TO 7 Badgers Running Attack and Rain Fail to Conquer Stubborn Southern Invaders. RANDALL STADIUM, Madison, Wis, october 10.-A stubborn Auburn team held Wisconsin’s running attack and threw enough passes despite steady rain to hold the Badgers to a TT tie here today. The Southerners completed only three of IL passes, but two came in succession in Wisconsin territory and were sufficient to put them within scoring dis lance of the goal. The Badgers had been drilled against a pass of1ense, but their line failed to furnish the drive that was expected. Both teams scored in the third period. Joe Linfor, right halfback on the Bad ger eleven, took the kickoff at the start of the second half and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. Kabat kicked the extra point from placement. With the period nearly over, Auburn came back with an air attack and Hitchcock caught pass from Willis Phipps that was good for II yards. An other, Phipps to Porter Grand, end, put the ball on the 6-yard line Jimmie Hitchcock, right half, carried the ball over for the touchdown and tied the score with his kick.
