  WILDCAT GRIDMEN DOWN MARQUETTE Numerous Penalties Fail to Keep Northwestern From Scor- ing 21–⁠12 Win. Special Dispatch to The Star. ~ VANSTON, ILL.,, September 29. ~ Firing forward passes with almost the same deadly pre- cision that Dizzy Dean hurls base balls past the Cardinal enemies, George Potter carried Northwestern to a 21-to-12 triumph over Marquette in the Wildcat foot ball inaugural today. The Wildcats, nervous and offside SO often that they lost 80 yards through penalties. looked just like another foot ball team except for the deadly throwing arm of the 6-foot senior. All through the battle. which found the Wildcats leading from start to finish, it was Potter and more Potter. His passes opened the gate for the first two Wildcat touchdowns and, late in the final period, when the Hill toppers threatened to 60 ahead, it was Potter who intercepted a pass that soon was converted into the final Northwestern score.
