    ADELMAN WILDCAT STAR Little 158-Pounder Leads Team to 32–⁠13 Win Over Wisconsin. EVANSTON, ILL.,. November 16 CP.- Ollie Adelman, Milwaukee boy with swivel hips and perpetual motion legs, escaped from the Northwestern bench today to stage an unforgetable rum ming exhibition that gave the Wildcats 32-to-13 triumph over Wisconsin. Ollie, a little 158-pounder who was so slippery that he squirmed out of tacklers’ arms and left them sitting dumbfounded to the delight of 10000 spectators, rushed over three of the five Northwestern touchdowns with spectacular jaunts of ,65, “a and yards. His performance overshadowed the exceptional passing Of Lynn Jordan, who threw so accurately that he put the Wisconsin Badgers In the game after they had been hopelessly routed.
