  CHICAGO UNIVERSITY DEFEATED Western Football Championship Won by Michigan University. Western Football Championship Won by Michigan University. Chicago, Nov. 24.-The western foot ball championship goes to Michigan university. On a field that was simply perfect for fast football and before a crowd of fully 12000 the maroon of Chi cago university went down before the maize and blue of Michigan university to-day by a score of F to Il. Michi- gan’s score represents two touchdowns, goals being kicked in each instance. Chicago made one touchdown, goal and a goal from placement. Michigan’s line, in which big holes were torn by the Northwestern university last Sat | urday, was impregnable to-day. Every one of Chicago’s eleven points were made by Hershberger. He kicked a goal from placement on the forty-five- yard line and scored the touchdown and goal But his work was marred by the fact that he allowed himself to be drawn in on a mass play which resulted in the most spectacular feature of the game, sixty-five-yard run for a touchdown by Wideman. The work of the Michigan ends was beautiful. Chi cagos ends also did pretty work. Mich igan, with the exception of one or two double passes, relied almost altogether on straight football, line bucking and runs around the ends. Chicago used trick plays throughout. Touchdowns- For Michigan, Wideman 2; for Chicago, Hershberger. Goals kicked-Caley ?, Hershberger 1. Goal from leld-Hersh- berger 1.
