Oct. 14.-Wisconsin scored thirty-eight points on the eleven from Northwestern university in halves OF 20 minutes each, on Randall field. this afternoon. and kept Northwestern from scoring. The high score. however. was made possible by the punting of Capt. ODea and the pretty work Of the Wis consln ends. Twice the Wisconsin kick er sent the ball for sixty yards, while on every punt two or three Of the Badgers were ready to down their man when the ball descended WlSconsins work in the line was decidedly ragged. and but for poor Judgment on the part of the Northwestern in at tempting to score on a kick when line plays We’re advancing the ball steadily, the Badgers would probably have had the first touchdown of the season mark ed against them. O’Dea made two goals from the field once from the twenty-yard line and once from the twenty-five-Yard line. North western made use of the old Pennsylvania tandem play on tackle with goor effect. Wisconsin being apparently IN able to solve it. Peele, for Wisconsin, did some remark able line bucking. He carried the ball nearly 20O yards during the game. seldom falling to make his distance, and scored all of Wisconsin’s five. touchdowns. Capt. Little. of Northwestern. did splendid work in the line. bucking frequently through Wisconsin’s line for ten and IF teen-yard gains.
