  MICHIGAN WINS BIG CAME Beats Wisconsin Team by Score Of Six Points to Nothing. ALL SCORING IS IN THE FIRST HALF sides Evenly Matched and Both Fight Hard, Encouraged by shouts of Thousands OF Rooters in Grandstands. CHICAGO, Nov. before a crowd so densely packed that it was found necessary 20 close the gates OF Marshall field, the battle for foot ball supremacy between Michigan and Wisconsin was fought out today and Michigan won, s to o. II has been years since such a crowd has been attracted to a foot ball game in the west, and the inadequancy Of the accommodations Of Marshall field for such a crowd, estimated at 22,OOO, resulted in an accident in which several persons were hurt. AT the northeast corner Of the grounds one OF the temporary grand stands. hastily erected to accommodate 400 people, crowded beyond it’s capacity. fell with a crash. Mr.. Bartelme, Immediately gave or ders that no more tickets should be sold. Those who already had tickets we’re admltted. One man who was turned away was heard to offer 500, but the fortunate possessor refused. Wisconsin was represented by about 1000 “rooters’ and Michigan by about the same number. Mlchigan’s scoring was done in the frst eight minutes Of the game. Wisconsin was simply overwhelmed for the lnst few minutes by Michigan’s terrific line bucking. 1t was only a brief loss of head but IL cost the game. For the rest Of the game the Badgers showed themselves nearly, II not entirely, Michigan’s equals. but either fumbles or a sharp stifening in the OPP posing line would force them to punt. Michigan fumbled only once. Nothing could show better the fighting spirit Of the Badgers than the stand they took after Michigan’s touchdown. The Wolverines, after the kick of, Immediately attempted to carry the Wisconsin players ~ aA.4- N.,N n.nNn The NaAlaan have were forced to their vineyard line, but their line held. The remainder OF the game was played chiefly in wisconsin’s territory, but never again we’re the Badgers so colsely pressed. Wisconsin forced Michigan to punt re- ~peatedly during the second half. Michigan won on merit, according to many impartial critics, but the grain Of superiority the team displayed over Wis consin was SO small that the Badger ‘rooters” will have “ifs’ enough to keep them talking for many a day.

Sweeley kicked goal. Score: Michigan, 6; Wisconsin, 0. II was the fastest kind of ball. Michigan’s defense, over which Yost is said to have sighed, seemed very stin. Their Of Tense was terrific and called a woeful chorus of “kolds’ from the Badgers stand. On the twenty-ive-yard line both teams rested pending the recovery OF an injured player. Palmer went through for hve yards. Heston captured three yards. Palmer took four more. Wisconsin was being pushed steadily back and the bail was soon in the center OF the field again.

  22.OOO PEOPLE SAW CAME AT CHICAGO Michigan Defeats Wisconsin By Score of to 0 In One of Prettiset Games of Season--Grand Stand Fell. Chicago, Ills, November 1.-Before a crowd so densely packed that it was found necessary to close the gates of Marshall field. the battle for football su- premacy between Michigan and Wiscon- sin was fought out today, and the game resulted Michigan, 6; Wisconsin, 0. The contest was regarded as deciding the western champonship for this sea- sol. The inadequacy of the accommo- dations of Marshall field for such a crowd-the attendance is estimated at several people were hurt. At the north- east corner of the grounds one of the temporary grand stands, hastily erected to accommodate 400 people, crowded be- yond it’s capacity, fell with a crash. Manager Bartelme, who made arrange ments for the game, immediately gave orders that no more tickets should be sold. It is said that thousands were turned away. One man offered $20 for a ticket but was unable to obtain 1t. Michigan’s touchdown was made in the first eight minutes of the game, when they seemed to take Wisconsin by sur prise, bucking the line wikh terrific force. These rushes, together with long gains by Jones and Palmer, carried the ball to Wisconsin’s 3-yard line, when Maddocks was forced over for a touchdown. Weeks kicked an easy goal. For the rest of the game the Badgers showed themselves nearly, if not entirely, Michigan’s equal, but either fumbles or sharp stiffening in the opposing line would force them to punt. Heston, Lawrence. Maddocks, Palmer, Jones’ Herrenstein and Graves were Michigan’s best ground-gainers, while Juneau, Driver, Vanderboom, Fogg and Haumerson played star parts in Wiscon- sins offensive work. Michigan won merit, according to many critics, but the grade of superior ity the team displayed over Wisconsin was very small.
