    repeated runs. Marsh at end and Horn and Scott In the back field starred for Ida Grove. WIN FROM LAWRENCE Quarterback MoII IL star Performer for Wisconsin. MADISON, Wis, oct. 9.-In a drizzling rain the University Of Wisconsin foot ball team easily defeated Lawrence (Wis) uni versity, q to o, at Camp Randall today. “Krekie” Moll, the Wisconsin quarterback, the star performer. During the first sixteen minutes OF play, with Anderson passing the ball for wisconsin, no score was made. Anderson was replaced by Mol, who has been suffering from rheumatism. Moll Immediately uncorked a bewildering array Of forward passes, end runs and line plunges. Wilce made the first touchdown after a series Of end runs and plunges through the Law renee line. A few minutes later Dean went over for the second touchdown after a long forward punt from Moli. The third touchdown was made by wilce on a line buck, following a forward punt by Mol to Bunker, and the fourth was made on a similar play. Moll kicked two goals and missed two. Boyer tried three place kicks. all OF which failed. Lawrence never had a chance to score. The Wisconsin line shows up stronger this year than last, and its offense is faster and more effective.
