DROP KICK BEATS CHICAGOS

Toe of Quarter Otto Beiler Gives 1111(11 First Victory Cver Maroons In Nine Years. 7 Playing with grim determination and struggling against an Impregnable defense, Chicago went down to defeat the other day on Illinois field 3 to 0 in the first victory of the Orange and Blue eleven over the Maroon since 1901. Otto Seller, the doughty Illinois quarter, in making a beautiful drop kick from.the forty yard line in the first quarter was all that kept the game from resulting in a tie, although

Illinois outplayed and outgeneraled Chicago throughout one of the most bitterly fought struggles between these ancient rivals in recent yean. The wildest scenes occurred at thai call of time at ‘he end of the final, quarter. Revolvers were shot off and! the cannon roared. The playing field was one mass of wildly shouting persons who seemed unable to control theii* happiness. Everything that possibly could be done to celebrate vie-' tory was done and finished in a manner which seldom has been witnessed. Hats were torn, women’s hats were thrown in the ai{, stands broken, and what took place that night will be remembered for some time.

Otto Seiler.
