Before a crowd of 20,000 Michigan took tlie measure of Wisconsin, 0 to 0, in the most desperately contested game ever played in Chicago. Wisconsin put up the most beautiful uphill game that a team ever played, but it was no use. Michigan's giants, powerful in offense and sturdy iu defense, were in command all the way. With big Maddock and Palmer pulled back from tackle positions and the fleet backs, Heston and Hernstein, n score was made in six minutes, Wisconsin’s team being bowed down. Another touchdown was in sight when a fumble stopped Michigan. After that the great defense of the Badgers appeared, and although Michigan tried for place kicks in the second half, they could not score. It was the greatest and most bitterly fought contest ever waged on a western gridiron. It practically settles the western championship, as only Chicago and Minnesota are left to debate the point with Michigan and neither now seems to have a look in. Michigan won the toss and selected the north goal. The teams lined up for the kick-off at 2:40. Maddock made first down through Wisconsin’s right tackle and Johnson put the ball on Wisconsin’s ten yard line. Palmer gained six yards through Wisconsin's west side. On the next play Heston went over for a touchdown nft?r six minutes of play. Hernstein made a fair catch of Weeks’ punt out. Kweeley kicked goal. Score, 'Michigan 0, Wisconsin O. Time for the first half was call'd with the ball in Wisconsin’s possession on their own 15-yard line. At the opening of the second half Y'es-t sent Lawrence in as full in place of Jones. The game was called with the ball in Michigan’s possession on their own 50yard line. Final score, Michigan 0, Wisconsin 0.
