Marshall Hurt in Chicago.

The foot ball game in Chicago Thursday, between Wisconsin and Chicago universities, resulted in a victory for Wisconsin by a score of 35 to 0. The Times-Herald gives pictures of four of Wisconsin’s players, under the heading, “Four bright particular stars of the Badgers’ gallaxy of foot ball heroes.!’ One of the four is Albert Marshall, of Rensselaer, who played quarter back all of the first half and part of the second, until he reoeived his first severe injury in all his years of foot ball playing. The following is the Times-Her-ald’s special references to him. “Two streaks of red surmounted by a figure in moleskins with a leather helmet skirted the flanks of a flying army of feet, muscle and energy on Marshall field, dodging here and there, passing presumably impassible human barriers as he zigzagged his way across a field ribbed with lines of white and covered with saw-dust... .as he delivered the coveted pigskin into the keeping of the master man of his team... .Then there was Marshall the little quarter back who distinguished himself until he was tackled by a big man with maroon colored stockings, who loomed up in his way, and when both fell Marshall picked himself up to find a collar bone broken, and a physioian in attendance did not know any more about his business than to force him out of the game. That made Marshall mad.” His accident was a great disappointment here, as he intended to play in the game with the South Bend giants on 1 Monday, and his help was oounted on as a great factor in Rensselaer’s favor.
