tue Safety Three Taackileni tieal Hesreecat Wstlt Mueller but. pcial Dlppatch to The Inter 0on. MADISON, Nov. 16. Wisconsin today earned the right to dispute, and perhaps to claim as hor own, the Western football championship.

The vaunted team from Minnesota, confident and husky, was humbled by a score of 18 to 0, a safety, three touchdowns, and one goal being scored against it. Madison is in a blaze of glory, but most of Minnesota's J75.000 is going home, because the Badger enthusiasts didn't possess the confidence its team showed on the field. The great grandstands on Randall field were literal mountains of moving humanity today, 13.000 people finding seats within the inclosure. Clouds of cardinal and maroon and gold made the scene most picturesque. All kinds of ear-splitting devices.

Including whistles from a locomotive, situated on a side track behind the Badger rooters, served to make life yet more miserable for the impartial onlooker. But it was a crucial football contest, and anything was excusable. Before the game began Mueller, the Gopher guard, was formally barred from playing, and the Minnesota representatives were notified that Quarter Back Doble would be protested before the conference if played. Dobie played, and played miserably, and bis case yet to be decide. Mump (or the Ole.

Minnesota was played literally to a standstill. Her team slumped and did no; play its game. There is nothing that could be said in favor of the Gophers that could not be trebled in favor of Wisconsin. The latter's formidable line, flying back, field, and fast ends, and Driver's kicking, brought total demoralization to the overconfident visitors almost at the outset, and thereafter the first half became a rout such as Chicago showed against Illinois. In the second half the Got hers braced beautifully, and.

although outplayed, prevented further scoring. Minnesota's men won the toss and chose the west goal, the northwest wind being slightly in their favor. Driver kicked off for Wisconsin, and the ball dropid In Double's waiting arms on the twenty-yard line. He returned it ten yards before being downed by Abbott. On the play Minnesota started her heavy mass formation.

Flynn made a gain of one yard over Haumerson. but La Fans and Thorpe were held without a gain on the next play, and Minnesota was forced to kick. Cochems caught the ball, but La Fans downed him in his tracks. Larson took one yard out of the right side, and Cochems followed him with five yards around the left end. On the next play he made four yards.

The Gophers were unable to gain on a trick play, and Knowlton kicked to Cochems in the center of the field, who returned the ball ten yards. Wisconsin made her distance but once, and Driver kicked. Minne sota had the same luck, and returned It. A series of end runs by Cochems and Larson gave the Badgers forty-two yards, and the ball was within the five-yard line. The Min nesota line was like a stone wall, and Wis consin was held for downs on a beautiful rally within one foot of the goal.

The attendance was the largest of the season, while the struggle which the spectators wit nessed was one.

of ihe kind that retains lta interest until the end. Th final scene In the exhibition, however, was productive of much dissatisfaction to the purple adherents, who complained of the decisions of the umpire upon several occasions, and particularly when time was called five minutes before the end of the second balf. Northwestern, starting from the ten-yard line, began a series of mass plays and tandem bucks that landed the oval on Belolt's twenty-five yard line, when the score was 1 1 to 11 with five minutes of time to play. At this Juncture Umpire Bloomlngton declared the game over on account of darkness. Immediately a roar of protest went up from the side lines.

The crowd surged to the scene of the struggle, and during the tumult the umpire landed a blow upon the cheek of a press representative that staggered him. There was Intense excitement, both on the field and In the training quarters. The contest, during the first half and up to the closing incident, was one of the most Interesting that have been seen at Evanston for some time. Both Hollisters had prepared the team to meet the plays of the other, while the individual work of E.

The Methodists did not rely solely upon the tandem, using a more open formation during the first half. The tandem, however, was used for necessary gains several f.lroes.

Northwestern became aggressive, sending Davidson a G. O. Diets through the Badger line at a lively pace. Gains by E. Delta, Fleager, and Davidson landed the oval on Belolt's fifteen-yard lino, where the purple was held on the first down.

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 16. Yale and Trainer Mike Murphy were victorious over the Princeton tigers here this afternoon by a score of 12 to 0. The -blue 'varsity eleven carried the day, much to the surprise of the army of Jersey rooters who came to town confident that a triumph would be scored ever the local kickers.

Superior physical condition was the principal factor In Yale's success. The loss of the big freshman guard. Glass, was apparently not felt, for during the entire game, barring ten minutes before the battle ended, Princeton was outplayed. While it could not be said the tigers were In poor condition. In point of physique, they were unable to withstand the constant and merciless battering in which the Yale players Indulged from start to finish.

Before the first half ended. Dana, Princeton's stsr guard, was so completely used up that he had to leave the gridiron. In the second half the New Jersey eleven crumbled to plecee, and before the wind-up seven substitutes were taking part In the scrimmages. Including Gresbam Poe. the last representative of that illustrious football family.

There were no flukes, no mistakes, and ab solutely no roughing to speak of. there being but one penalty in ground allowed for offside play. In other words the game was re markably free from anything objectionable. It bristled with beautiful plays, snd the best of good feeling prevailed throughout. Yale employed the tackle-back formation quite frequently, but did not depend upon it nearly so much as was the case last- year.

Yale's attacks were directed a greater part of the time at the tackles, through which at times big gains were made. Around the ends little was made by the blue. But toward the the JJne. MADISON YESTERDAY. DOBIE.

On the other band, Princeton's attack amounted to so little that Dewltt was compelled, to pant frequently in the first half, during which time, however, Yale had the ball so constantly that Princeton's general style of attack was not clearly shown. But even la the second half when the tigers bad an opportunity to test Yale's defease they were unable to make appreciable gains until the Yale players began to tire under the long strain.

Msraea AI44 ky ramslti at Celt leal Pelata Battle la Vis- Iters' Territory. Special Dispatch to The later Oceaaxf ANN ARBOR, Nov: 16.Yost put the Chicago "whoa-back" and revolving mass on tackle plays out of business today as effectually as be did HolIIsters tandem and end runs.

He has been studying these two specialties of Stagg's during the past week, and he worked up an Impregnable defense against '-them. Heeton was used as a loose half and moved wherever the ball was directed. Only once did either of Sugg's favorite plans work. It was early In the first halt, and the revolving mass gained eight yards. After -that it failed utterly, and only three times during the entire game did Chicago make the necessary five yards.

The score was 22 to 0 In favor of Michigan, and It would have been more but for some glaring failures by Michigan. In the first half Michigan was simply walking goelward, by steady strides when a fumble on Chicago's twenty-yard line lost them possession of the ball. In the second half Michigan tore up Chicago's line by machine-like movements and rapid-fire plays, but another fumble on the five-yard line let the ball sUp into Chicago's hands. Again, In the second half. Just before the whistle was blown for the game to be ended.

Weeks signaled for Sweeley to make an end run. The slippery ground had demonstrated that end runs were not effective, and Sweeley lost a yard when the ball was under the shadow of the goal posts. On the next play Shorts-carried It to within two yards of the line and time was called. There Is little doubt' but that another score would have been added If Snow. Shorts, or White had been called upon Instead of Sweeley.

Please by MisUaa Sews. The Michigan rooters were' elated over the news that Wisconsin bad beaten Minnesota, as Michigan now stands out promi nently, as the only team in the country; which has not been scored npon. Takinz the Michigan and Chicago teams, man for man. there was not a position in which Stagg's pupils excelled Michigan. Yost's men simply tore the opposing line to pieces.

and Sweeley so far excelled Ellsworth as a punter that exchanges averaged twenty yards' gain for Michigan. If there was any one position in which Chicago approached Michigan it was In the playing of Spcik. who repeatedly broke up end- runs for no gains. Strauss played a fine game on de- fense. Michigan fumbled five times, but saved the pigskin in three instances.

But the encour-sglng feature was the tact that she was not off-side once during the game. However, Michigan was penalised once for supposed side-line coaching by Yost, when he- was shouting in to White to call attention to Chi cago having six men behind the line on a play. Only three times during the game did Chicago make her first down, and she was forced to punt eleven times. -Michigan was forced to punt only In three instances tbe quarter-back kick was essayed on three downs, but only once did It work. The spec tacular features of the gam were a beauti ful forty-five-yard run by Weeks, an eight een-yard run by Heston.

and Carrey's gain of fifteen yards on a fake kick. Chicago did not come near enough to Mich igan's goal to see It with a telescope. Except when. Michigan got the ball on pants, all the battle was fought in territory. If the field had not.
