Bannard Disappointed at the Showing of Northwestern. Coach Stagg after the game said: I am well pleased with the game, and the work of the team shows a remarkable improvement over that of last Saturday. 1 was particularly surprised by the large score, but do not think it shows in any way the real strength of the two teams. Northwestern evidently got discouraged towards the last and became disheartened. The team played as 1 told them to.

and every one of the men got into the game harder than usual. They realized the importance of the game and played with spirit. I had several of the men taken out after the fame teemed to be ours, and of course saved them for the game next Saturday. Bannard had his team in good shape, but they became discouraged." 1 am somewhat disappointed, for although I did not expect to with, 1 thought the tm had almost an equal chance," said Coach Bannard. Chicago' showed up unexpectedly strong, far stronger than I expected, and if they lay as against Pennsylvania as they did against us they wiil give Peiinsy a hard rub.

When the Chicago team started to play there were eleven men in n. Kven when Northwestern hod the ball it was Chicago that did the charging. The team was listless, I do it know why. We played no tricks; I did not train them In any. It is useless to try when the men are not up on the simple rudiments.

Thev will be a different team in u. fewi week" Captain Thcrhe said: "They were too much for us. They played a better game all around. I am disappointed, of course, but the team did its best and fought hard. They were too strong in the line and their backs put up a magnificent game.

He fumbled, but regained the ball on the eight-yard line. Again ha kicked to Herschberger, who gained twelve yards by on of his characteristic runs. Herschberger came around, found a Lie hole through the Hue, the playing apparently being aimed at end.

and netted seven yards. The ball was again opposite thegoal poets, but on the kick Northwestern was offside, and Chicago gut the ten Instead. They tried another hick and failed, and on the touchback Perry punted from the twenty-five-yard line out of bounds. On the second punt Perry kicked forty yards to Herschberger. who came back eight yards, and Clarke.

Hamill. and Mortimer ui-cefsively tried to grain, and Herschberger kicked over the goal line. Perry kicked off from the twenty-five yard line to Herschberger, who made a small gain. Then Hamill swung about around the opposite end for a thirty yard run, followed by Henry around the other end for live yards, the ball being on the ten yard line. Slaker tKk It five yards further and Mortimer followed up a little further.

On the next two rushes Slaker was shoved over by mass plays on tackle for the first touchdown. Clarke caught the punt-out and Herschberger failed op the try, but Northwestern was off side and on another trial he made the goal. Chicago, 11; Northwestern, 0. Twenty-nine minutes of actual play had elapsed. PTry kicked off to Herschberger at the goal line.

The Chicago full back punted. The ball struck Clarke in the back and Rogers grabbed It on the twenty-five yard line. The oval was brought back and changed ha mis because of a foul. It was on Chicago's fifteen yard line. Hf-rschberger punted to Johnson ami U.

O. Delta made six yards on a double pass. Time was called on the thirty-three yard line of Chicago, with ball in North-western's possession. The playing of the first half had been confined to Northwestern territory most of the time and it looked as if Northwestern would not be able to score. The next half both teams played a better game, esieeiaily Northwestern.

During this half Chicago believed It would be the game to steal the ball when a man had It in the bottom of a heap of players. It was an interesting game, although one-sided, and there is not the slightest question that the better team earned a victory. Work of the Individuals. Aside from the spectacular features of the game the comparative playing of the individual men was particularly interesting- The Chicago team, every one of them, seemed to play the best game they were capable of, and to single any one from the eleven would be a hard matter. Of course Kennedy, Herschbr rger, Slaker, and Hamill were the stars of the Chicago side, and they especially distinguished themselves.

Kennedy's Judgment during the critical parts of the game was excellent. He never failed to take advantage of circumstance? and saved his team much work by having miversity of Chicago football players Ton exhibition yesterday afternoon at vrhall Field, and the Northwestern eleven ti the medium of showing their prowess. AVatched and "Wisconsin, among the the maroons played their best Milwaukee, Oct. 22. Special.

Pat O'Dea's leg and Pat's head won for Wisconsin gaint the Belolt eleven this afternoon, 17 to 0. While O'Dea must be given the credit for the game, there Is no doubt but that the hard work which the Beloit team did against Northwestern and Chicago counted against it and that It was rather stale. Jn the first half Belolt showed up strong and held Wisconsin back with comparative ease. It, however, was slow in its play and did not make the best of the opportunities of the game which Wisconsin gave. Wisconsin, on the other hand, played a snappy game, but the team is weak on the ends, and 1 nnil rVorL hf1! mi iiu estern.

He played well on the defense and strengthened his team by playing well behind the line, where he was most needed. His tackling was good and by his acquaintance with the finer points of the game he saved Chicago often by clever judgment. Slaker did remarkable work much better than Gardiner used to do lat year.

His headlong plunges into the line and his effective work at breaking up the interference was the best seen on the field this yeah.

and the first' time Chicago has been scored on. Knowing that critics of all its strongest opponents were present yesterday, the maroons were spurred on to their best efforts, and never has a Chicago football team played a cleaner, faster game of football than did Mr. Stage's pupils. Hisses of foul play mingled with the cheers for good playing on Marshall Field while Chicago was giving Northwestern Us drubbing, IHsses drowned out the' cheers because of the efforts of some of the Northwestern players to disable Herschberger. mors disgraceful scenes were ever enacted on a Chicago gridiron than those In the first half.

A story was circulated among the North Clarke has a bad fault of backing no into the There were 6,00 people present at the game, which was started off by Beloit winning the toss and choosing the west end of the field, with the wind blowing against isconsin. Dea kicked off, but the tall, going out of bounds, was given to Belolt. Merrill made a tree kick. The ball was caught by Curtis, who made a gain of ten yards. Larson went around Beloit's left end for twelve yards, Wisconsin bucked the center, and after two downs Holmes went yards through tackle, but the next two plays lauea to make the necessary gain, the ball going over iu the center of the field.

Henry managed to get four yards nearer the Northwestern goal, slaker plunged through the line and was swung around left nd. and before he stopped had made the big-Best line play of the day, going a full thirty-two yards before he was brought down. Hamill made three yards on an end play and Slaker followed again for a first down. Then Hamill made another vlav for five, and Northwestern held. Then Henry tumbled the ball and Northwestern got it.

Perry kicked to Herschberger. who returned the ballten yards by dodging along the side lines. Then Slaker made a yard at left tackle, forcing the ball out of bounds. When the ball had been brought In Clarke missed his play and failed to gain. Herschbergt-r again tried for goal from field and a touchback resulted.

Slaker muffed the klckon from the twenty-flve-yard line, but made four yards before he was tackled. A peculiar play was then tried. It was the doable pass, tackle to quarter, which Illinois used so successfully last year. Kennedy carried the ball and the trick worked beautifully, the big quarterback making a forty-yard gain to the eight-yard line. Northwestern, fearing another touchdown, held well for a down, but Chicago managed to advance to the line of scrimmage, and falls to make his gain.

He did not show up much yesterday, but be got iuto the interference in good shape. The score board which was put up on Marshall Field! last week was not workedi yesterday, an? at that it was In a poor position, for the board cannot be seen from all the side lines. Referee Hayner prevented much trickery in the game. He got into the scrimmage and fell on the ball, or dived Into the scrimmage and prevented it from going forward after the whistle had been blown. Allen surprised every one.

and even himself, by the bold and spirited manner with which he entered the game. He fairly tore down the field on the klckoffa. and simply tore through the purple team. He added a pretty goal to bis credit. The usual number of small boys were up In ths trees, and climbed the telegraph poles.

The houses around the field resembled the scenes around the old Manhattan fleld'in New York when Yale and Harvard bad their struggles in days gone by. The ran was a remarkable one from all points. There were more than the ordinary number of the smallest sort of an opening and make a first down. Stagg evidently was right when he called him the find of the year, and Slaker well deserves all the praise which has been given him. Hamill also got into the game In his real old-time form and gladdened the hearts of the rooters by his runs and his getting down the held after the ball.

He and Henry did great work in that department. Ham-ill's two touchdowns, both of which were made after a seeming stop, were the bright spots in his playing, and he had only one mistake against him, and that was letting Johnson escape for his run. His shoulder seemed to hurt him from time to time, and he played carefully. Herschberger's playing was the same as usual, and he seemed to be the life of the team. He certainly saved the.

men considerable work, and while he did not do well on his place kicks, as is his custom, he made up for It by his punts, which were the longest seen this season, and every one of them was well placed. Speed was not outdone at center by Little. He had a well-behaved opponent, who did not worry him much. It wa9 fortunate for him that the Northwestern team did not play much at him, but turned their efforts over for five yards. Wisconsin lost the ball on downs.

Merrill went through Wisconsin's center for three yards and made a long punt, O'Dea catching It and returning It to Chllds, who made a fifteen-yard gain for Beloit. After two downs Merrill punted again for twenty-five yards. O'Dea punted back twenty-five yards and Merrill punted the ball out of bounds. It was Wisconsin's ball on the twenty-five yard line. O'Dea dropped iMSMisasesasasasssisisasisssssisiscsisaMsssiMsssaMsasassi ss INMHMNIMNHMHIHNHHmiHHNHNHMHHI 5 to the tackles instead.

He played a conscientious game and obeyed Stagg's Instructions to the letter. Rogers and Burnett easily outdid both Thomas and Dietz. Thorne had somewhat of a tussle with Burnett, but there was not any of the getting through and stopping of the kicks Buch as had been expected. Rogers' Aid to Slaker. Rogers opened up holes at ail time fir western contingent coming" down on the train that a box of cigars had been offered for the player who first succeeded in putting Herschberger out of the game.

This story 6eemed incredible, but it was repeated over and over again and authority quoted for It. Even Northwestern men agreed it was true, and the conduct of the purple team at the Start of the game seemed to lend color to the story. Try to Disable Herschberger. Several times in the early part of the game one long hiss greeted the visitors when by some dirty playing Herschberger was laid out. The plucky half back, himself, after1 he had retired from the game, victory being safe and Stagg not desiring to take chances on having him Injured before the Pennsylvania game next Saturday, said he had been kicked on two or three occasions while he was down.

Had he not been a player of remarkably even temper there would have been a fight on the field, and no one would have blamed Herschberger for it. However, In justice to Northwestern, it must be said that it Is usual when Herschberger Is hurt for the crowd to cry foul," whether there was a foul committed or not; tiut yesterday there was every reason for the demonstration by the spectators, and many Northwestern men felt ashamed of their team's unfairness. Umpire Ralph Hoagland was deterred from disqualifying the offending players only by his Inability to distinguish who was guilty, their headgear rendering Identification difficult In the mixup. After the demonstration by the crowd and repeated warnings by the umpire Northwestern gave up Its iirty tactics and played hard. A row almost ensued at the end of the game when Northwestern tried to get away with the ball, but Chicago saved it after a scrimmage.

Of the 5,000 people who gathered at the Bouth Side gridiron to watch the contest, few went away entirely satisfied. Northwestern even to the most sanguine Chicago rooter was a distinct disappointment, for, although Chicago expected and hoped to win, it wanted an opponent which would at least try its mettle. In many respects It was a peculiar game. Store knotty points for the officials to settle rame up than Is usual. Northwestern's Ignorance of the science of the game was at times ludicrous, especially when it allowed Chicago to keep trying for goals after touchdowns by being off side until it made them.

The soldiers who Oil the most good, were those who kept well. There were plenty of brave men who were of little 'use when the time came, because they took less care of their health than titer aid of their musket. Malaria and other fevers soon picked out these men much more unerringly than the enemy's sharpshooters. One Bet of men -rent about keeping well In a businesslike way. They took Paine's celery compound at the first Indications of intestinal troubles, weakness, or when fatigued and liable to fevers.

They used Paine's celery compound to purify thetr blood and put their health on a firm basis as soon as they made up their minds to Join the service. Corporal Beckwith thinks there was a great deal of needless sickness among: the volunteers. At Cnickamauga many of his mess mates followed his example and fortified themselves against disease by Paine's celery compound, and not a man of them had malaria or fever of any sort In the hospital. Corporal Beckwith writes: Camp Olympia, Sept. 17.

1S08. Dear Sirs When I see so many of my poor comrades coming- home looking fit only for a hospital cot I give thanks to Paino's celery compound for the fact that I went through my enlistment without any doctor's medi Paine's celery compound last winter and spring, which made my blood pore and nerves strong to resist malaria and keep well. Very truly yours, CORPORAL JAMES O. BECKTTITH. Co.

First Vt. Volunteer Infantry. Secretary of War Stanton used to say thai the best definition of rest is a change of occupation. That may be true for one In health, but a sick person needs to have his digestion regulated, his blood purified and his nerves invigorated. Paine's celery compound brings the sort of rest the sick body requires through sleep and nourishment.

Just as the great lawyer studies each one of his cases till he knows It on every sivle and in every possible aspect, so Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. LL. of Dartmouth College, the dtscoverer of Paine's celery compound, had studied the nerves in health and disease, when well nourished and when under-nourished. In men and women and children, years before he looked for the remedy.

Paine's celery compound was the outcome of his entire professional life. A fitting memorial to a life of hard study and close observation a remedy that the world could not lose today, at any price! Paine's celery compound calms and equalizes all the nervous tissues and Induces the body to take on solid flesh. It purities the blood, as is so clearly shown by the rapid clearing of the skin of all evidences of bad humors within. It is an Infallible relief for salt rheum, eczema and all blood diseases. Slaker.

and he had no trouble with Dietz, who while he tried had never forced Rogers to his utmost. The trouble with the purple's men in the center was that they did not get as low as their tackles did and never charged! as they Chicago had nothing to fear. Neither Rogers nor Burnett was given the ball. The tackles of both teams had their hands full and it was here that the hard playing of the game came. It was almost an even tussle with Mortimer and G.

O. Dietz, and these two had the fun of the game. They were both played hard and had their faults as well. Mortimer was caught off his guard more than once by the swinging play of Bothne and Perry, but he held his own. Webb and McClusky were about evenly matched.

Their weights wefe almost even and they played almost even. Webb having the better of the argument. Bannard had of course put McClusky into the best sort of shape, but Webb never let him get through, and it was only the fierce plunges of Libberton at times that forced an opening. Webb and Mortimer both did well with the ball and made good gains for their eide. Webb's best play was his hitting the line low and making a biff gain of over ten yards in the last half.

Henry, notwithstanding the fact that he has been out of the game for more than two weeks with an injured hand, got Into the game fiercely at end. He defended well and he made his gains when he took the ball. He ran races with Hamill in getting down the field after the ball andt was at his ease with the little Johnson and had no difficulty in getting around him. He cut In several times and tackled the man with the ball. Seibert failed to show up to hl3 form of the lat few years and he seems to have lost his prowess.

He has played better games than he did yesterday and the purple rooters were disappointed at his showing. Northwestern's halves were an even-looking lot. and, while they played under odds, they were outplayed In more than one respect. Perry did splendid work In punting and got the ball away fast. He was noticeable for some of the mean work of the day and he made a number of runs which were cine, and am today even healthier than' when I went to Cnickamauga.

I firmly believe that this good health is due to mr uslntr and Beloit got the ball on Wisconsin's forty- yard line, A. Bunge made a gain of twenty five yards and it was Wisconsin's ball on a fumble by Allen. Jolliffe went around the end with three yards and time was called Crowd Gathers Early. The game was called for 2:20, but by 1 o'clock the people began coming. The tall tleachsrs which have been erected on the west side of the grounds were a desirable position for viewing the game.

Banked up in these new bleachers were the noisy rooters of each team, equally divided, the maroons occupying the north half and the purple the south half, a rail being placed between the two contingents. The purple ehone bright on the south side, while the duller tones of the maroon could bo distinguished when a run or score moved the north eide into activity. Purple monopolized the grand stand, for the maroon rooters were too enthusiastic to sit down anywhere.

On the east side were the coaches of the fraternities, and with cowbells, and the inevitable tin horns, they contributed to the general din, which was much the same as heard at all big college contests. Although the game was one-sided in the extreme, it was not uninteresting at any stage. Long runs, fierce line plunges, and strange, weird plays kejt the crowd on tiptoe through It alL Perhaps the prettiest feature of the contest was Johnson's run, which saved Northwestern from a shutout. Hamill and Kennedy, and, of course, Herschberger, by their fine runs, kept up the excitement. A larger representation of rival colleges has never been accorded the privileges of being inside the ropes.

One of them had come purposely to take notes, for the anxiety of the Quakers is growing, and what they expected to be an easy game next Saturday is looming up before them as a dan-Bercus possibility.

Chicago's Line Battering. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the day "was the close formation and constant line battering which Chicago used in the first half. From the start they hammered away persistently at the purple line and it weakened. Chicago found the ends of Northwestern better than any they have met so far except Belolt's.
