Score: "Wisconsin, Northwestern. 0. This one kick was enough to take the heart out of the team, especially one that went into the game with the presentiment of defeat hanging over It. Bothne kicked off to Holmes at the twenty-yard line and the tackle brought the ball back five yards. O'Dea started Wisconsin's play again by punting and sent the oval forty yards to Johnson.

Cochems downed the end on the spot. Bothne went between Holmes and Chamberlain for six yards. Johnson went around Cochems for two more and Bothne bowled over Mowerman for an additional three. But here Elliott fumbled and lost the ball. O'Dea Fails This Time.

O'Dea dropped back for a drop kick, but the ball went wide. Bothne punted to the center and Anderson came back ten yards, but Mowerman became overanxious and the ball was again in the possession of the purple. Bothne tried to punt, but Little made a wretched pass and Cochems pulled the fullback down for a ten-yard loss. The next time Bothne drove the ball forty yards. O'Dea heeled for a free catch, but Ryan tackled him and Wisconsin was given ten yards.

O'Dea tried for a goal, but the distance was too great, Bothne punted to the center of the field. Larson was given the ball, but dropped it and Sieberts fell on it. Then started a series of rushes that promised to sweep the Badgers off their feet. Bothne found the ends and tackles the weakest spots. Dietz was sent to try Curtis and made three yards.

Bothne made three more and Elliott four. The ball was now on the Madison twenty-yard line and the purple crowd was wild with enthusiasm, but Hanson was found guilty of holding and the ball went over. It was the last time that Northwestern was anywhere near scoring. Wisconsin's First Touchdown. O'Dea began his old work of punting and sent the ball fifty yards.

Johnson fumbled and then tried to pass the ball to Bothne, who fell on it. Bothne went back for a punt, but Larson blocked the ball, which went whirling back of the posts. Johnson and Cochems raced for it, but the Wisconsin man got there first and Wisconsin scored its first touchdown. O'Dea missed goal. Wisconsin, 10; Northwestern.

0. Bothne drove the ball to the ten-yard mark and out of bounds. O'Dea kicked fifty yards down the field. Bothne returned and the ball was In Wisconsin's possession on the forty-five yard line. The Badgers started to buck and twice they pushed the purple tackles back for gains of five yards.

Larson ripped the line for another five and then three more. O'Dea went back for a punt, but Ryan FEASTS AT OTHER rOLYft CARDINALS WIN WITH EASE. Sophomores Entice a Freshman from His Home and Attempt to Have Sport with Him One Sophomore Seriously Hurt. Cleveland, Nov. 24.

Special. An attempted hazing of an Adelbert freshman late Wednesday evening resulted disastrously to one of the would-be hazers. Harry Koblitz, who was one of the men who wished to make sport of the freshman, was stabbed by the victim and Is now confined to his bed with a deep gash In his back and a badly swollen resulting from a dislocated shoulder which he received In the melee. Koblitz is a sophomore and lives with his parents at 1030 Broadway. Wednesday night the sophomores decided to have some sport at the expense of one of the freshmen named Drehr.

He was enticed from his house, and while passing the corner of the house two of the sophomores sprang from their place of concealment and endeavored to grasp the legs of the freshman. The latter fought desperately with them and pulled a knife from his pocket. He slashed at Koblitz. who was one of his assailants, and buried the blade In his back. Koblitz cried that he was stabbed, and several of his companions rushed to his aid.

It was discovered that the knife had entered Koblltz's back near the right shoulder and had r.ar- IT Overwhelmed and defeated from the start tt the unequal contest, the purple banners went down In defeat before the host of the cardinal. At no time had Northwestern University team the slightest chance of winning Us footbail frame with the University of Wisconsin's team, which was allowed to roll up a scor of 47 to 0 with the nonchalance of a man going to his Thanksgiving dinner. The crowd of 2.U00 spectators seemed to realize the impending defeat of the Evans-ton team and it forgot to cheer, although it was cold enough to arouse yelps from a. log. The east bleachers were crimson with the colors of the Madison school.

Time and again these colors would flutter in the air as O'Dea made some phenomenal kick, or Cochems would tear down the field for a long gain. Not once did the purple crowd have a chance to cheer, for its players were outclassed from the start. Northwestern has been falling back for everal seasons and this was Its best chance to regain the lost prestige, but prestige will have to go for another year. Wisconsin won because of superior playing, for such fast and hard football has seldom been seen on Sheppard Field. It was speed from the beginning and the way the teams started out promised much.

Quick as lightning they set die ball In play and quick as lightning O'Dea Savannah. Ga, Nov. 24. Special.) The three Illinois regiments here with the Seventh Army Corps spent a glorious Thanks, giving day, with the exception, perhaps, of the Second Illinois, which did not seem' to have quite enough to eat. There was some mismanagement in the.

provisions, so far as this regiment was concerned, and much regret was expressed on account of it. Th boys, however, managed to make out a fairly good dinner and there was no complaint. The Fourth Illinois perhaps fared better than any regiment in the city. It being on provost Its companycamps located in different parts of th city. The men Ai this regiment have become well acquaint-ed in the section of the city which they occuoy, and their neighbors, citizens of Savannah, tn every instance made good pro.

Vision for them. Two companies were fed at the King's Pausrhters tent in front of the courthouse, and private families on the street's around made ample provision for the men who were located near them. In to that the Woman's committee, which had in hand the matter of pro-vlding something for all the soldiers, took exceptionally good care of the Fourth Illinois men. and each of th-m had about four square meals durir.g the day. A.

A. PLAYERS STOPPING A DARTMOUTH RUSH. Northwestern had ten yards to make and Bothne kicked. O'Dea tried a drop kick for goal and sent the pigskin out of bounds at the fifteen yard line. Bothne punted back.

Twice Joliffe went through the tackle for quartet, with the exception of Ryan, who played the best all-around game of the day, man for man. Had the purple tried its guards more and its tackles less it might have scored, but its game was to draw one of the tackle to the opposing side of the line and then attempt to push through there for a gain. It was the best play the purple had and it was worked to death. jood gains, and the third time he shot around the right end, tossed off Johnson at.d Perry, and went flying down the field, but BQlhne brought him down before he could plant the ball behind the posts. On the next lineup he did so, going through Dietz SOCIETY ON SHEPPARD FIELD.

O'Dea seemed hoodooed, and he went wide of his mark this time. Wisconsin, 20; Northwestern, o. kicking of O'Dea contributed much towards the victory. The winning club also showed remarkable superiority over their opponents in handling punts. Captain C.

Captain Pat O'Dea of Wisconsin We are surprised at the score. The Evanston boys stuck well in the face of defeat and were game to the last.

11. Bannard, coach for Northwestern Northwestern played just as well aa one could expect a team to play which has not had sufficient practice work. The men have never been able to get together since the Michigan game. Perry and Thorne were in no condition to play. Phil King, coach for Wisconsin Northwestern played a plucky game in the face of overwhelming defeat.

Its players simply were outclassed. YOUNG MAN TO WHOM A RUN BROUGHT FAME. HE SCORED TWO TOUCHDOWNS FOR A. A. The next touchdown was made in' short order.

O'Dea's punting brought the ball within a few yards of the goal, and then the cardinal backs rushed it over. O'Dea again missed the goal. Wisconsin, 31; Northwestern, 0. Cardinal Scores Rapidly. Chaddock was put in the place of Elliott and his punting was an Improvement.

Ho Enthusiastic Women Watch the Game in Evanston from Private Boxes and Carriages. Society, muffled in furs and heavy wrap to protect shivering bodies from the full force of the biting cold wind, watched the contest of the college athletes on Sheppard Field and yelled itself into a frenzy of excitement over the more exciting features of the game between Wisconsin and Northwestern. Coaches and carriages of all descriptions were ranged around the gridiron, while the boxes and bleachers were crowded with enthusiastic men and equally enthusiastic women. drove the ball to the ten-yard line, and here Among the wearers of the cardinal who ANALYSIS OF EVANSTON GAME.

Jn the same party were the following, who proudly sported the purple of North Cochems and Larson fumbled, but Dea made up the loss by a forty-yard punt. Cochems fell on the ball. O'Dea again punted, this time to the five-yard line.

But here Northwestern braced and secured the ball. Machesney was put in the place of Bothne, and. by short, hard rushes, they pushed the ball to the center of the field, where Wisconsin got the ball on downs. Back it went with end runs and tackle spins until Larson was pushed over and O'Dea, for the first time, kicked a goal. Wisconsin, 37; Northwestern, 0.

It took but a few moments for the cardinal to score again. O'Dea sent the ball to the five-yard line, but Machesney's weak kick gave the ball to Wisconsin on the twenty-five-yard mark, and it took but three rushes for Jones to go over for a touchdown. O'Dea missed goal. Wisconsin, 42; Northwestern, 0. The routine was kept up, but when Wisconsin had the ball on the twenty-yard line O'Dea scored another goal from the field, making1 the score: Wisconsin, 47; Northwestern, 0.

Mr. T. H. Cruddup, Miss Carrie De Hart. In the boxes were: No one expected snch an overwhelming defeat for Northwestern, for on paper the two teams seemed evenly matched.

Yet there was not a moment that the result was in doubt and not a moment in which the superior form of Wisconsin was not manifest. Northwestern was completely outclassed and outclassed In those departments where it was throught the strongest. Every one figured that O'Dea would work havoc with the chances of the home team, but that he would do such phenomenal punting and drop-kicking as that which electrified the crowd was beyond the wildest dreams of his most ardent supporters. He dropped a goal from the Wisconsin fifty-yard line as if he were right under the Northwestern posts and he punted in a way that never had been seen before on a Western gridiron. Sixty-yard kicks came thick and fact, for O'Dea punted whenever he had a chance and he had them every few moments.

His punts were beautiful high twisters, that go up and up until they seem too high to be of any value and then sail down and land away up the field. Time and again he would fool the waiting backs and the ball would go far over their heads. The cardinal line was strong, but the center men were not able to do anything with their opponents. It was at the tackle and ends that the Wisconsin men aimed their most effective plays and they used a simple old-fashioned tackle spin to do the work. Curtis would slip around like a flash and seldom found that he lacked a hole.

The giant Holmes made his gains every time he tried. Still, the defensive work of these men was not up to expectation and Dietz and McClusky did not find it a hard task to make their distances there. It was at the ends that Wisconsin players showed up the best. They would swing the ends into the interference and push the purple men out of the way for good gains. Ryan was the only man that solved this formation and they let his end severely alone on all such plays.

The end runs were more bucks than runs and the men were formed in wedges. Twice Wisconsin was able to work the ball from the center of the field to the goal on these simple plays. It was the simplest style of football, rudimentary it might almost be termed. O'Dea was amply protected in every play and everything was done to further his miraculous punting. The Northwestern men never charged.

They were outplayed in this particular during the entire game and even when they had the ball Wisconsin would get the start of them every time. Their handling of punts was wretched. Wisconsin backs were speedy, by far the best in that respect that Northwestern has met this fall. They outclassed the purple Pox 1 Miss Jeannette Taylor, Miss Irene Graves. Miss Gertrude Llewellyn.

It is the last game O'Dea will play in the West and It was his best. bucked the line like a good fellow, he ran d.jwn the field like a deer, and he punted like a Herschberger. I -Even with Dea out of the game It Is doubtful If the Northwesterns could have won, for Wisconsin outplayed them at every stage of the game. The fleet little Cochems would rush down the field like an arrow shot from a bow. The fastest pair of backs that have played on Sheppard Field for many a day were Jolifis and Larson, and the way these two would rip up the Northwestern line was a wonder.

They found the ends easy and they used them as foils to show off their merit. The game was wonderfully clean, and not once was a m.in warned against slugging. The two teams realized that they were playing as friends, and when a purple warrior was lying on the ground often it was a Wisconsin man helped him up. The Madison crowd even cheered as only a Madl-firt crowd can cheer for the good plays of the vanquished team. It was a family affair from start to finish, but a bitter affair to the boys in purple.

Bruised in body and mind, they stood there fighting against odds that threatened to swamp them utterly, and when the whistle sounded they were glad to shake their heads and rub the dirt out of their eyes and hie themselves to the training quarters. With the exception cf the hardness of the ground the field was perfect. The firm footing played havoc with North western's chances and thu good right leg of Pat O'Dea finished up the work. It was one man against a team, and the one man won. Long punts would carry the ball right to North-western's goal and it took little else to push It over.

The game started as a kicking game and the last play was a kick. I Allegheny, Nov. 24. Miss Nora Bitner, a highly respected young woman, was beaten so badly this afternoon by three girls, none of whom are over 15 years of age, that she will probably die. Her assailants, Mamie Wright.

Sophia Mickle, and Victoria Bennet, are in jaiL The cause, of the assault is rather mysterious. It seems that Miss ETtner, with a. young woman companion, was walking along Kast Ohio street, and in passing a group of young girls at play she made some jocular remark concerning the party, wher-upon one of the youngsters grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground. While prostrate Miss Bitner was kicked on the head and beaten into insensibility. Her companion was unable to protect her and a rescue was only effected when th women came upon the scene.

Here the ball was given to Larson and he slippped through McClusky for a touchdown and O'Dea kicked the goal. Score: Wisconsin, 16; Northwestern, 0.

Bothne kicked to the fifteen-yard mark and Holmes tossed off Elliott, coming back fifteen yards. Wisconsin then went steadily down the field. The gains were small but sure, and It was not long before the ball was in the center of the gridiron. Here O'Dea attempted to make another of his drops, but the wind swept the ball to the left of the posts and the score was missed by five inches. Purple lane Braces.

Bothne drove to Holmes, but the tackle fumbled and was downed by McClusky. Joliffe went like a shot against Dietz. but the purple man threw him back. O'Dea again tried and failed to drop kick a goal. Johnson caught the ball on the 10-vard line and carried it back five yards before he was downed.

Bothne kicked to the center of the field. Here an offside play by Mowerman gave Northwestern the ball, but the purple could not gain, and Bothne again was forced to punt. O'Dea tried to return the punt, but Ryan blocked the kick. Little getting the ball. It was the same old story over again.

Two attempts to gain failed and Bothne punted. Dea seemed to improve every time he kicked and sent the ball back again for a oO-yard journey. Wisconsin soon got the ball. The backs were sent against the Northwestern line and each made his distance. The ball was getting closer and closer to the purple goal, when a fumble gave it back to Northwestern, and Bothne kicked out of danger.

General Blanco has announced his intention of leaving on Saturday or Monday next by the steamer Villa-verde. The members of the Colonial Cabinet today tendered their resignations to General Blanco, who accepted them, but requested the secretaries to continue the exercise of their functions until his successor shall have taken possession.

i The American Kvacuation commission will probably return north the 1st of December, their commissions having more perfect day could not have been chosen for a football game. The gridiron was In 'fine condition, while the wind that meant so much to O'Dea died down, and when Wisconsin won the toss and chose the north goal It aided him but little.
