MEN'S CAREER. IMlHMMIilifHlVlr SCORING IS DUE TO ERRORS i a. ft tw, fj r. nr I EXPERT STATEMENTS ON THE GAME Coach Stagg I was greatly disappointed with the game and especially disliked the fumbling which lost the game for us. This fumbling is easily accounted for in Henry's case, on acount of his lame hand, hut there is no excuse for the others and It was wretched.

Kenry and Place being crippled made the hacks weak and left Fell practically alone, and he received little support. Feil is going to make a good full hack. We have so many cripples that I do not see how I will be able to strengthen the team and am at a loss as to how to fix up the backs who are temporarily disabled." Coach Robinson: "Poor headwork was shown in running our team, and if we had had an experienced man running the team instead of a freshman we would have had four more touchdowns. It was a poor exhibition of football on both sides." Captain Epeed We were handicapped by two crippled hacks and a full back who had played the position three days. We fought the best we could under the circumstances." Captain Washburn It was simply a case of the better of two poor teams winning.

We were greatly behind our former work in our offensive, hut our defensive was up to our standard." Umpire Wrenn: "It was a slow game, the fumbling being responsible for most of it. Brown's punting in the first half against the wind was the feature of the game. Brown played a fair game, hut Chicago played an extremely poor game. One noticeable thing about it was the absence of rough playing and the infraction of the rules in offside plays." Referee Darby: It was a fierce game. Chicago's defense was poor.

Their signal work was also poor, as they missed signals frequently. In the first half there was no one to take the bail several times and great confusion arose. The punting was the best feature of the game." Timekeeper Knipe: I do not think Brown has much of a team. Chicago's cripples accounted for the poor showing the team made. It seemed to me that Brown used poor judgment." i its yttM Referee in Divorce Suit Recommends an Absolute Decree.

Bates, Brown University full back. Providence triumphed over Chicago at football yesterday on Marshall Field, and only providence prevented the defeat of Stagg's athletes from being turned into rout. The warriors from Brown, dogged in defense, stopped Chicago at almost every turn, held fast once when danger hreatened, and. although their attack was bad. managed to score 11 points, while the best the Midway men could do was to score 6 points on a fluke.

Chicago played the worst game, defensive and offensive, any team of Stagg's has played since the disastrous defeat at the hands of Northwestern in Brown was not much better In offensive work, lacking combined force, and had the men from Rhode Island: been strong in attack they might have scored at will. As it was. Pack came near giving Chicago a victory in sp.ite of fumbles, of panics in the line, and mistakes in sinnls. Five thousand came to the game, drawn by the prospect of a hard battle and th warm sunshine, which made the dry perfect for the spectators and bad for th" players. Over in the east bleachers, which were dotted with brilliant color, sat a great megaphone chorus and the Chicago band.

As Stagg's athletes practiced roars of applaus greeted them, while down on the other end of the field the Brunonians moved almost unnoticed, the cheers of their small chorus lost in the blare of the band and the croakirg of many megaphones. Fatal Fumble on First Play. Suddenly there was silence. nd Bafeg kicked from mfdfiehi an(3 rolled the ball but a few yards. Chicago had the ball on tha forty-three-yard line as a starter, but an instant later, on the first play, came a fumble and a great loss of ground then another fumble- and the ball went to the visitors A chill crept over the megaphone chorus and the cheer masters howled all unnoticed down ln front.

Brown started with a terrific rush nt Chicago's experimental left end. Three times the men from Providence hurtled agaln MeNab and Hoag and bowled them down. The ball went down the field amazingly. The spectators were stunned, and there wa panic in the Chicago team as Bates broke-through and crossed the line four minutes after the game began. Maroon stock dropped six points, and there was gloom when Chicago kicked off; but a few moments later Pettlt.

through a blunder in signals which fooled Brown as well as Chicago, escaped around Brown's right nd and ran forty-five yards, landing the ball within five yards of the tine. Then the maroon banners waved, the bands blared, and the megaphones blat-ted again, but Brown held and Chicago was thrown back. hnnw nine nnrti mncl-i nnnttwor fnllrtn-nA FOOTBALL RESULTS YESTERDAY WIN ON AN ALLOWANCE.

Cayou, the Indian half back of Illinois, was the man who came nearest to defeating Northwestern. In the second half Matthews had made a fair catch of one of Johnson's punts. He caught the ball on Northwestern's fifty-yard line, and Cayou tried for a goal from a place kick with Lundgren holding the ball. The ball was raised high above the goal posts, but passed a few inches to one side. It was the narrowest escape the purple eleven had, but another occurred just before the end of the half.

Mull was sent in to take Matthews' place, and with the ball on Northwestern's twenty-five-yard line essayed a drop kick. It was high above the goal posts, but was a little to one side, and Northwestern was saved again. The game put up by Lundgren and Pollard, the Illinois tackles, was fine. Although they failed at times to stop the purple tandem, yet as a rule they found no difficulty in piling up the play. Stahl and Lowenthal, left guard and center, were pillars of strength for their team, but While Stagg's men were their leaves over the Midway grounds there was where after a battle of fifty minutes with Illi nois, left Sheppard Field having held th BY A STAFF CORR PONDENT.

S-'ott D. Chandler as much cannot be said for Hanson. Kotngeo and Hall effectively prevented the end runs of Elliot and Johnson.

Lundgren made easy gains at times through O.

Neither Illinois nor Hollls-ter's team could score. The game was the hardest fought seen in Evansion this year, and although the style of play was not open, yet there was enough punting to make the game interesting the spectators.

The contest was aJnios-t devoid of sen-sa-tional features. Johnson made the longest run of the day. a twenty-five-yard dash just inside the side line after catching a forty-yatd punt which Matthews, 1 he i llinois quarter, had sent in a spiral down the field. Dieiitr, the Illinois right half, came next with an eighteen-yard sprint around North-western's right end to his credit. Klliot was given no opportunity to repeat his feats of last Saturday, and he had to be satisfied wit a fifteen-yard journey around Hail, the Illinois left end.

For five yards of this gain Klliot carried five Illinois men on his back, but he was not downed until the sheer weight of his burd.11 pressed him 1o earth. Both teams lacked variety in attack, while both showed strong in defense work. Had either possessed one good ground gainer that one would have won the game. Fllher team Is strong enough to show well with any Western eleven If il develops some strong system of attack. Good Crowd Sees Game.

The largest crowd seen on Sheppard Field this year turned out. Fully spectators tilled the bleachers and numerous traps and carriages were lined along the eastern side of the field. The Northwestern Band made its appearance, and before and between ttr3 halves its enlivening if not tuneful musle was heard. Illinois was the first team on the field, coming in at the carriage gate, and the entrance was hardly noticed. But when the Hot) rooters of the Iilinl had caught sight of their favorites the volume of their cheers made up for-the previous apparent lack of attention.

When the men started to practice every Northwestern supporter was surprised and "frightened by the snap shown by the team. FJu.cn player was off with the ball, and not one stopped until the ball was in the hands of the center again. All eyes were riveted upon Cayoti. the Indian player, who, it had reported, would circle the purple end at wi'l. Illinois' preliminary practice was slightly marred, however, by a few fumbles and mistakes In tip- signals, and the hopes of th purple's surd' 'i ters rose again.

Deitz, at right tackle, made tine gabis for the purple, but when Illinois had the ball his positi was the weakest of any on the purple eleven. C. K. Deitz and Shock foil down on their defensive work occasionally, but otherwise played in go ei form. Ward, at left guard, was the surprise of the day.

Time and neain he v. piur.ge through the Illinois eleven. Hanson played his usual nervy game. K'iiot was not in the te st of form, as be had renched his on Thursday night. He again showed his old fault of running back, and several times was downed with a iss.

Hunter at quarter did all that had been expected of him. Without training, without practice, he took hi place and captained the team in bis usual masterful style. All Northwest' rr. players seem to feel a con-tide nee in Hunter that has never been ilven any other player. Davidson at left half did not show up as well as usual.

His defensive work was good, but he did not seem Ti play a 3 iard a game as he Is of "si i whert in well-known demanded almost as much monev grounds as they received in New York sty if Bra Allowance. Net is s- 1 net" score of jf O. Crane- N- Tuttl 1 A Has, -n and spectacular runs marked the closing moments of the half. Once Place caught a kick and dashed twenty-five yards through Brown's defense, but dropped the ball when brought down, and Slooum. who grabbed th ball, ran fifty-five yards back before he bit the dirt.

Awful Football, hnt Kxrltlno-. It was awful football, but exciting. Brown seemed to know nothing of combined attack and Chicago could riot gain through th Providence line at all. And the half ended with Brown leading. There were no songs, no parades, no re joicing during the intermission and Professor Triggs.

who was thinking of putting Stagg next to John D. Rockefeller, reconsidered and went home. But suddenly, soon aftrr the second half commenced, the hopes of Chicago revived. On a kick Prown caught th ball down near the goal line. A Chlcagonn threw himself at the catcher and missed.

The crowd groaned as the Brurtonian started forward, but suddenly the ball slipped from his arms and one of Sugg's men hugged It to hta bosom. Then by a plunge at the line and an end run the ball crossed Brown't goal line and Henry kicked goal, evening up he score. The megaphones waked again and Stagg again got near the ball of fame, but. immediately after, there were sickening fumbles and Brown, profiting by these, commenced hammering away, and, by the weakness of the Chicago line, plunged on and on until the line was crossed. There was no more joy and the megaphones were stilied forever.

Through the rest of ths game Chicago played almost hopelessly, kicking in the despairing thought that perhaps another fluke would give them victory. Men dropped out frequently and fell wounded. Henry Has to Retire. Finally Henry, who bad been playing with a broken hand, was given the ball for a last try for a sensational run. He.

too, was hurt and retired. Both sides punted and punted and still the score remained unchanged, and finally the game ended, and not one cheer rewarded Stagg's troupe for their hopeless struggle against a better team. Probably no two teams which have been, accorded so high place ln the urinals of football ever played as poorly in an important game. If fumbles bad been touchdowns it would have been a cloe run for victory. Brown won not so much on berown merits as on the mistakes of her opponents.

Both the visitors' touchdowns were rnadi possible by Chb-ago's blunders, and neither required over thirty yards of straight football to make the line. Chicago's one touchdown was even more palpably th result eif a fluke, which landed the ball in the possession of the Maroons only five yards away from the Brown goal. This and one series of plays directly after were the only times Chicago made its distance by straightaway football. Pettlt's long run was of the exceptional kind, not included In fctraightaway calculations. One Good Feature of the Contest.

The one saving feature of the game was Brown's defense. This was impregnable, and played throughout, making-the damage resulting from the fumble of the backs less disastrous, for whenever Brown lost the ball through fumbles Fell was almost immediately compelled to punt, and. though losing ground by the process. Brown was soon able to regain it. Th fumbling of the visiting backs had no such xense as existed for tho similar mlsplays by Stagg's back men.

There was weakness In the maroon center, as well as on the left side of the line, and. though the fatal gains were made around that end. Speed's to protect Sheldon and the other backs made it necessary to hurry the play. This was more noticeable in the. punting.

Fell was compelled to drop back farther behiri the line after the first two or three punts, one of which was blocked. In spite of this handicap the maroon full back's work was one of the features of Chicago's game, and helped materially in keeping the score from mounting higher. He outpunted Bates and Slocum, who had their time on almost every Xunt- Pettit and At wood 0:1 the right side of the line were never out of the piay. Pettit in particular seemed to bo everywhere, especially on the defensive. He got.

down the field fast on punts, and frequently downed the ball close to where it was caught. Pet-tit's fault was bis tendency to rua bacS "'mug. thr to do busl- I'hall the cracker iiieks on a i.er- pin lis C. S. dt J.
