30. An errant toe, not one of their own but the property of the enemy, kept Wisconsin's Badgers in the role of victor this afternoon as they unveiled themselves for the 1939 season. Melted down by a forward passing touchdown barrage turned loose by Marquette's Hilltoppers in the last few minutes of play, the Badgers rallied long enough to hurry and thus render futile a kick which carried the tying point. The kick missed the target, leaving a final score of Wisconsin, 14; Marquette, The Badgers, seemingly unable to swing into serious action because of the doggedness of their foes, were denied the privilege of including any heroics in their season's inaugural. They scored early by taking to the air and soon thereafter were sent into a daze by the deed of a youth named Jim Richardson, who grabbed a punt and didn't stop until he had proved as important as the 3 points Peters kicked on this same field to whip Pittsburgh in 1935 and the field goal by Hofer that defeated Northwestern last fall, 9 to 7.

Illinois opened its football season at 2:30 p. m. today with mixed feelings of optimism and foreboding. By 4:45 o'clock the optimism had vanished and the foreboding had darkened into black pessimism. For Illinois, which left a satisfactory memory with 18,000 quite awakened the spirit of a lost quette fumble, the Badgers passed themselves back into the lead in the second period and there they remained, but always under pressure.

Murray Prevents Touchdown. Marquette, except for the Richardson dash and the aerial lightning touched off in desperation just before the close, had only one other real opportunity to score on the team it has whipped only twice in fourteen meetings. In the third period, when the two teams surprised 29,000 spectators with a series of plays which enabled them to confine the battling to a spot the size of dime for about ten minutes, the Hilltoppers finally got close enough to toss a touchdown pass, but the threat vanished when Center Jack Murray swarmed on the ball as it was sailing over the goal line. In registering first downs the Hilltoppers fashioned a slight edge of eight against seven. The Hilltoppers also did a bit better than their enemy in the air.

They threw sixteen and completed six. Wisconsin threw fourteen and hooked up on four of them. But the Badgers intercepted four tosses and lost none of their own era in Midway football on historic old Stagg Field yesterday with a gallant or tneir public by outplaying a big University of Nebraska team in a battle which ended in a hair raising 7 to 7 tie. place in the National league yesterday when they blew the first game of a double header in Wrigley field with the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 5.

When the Illini began a march from their own 31 yard line in the first quarter, the home town crowd of 12,000 beamed with satisfaction.

The folks weren't a bit disturbed when the Illini lost the ball on the Bradley 21 yard line. That first advance had been so easy that they felt sure many more would come before the game was over. They Were Half Right. They were right about that. Many more opportunities did come in the course of the afternoon, but Illinois wasn't able to do anything with them.
