16. Open-. ing; up after the first half with a. diversified attack that at times fairly bewildered their heavier opponents the Minnesota team Saturday defeated Wisconsin by 14 to 3. The game was replete with forward passes, driving line plunges and excellent punting.

The playing of Solon, Minnesota's speedy full back, was remarkable. Repeatedly he was called on to pound against the rigid Wisconsin line often breaking through for long gains. fWftfr.Ilton, Bierman and DIderich were the other Minnesota stars, while Bellows, Cummings, Smith and Kreuse played fully as well for Wisconsin. Generalship honors must go to Dled-erich. Neither side showed a conspicuous advantage in kicking.

15. After Coach Stagg's Cr.icago Maroons had assumed a 7 to 3 lead at the end of the first half. Zuppke' great machine, headed by his wonderful pair of runners. Pogue and Clark, came back in the two final periods and played Chicago off its feet and won 21 to 1. The victory for the State University practically gives them the "Big Nino" conference, as well as the Western football championship for the season of 1914.

Illinois' victory came as Intensely dramatic finale to a sensational battle. In which the Illtnl came from bc-liin'd. fought an up-hill fight and finished the contest with two touchdowns ttiie better of the Maroons. In the third quarter, after a steady march down field on longs gains by Squire, Pogue and Clark, Pogue shot over the Chicago for the first touchdown made 'over the Maroon goal line this season. "Macomber easily kicked goal and the 'score stood 7 to 7.

The play which save the Illlnl a chance to score the touchdown was a triple pass, Clark to Macomber to Pogue. Maroon Defense Broken. Then came the fourth period and the Ulini's brilliant attack wore away the stubborn Maroon defense and it was an easy matter to pile up the score. Spectacular runs by Pogue and Clark took the ball to the Maroon five-yard line and then Clark shot over for tne 'tiuchdown which probably tHe most brilliant game ever played on Illinois field. On the next kickoff.

"Potsy" Clark caught Pes Jardien's punt on Illinois five-yard line and ran the entire Chicago team for a 'touchdown, a feat that sent the 16.000 spectators into a final spasm of delight. The run of 95 yards bettered those of Eckersall and Steffen, who used to occasionally turn the trick against the Orange and Blue when these football stars put the Maroons to the front. It was a pretty picture to the former grads of the State university, who had seen Illinois downed in so many battles, to see the brilliant playing of their alma mater, and to see the chesty Stagg machine go down to defeat, Poinie and Clark Star. In Individual playing, Des Jardien, captain and center for the Maroons, stood out head and shoulders above his ates. His punting was a feature, and it was due to his 70-yard punt in the rirst quarter that practically allowed the Maroons to register.

The crippled Carlisle Indians were no match for Notre Dame in the game played here Saturday at Comiskey park, the final score being Notre Dame, 48; Carlisle, 6. Welsh, the Chippewa fullback, was badly injured in the course of the last quarter. He was taken in an unconscious condition to a hospital where an examination was begun in fear that the base of his skull had been fractured. The punting of Cofall, who scored a field goal from the 45-jt-I line and his runs together with those of Eich-enlaub, Pliska, Bergman and Kclle-herand the return of punts by Bergman were the feature of the Notre Dame defense. Captain Calach was Titanic for the Indians although the whole team fought game and were badly battered when they left the field.

The Lineup. team but there was no chance. Zuppke's team was primed to win. There was only one thing that bothered, it was Wagner or Pogue for the back-field and Wagner went in. It was for only a few minutes.

Pogue took his place and then presto a triple pass, in the third quarter, and the score was tied. Chicago Does It. It was the old time Chicago spirit and rivalry helped along with Des Jardien's wonderful punting that placed the score 7 to 0 for Chicago throughout the first half. Illinois spirit never weakened. They yelled all the louder, the band played "Illinois Loyality" more spirited and Illinois came back and won the game.

Only twice before In 20 years had an Illinois team downed the up state squad but this year it was time for Illinois to win another conference championship. In 1910 they marched through without a defeat. Wisconsin's defeat Saturday makes Illinois the 1914 champions, but Illinois meets Wisconsin next Saturday and there should be no doubt as to the result. Coach Zuppke has the greatest machine that ever marched out on Illinois field. Third Championship.

Illinois has an unapproachable record. They won the baseball championship; they won the track championship, they have won the football championship, all this year. Basketball is not classed as a major sport or perhaps they would win that this year also. It was a great home coming. Chicago was downed 21 to 7.

If all the other pleasures of going back to visit the old school were forgotten that 21 to 7 score will remain forever. It was a great day for Illini but a sad day for Stags. The old warrior is. a rheumatic cripple and it was sad to see him sit in his motorcycle carriage on the sidelines Saturday clinch his fists and watch his team go down to defeat. Old Against The New.

It was the old against the new. Stagg relied on his trick plays, and line bucks, Zuppke on his open field work and Zuppke won. Illinois open considerable fame through a story of an attack upon him by several gangsters which he told his roommates. The battered suit case seemed to confirm his story, and it was not until Saturday afternoon that the truth became known. Members of the Millikin football squad were given a chance to rest up and to recover from the stiffness following the Wesleyan game by Coach Price Saturday.

A number went to Ur-bana for the Illinois game. Regular practice in preparation for the Thanksgiving game with Charleston will be resumed Monday however. possession on their own 35-yard line. Second Quarter. Chicago tried a forward pass and it was intercepted by Illinois.

Pogue, who had replaced Wagner early in the first quarter, made four yards around right end. Clark, on a fake pass, made eight yards and then followed with ten more on the same play. Clark made five yards and Pogue followed with 15 on another fake pass. Clark, on first down, failed to gain and on second down was held. A forward pass was incomplete and Chicago intercepted a pass which followed.

Berger made one yard and Des Jardien punted to Clark, who fumbled and recovered. Pogue made four yards around right end. Macomber threw a forward pass to Petty for 20 yards. Pogue made one yard through the line. Macomber then threw for a long forward pass to Graves over the Chicago goal line, but the right end dropped for It.

Chicago put the ball in play on the 20-yard line, and Des Jardien punted to Pogue, who returned it 30 yards. Pogue made five yards around rlgnt CARLISLE. NOTRE DAME. of him. It is no wonder that the students yell, "Give the ball to Pogue" for he seldom fails to gain.

It was a great day for the home coming crowd. Never before in the history of the University of Illinois had there been such a crowd on the field. Champaign had neve- seen such a jam. Thousands of former Illini men went back for the game. Hundreds said they wanted to see Chicago defeated and Coach Zuppke's machine won.

So oiled and so mysterious was the workings that men who have seen Harvard and other great teams play this year said, "None compare with Illinois," Two Governors Present. More than an hour before the game 5000 persons lined up for standing space when it had been announced that there was room for only 2500. But the 5000 pressed in and many were turned away. The stands were jammed. Chicago brought down 1900 rooters.

When the stands were filled Illinois 100 piece band marched into the field escorting Governor Edward F. Dunne and George C. Carlton, governor elect of Colorado. A battery detachment fired the governor's salute and soon the game was on. The Maroon players went into the game classed as the under dogs.

Coach Stagg, veteran of the game and crafty, hoped that a bruised and battered machine that had not been scored on this year could wreck the Zuppke (By Staff Representative). CHAMPAIGN, Nov. 15. Of the 16,000 and more persons jammed in the stands about Illini field Saturday afternoon thero was no happier man than John R. Pogue, 1090 West Wood, street, Decatur.

From the throats of 4000 Illinois students Mr. Pogue had heard the cry, as it echoed and re-echoed across the field, "Give the ball to Pogue." "Give the ball to Pogue." And Harold A. Pogue, son of the above mentioned man, was given the ball time and again and hurled Into the Chicago lines for the most consistent gains of the day. Indeed it was the Decatur boy who scored the first touchdown for Illinois which tied the score with Chicago. And that touchdown gave him a record of having scored a touchdown in every game that he had played in the last two years.

Is Idol of State University. Harold Pogue is the idol of the university students. He has well won that distinction, for, two years ago he was dismissed from the freshman varsity team without a trial. Last year he was the sensation of the conference. This year he is one of the greatest half backs ever developed in the West With the ball tucked under his arm he is a formidable man to stop.

He weighs only 145 pounds but when he starts running he never stops until three or four men have piled on top outplayed b- Clark. Dolly Gray got In the Maroon line-up for a brief period, but he was removed and Gordon, who substituted, played good football. Pogue and Clark were the stars for the Illinl. although there was not a man In the game for Illinois who did not play sensational football and help give the university a Western championship.
