St. Paul daily globe., 1895-11-29

following in Chicago. The capacity
of the grand stand was given as 5000.
There were actually more Michigan
sympathizers in the stand than there
were shouters for Chicago.
SANG AND SHOUTED.
BY 1880 the stand was fairly. we'll
filed Then began novel vocal duel.
The Michigan men sang:
1--WE will beat Chicago.
We Will beat Chicago.
We will beat Chicago.
Beat her bad"
This was followed with the uniVer-
sity yell. A delegation of students
from Ann ,Arbor perpetrated this eX-
cruciating song:
MY girls a corker,
She's a New Yorker,
Bets on football.
Who told you so?
She's star-r-r.
Beats Ann Arbor.
How in thunder did you find it
out?
She told me So"
The vocal duet was continued for an
hour or more in a good-nature way.
This is a sample verse from Chicago's
most popular song, to the tune of
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching:"
when a year ago today, with their
boom and brag and bray,
They were sure that they would
murder the maroon,
They We're struck with deep dismay
when we all but won the day
And their roosterS sang a very diff
ferent tune"
This was the chorus:
"Biff, boom, bang, our boys go bump
ing,
Down toward Michigan's goal;
And beneath the old maroon, we will
sing our happy tune, .....
AS we put the MichiganderS in a
hole"
OUT FOR A HOLIDAY.
But the Chicago boys failed to put
the boys from Michigan in hole,
although they tried their best to do go.
1t is estimated that fully 5000 persons
saw the game. Nine tally-ho parties
enlivened the scene. 1t was hard to
tell which college had the best of it
as far as the display of colors went.
Old Michigan's yellow and blue f1ut-
tered in every stand and decorated
thousands of breasts, and Michigan's
plays were most loudly cheered the
ChicagoanS joining in applauding fine
play Michigan college alumni, some
of them bent with the burden of years,
exchanged jolly greetings with class
mates that they had not seen in per-
haps a score of years. 1t was place
and occasion where years were forgot
ten. Just before the game lad
dressed in Michigan colors paraded
over the tce-fieid leading a sage-looking
donkey by the head. On the. donkey's
back was seated a diminutive negro
wearing the maroon of Chicago. "Rah,
rah, rah," yelled a score of enthusiastic
Chicagoans, we're on top" But the
revelers forgot that the Michigans
were doing the leading. 1t was exactly
II :02 when a great shout went UP. The
shout developed into a roar and was
emphasized by the waving of hundreds
Of maroon flags. The shout announced
the arrival of the Chicago's chrysan-
themum-haired players. Their suits
were soiled from the mud of many con-
fiicts, and if their trousers were ever
virgin white, no one in the audience
could prove it. That started another
fusilade of songs and cheers.
ROAR OF A MULTITUDE.
It was a tedious wait for the Michi-
ganders. The Chicagos threw the ball
about for a while and fell on it, and
finally quit playing. Again a mighty
torrent of cheers swept over the saw
dust-covered field. A Michigan man,
wearing huge white sweater with a
great letter my in the center, was
seen to enter the I ain gate. Other big
men similarly attired followed in his
wake and rushed on the field. The
Michigan giants had arrived Every
man and woman in the Michigan sec
ton of the big east bleacher jumped to
his or her feet and let out yell that
was heard away over at the elevated
railroad station on Sixty-third street.
The cheering continued for fully five
minutes. Tin horns squeaked and a
score or more of cornetS and bugles
added to the fearful din. Then the
game went on, with the result already
told.
Referee Goula, who umpired the
game at Detroit last Saturday, lined
up the elevens in battle array and the
annual Thanksgiving day contest was
on. Michigan's backs were as fast as
lightning, Herbert especially distin-
gushing himself. He was here, there
and everywhere and was quite a thorn
in the side Of the contenders. The first
touchdown, made in 9:29, was some
thing in the nature of fiuke. Mich
cago's weak center. The ball was
passed to Henninger, who fumbled.
The ball rolled over the line and Rich
ards dove after it, landing on the ball.
Bloomington kicked a goal. That
caused a break out in song in the
Michigan section. This is what was
sung:
whats the score?
whats the score?
whats the score?
michigan six and a whole lot more"
SOME BAD FUMBLING.
Chicago could do little or nothing
with NIichigans superb interference.
After the first touchdown Michigan
came within an ace of scoring, but
was foiled by clever playing. The
second half saw the ball in the air
most Of the time. On two occasions,
line, Michigan fumbled and failed to
score. The second and last touch
down was made in 1928. The call of
time found the ball in nearly the CEN
ter of the field. The lineup:
