not so strong, and they had not bit of ad-
vantage in the kicking, for LOOMS had his
kicking shoes on, and when 1t was necessary
sent the ball far into the Wolverines terri
tory.
Loomis kicked of to Ferbert who ran fiftesn
yards, being stopped by raven-haired Fniay
son. After Ferbert and Galley made a couple
or tWos, Duhy connected with the ball FOR

goal line. He made beautiful run Of over

gain was too much for Minnesota, and she lost
the hall en- downs.
Michigan was evidently playing kicking
game, having discovered that line and end
gains We're of little avail in the long run.
Duffy lifted the ball TIC Cole at the thirty
Vineyard line, and Harding's big run was
gone for nought. LOOMS was good for
hne return, even with the wind against him,
and sent the ball to center. Duffy got the
'Dail and on first down returned to Cole at

was a glorious run of gains and would do

Lo0mis tried the end and center for six yards
The ball was now Michigans fifty-yard
| line, while their opponents were steadily COM

of short gains for a time, and so Cole took
| the ball double pass. The light little
quarter was good for thirty yards. Such joy
as there was in the hearts of the rooters.
They let their mouths inform the world of
the terrible yeQs, the marshals keeping the
racket uD for several minutes. Harrison
circled the end for four yards Harding
did some more smashing and made two;
young Smith was found three yards ahead
after being given the ball, and Finlayson
| brought the ball two nearer the coveted line.
Michigan took a brace about this time and
was ready to stop every thing in sight. They
did not count on "Hinkey' Harrison, how
ever, and when the melee was over the long
left end was safely over the goal line and
Michigan had been scored on for the first
time this year. Hinkey's little act lost lots
of money for the few Michigan rooters who
had accompanied the team, for they had all
kinds of money up that Minnesota would not
score.
Harrison kicked out to LOOMS, and then
a wrangle took place over the position to
be occupied by the the Michigan team. The
officials decided that Michigan must line up
within ten yards Of the place of heeling
of kicking goal, for Harrison try was
blocked before it could reach the goal. Score,
"a for the Wolverines. s. ~
Duffy kicked off for a touchback. Loomis
Kicked out from the twenty-fve-yard line.
On the first attempt to gain, the Michigan

made second down, and Smith tried to regain
it, but could only make four yards. LOOMS
! kicked to Duffy at Michigan's ive-yard
line. Parry broke through and tackled the
runner on. the next play, making a loss of
five yards. Michigan next attempted to kick
but Minnesotas guards broke through and
blocked the full back for ten yards of
loss. Duffy again tried it, LOOMS getting the
ball at the thirty yard-line. Minnesota'S full
back covered fifteen yards before being
stopped. Harrison found the right end easy
for fifteen more, and there were good pros
Parry and Finlayson found holes in the line
for four yards, and then LOOMS could not
be contented with anything less than twenty
yards around the right end. That right end
was a favorite place for Minnesota, and
Loomis circled it again for twelve. A plunge
through the center brought him and the ball
to Michigan's eighteen-yard line. Loomis
tried the end again for a short gain, and
then Harrison took a hand at the business
making five. Smith then tried it, but he
was caught by the now thoroughly scared
Wolverines and three yards loss was checked
up. Harding could not make more than two,
another trial and the ball went to Michigan
at her ten-yard line. They made two hard
trials, and it looked if Minnesota would
get the ball in time to make that touchdown
but Villa took a hard plunge into the line
and made the five yards. Several more
smashes were made at the line, but without
avail Then a revolving wedge was tried for
the first time in the game. Michigan was
making short gains in this way, when time
was called with the ball on her thirty five
yard line. Final score, 54, for Michigan.
