Michigan Defeats Northwestern,
| Evanston, H., Nov. g.. Michigan S
heavy team defeated Northwestern
university eleven Saturday by score
of to ). Northwestern presented a
vastly different team from the one that
lined up against Chicago and showed
remarkable improvement in every way,
The men handled the ball better, and
got the plays of quicker. The tack
ling, however, was poor. Michigan S
guards and tackles did fine work,
Sickle was used great deal In line
hucking, and almost invariably made
his distance. A mass play on tackle
was used a great deal and proved very
effective. All the scoring was done ia
the first half. In the second half the
ball was in Northwestern territory
great deal. Left Guard Thorne OF
Northwestern had his neck badly
sprained in Il scrimmage in the second
half and was carried off the field.
Harvard Defeats Pennsylvania,
Cambridge, Nov. 6.--naryard won
on Soldiers field Saturday by superior
kicking and ability to check Pennsyl-
vania's guards back formation and
turn to advantage the miserable
fumbling of the Quaker backs, The
score was 10 to 0. 1t was hard, clean
game liercely contested from start to
| finish and Astounding in exciting and
| brilliant plays. Harvard finished in
good condition and was strongly ag-
gressive to the very last play. In
fifteen seconds after the game began,
Harvard scored through Coombs' FUN
BILE on the kickoff, while
in the second half a
beautiful goal from the field by Bur-
nett on a place kick added another
| five points to the score and clinched
| the game for the crimson. While
DAILY and Dibble were not only sure In
catching liare's kicks, and as n rule
succeeded in making from 10 to 20
yards on the run back. Coombs, Harri-
| L. Ant In ~ a
seemed absolutely unable either TO
| Judge punts or catch them eleanly
when the bali was apparently in their
! hands. When Harvard realized that
the Pennsylvania backs had not the
1 faintest knowledge Of handling punts,
running with the ball was almost
/ abandoned, and especially In the sec
ond half. Boat and Reid plunged into
! the hitherto store wall center Of Penn
! sylyania, and in the first half the nee
! essary distance was gained four times
/ in succession, only to be lost by Dbl
! BILE on a futile attempt to circle the
/ end. AS Harvard held To kicking tao
| ties during the greater part of the
J
| quarters Of the time was in its OPP
ponents' hands. The Huakers' in their
/ frantic efforts to advance the pig-skin,
/ showed in rapid succession every one
of their famous plays The quarter
4 back kick, delayed pass and guards
! back were tried one after another from
the very first and while one or two o.
/ these would gain, Harvard not only
managed to fathom them all before
4 the game was very far along but also
/ either stopped them without gain or
/ succeeded in throwing the runner for
a loss. Iaryard's center stood the
| hammering Of Hare and McCracken,
! reinforced by three other Quaker3,
/ surprisingly well. 1t was at quarter
/ that Harvard outclassed Pennsylvania
and showed in DAILY one Of the best
qlarterbacks ever seen In Cambridge.
| But for his sure tackling two or three
| Quakers. who broke through the line,
would have scored.
