Play OF the Michigan Ends Wa.
beautiful, and Too Strong for

Was All Over the Field, but HI.
Efforts Proved Unavailing-
Ee Made All Chicago's Points.
CHICAGO, Nov, "a. = The Western
football championship goes to Micht-
gan. On field that was simply per-
feet for fast football, and before q.
crowd OF fully 10000, the maroon of
Chicago, went down before the maize
and blue, of Michigan, today, by a
score OF IL to II. Michigan's score rep
resents two touchdowns, goals being
kicked in each instance. Chicago made
one touchdown, goal and goal from
placement. The reversal of form
shown by the Michigan men sinoe
they barely succeeded in defeating
Northwestern was something remarka-
BILE. The Michigan nine, in which big
holes We're torn by the light North.
western team, was simply impregna-
BILE today, with the exception of about
ten minutes in the second half, when
the Chicago men, with defeat staring
them in the face, pushed their oppo-
nents aside with apparent ease. Even
in the punting, Michigan was not much
inferior, as, although Hershberger's
kicks were longer than Caley's, yet the
latters, as a rule, were better placed.
Hershberger was a big factor in the
game. Every one of Chicago's eleven
points were made by the stocky little
half back. He kicked a goal from a
place on the forty-five-yard line in the
first half and scored the touchdown
and goal during Chicago's desperate
rally near the close Of the second half.
But his work was marred by the fact
that he allowed himself to be drawn
in on mass play, which resulted in
the most spectacular feature of the
game, q sixty -five-yard run for
touchdown by Widman.
PLAY WAS BEAUTIFUL.
The work of the Michigan ends was
beautiful. They were invariably down
the field quickly on punts and tackled
sure and hard. Chicago's ends also
did pretty work, Hamill In particular
distinguishing himself both on often
sive and defensive. His tacl1ling show
ed great Improvement and several
times he prevented return on a punt.
The styles of play adopted by the
two teams were altogether different.
Michigan, with the exception Of one or
two double passes, relied almost alto
gether on straight football line buck
Ing and runs around the end. Chica-
go. on the contrary, used trick plays
throughout. Several substantial gains
were made by double passes, but in
several instances the plays on account
of the good work of the Michigan ends
Bennett and Snow resulted in actual
loss Of ground. Team work of a high
order was shown by both elevens The
llnemen charged much more quickly
than is usually seen on a Western field,
and mass plays found every man in
step when the opposing line was
struck
CHICAGO WON TOSS.
Chicago won the toss and chose the
south field, Michigan kicking off to the
thirty-five-yard line. Chicago imme-
diately worked a double pass on a
fake kick, Kennedy carrying the ball
to Michigan's forty-ffve-yard line
Hershberger kicked to the fve-yard
line. Mclean made four yards around
right end. Galley made six yards
through Cavanaugh, and tried it again
for four more. Plunges through tackles
and center brought the ball to Michi-
gans thirty y-two-yard line, where Chi
cago held for downs Kennedy made
four yards through right guard. Hersh-
berger then tried drop kick from the
forty -fve-yard line, but missed 1T by a
foot. The bail was brought out to
Galley and kicked to the fifty-yard line.
Chicago adopted line bucking tactics
and advanced the oval to the thirty
yard line. Michigan was penalized ten
yards for off-side playing, but Chicago
lost 1t Immediately for holding, and
Galley kicked to Chicagos forty three
yard line. A fake kick resulted in a
tbr'ee-yard gain. The next play re-
suited more fayorajbly, Hamin getting
the ball on long double pass and,
helped by splendid interference, carry
ing 1t to Michigan's ffteen-yard line.
Michigan braced, and Hershberger tried
a place kick from the twenty-four-yard
line, but missed It, The ball was
brought out and Galley kicked to Chi
cago's ffty-yard line. Michigan got it

yards. Chicago regained the pigskin
on a tumble on her forty-two-yard line,
but lost seventeen yards on a bad
pass to Hersberger for kick. Burnette

was Michigan again on a tumble on
Cticago's twenty ight-yard line. Wild

but on her fve-yard line Chicago got
the ban for holding. HershbeI ger kick
ed into the grandstand. The ball was
given to Michigan on the five-yard line
for holding In the line, and on the next
play Widman was showed over the goal

five-yard line, Street returning it If
