CHICAGO. Nov. 2L-The Western football
championship goes to Michigan. on field
that was simply perfect for fast football
and before crowd of fully 1900. the Ma
rooms, of Chicago, went down before the
maize and blue of Michigan to-day by a
score of 12 to IL. Michigan's score repre-
sents two touchdowns, goals being kicked
in each instance. Chicago made one touch
down. goal and goal from placement.
The reversal of form shown by the Michigan
men since they barely succeeded in defeat-
ing Northwestern was something remark-
able The Michigan line, in which big holes
were torn by the light Northwestern team,
was simply impregnable to-day, with the
exception Of about ten minutes in the sec
ond half, when the Chocagos, with defeat
staring them in the face, pushed their OPP
ponents aside with apparent ease Even in
the Dunting Michigan was not much in
ferior, as, although Herschbergers Kicks
were longer than Caley's, yet the latters,
as a rule, were better placed. Herschberger
was big factor in the game. Every one OF
Chicago's eleven points were made by the
stocky little half back He kicked goal
from placement on the forty-five-yard line
in the first half, and scored 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 al
lowed himself to be drawn in on a mass play
which resulted in the most spectacular fea-
tAre of the game, sixty-fve-yard run Tor
touchdown by Widman.
The work of the Michigan ends was
beautiful They were invariably down the
field quickly on punts, and tackled sure and
hard. Chicagos ends also did pretty work,
Hamill in particular distinguishing himself
both on offensive and defensive His tack
ling showed great improvement and sew
eral times he prevented return on punt,
The styles of play adopted by the two
teams were altogether different Michigan,
with the exception of one or two double
passes. raced almost together on straight
football line bucking and runs around the
end Chicago, on the contrary, used trick
plays throughout. Several substantial gains
were made by double passes, but in several
instances the plays, on account or the good
work of the Michigan ends, Bennett and
Snow resulted in actual loss OF good
ground. Team work of high order was
shown bv both elevens. The line men
charged much more quickly than IS usually
seen on a Western field, and mass plays
found every man Ill step WHICH SA~ SRR~~---o
line was struck.
CHICAGO WON THE TOSS.
