PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-In the
fiercest game played on Franklin Flelo
this year, the University OF Pennsyl-
vania football team to-day defeated the
University of Michigan by IL to ~.
The game was royal battle from start
to finish, and was marked by briillanl
and poor playing by both teams PENN
sylvania earned her victory, because
she had to play harder for her TWO
touchdownS than did Michigan Inc
Michigan team made most OF It's gains
on runs around Pennsylvania left END,
which was lamentably weak, While
Pennsylvania had to gain her
ground by fierce plunging through the
line.
The game was beautiful one for the
spectators. Both teams were about as
evenly matched as they could be. The
Quakers excelled in line bucking and
kicking, while Michigan far outplayed
Pennsylvania when it came to skirting
the ends. Mclean, Michigan's left
halfback, was almost invariably used
for end running. The interferences ac-
corded him were almost perfect, and
this in great measure helped him in
gaining ground.
Pennsylvania showed her old-time
form in line bucking, and Michigan was
seldom able to hold the Quakers in their
terrible plunges with the aid of the
guards back. In the kicking line Coombs
had no trouble in out-punting Street,
who did the kicking for Michigan.
The duel between Cunningham and
Overfieid, the center rushes, was inter-
esting. Both are high class players and
they played with dash that was in
spring. Cunningham had much the
better of it during the first half, but
in the second period Overfield, through
better staying qualities, made big holes
through Michigan's center.
Both teams fumbled badly at critical
moments. Pennsylvania was the worst
offender, and would have probably
made another touchdown in the first
half, had not one of the men let the
ball slip through his fingers. The Mich
1san team was frequently penalized for
OF side playing, in fact, more than any
TWO teams that have played on Frank
I'm Field this year. The game, how
ever, was a fair and clean one
