PHILADELPHIA, Nov. lin the
herciest game played on Franklin field
this year the University of Pennsylvania
football team this afternoon defeated
the University of Michigan eleven II to
~. The game was a royal battle from
start to finish and was marked by bril-
liant and poor playing by both teams.
pennsylvania earned her victory because
she had to play harder for her two touch
downs than did Michigan. The 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 plunginR
through the line.
The game was a beautiful one for the
spectators The teams were about as
evenly matched as they could be- The
Quakers excelIed in line bucking and in
kicking, while Michigan far outplayed
Pennsylvania when 1t came to skirting
the ends. Mclean, Michigan's left half
back, was almost invariably used for end
running. The interferences accorded him
were almost perfect, and this, IN great
measure, helped him in gaining ground
SN-lN- oyfo old
in line bucking, and Michigan was sell
dom able to hold the Quakers in their
terrible plunges, with the aid of the
guards back. In the kicking line Coombs
although suffering with lame shoulder
had no trouble in Outpunting Street, who
did the kicking for Michigan. The duel
between Cunningham and Overf1eld, the
center Tushes, was interesting. Both are
high class players, and they played with
a dash that was inspiring. Cunningham
had much the better Of 1t during the first
half. but in the second period Overfield,
through better staying qualities, made
big holes through Michigans bulky CEN
ter.
Both teams fumbled badly, and at crit
zeal moments. Pennsylvania was the
worst offender, and would probably have
made another touchdown in the first half
had not one Of the men let the ball slip
through his fingers. The Michigan team
was frequently penalized for off-side play
ing; in fact, more than any two teams
that have played on Franklin field this
year The game, however, was a fair
and clean one.
MICHIGAN'S FIRST.
Michigan's first touchdown was made
wholly on a series Of runs by Mclean,
around Pennsylvania left Pennsyl-
vania's first touchdown was made on
straight line plunging. The Quakers got
the ball in midheld and worked it stead
fly down the field, and Hare was pushed
over the line. The second touchdown
for Michigan was not made as easily
as was her first. Pennsylvania second
touchdown was made on the fierciest
kind of line plunging. The Quakers got
the ball in midfield again, and us,r Hare,
McCracken and Outland as battering
rams, managed to drive home the last
touchdown of the game. Hare was not
a success at goal kicking, and Overfield
made the kick that won the game.
Pennsylvania won the toss and chose 10
kick off. Hare kicked TO Michigans if
teen-yard line, ard Lie BILE ran the ball
back twenty yards. A twelve-yard run
by Liebe and several mass plays
brought the ball to Pennsylvania fifty
yard lire. where the QUakers were twice

ten yards on two plunges and Pennsyl-

fve-yGrd line Michigan, however, inme-
diateN Tagained it on Hare's tumble.
