O. M. u.
Won't Play Here
Saturday.
We're the Doctors Afraid
of East Ends F?
North End Athletic Entertain
ment Tonight.

Manager Kasch, of the East Akron
a @. team, received a telegram at noon
today from the manager Of the o. M.
u. team, stating that o. NJ. U. would
be unable to come here Saturday as
they already have a game scheduled
for that date. It is possible that o. M.
u. feared the outcome of the game and
thought It best to take on team next
Saturday whose measure 1t would cas-
lily be able to take.
o. M. U. has without doubt the
best college team In the state. Case,
the champion Of the big Six" was
unable to cross the goal line Of the
Nedics in the game at Cleveland, while
Cases stone wall was toppled over
time and again by the Doctors. The
score of the game was 10 to O. But
one team has defeated o. NJ. u. this
year, and that was an Indiana college
team, which won by one point by pure
luck, bad fumbles marring o. NJ. us
play.
But 1t was not until the o. M. U.-
Shelby game at Shelby last Saturday
that the Medics grew interesting to the
local lovers Of football. Shelby's de-
feat brought Joy to local people. 1t
also showed that o. NJ u. had the
champion team Of the state, college and
athletic combined the exception
Of one team.
In weight, the two teams would be
almost evenly matched, and 1t would
be struggle with all the fierceness OF
the big eastern games, for the Medics
showed at Shelby Saturday that they
can play hard game.
The East End team ms 1t Is today,
has undergone wonderful transfer
nation. From team composed of a
few individual starts with number
Of "green" men, 1t has been transform
ed into an eleven which plays the game
together as one man. When they first
appeared on the field, the line men sup
posed that all they needed to do was
to fall down and let the opposing team
fall over them. They do not think or
play in that manner now Instead of
waiting for the opponents to fall over
them the line men are away with the
passing Of the ball and often they
smash into the interference and breal,
up play.
After the game in which the light
team from Lorain held them to 90

sary. Since then they have played the
game.
''There is not n yellow streak in one
Of Them" said Coach Fitch, Tuesday
morning, "and football Is game in
which nerve plays great part.
