Versity football team today defeated
Stanford university. Michigans superior
knowledge of the game showed in every
play. At kicking, general team work,
running, tackling and bucking the line
the Michigan men eXcelled. 1'erhaps the
strongest feature of their playing was
the phenomenal punting by Sweeley,
Mjchigan's right end. In every exchange
of punts Stanford lost ground, which sne
could not regain. In the first half STAN
ford showed well for the first twenty
minutes, forcing Michigans line Tor
small gains and holding her opponents
when they went against her line. Gran-
ually the Michigan boys forced the ban
down the field for steady gains through
center and around the left end.
By series of brilliant plays that never
failed to score a gain and by the most
superb team work ever shown on a foot
ball field in California, Michigan took
the ball to Stanford's uhree-yard line
Here the CalifOrnians took a determined
stand, and, encouraged by the shouts

Stanford tried every trick known to

to punting, and the consequence was loss

The second half was an exhibition OF
fast football. Michigan went at their op-
ponents with all the knowledge of the
game and the weight of their players.
Tney hit Stanford's line in the middle
and they went around the ends. They
advanced ten, fifteen and twenty yards
on a play, on fake passes, fake kicks
and every other known football device
In fact, so fast and fierce was their play
that Stanford was bewildered and knew
not how 20 stop the encroachment on
her goal.
Once or twice again the Californians

Snow for Michigan went over the line
for touchdowns and Shorts kicked goal
until 49 points had been scored.
For Michigan the brightest star in her
ranks was Snow at fullback, though he
scarcely eclipsed Sweeley and Hornstein.
Traeger, for Stanford, played a brilliant
game, his tackling being one OF the
features.
The day was perfect, though possibly
a trife warm for football. The field
upon which the teams met was as smooth
as a floor but very dusty. The crowd
numbered about 1000.
