Story of the Game in Detail.
+ Capt. Rogers won the toss and chose
|. the west goal and at 2:30 o'clock Ham
mond kicked off to Irsfeld on Mime
sota's 5-yard line The Michigan ends
were down the field with the kick, put
Irsfield came back 10 yards. Dawes
tried Reddens end, but failed to gain,
and then Current was hurled against
center for a gain of 4 yards. Schact
hit the line for another 4 and 1t looked
like the game of last year with the
teams positions reversed. Last year
the Michigan line tore through toward
Minnesota's goal and here was Mime
sofa smashing holes into the line tnat
Yost thought strong enough to stop
the maroon and gold.
Another smash at the line and lrsfield
was dug out Of the heap with the ball
Yards farther I'm. Michigan did brace
on the next down and Harris dropped
back for a punt. The little quarter
fumbled the pass and with the big
Michigan ends rushing down on him
lodged instead of attempting to kick
and started to run. Michigan got the
ball on Minnesota's 15-yard line on
the next play.
It was Michigan's first chance TO
carry the pigskin and the team that
found the Minnesota line easy in that
first ten minutes of play last year
hurled Graver against the line. It was
hurry up play, but this time the maize
and blue met with a surprise and
Graver was picked up one yard far
Their away from the Minnesota line.
Graver tried again, but the Minnesota
men refused to weaken and Hammond
dropped back to attempt place KICK
from Minnesota's 25-yard line. Ham
mond stretched his hands and while
the waiting thousands watched he sig
nailed for the ball. The pass went
bad the Minnesota line broke through
and the fullback went down In a heap.
Marshall dived for the ball and Min
nesota had it again on her 27-yard line
Current hit the line for yards and
Irsfield repeated the play for more
Minnesota was penallZed yards Tor
offside play and Harris was forced to
punt to the center of the field. Nor
cross fumbled the punt, but Heston
beat the Minnesota ends to the ball
and fell on it on his 37-yard line.
Hammond was hurt, but remained in
the game.
Graver made yards through right
guard on the next play and then Hes
ton was thrown back without gaining
an inch. Minnesota refused to weaken
in the line and Michigan was forced
to punt again. Hammond booted the
bali to Minnesota's 35-yard line and
Harris came back yards before be-
ing stopped by Longman. Current
tried the left side of the Michigan line,
but failed to gain, and then another
tumble gave Michigan the ball on the
Gophers' 45-yard line.
Graver Tries the End.
Graver tried the end, but failed to
gain, and then Heston was damned
through tackle for 4 yards. On the
next play the touchdown" half slipped
through between left end and tackle
and got by all the Minnesota men but
little Harris. The quarter dived and
with a pretty tackle brought the dan
gerous player of the Michigan team
down on the 30-yard line. Heston
looked a good ground gamer and Nor
cross used him again to get 8 yards
around right end. Graver was tried
next and failed to gain and then Hes
ton took the ball on a fake kick and
smashed at the right end of the line.
Like Graver he was stsopped without
