The Winning Play.
middle of the second half Chicago had broken
thru the stone wall for steady gains during this
part of the game and Garrels was forced to
punt out from behind lis own goal line. The
punt went to the 4O-yard line and Eckersall punt
ed back over Michigan's goal line. Clark got
the ball and instead Of downing It, he attempted
to run it back. ~.
Hitchcock, Badenoch and Catlin were down the
field like flash. Hitchcock missed the tackle
by narrow margin, but Badenoch tackled the
wolverine just as he came back over the line.
Catlin came up and with a tremendous effort
pushed both men back over the line, where Clark
was downed- and n safety scored.
1t was not realized for a moment that Chicago
had scored. Then the Chicago bleachers to a
man went crazy. Hats were thrown in the air
and clothes torn In the wild desire to express
the JOY that filled their breasts Organized root
! ing was simply impossible under the circum-
stances, and 1t was every man for himself anG
his particular style Of inartculate ejacula

Michigan Expected March.
It was not the fact that Chicago had merely
scored that caused the tremendous outburst. but
it was the fact that those who knew realized that
with those two points Chicago would win the
| game and the championship OF the west. ~
| When at first the plunges Of the hitherto
almost irresistible, Michigan backheld
stopped without gains by the maroon linenen
the Michigan rooters merely smiled and told
each other that it would not be long before the
mighty scoring machine would get going and
there would be nothing but march down the
| field for Captain Norcross' men. <r.. rta
AS the Chicago line wthstood attack after
attack, the Ann Arbor contingent was undis-
mayed and consoled themselves with the thought
that soon there would be something doing.
When the whistle blew at the end Of the first
period of play the Michigan machine was going
straight down The field, and the wolverine stands
were confident that the end only postponed
until the next half. 49,. ]..@z,
Fear in Yost's Ranks. ,<...,
When the Michigan team trotted out on the
field at the beginning of the last half, the
rooters from across the lake rose as man
and the mighty Michigan slogan rang out until
deafening. Many times had their men been
held to comparatively close score in the first
half and always came back and smothered their
opponents in the last period Of play, and this
game would be nothing more than repetition
Of the many games which had gone before.
The hopes of the wolverine adherents failed
to materalize as the maroons came back hard
err and harder with every play, and the Michigan
offense was steadily weakening.
AS the ball was being slowly but surely
pushed down the field toward the Michigan goal
line, and the maroon attack increased in its
intensity, CONSERVATION and fear was stamped
on every face in the Michigan bleachers. Then
came the score, and after that the maroon at
tack increased in Its fury. Still, however. there
that would defeat Chicago + 49,
Plays His Last Card. "
Magoffin was sent in for Clark, and soon after
Barlow took the injured Captain Norcross' place.
Tarlow's wonderful speed was Yost's, last cardl
and trick plays and quarterback runs were tried
in the vain hope that he could get away for a
touchdown, but the maroons were not to be
cheated Of their we'll earned victory by any sub
quarterback or by any trick plays. They had
won glorious victory against great team, and
there was no power earth that could beat
them then. Time after time Barlow was nailed
behind the line for substantial loss, and what
gains they made were extremely short
Finally, as the time for the half drew shorter
and shorter, the wearers of. the maize and blue
realized that their championship and undefeated
team had been beaten for the first time in five
years, and that the hated Chicago team had
! been the instrument Of destiny.
Michigan Plays Schultz.
Michigan received another black eye by play.
Ing Schultz. The big Michigan guard is In
eligible beyond shadow Of doubt and that
, Michigan should play him in championship
game when 1t was known that he was playing his
sixth year on college football team Is consid
ered extremely unsportsmanlike by every lover
of clean sport. ....-st
Professor Pattengill attempts to justify his &C
: ton on the ground that there had been no for
NAL protest Of Schultz, and that he was eligible
to play until a formal protest had been made.
Another much-talked-of man was Leo De Tray
aDouL whose playing there has been much
speculation. The star halfback was in fine
2 shape but Stage did not care to play him
unless it was absolutely necessary. Walker:
knee steadily grew worse and it was finally
decided to take him out.
De Tray appeared as good as ever, and HI
t was. He was In, every play, and made seyera
0 long gains. He had all his old time speed ant
: he often broke thru the Michigan line ant
