to-day's achievement is Inscribed.
For fifteen minutes OF the first half the
game to-day was uncertain as to which was
the stron ger team. Both sides were DIS
posed to feel their opponents out. to rec
onnoitring instead of an immediate show
of strength. and there were heller SHELTER
but stirring plsys,with vantage first one way
then the other. There were a few moments
when Michigan f~iustered Pennsylvania by
the aggressive manner in which she went at
the ball. but the Quakers quickly recovered
their composure, and once they felt they had
gagged Michigsn's strength they were the
better team. The Pennsylvania campaign
was conducted along lines OF steadiness and
safety. Ginger and pepper. however. were
possessed by the Quakers in plenty. and
frequently their game flashed into brllliancy.

more modern. more resourcefuI. more versa
tile and built on a sounder basis OF rudlmen-

stronger In attack and defence. The Quakers
gained a great deal more ground than the
Wolverines. They forced the fight, held the
master hand.
The Quakers knew more football than Yost's
products, and while they had a better unity
Of action they yet had more individuality.
Michigan's game seemed more mechanical.
The hurry up methods Of NOst did not pro-
duce any more celebrity In running on plays
than Pennsylvania displayed and not as

MaRofin, a hard runner, was one of the
best performers for Michigan. All Of the
runners were handicapped by the soft yielding
footing. though Greene and Hollenback made
numerous big gains.
HoIenback was a hummer for Pennsylvania,
figuring largely in the line smashing and the
pretty open play Of, the Quakers. The
Quakers, IL may be said Just here, were unex-
pectedly strong in the straight rushing game.
They were together. Their solid, well organ

too far to the rear. Graham OF Michigan and
Ziegler and Draper of Pennsylvania played
consistently and well. The Michigan ends
were weak on thedefence, smothered often by
the Quaker interferers. 4 good many holes
were knocked in the Michigan line its entire

stout heartrd Michigan ~rooters supported
their team nobly all the time. The maize
and blue Of Ann Arbor never dropped. The
Michigan songs and cheers were snappy and
whole souled. Each cheering camp had a
student band. musicians and shouters doing

fsuppOrting body was fine. Michigan had \
song to this effect
"Oh, how he ran!
