Ierdice ran eighty FIVE yards before be- /
ing downed, the luck seemed TO favor
the Michiganders. 1t was a contest
OF weight against speed and the |

from the field.
The defense of the scarlet was
surprise to Michigan, who never ex-
pected to be stopped at all Wabash
was rather light to gain consistently
over their heavy opponents. Har-
grave and Sohl gained a lot of ground
running back punts, but were unable
to gain from scrimmage.
The first half opened with an eighty
five yard run from the kickoff. This
placed the ball on Wabash's fifteen
yard line. Wabash held and the ball
was punted out of danger. Here be-
gan one of the hardest fought foot
ball games ever seen in Indiana Wa
bash held Michigan until the last six
minutes Of play when an unlucky fun
bic of punt by Hargrave gave Michi-
gan the ball on the scarlet's ten-yard
line. Remschild carried the bali
At the opening of the second half
Captain Gipe of Wabash was found
to be unable to continue the game
With tears streaming down his face he
begged to be allowed to continue, but
Cayou was obdurate and sent in Pat
ton at end and moved Hess from end
to tackle. The loss of Gipe was no

game. Hargrave tried several forward
passes but Michigan always got the
ball.
At this point the men began to show
the effect of the grueling and Cayou
was forced to replace man after man.
Before the end of the half there were
five regular men out of the game.
| The stars of the game were Sohl of
Hammond. Dobbins. Sprow and Sun
derland. Captain Gipe played well I'M
til he was injured. Hargrave played
strong game but was frequently
thrown for a loss on attempted quar-
ter back wins. Special mention should
be made of the work of Sohl. It was
the great punting of Sohl that kept
Michigan from scoring in the first
half. Sohl punted high and with good
distance. which allowed the end rushes
to get down the field and tackle the
runner. When Sohl was injured in the
middle of the second half and Carver
substituted for him, the effect was
notable, as Michigan began to gain
on the short punts that were kicked by
his successor.
Both teams showed the effect of good
training and the fact that Wabash
took out more time than Michigan was
because of old injuries going back on
them.
The game was altogether of the open
variety. punts being exchanged fire.
