Heaven help the Grand Rapids high

For Detroit University school Is out

Knickerbocker's men entered game

sore, indignant, abused. Where In

ment dating back TO the time when
Mr.. Davis was principal at Detroit
Central and Paterson was student
there is said to have played a prom
inent part In the matter. At any rate
the protest came through.
The ID. u. s. management was dis
posed to stand by Paterson and would
have done so but for his own action.
He refused TO stand In the way OF the
final game OF the season and told his
team mates. with tears In his eyes,
that he was ready to sacrifice his
rights and remain on the sidelines.
His fellow players were at first dis
posed to stand pat but, on Paterson's

BY PAUL n. BRUsKE.

It's a day OF rest at both the big
training camps.
With the hard work OF the week
finished, the men who will represen,
the Universities OF Michigan and
Pennsylvania in the big game OF the
year at Ann Arbor tomorrow are al
last given the regular opportunity for
rest, in order that each eleven may
take the field in the very pink OF con,
dition.
Both Yost and Metzger have given
their men the lines OF battle which tho
teams are TO pursue on the field. Each
has added to the tactics OF his own
team what he believes to be a thor.
ough grounding in the plan OF cam
paign OF the opposition. There re
main but the closing words OF encour
agement which each will give his men
as they take the field.
A distinctly different atmosphere
pervaGes the two camps. AT the Coun
try club there Is not a man who does
not believe that Pennsylvania will win
easily.
The words of their head coach still
ring In their ears, spoken to the cheer
ing crowds at the Philadelphia rail
road station where the rooters' fare
welled the team.
"Dont mind any alarming re-
ports you may hear" said he
then. I'VE have the finest players
in the world at Pennsylvania, and
they are going to win. There Is
not the slightest doubt In our
minds as to the result, but we
shall not be overconfident. We
know Michigan expects to surprise
US, but Lafayette did not force Us
to show our strength and Mlchi-
gan will be sadly disappointed"
At Michigan the atmosphere, while
hopeful. Is far more strenuous.
you've got a chance, and a
good chance, to win" Yost told
his men round the training table
last night, "but you'll have to play
perfect game. You've got the
defense to hold 'em and the Of.
Tense to beat 'en, " you keep your
heads and every man does his part
In the play. Keep thinking all
the time and don't miss q single
play And whatever you do, don't
forget that every man 10 there TO
play at his top speed every min

When Michigan and PennsyIvanla's
lines bang together tomorrow after
noon out on Ferry field, there will be
a battle Of the giants. Penn has made
open boast trat end-runing and for
ward-passlng are not the only strings
to her bow.
Don't worry about Schultz" has
been the word. "We'u rush the CEN
ter, too, II he gets away"
II Pennsylvania succeeds In making
good with this contention, Michigan
will surely lose, for, II Schultz can't
stop them, there Is no center alive
who can and the remainder Of the
Michigan team will surely be easy to
an attack that can accomplish that
feat.
Last year Schultz gained the repute
Of being the best center In football!

than ever this year.
