The opinion was reflected in the betting
Two to one was being offered in some
cases this morning with the Red and
Blue team the favorite. These opinions
and these odds were founded on the fact
that Pennsylvania was regarded here as
the best team in the east this year and

way through.

Capt. Schulz Injured.
Irreparable injury was done to Michi-

Schulz About the middle of the first half
he suffered an injury. some ones knee

men when he went to the grass after
making a hard tackle, and he was slowed

lutely unable to mix in the play in the
second half. Referee Langford stopped
the game in the second half and went to
the side lines to advise Coach Yost to re-
move the captain. His suggestion was
followed.
His presence probably could not have
averted defeat. but it certainly would
have made the game less one-sided,
Schulz, with Douglass and Wasmund,
being the backbone, of the Michigan
eleven.
His was not the only injury, Pennsyl-
vania having more than her share of mis-
haps. But these came late and cost MOTH

Pennsylvania Scores.
Pennsylvania S first touchdown was
scored on one of those forward pass
plays, one that baffied Michigan. just as
Pennsylvania was baffied by the fost play
that wasn't allowed a year ago. 1t was
handled by three men, Keinath and Mains
in the back field, and Draper taking the
ball on the long pass down the field and
completing the touchdown. Only one man
was near him, and he didn't seriously
threaten to get the runner.
Michigan made consistent gains with
the forward pass but once. that right
after this touchdown. After the kickoff
she got the ball into the shadow of Penn
sylvania's goal posts on penalty and
tumble, then lost it. Then from mid
field she carried it back on the forward
pass.
These two plays closely followed each
other. and the same men. Allerdice to
Wasmund figured in both. Largely
through the medium of the two passes
the ball went from midfield to inside the
1O-yard line. There an assault on the
Pennsylvania bulwarks failed and Mfchi-
gan itself elected not to try field goal on
the third down. losing the ball on an in
completed forward pass.
The second half had a start that took
the heart out of the Michigan team. The
first touchdown of the second period
which virtually cinched the contest. came
on a trick kickoff. on WHICH Michigan
was fooled, so that Pennsylvania recover
ed the ball. made a forward pass and two
