And this is the play that the
greatest coach of them all pro-
nounced the best. 1t was a forward
pass, yet the man who received the
ball did not advance beyond the
was in his arms. 1t was a Yost
trick, introducing a new formation
and proving that the Michigan
master is there under the new
rules, despite the cry to the con-
trary.
Michigan took the ball from
Braddock's tumble and pounded the
tackles until the ball rested on the
Quakers' 20-yard line. When the
Penn players saw Wasmund and
Allerdice drop far back, the for
mer resting upon one knee, they
formed for place kick.
Magidsohn played up toward
the line, back of the right wing
and Clark took his position back
of Casey, apparently ready to block
any Red and Blue players who
might drift through the defense.
But when Smith snapped the ball
Wasmund didn't place it for a kick.
He scrambled to his feet and ran
backward and to the left. Back of
him ran Allerdice, Clark shifting
with them. 1t looked like a run
around the Quaker left end. Miller
and Magidsohn started around the
right end as though to fall into the
interference
When the Penn team began work
ing through the forwards, Wasmund
started the ball to Allerdice and be-
gan spilling Quakers who threaten
ed the Michigan backs. AS the ball
was passed for the second time
Magidsohn and Miller wheeled, the
forward running to where Miller
had been stationed before the ball
was put into play, Miller blocking
for him. When Magidsohn APP
preached the line of scrimmage he
turned and took Allerdice's pass.
Eastern critics declare it the
most beautiful pass ever executed
on Franklin field. The entire
Pennsylvania eleven had been
drawn to the left and Magidsohn

FOUGHT FOR RECOGNITION,
BECAME STAR OF ELEVEN

The story of how Halfback Ma
gidsohn, the star Of the Michigan
football squad this year, gained
his position on the first team, reads
like another Johnny Hayes story.
Magidsohn didn't get his train
ing running around on the roof of
a department store, but he put in
many hard nights practice with
the Michigan scrubs before he was
recognized by the coaches. When
he first came to Whitmore lake
last summer Yost didn't even know
him. From that first night Magid-
sohn worked from early till late to
win place on the first team. And
he did.
With such veterans as Freeney,
Green and Bertrand after the half
back position, it didn't lok much
as If an unheard-of player had a
chance. So he got little recogni-
ton until one night when the quar-
terback on the second team was
loafing. Magidsohn went over to
the offender and asked him either
to quit or run the team right. II
want to learn those signals and get
some good out of this practice"
he told him.
Then Yost began to talke notice.
Soon the obscure scrub had earn
ed a place on the first team, and
the former favorites for the left
halfback position were sent to the
bench
In the Penn game Magidsohn
reached the height of his career
this season. The following tribute,
written by well known sporting
authority whose sympathies are
with the east not the west, is per-
haps the best evidence of his sue

selves for the humiliating defeat
at Cheney last Saturday night. At
that Cheney has no SLOUGH of a

score over Sprague last night.
UNLESS the team makes a good
showing against w. s. c. tonight
they will play no more games this
season." declared Cisco Bullivant
last night. "They have been given
every opportunity to make good,
but the men, individually stars,
have not practiced as they should
and consequently have not de-
veloped the team work that Is es-
sential to pennant-winning aggre-
cation. We are not accustomed to
defeats, particularly this season,
and unless the team can win games
it will be withdrawn from the
field"

will be Mann and Belt, forwards;
Rogers, center; Felthouse and Nc

The play was a threefold trick.
In the first place it looked like a
place kick; secondly, it looked like
an end run, and again the Quakers
believed it would be a forward pass
over their own right wing.
They were led to believe this be-
cause there were no Michigan men
beyond the line of scrimmage at
any point to the right of where the
ball had been put into play.
Mad Magidsohn advanced beyond
the line of scrimmage he would
have attracted attention, but not a

forth behind the line, finally resort
ing to a dash down the side lines,
as was the case.
