Credit TO ishpeming.
Credit must Be given 10 Ishpem-
ing players for the game battle they
put up. II was almost a foregone con-
clusion that Houghton would win

away any OF its new plays or put into
operation any OF the tricks OF the
new style of football. The only mat

size Of the score.

light Ishpeming line to pieces for con-
sistent gains from five to twenty
yards. Outwelghed twenty pounds 10

the slippery ground to enable them to |
resist the desperate rushes Of Ander- |

No New Football.
New football was conspicuous 5v

passes were tried, two by Ishpeming
and one by Houghton. Houghton's

failures and the second tried by Ish-
peming resulted in a gain Of about ten
yards. a few delayed passes were
tried by Houghton and worked sue
cessfully for twenty and twenty-five
yard gains but this variety of play
is as characteristic Of old style foot
ball as new.
