The Detroit times., 1911-11-16

Coaches OF both teams concede that
the score will be small and therefore
close. Mike Murphy, the Philadel-
phia trainer, thinks that there Is
every probability that the winning
side will have one and only one
touchdown to its credit.
This seems reasonable, judging
from the wonderful brace Cornell has
taken, and the fight the Michigan men
are sure to make with their rejuven-
ated backfield. With Thomson and
Wells hailed as the stars OF the
games they have played in. and Nc
MILAN and Craig receiving similar
honors for their few performances,
Pennsy will have no sinecure.
Thus 1t seems from this distance
that what the Wolverines must fear
more than anything else is one OF
those quick forward passes or nifty
onside kicks fhat Pennsy has the
knack of using when they mean
scores.
IL Pennsy gets within striking point

Michigan has against Pennsylvania,

Michigan has a lot OF things to pay
Pennsy for. About every game played
between the two schools has devel-
oped something annoying from slug
ging to the loss OF what looked to
Michigan-prejudiced experts to be a
perfectly legitimate touchdown, and
tie score.
Then besides this. back in 1909. the
