The Michigan-Case game was not
exciting. From the very first IL
locked like big Meechigan year,
Xknow. While Case was not strong,
Jet their system Of defense was well
planned and had Michigan stalled at
nret But nine superior men besides
Thompson and Wells on the field,
made any system useless to stave on
tefeat.
With just a casual sweep OF the
predictoscope Il looks like a one-game
season for the Maize and Blue. Pennsy
Will undoubtedly put up a fight, but
the rest OF the schedule ought to be
easy.
The showing of the Michigan Az
giles against last years intercollegiate
champions, Alma, at East Lansing. in
their first game, was not encouraging
70 M. A. G. boosters In their advance
views OF rext Saturdays battle. AT
the first of the season, the teams or
minor colleges are never very strong,
and two touchdowns against Alma is
not a whole lot II shows that NJ. A.
X g. has no wonderful man who Is going
10 break through for long gains, no
star who must be watched. Without
some one man who can score against
heavy odds. NJ A. G. is hopeless, for
With Bottles" Thompson and Wells.
Michigan has a pair that are almost
sure to get away from any ordinary
defense
For the encouragement OF Agricul-
furalists, however. IL Is recalled
that last years showing against the
university was made after an IL TO y
came with the Presbyterians. On the
other hand. Case held Michigan tied.
So, there you are.
First games between the high school
And smaller college football teams are
a. general thing no criterions OF
what will follow before the season 10
over. because In the smaller schools
noiv a couple OF weeks OF preliminary
work n possible before the schedule
terins and more actual football 10
lsorned I'm the opening games than In
weeks Of practice.
For this reason IL IL not safe to
forecast that because Coach Frye's
men rot q big shock from the Pontiac
homes. the season will not be In every
way as successful as that OF last
wear. when Coldwater held the Elm
1tood-ave. boys to q scoreless tie In
the first game Of the season. Coach 1
rive has had plenty OF experience In
IeveIoping smoothly working ma !,

son. the ID. u s. will be the equal or
any o. them in the backfield and will
have q very good line.

Saturday, that IL has been playing out |
~ It's class most OF the time, Tor II
held to a scoreless tie in straight foot /
ball, Adrian college, allowing the col

when q Observation-Disclosures on the part
nf the men playing back on punts per-
mitted an Adrian kick to be recovered
Adrian can thank their suspicious
stars that they didn't 60 back to their
campus scorelees. II would be inter I
esting to see what Central later In
the season could do with some OF the !
stronger colleges on the gridiron.
However. as their schedule Is con- |
Ili1ed to high schools entirely, It looks
like line OF easy victories.
Eastern high. at Wyandotte, showed
the invariable weakness that coaches
have come to expect In nrst high
school games: interference was lack |
