The most important Detroit college
and scholastic teams went away for
their games today and big games they
were, too.
Detroit Central went down TO To-
iedo for It's first real important strug-
gle. While no championship title
rests upon or Is likely TO be In any
way affected by the result OF the con-
test, the great rivalry between the two
big high schools makes IL imperative
for Detroit to win to keep up IT'S stand
ing. Toledo has yet TO win its first
game from Detroit when the whistle
blew today.
The u. OF ID. journeyed over TO
Ann Arbor where they were book
ed to try their merits against the
u. OF NJ. Freshmen. This game was
lof two-fold importance. First, Coacn
Campbell, of the ". nf d., desired to
see his men lick the Freshies because
3they were getting the advantage OF
the teaching OF Fred Conklin, last
years varsity captain, and second, be-
cause the result OF that game might
20 a long ways In determining the
standing of the teams of the smaller
colleges OF the state.
Alma beat the Freshmen, 90 at
Alma and then Hillsdale bet them oU-
is at Ann Arbor. In the meantime the
iU. OF ID. and Hillsdale went to l3-
I13 tie on Hillsdale grounds This
Coach Campbell wanted to swamp the
lFreshies even wore that did Hills
dale.
However, II this we're not possible
lt would necessarily mean that the
ItJ 81 ID. are worse than Hifisdale or
Alma. Alma men admit that the Fresh
team was quite badly crippled when
they beat them, and that 1t was much
worse on the next week when HIS
dale beat it.
Both these Detroit teams suffered
from playing on foreign soil. Coach
| Stocking, of Central. was especially
| fearf,it that the hostile crowd might
sffect hfs-team. He says that playing
On an outside field before an OUTSIDE
. crowd means great deal to high
school boys, more than to college nfen.
Coach Wuesthoff took his Eastern
BOYS to Fenton where they stacked
hp against Coach Marks men. Fen
on has not been heard OF prominent
" this year, but this game gave them
IN opportunity TO break into the mead
ines.
Coach Marks. who has taught tho
sentonites. is an Alma star OF last
kear. He is the man who swept
everything in the dashes at tho in
elcollegiate field meets of the last
wo years. He is capable OF doing
he hundred regularly in ten nat
darks had two years under Coacn
Dennis Grady, now an assistant ana
tudent at Northwestern university,
nd he surely has knowledge OF and
.bility In the game In sufficient guam
tiles TO show the Fenton boys lou
4 good football.
Eastern was fairly confident or WIN
ing, although they attacked an un.
,nown quantity and quality.
The only home game scheduled
a yas that between Western and Pom
SAC High at Clark Park. Western
asnt shown much this year. but
soach Mathews wants to take ad-
antage OF coming down here and
leaning up on Detroit High school
eams at inopportune moments. Pom
lac outweighs Western.
The Hillsdale-Olivet game at -Hllls
ale was the most important game
aying any bearing on the intercol
sgiate football title of the state. Ii was
expected that Hillsdale would have
d easy time disposing of Olivet.

srmiue whether Olivet is merely
luffing or sincere I'm its bear stories.
Alma. expected an easy time with
,e Mt. Pleasant Nornlals, at. Mt
leasant.
Albion anticipated an easy time,
lso. with the Kalamazoo Normals.
Down In Lincoln, Nebraska, the
irian college team was scheduled TO
hattie with the University of No
.aska. This is the first time this co,
ge has entered the university class
football.
Before the game II was doped that
driau had no chance to win, but
build hold Nebraska to a 10y score.
Coach Steihm intended TO use
inch of substitutes. Both teams
bmplained of a woeful lot OF cripples.
Coach Macklin expected a tough
,ne for M. A. G. at East Lansing
ifI, DePauw IN spite of their bear
ories that they were almost forced
cancel their game With the AggieH
/ account Of crippies.
