eleven. Never since the days of
Heston has anyone witnessed buck.
ing of the kind that Maulbetsch
showed during the first period of that
game, and again in the third period. |
His gains weren't any puny one and
two yard affairs. They ranged from
five yards to twelve yards almost |
every time he carried the ball.
But it wasn't in the Harvard game
alone that Maulbetsch performed ini
brilliant style. In all the other
games in which Michigan has figured
this year Maulbetsch has been the
greatest ground gamer.
The Human Bullet" as Maui
betsch is called. hits a line lower
than most backfeld men now in the
game Probably that's the reason
that he makes such consistent and
tremendous gains when he hurts
himself at line When the ball is
snapped to him he almost doubles
himself up. and. with his head aimed
at the knees of the opposing line, he
dives head first.
Those who have seen Maulbetsch
in action marvel at the great mo-
iHentum he can get up in two or
three steps. Usually when center
snaps back the ball, Maulbetsch is a
few feet behind the quarterback. AT
the moment the bail is snapped he
plunges forward. Two steps and the
ball is in his arms and then he dives.
everal times during the Harvard
game his dives had so much power
that he dove right through double
line of Crimson players and went
sprawling on the ground IL to %
feet clear of double line.
John f. Spiegel, the Washington
and Jefferson halfback, is another
of the wonderful players who have
come to the front this year with
e grand rush. Spiegel, in all AROUND

inches tall, and weighs trifie unde
