ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. 25-
Though beaten by NJ. A. C. on Sat
urday, and receiving incidentally the
worst beating ever suffered on Ferry
Field. the Michigan football begins
It's week Of preparation for the syria
cuse game OF next Saturday full Of
hope and fight.
The Michigan Daily" the official
paper OF the university, In speaking
OF the defeat and the need OF hsnt
now, spoke OF the change OF fortune
after the defeat OF 1918 and named
Monday night rs the occasion for q
mammoth mass meeting in Hill
auditorium. where the players and
the coaches will hear words of en-
couragement. The interest that this
meeting has aroused Ii enormous.
and previous appointments are be-
ing broken In Wholesale lots that
every student may attend TO cheer
a losing team on.
But Michigan's case is not as
hopeless as it appears from first
sight. The line showed signs Of
strength when Reiman was In. and
with him back Mauly ought to re-
ceiye better holes to drive through.
Maulbetsch did make several gains
Of decent size. and each time he
took the ball, ii seemed as though
the entire Aggie lie was thrown on
him before he could get stnrted-
Catlett displayed a great deal of
fight, and he with Msuly and Rhoem
carried the burden OF the entire
game. making the plays and encour-
aging the rest Of the men. Maui
betsch showed better than ever be-
fore at defensive work. while Rhoem
time and again brought down a run
ner that managed 10 get through to
him. And several times he did II
after spilling the interference him
self
Willard looked very good for his
FIRST time out. but Norton and Cap
tain Cochran did not display any
real football ability. Rehor charged
at times and made a lot OF good
tackles In the open. Watson looked
much worse than he usually does.
while the ends were horrible.
Though Il has been said that most
of the Ageie gains were through
the line. IL was the bigger distances
that they got around Benton and
Whalen. and the forward passes
that they worked were past these
men.
There undoubtedly will be some
chxxyes- shis week. Whalen will be
moved from end and probably SO
will Benton. Norton passes we'll at
center, but missed all kinds OF tack
les and It would not be surprising
to the Michigan fans-not disap-
pointing--cf he we're to be replaced.
Cochran will stick, as will Watson
and Reiman, but MillarG is doubtful.
though 1t must be admitted that he
played better than his captain Sat
urday.
Michigan worked two or three old
trick plays from various formations.
in heart-breaking effort to score Sat
urday.
A forward pass play that enclosed
within 1t several lateral passes, was
the one that Michigan used to beat
Minnesota In the last game ever
played between these schools, when
IN the dying minutes Of a scoreless
baftle, Wells shot two passes to
Borleske for q touchdown.
The ten men on the line play that
sent Mauley smashing through
tackle once or twice was the one
that Yos. devised at the last minute
To beat Harvard when his backneld
was all shot to pieces through in
juries.
The delayed pass that Michigan
used against the Aggies, when
Mauly faxed and an end run result
cd was not as new 40 It looked.
Four years ago. Jimmie Cratg took
the ball on such q play and dashed
40 yards to . touchdown and victory
over Pennsylvnnia-
They al worked for short gains,
but failed TO get Q runner past the
secondary defense.
