GATHERING SETS
NEW MARK IN WEST
Continued from First Page.

There was n roar as the Michigan
squad ran on the field at 1880 and
another wave of sound as the Ohio
players followed five minutes later.
The cheer leaders began to warm up a
earnest Capt. Pixley and the quarter
backs did not come on the field with
the rest OF the Ohio players. Coach
Wilce had kept them for late con-
ference and their arrival was the basis
Of further cheering. When 1t was an
nounced that Elgin would be started
at left end. 1t was thought to indicate
that Ohio expected to use a forwa.'d
passing game. Capt Pixley of Ohio
won the toss and chose the north goal
Michigan Starts Strongly.
Almost from the moment that Pixley
kicked off to Robey and the latter ran
the kick back ten yards 1t was evident
that the Michigan veterans were too
strong for their opponents. In that first
quarter the Wolverines gained by rush
ing approximately fifty-four yards to
their opponents thirty-three. II became
fairly evident that Ohio had no rushing
attack powerful enough to gain ground
against that Michigan team In Michigan
territory. But Ohio had another weapon.
This weapon was forward pass and
its use turned the second half OF the
game into one of the most spectacular
football battles ever waged. For Ohio's
passes were we'll conceived. ably exc
cued. and, even when their opponents
expected the play, hard TO block.
We have rarely seen better man
throwing n football then Workman. He
took his time and II there was a man
uncovered he shot the ball at him with
deadly accuracy. The second half
might almost be referred to as an aerial
battle. Beaten and desperate, the Ohio
men tried pass after pass and more
than once 1t looked as IL there was
danger of their getting some man clear
for a score. On one occasion Workman
shot a pass no less than fifty yards Into
the hands of the waiting klee. and
Michigan was only saved by the alert
ness of it's tacklers. In the entire game
Ohio threw twenty forward passes. Ten
Of these were incompleted. three were
intercepted and the other seven gained
total of sixty-seven yards. Most or
them were short passes and one OF them
was so short that the receiver was
thrown for loss.
Michigan. on the other hand, tried two
passes. both In the first quarter. They
were incompleted. The Wolverines did
not have to rely upon the overhead
game. They have n big. fast charging

other Good Men.
While Kipke was the outstanding star,
Cappon, Roby and Uteritz did great
work. The Michigan ends were all that
could be desired and Muirhead was
tower of strength in the line. 1t was
not that Ohio state was weak, but that
Michigan was stronger. Isabel, Work
man and Klee. all are fine runners with
the ball and Michaels is first class
plunEer. Isabel also did some fine kick
ing and is "a man who would make
place for himself on almost any eleven.
1t was a little startling from an Eastern
viewpoint to see Ohio state passing In
It's own territory and even fairly near
its own goal. but It must be remembered
that some play of this kind was pracu-
cally Ohio's only chance to score. And
1t was by this overhead game that Ohio.
In the third quarter. aided by one PEN
atty. did sweep down as far as tho Mich
igan yard line. But the Buckeyes
lacked the punch ever 10 put che bali
across. And here u again where we
sound the praise OF Kipke. Kicking from
behind his own goal line. he was as
calm as a hidden pool and as cool as
Northern SHOWS. On one occasion hs
booted the ball from behind his line fully
fifty yards down tho field and he did II
when he had little time to kick This
Kipke is a great football player. The
