In Captain Goebel and halfback
4 Eipke Michigan has two candI-
dates for the All-AmerIcan.
! Noiend in recent years has play
ed a greater game than that which
Goebel put up against Ohio State.
For three periods Goebel was
the kidnapping of the Michigan
eleven. He seemed to be in every
play. It was always Goebel who
was, cumming up things for State.
No man could go through an
entire game at the speed with
which Goebel played the first
three quarters. 1t was beyond the
J, power OF any human being. with
a few minutes to play in the third
perlod the big fellow practically
collapsed.
Even when three or four Of his
teammates were carrying him off
the tieldtthe old spirit was still
there. Hestried to induce his team
mates that he was able to play,
and tried to break away from
their grasp, but the punch was
4 gone and he was forced to give
way as the big crowd cheered him
TO the echo.
u First Kicks Field Goal
tfany one man made possible
the defeat Of State by Michigan 1t
was Captain Paul Goebel. In the
first perlod he kicked field goal
from the 30-yard line. That goal
save Michigan the needed conf
dence, 1t tended to dlsconcert
State.
0nly;a few minutes before Goe-
bel had made possible the chance
stolkick goal by sitting through tn.
secondary defense and blocking
sSyyorkman's punt. The blocking OF
that punt was the first break OF
thelgame.
In thessecond period, with the
ball on States SO-yard line, u
rather poor pass by the State cen
ter, which hit Blair on the back
because be also started too quick
III caused a fumbled ball. Once
agnin Captain Goebel was the
hero. Following the ball closely
She recovered It for Michigan. Once
again the States defense had al

On the second play after Gon-
chad recovered the ball INipke
pna delayed double pass ran
for Michigan's first touchdown.
3 II was Goehel all through tho
game. State seemed to realize his
importance in the Michigan lineup
because he was forced to take
llerity OF punishment. No State
;5player handed Goebel with kid
gloves. AS aresult he was often on
The ground talking short count
and only falling TO come back d.
the close OF the third period.
Kipke showed me that he was
easily the best open-field runner
y thatgI have seen in years. Behind

would give Kipke a chance 10 get
the jump no would be as much
talked about as Willie Hest0n Of

lKipke's Punting n Feature
In addition to his fine work OH

ton of punting. Evidently ne has

On his EIcst tTo attempts it
was apparent that Kipke was try
ing to get the full distance Of

and then have the ball so out Of
Bounds. He failed both times, but
soon got his range. During the
game any number OF his kicks
would carry close to so yards and
then so out Of bounds. preventing
State from running them back and
Z also saving. his team from the

any such attempts.
