No Penalties
in This Game

DETROIT, Nov. 90. 49, When
Michigan and Ohio State football
teams played thru their entire
battle at Ann Arbor recently.
without a penalty being inflicted.
a most unusual feat was per.
formed. For seldom It is that
game on the grldiron is played
wherein some lnfringements are
not committed.
But in the Wolverine. Buckeye
scrap there were no off.sidos, no
holding. tripping, clipping or any
violations Of tho rules whatsoever.
The fact that II was a Western
conference fray. with two arch
rivals combating. speaks well for
the fair. clean play displayed by
both elevens.
In the first half there was no
time taken out for Injuries. OBJ.
viousiy. there were no substitu.
tons. This. coupled with the fact
that no penalties were inflicted,
the first two quarters were run
off IN pretty near 10 scheduled
time. There was real action al.
most every minute.
This no-penalty game may not
be n new record for football. But
It az least ties n record.
