BRILLIANT RIVALS

Means Much to Both in
AI-America Quest.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

- HICAGO, october 13.-At
the outset Of the 1882 foot
~ ball season the Western
Conference n o m / n e d
four quarterbacks for national
recognition: Harry Newman Of
Michigan, George Potter Of
Northwestern, Carl Cramer Of
Ohio State and Paul Pardonner
of Purdue.
Newman and Potter engaged in a
duel of wits last week and the
stocky Wolverine came out of the
game a winner by wide margin.
This week end finds Michigan and
Ohio State staging their annual game
at Columbus and the contest between
Newman and Cramer will be the fea-
ture that most likely will determine the
outcome of the battle between these
ancient rivals.
Newman this year Is a vastly differ
ent player than the Newman who gave
such disappointing performance for
the wolverines last year. When he
budded as sophomore In 1880, New
man gave promise Of becoming one Of
Michigan's greatest field generals and
In no time was being compared with

line of Wolverine quarterbacks. As
sophomore Newman's strategy on the
Held was almost inpeccable; his pass
Ing was deadly and deceptive and he
was Titan on defense.
THE Newman Of 1881 incurred the

accused of too often carrying the
ball in bid for self-aggrandizement

given him in the stands. AS a conse-

game, sharing honors with other play

Of the game that greatly increased the
efficiency Of his play. Newman ran his
team well against Northwestern. His Sc

permitted the wolverines to function as
anything but well ordered unit
TRAMER, the Buckeye. is inclined to
~ be more sensational in his play
than NeWr an. since he is one of
Ohio's best ball carriers and is in action
more often than his Michigan rival.
Cramer made his conference debut
against the Wolverines last year. Ohio,
beaten by Vanderbilt because Of poor
the sophomore Cramer for salvation.
Michigan found him to be a chunk of
flame before the game was Ave minutes
old
The first time the Wolverines punted,
Cramer caught the ball on the dead
run and came rushing down the field,
straight as a hornet in his flight and
twice as vicious. His handling Of punts
was the best ever seen on a Michigan
field and his generalship and running
led Ohio to 20-to-7 victory-the
greatest margin 1t ever harvested
against the wolverines.
MICHIGAN is favored to win from
W Ohio by virtue Of its conquest over
Northwestern, while Indiana was
tying the Buckeyes. But form often
means nothing when those Midwestern
neighbors meet on the gridiron. Ohio
always comes to its peak for the Mich
igan game.
This game will have much to do with
the seasons rating of Newman and
Cramer. Neither of them faces Pardonner
of Purdue so comparison with the
Boilermaker must be made on records
rather than from personal conquest.
Pardonner does come up against Potter
later in the season, and since the Wild
cat also plays against Cramer he may
become the measuring stick by which
the four will be judged
