Octob CT o.-Su- pcrior forward passing, combined with the weight of Michigan’s backfeld, en- abled the Wolverines to defeat Tulane University 21 to 0. on Ferry Field here this afternoon. The New Orleans eleven showed surprising strength in the opening period and held Michigan scoreless. Most of the play was in Tulane territory. A 45-yard run in the third period and one for 40 yards in the final quarter by Jack Perrin, both of which produced touchdowns, fea- tLred the game.
