  5PUNTS AND PASSES thing out of nothing or Harvard is of color. Perhaps little OF both. Bill Roper, who has been writ ing few lines now and then about why Yale has been a weak sister in eastern football. may have to write some thing about Princeton soon. The Tigers have lost two games in n row, Chicago outplaying Aer at every angle Saturday and winning 90. Chicago made 16 first downs to three for Prince ton and in the early periods ripped the Tiger linesmen wide open with straight football tactics. or the “Big Three” Yale alone came through with a vitN,ry, defeating the Army by the margin OF one touchdown. Coach Jones is feeling little more cheerful with each game this season. Ohio State continued her vic torious march by taking the meas ure of Michigan 14–⁠0. The Buck eve eleven played good football all the way and deserved to gain the decision. Michigan is eliminated from the Western Conference race BY reason OF the defeat, Ohio and Chicago being deadloeked for the leadership. s’n Wei, don’t forget the game tomorrow afternoon at South Side park between the two high schools OF the city for the ‘grtdiron cham plonship OF this mans town. If you don’t care for football come out ANYHOW. Come out to see the three otficlals-Ward (Horse) iLanhan, Charles Hodges, and Shell johnson. All aboard. Tie Mountaineers, young and old, are going to have the great est “set-together” in MorgantoEn when Wash-Jeff plays there Thanksgiving day, that has ever been held for any purpose or on any occasion in the Mountain state.

This set the Ohio State rooters wild and the Michigan rooters began to feel themselves slipping and quite number of them left the field before the game was half over. | In the second half the Ohio State team made several complete forward passes and line plunges that took the ball within a few feet of Michigan goal line, the 9rd quarter ended and when the 4th quarter started it just took the Buckeyes 80 seconds to put the ball across the goal. The showing of the Wolverine team was disappointment to the spectators and by the time the last quarter was we’ll started the Michigan rooters began to leave and by the time the game, was finished there were only very few left in the stands. The crowd was estimated at as 1000 and it was an ideal day.
