LOSERS ARE OUTPLAYED COLUMBUS; Ohio. Oct. 21.-7-Before a crowd of 10000 persons here to-day the Michigan football team defeated the eleven of Ohio State by a score Of 19 to 0. Michigan made two touch downs, from one of which aNgoal was kicked, and scored on place kick and a drop kick from the field. f!i |. It may truly be said that Yosts Wolverines got the breaks. Roby. one Of their best backs, is nursing broken arm to- night. and vandervoort, their regular right tackle, has a broken leg. The injuries came in the first half Of the game :apd both men will be out for isthe, remainder Of .the season. as Capt. Goebel also retired from the fray with a slightly sprained ankle, it may be seen that the Michigan victory was dearly won. The greatest crowd which has ever outside of the Yale bowl was gathered here to open Ohio States new stadium. At least the opening was advertised foic Ohio State, but Kipke, the little Michigan halfback, appeared to think | that the celebration was in his honor and that somebody was opening some thing especially for his benefit. His teammates did their best to further ! this idea in his mind, making not one but many openings through which he | dashed and plunged and squirmed for | substantial gains. When there was no opening he merely ran around and threw the various players who were | fiercely endeavoring to attack him. starts in, second Period. 1t was in the second period that Kipke really started to make himself objectfonable t all Inhabitants OF the Buck eye. State who had come out antici- / pating pleasant afternoon entertain ment. Previously Goebel had scored three points for Michigan with place / kick from the 30-yard line in the first | quarter, but that was an advantage which might have been easily overcome. Kirke. on a double pass, lodged his way around Ohio’s right end for twen- -ty-five yards and touchdown. When Goebel kicked the goal, Michigan’s lead began to assume substantial proportions but Kirke was not yet through. = ! In the third period. he intercepted a forward pass and Re zigzagged his way ! thirty eight yards to another touchdown. I This time Goebel missed the goal. II may have cen this which induced Kipkc to try little kicking himself. At any rate he kept on celebrating and J. toward the end, OF the fourth period l,drcp kicked a goal from the 3’-yard line, thus completing thoroughly sat lgisfactory afternoon. No football battle ever played exceeded this one in color and enthusiasm. The flower of the West was here to-day and the feminine flowers wore their gayest colors. There we’re Governors and Sena- | tors and football writer’s such as Walter Camp and correspondents from almost every paper between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. The weather man provided a lovely Indian summer day and these co-educational institutions provided even more lovely spectators ! than is usual at a big football game. The very size OF the crowd made, the spectacle wonderful one. Just to Visualize. ! II YOU wish to visualize the stadium, imagine that some giants stood at the ! State house and hurled huge horseshoe | OF concrete and steel three miles due north where 1t fell with it’s open end toward the city. Unlike the structures of it’s kind further East this stadium is a double decker. banked on its western side with an incline almost as steep as that Of the stands at Cambridge ! The excitement centered to be sure, in Columbus, but from there il ran in rio pies to break over every border. The Maize and Blue stronghold was the east ern side Of the field. There sat the ! 1900 students who had travelled from ! Ann Arbor to see the Yost machine ! perform, and there were the rest OF the Michigan cohorts, gathered from all over the country for this event Every means of locomotion had been employed to get here---even the air route. There must have been funy 5000 spec tators in the stands. when an hour AMI a half before game time. the Ohio State band marched on the field. 1t swuig along to halt under the north goal posts which had been wound with Ohio State colors. The Michigan band followef and. took its stand under the. south goal where the uprights had been made 20 | resemble barber poles of maize .ani | blue. . This was tha biggest affair OF its | kind ever held In this part of the coun- | try and the ceremonies were meant TO be impressive and gained their objective The bands marched TO face each-other across the field and then joined TO pro- | ceed to the south end of the stadium where the flagpole stands. Here after President Thompson’s brief address. the flag was raised and battery of the college artillery fired the long salute from three inch guns. Tickets $50 Each. At this time every seat in the huge Enclosure was filled. tickets having YIELDED spectators as much as $50 apiece The space at the open end Of the stadium was crowded with persons standing. Two wooden stands had been lerectcd here but they we’re small. Chairs and benches had been placed on the side lines below tho boxes. laa So w., ------s-- .f@----- a, ~ .t-..,. y.
