  Pennsylvania Football Team Defeats the Michigan Eleven. THE SCORE WAS II TO 10 BRILLIANT AND POOR PLAYING BY BOTH TEAMS. Princeton Takes In Carlisle Indians By Score of IL to o After Hard Fight-Many Players On Both Sides Injured and Forced to Retire From Game. Philadelphia, Nov. Hin the fiercest game played on Franklin field this year the University of Pennsylvania fooes ball team this afternoon defeated the University of Michigan eleven IL to 10. The game was royal battle from start to finish, and was marked by brilliant and poor playing by both teams. Penn sylvania earned her victory because she had TO play harder for her two touchdowns than did Michigan The Michigan team made most of its gains on runs around Pennsylvania s left end, which was lamentably weak, while Pennsylvania had to gain her ground by fierce plunging through the line The game was a beautiful one for the spectators. Both teams were about as evenly matched as they could be. The Quakers excelled as they could be. The kicking. while Michigan far outplayed Pennsylvania when it came to skirting the ends. Mclean. Michigan’s left halfback. was almost invariably used for end running. The interferences accorded him were almost perfect, and this, in a great measure, helped him in gaining ground. Pennsylvania showed her old time form in line bucking, and Michigan was seldom able to hold the Qua, kers in their terrible plunges with the aid of the guards back. In the Kicking Line. In the kicking line, Coombs. although suffering with a lame shoulder, had no trouble in outpunting Street, who did the kicking for Michigan. The duel between Cunningham and Overfield, the center rushes, was interesting. Both are high class players, and they played with dash that was inspiring. Cum ningham had much the better during the first half but in the second period Overfield, through better staying quail ties. made big holes through Michigan’s center. Both teams fumbled badly and at critical moments. Pennsylvania was the worst offender. and probably would have made another touchdown in the first half had not one of the men let the ball slip through his fingers The Michigan team was frequently penal ICED for off-side playing more than any two teams that have played here this summer. The game, however, was fair and clean one. The game ended with the ball in Pennsylvania possession on Michigan’s orty-five-yard line.
