The series was exciting till Mize hit the homerun, then it was all over, at least for me. The Stamford Michigan game was a great thrill, for both schools have excellent coaches and also stand out players in various positions. Stanford won the game by a score of 14–⁠7 on straight foot ball which few colleges do now days. One important thing which was the first time since | picked up football some IS years ago, was the defensive team for Stanford getting into huddle at the line of scrimmage before each play and as Michigan came up to the line they Immediately got into their type of defense. This seemed to keep the players, at least the offensive team of Michigan in a quandry as to what Stanford was going to do. The system proved favorable, at least in my viewpoint. 1t looks like more schools would adopt the same sys- TEN. More on this win be covered later. 18th HOLE Due to another scheduled tournament being held, the regular Sum day Big League was cut down to nine holes and as the case usually is, Joey Lopez Jr., mine in row for the young son of the PROF., Glenn Price, Hy Altman and Joe Foley took first prize with point score OF 48. Next Sunday a four-ball tournament viii be held and all players that want TO participate are asked to call the clubhouse and give their name. ~
