  nv PAUL \ aRuskE. opponent. OF unexpected strength, Yost’s Michigan football eleven had TO learn enc Of the lessons Saturday that Is acquired only by the experience to be gained on the battlefield. II hal to learn to play the game on onens” without the use OF hands, relying on shoulder and hip to detain and ham per opponents from breaking through It’s q lesson that is probably harde for a green team 10 learn than an other. All the instincts rebel at IL. HANDS ARE MANS NORMAL MEANS FOR SUCH WORK. The green, willing giants on Yosts line forgot the admonitions OF their tutor and held Ohio 10 such an extent that rigid application OF penalties TOOK away the distance they were steadily gaining, about as fast as they got 1t. For while In the early stages or the game Michigan was penalized a. the rate OF ten yards a minute. The fact that the team retained the ball nearly all the time In spite OF such terrific handIcaps shows that the estimate put on the abl- several days ago was not bit too high. Holding undoubtedly cost Michigan one and probably two touchdowns. BUT THE MAIZE AND BLUE WAS LEARNING IT’S LITTLE STUNT and. IN the last half the penalties were fewer. Michigan trimmed Ohio by score OF 10 TO s, Ohio’s one touchdown being the result of clearly missed tackle by Ranney and Wasmund-an AFFAIR which. so far as the little quarter Is concerned, does not happen often and may not occur again this season. Outside the holding and the accident allrded TO above, Michigan played pow erful football, pulled of several start ling forward passes, hit the line hard and showed In Ailerdice a pdnter o. FIRST class ability, as well as a goal kicker OF accuracy and strength. IL fact. il was the Hoosier lad who kicked Michigan’s first goal in the first half and contributed the touchdown that won IT, the second. bucking for three yards through between guard and tackle. Michigan will be a greatly i’m proved team against Vanderbilt at Ann Arbor on Saturday or the writer is very much in error. From q Michigan standpoint the most interesting game was the one In which Syracuse, Michigan’s Nov. II foe. held Princeton TO 0 TO o tie. Capt. Horr’s men actually outplayed the doughty Tigers and deserve rank well near the top OF the eastern teams, In spite OF their defeat at the hands of the Carlisle Indians earlier in the season, before their team work had been perfected. Princeton was lucky to maintain an un-crossed goal line throughout the contest and only q sensational tackle by Capt Dillon. OF Princeton saved his team. For the first -tinie-iH- three years, Penn succeeded In holding the Car Isle Indians TO an even thing. The braves are not so strong as last year and Penn Is probably u bit better. AT the finish the aborigines were coming fast and Penn was lucky 10 escape, however. The Harvard–Navy 6 TO 6 tie COM pleted a remarkable record OF drawn games in the eastern arena. AS at Princeton and Philadelphia II was the little school which did the better work. This new football is putting teams on q. more even basis and with Increasing regularity we are getting, tie and no-score games where, In former years, we used e have 22 to and similar scores.

  NAVY AND HARVARD TIE scoreless game was the outcome OF a desperate encounter this afternoon between Princeton and Syracuse. Sur prised at the outset by the appear aa,ce OF an eleven which was superior IA weight and attack. Princeton was lucky to escape defeat. Syracuse threatened repeatedly to cross the Princeton goal line while the only opportunity for Princeton TO score came In the first few minutes Of play when Cunningham dropped back for try at goal from the Hello from the thirty yard line. The pass was high and his kick fell short OF the posts. with Captain Horr Of Syracuse car rying the ball, Princeton’s defense Wavered and twice the visitors were on their opponents 15-yard line. In the lrst instance a tumble enabled the home team to punt out Of d&hxer and the second time Prince ton held for downs. Captain Dillon, who went into the contest near the end of the second half. and Tihbott, who relieved Read. . were beginning to reverse conditions when time was called. The rain which fell internationally made accurate passing an uncertainty and few forward passes were tried.

  sity OF Pennsylvania and the Carlisle In dams played each other to a standstill this afternoon, the final score being 6 to 6. The biggest crowd that over saw the annual game between these teams was present, 5000 in all. Pennsylvania scored the first touchdown before the game was ten minutes old. The Indians reversed this in the second half, when they scored as quickly. Penn sylvania had the better of tho argument in the first half, while the Indians had things much their own way in the second period. The much-dreaded Thorpe tried three goals from placement, but all failed. Penn sylvania also tried for one field goal, but Marks missed Il by only a few feet. The wet ball, due TO the rain, which fell all morning and during most of the second half, had much to do with the poor kicking and the fumbling. New foot bah was conspicuous by its sbsence, the game being in direct contrast with most OF the contests between Penn sylvania and the Indians. The forward pass was called into use several times, but did not work well for either team.
