M.  A.  C.  CLOSES  GREAT  SEASON 

WITH  A SENSATIONAL  VICTORY 

Grea test  Green  and  White  T eam in  Many  Seasons  Outplays 
and  Defeats Strong Eleven Representing  South 
Dakota to  cOnclude  a  Perfect Record 

Covered  with  considerable  glory 
a nd  some  mud,  the  fighring  aggre 
gation,  which  has so  creditahly  up 
held  the hOllorof  the  Michigan Ag 
ricultural  College  upon  the gridiron 
this  season,  emcrgc(\  from  l;tst  Sat 
urday's  combat  victorious  over  the 
scrappy  clevell 
from  Vermilion, 
Sou th  Dakota.  The final  score was 
19  to  i. though  for  a  long  time  it 
appeared 
like 
those of  the  !llichig:m and  \ViSCOZl 
sin  games  would  be  marked  up.  A 
touchdown  by  Ju lian,  following  a 
strnight  march  from  the  center of 
the field.  served  to  make  the  score 
more  nearly  reprcsentath'e  of  the 
comparative  strength  of 
the  two 
teams.

The  weather  was  anything  but 
agreeable for the last and  higgest of 
our  home  I{ames.  A  heavy  snow, 
which  melted  almost as  it  fell,  last· 
ed  all  throug-h  t he  game,  blLt  fail ed 
to  dampe n  the  ardor of  some  three 
thousand  fans  who  witllcssed 
the 
COIltt:st.  A 
large  !lumber  of  a· 
lumni were in the crowd, and  nearly 
every  nook  and  corner of the  state 
was represented  in  the stands.  Al 
lhough the game  was  long,  ami  the 
snow kept coming down, everybody 
stuck  to  the  finish,  ami  see med  to 
forget  their  bodily  discomforts  in 
watching  the  work  of 
team 
which  is  prominently  considered  in 
all  discussions  regarding  western 
superioritr· 

the 

Before  t he  game  star ted)  it  was 
assured  that the  fi eld  would besuffi· 
ciently  weI  to  preclude  the  possibil. 
ity  of  any  catchy  plays  by  either 
team.  This was  the  case,  the  only 
e)(ample of open  work  to  be  used 
being  the  forward  pass,  which  was 
workedsuccessfullv by both elen:ns. 
The  1 '1.  A.  C.  team  lOok  the  field 
at  2  o'clock,  and  was  immediatdy 
followed  by  the  Coyotes.  South 
Dakota won  the  toss,  and  chos~  to 
defend  the south  goa\.  This  gave 
them  what  little  wind  there  was. 
M.  A.  C.  took  the  Ilorth  goa!  and 
prepared  to  re-:eive the  kick-off. 

Julian,  in  h is  customllry  role  of 
slar,  p roceeded  to  get  action  the 
first  thing .  Receiving  Ferguson's 
kickoff,  he  ran  the  ball  th rough  the 
entire  South  Dakota  team,  making 
65  yards, and  pl acing  the  ball  on 
Dakota's 20.yard  line  before  being 
stopped.  Here  things  stopped  for 
a  time,  the  Aggies  being  unable  10 
gain, and  the  ball  went  to  the  Coy 
otes  Oil  downs.  Afte r  th ree  futil e 
attacks on  our  line,  Ferguson punt· 
cd  to  Gauthier,  on  the  M.  A. C .  45-' 
yard  line.  Not  being able  to  gain, 
M.  A.  C.  kicked  again  and  Blake 
recovered  the  pu nt,  which 
Miller 
was  fu mbled . 
It was  our  ball  on 
the  Dakota  :w-ya~ line  again,  but, 

as before, the ball was lost on downs. 
Fetguson  kicked 
to  Gaut.hier  on 
Dakota's 45.)'ard  line. 

jUl3t 

then.  B. 

T wo  long  runs  by  Leonardson 
and  Blake 11 ille r, a couple of attacks 
on  the line  by  Blacklock  and  Julian 
put the  ball  on  the visitor's five-yard 
line.  The  c rowd  was  howling for 
a  touchdown,  but  i ~  was  not  to  be 
had 
i\l iller  was 
th rown fora  to-yard  loss, and  Vidaf 
forward  pass  and 
intercepted  a 
ca rried  the ball  to  his  25-Yllrd  line. 
Dakota  sho wed  a  flash  of offensive 
form  he re, and  carrit!d  the  ball  to 
the  cente r  of  the  field.  M.  A.  C . 
held,  and  Ferguson  punted outside, 
giving  1\1.  A.  C.  the  ball  011 
their 
own 40·yard  line. 

Just about  herc,  Capt.  Brown, of 
the  \Yesterncrs',  attempted  to  end 
Blake  Miller's  wor~ for  the  day  by 
jumping  on  the  plucky  cnd  as  he 
lay  on  the  g round .  T he  act  was 
seen  by  the  officials,  and  Capt. 
Brown  finished  the game as  specla· 
tor. 
Incidentally,  Da};;ota  was  peo  
lll izc(1  half  the distance  to their goal, 
and  M.  A .  C.  bad  the  ball.  Miller 
gamely  stayed  in  the  game, though 
plainly s uffering  gre:lt pain.  Short 
ly  after,  he  caught  a  forward  pass, 
nctting- IS ya rds; Julian, in a  mig-hty 
plunge  put  the  hall  011  the  one-yard 
line,  and  Gauthier  took  it  ove r  for 
the  first  touchdown.  Gifford  failed 
to  kick  goal  and  the score  ,>vas  M. 
A.  C . 6,  South  D,lkotll  o. 

Nothing th rilling  occu rred  during 
the  rem:lincler  of 
the  first  period, 
nor  until  well  along  into the second. 
~eithet  team  eould  gain  consist· 
ently, and  exchall~cs of  punts  were 
frequen t.  As a  rule,  M.  A.  C.  was 
the gainer ill  this depanment, Lcon 
ardson  outpunting  F e rguson,  and 
our eods stopping the  Dakota backs 
almost  in  their  tracks  without  fail. 
Gauthier,  on  the  other  hund,  suc 
ceeded  in  making  several  substan 
tial  returns.  This  punting  game 
was  finally  to  spell  the downfall  of 
Dakota,  for  Gauthie r  caugh t  one on 
their 25-yard  line.  A  fo r ward  pass 
to .H cn ning  netted  10 yards, and  put 
the  blll1  o n  DlikOla's  lO·yard  line. 
Julian, ill  three successive attacks on 
the line, put the  leather ove r for  our 
second  s.C-ore.  Gifford  again  failed 
to  k ick  goal, a nd  the  score was  t 2 
to 0  in  favor  of  M.  A.  C. 

This  ended  the  scoring  for  the 
Aggies  until  the  very  final  minu te 
of  play.  The  Westerners  had  no t 
yet started,  though  the c rmwl  soon 
began  to  experience 
the  peculiar 
sensation  which  has been  found  to 
accompany  12  to  7  scores  when  the 
othe r  team  is  making a  game fight.

A  REMARKABLE  CLASS. 

The story  published  last weck te 
garding  the 
IlI111iversllry  of  1873 
brought out another  intcresting fact 
regarding  one  of  the  early  classes 
of  M.  A.  C., a  class  remarkable  for 
the  longevity of its  members. 

Five  men  were  graduated  in  the 
class  of  1867.  Of  those  five,  every 
onc is  alivc  llud active  at the  presellt 
tinltl.  T heir  I1:lmes  arc as  follows: 
L. A.  H urlbut, erescellt City, Fla . ; 
Ex-Senator  Ht'nry  H.  Jcnison,  of 
eagle,  Mich.;  A.  C.  Prutznlan, 
Three  Rivers,  j\'lich.,  Dr.  \Y.  \V. 
Trilcy,  of  \Vashington,  O.  C., lind 
Daniel  Strange,  of  Grand  Rapids, 
Mich. 

Un less  we  arc  mistaken,  Ihe 
membcrs  o f  lhe  preceding  class 
have  all  passed  on,  while  the  next 
class less  than  half  arc  still  living.

Dear Sir :-1  W;UH  to  s;ry  two  o r 
three things as ' expressing  my  part

[  am  heartily  in  favor  of the  sug

stated the matter  SO  well  that  little,

shoultllike to  see such' adepartment

A  CRYING  NEED 

The  gathering  of  alumni 

last 
week  disclosed  one  g reat  need  of 
the association  at  the college, a  need 
which  we  hope  will  he  remedied  in 
the very  near  fuhlrc. 
I t  is the want 
of  a  rest  room, o r  reception  room, 
ccntrally  located,  nt  which  thc  vis· 
itors  could  gather  to  while  ftWay  n 
few  minu tes or all  hour, and  at  the 
same  time  Illt'ct  other  alulllni  :LIld 
find  out what is  what. 

Discussion  of 

this  point  with 
some  of  the  oldcr  men  who  werc 
bere  brought out a  great  unanimity 
of  opinion  on  the  subject.  Every 
one agrel.oO  that it  would  be just the 
thing, and  all  expressed  the  hope 
that 
it  would  be  brought  about 
before  long. 

There  are  many  OCCllSiollS  Whell

dange rous. 

:\1.  A. C. had  been  working along 
pretty  well  in  the  third  session, and 
had  the ball  close  to  Dakota's  line. 
A  forw:lrd  pass  was  trit'd,  but was 
illterceptcd  by  Rowe,  who  showed 
a  burst  of  speed  lind.  with  a  denr

he  tackled  Row e  on  our  :lo·yard 
line,  completing  one  of  the  most 
sensational  pbrs of  the season.

and,  as  the),  showed  some  more  at

many  things  might happen. 

The  last  quarter  was  a  punting 
duel,  T he field  had become so wet,

team  cou ld  gain  by  straight  wo r k, 
aud  each  played  for  the  adnllltage

opposition.  M.  A .  C.  fared  better 
than  Dnkotn in  these exchanges, and 
our gains  w e re  materially  increased 
by three long  end  runs  by  Leona rd·

starting  from  II  punt  formation  and 
reeling  off  twenty  or  thirty  yards 
before  being  stopped.  Each time
