ROUSER DRUG CO. ™:*'^lf"° AGGIES GAIN MOST GROUND, BUT LOSE THE COUNT TO MICHIGAN. In ope of t he most hotly contested games ever seen oh t he College field, Michigan won from t he Aggies by a score of 3 to 0, before a crowd of over 10,000 spirited spectators. A forward pass in t he last quarter, bringing t he ball to M. A. C.'s 15-yard line, made an easy chance for a drop kick "by Splawn, and t he trick was t u r n ed t h at decided t he game.. It was t he fourth down, a nd previous experience h ad t a u g ht t he Yost men t h at they could n ot m a ke their downs, so t he renowned drop kicker was called for. F r om t he spectators' standpoint t he g a me was un satisfactory, since t he final score did n ot show t he relative strength of t he two teams. Statistics show t h at M. A. C. gained 98 y a r ds on line plunges against Michigan's 91, a nd this in spite of t he much-talked of plunging ability of Maulbetsch. Captain J u l i an was much t he moTe consistent ground-gainer in this department, while the rest of the backfield did about equally well on both sides. E nd r u ns netted t he Aggies a total of 155 yards, while Michigan earned but 18. In r u n n i ng back punts Macklin's m en also excelled, r e t u r n i ng total of 140 yards, t he oval a while Yost's w a r r i o rs made little gain, a nd for t he most p a rt signaled for fair catches r a t h er t h an be. downed in t h e i r - t r a c ks a nd take a chance of fumb- . ling t he ball. A more complete m a s t e ry of forward passing must be credited to t he visitors, a nd their only count came as t he result of a forward pass, which advanced t he ball 25 yards. There were two very disagreeable features of t he game. One of these was t he severe penalizing meted oat by t he officials. M. A. C. w as penalized a total of 85 yards, a nd Michigan 65. Near t he end of t he first half t he ball w as in Michigan t e r r i t o ry all of the time, and it was at t h is time t h at M, A. C. w as most severely penalized. In spite of this," t he ball was advanced to. Michigan's 5-yard line on a series of consistent ground-gaining plays. With two more downs to make their gains, and m o m e n t um t h at would surely have carried t he ball over, t he whistle blew to end t he first half, a nd M. A! C.'s best chance to put t ne ball over was gone. A half more m i n u te to play a nd t he losers now would have been t he vic tors, a nd t he real strength of t he team would be more clearly shown. „-.'. ' In one other department did t he home boys excel, and since not one substitution w as made by Macklin, while only three of Yost's, men played t he whole game through. Only twice was time taken out for M. A. C. men, a nd Michigan men were out repeated ly. There is only praise for t he way "Dutch" Mil ler handled t he team. this w as shown in t he condition of t he m e n, .. twice In the p u n t i ng department DePrato easily equalled Splawn, and with t he excellent r u n n i ng down under p u n ts by t he ends", Miller a nd Chaddock, t he farm ers, were able to gain much ground. However, De P r a to attempted a place kick a nd failed. Smith, on t he line, played a stellar game for t he Aggies, and Cochran, opposite, was easily'Michigan's best long lineman. Hewitt Miller made t he only r un of the game, carrying the ball for a 30-yard gain on a long end run, near t ne end of t he first half. Blacklock made several fine gains through t he line. Blake Miller w as almost entirely responsible for the spehdid r e t u rn of punts on the part of the F a r m ers. He is a wizard at dodging, and is very efficient in following his interference. It was late in the last q u a r t er when Michigan received h er severest blow, after Splawn's drop kick, when C a t l e t t - p u n t ed to Blake a nd he dodged t wo men, b ut a flying tackle It w as soon found by H u g h i tt brought h im down. injured, t h at Michigan's general w as very severely injury his elbow being completely dislocated, which THE M. A. C. RECORD. 7 will probably mean t h at he h as played h is last game for the Maize a nd Blue. This will appreciably lessen Michigan's chances in t he H a r v a rd game, a nd M. A. C. very much regrets t h a t, such an accident h as befallen t h is veteran. The day saw little of t he open sensational play, trials. the Aggies gaining in but two of t he nine Michigan used less often, b ut were suc cessful about half the time, a nd their ability to use it in s, crisis stood them in good stead. Each side used a delayed pass once or twice to advantage. this pass The rivalry between t he two colleges is in no way lessened by S a t u r d a y 's game, a nd loyal supporters of each will look forward to next year's battle with as much eagerness a nd anticipation as this contest provided.
