FORWARD PASSES GIVE WINNERS TOUCHDOWNS Tvip of Their Own Help to Make Tally and Intercepted Cbucks Bring Another. BY E. A. BATCHELOR. Ann Arbor, Oct.

17. Forward passes enabled Michigan to beat the -University of Detroit this at-ternbon, 14 to 3. Thb. aerial play was a good one for. Michigan, no matter whether it originated with the Wolverines or the Detroiters.

Two successful toaseB'rhy the Maize and Blue peo ple; together in the third Quarter' were responsible for one touchdown. The interception of one of the 'chucks in the second chapter previously had made another possible. Thus, with two goals hicked by "Tad" Weimann after tfco.iball fcad been toted across the goal line, the 14 points were achieved by the winners. The Jef-fersbn. avenue folks scored one field goal, a pretty drop kicfc by Halfback Allen being the means of attaining it.

Later the visitors came within a foot of a touchdown, Michigan holding them for downs oh the very threshold of the final chalk stripe and thus terminating a march of nearly 80 yards. It; was an erratic, scrappy and Interesting game, with tho Dotroit eleven by no means bo badly beaten as the score would Indicate. In XacU.when it came to carrying the ball "from, scriromugc, the U. or D. outfit-distinctly outplayed tho making: 13 Drat down agabsst-flve.

He nulled a real Zimmer man in the second quarter when he tu-uca lor larwara pass iroui his 1 own -20-yard line and the ball was intercepted by Krocmkc, who carried it to "within throo yardB of the promised land. Weimann toolc it over on the 'flrst plunge. I5dwards's excuse for this unorthodox play was thitt a similar one had worked well earlier In tho game. Uut It was uii- expected that time and Mlchigun was ready for the encore.

The Detroltors seemed to suffer from stage fright in the early portion of-' the gnine, doubtless attributable in part Lo the fact that they had not played a real K'niim before this one. A football team needs orisjc competition to nrmg it to a feather- edge and the only fighting Puffy" men had encountered since the season began was the dabby article furnished by Toledo.
