college football team will go with out a game for Saturday which Is 'tauslng great worry with such teams as Kalamazoo college Albion and Olivet coming in rapid order on the schedule Adrian and Hope colleges both have turned down offers to come to Alma for a game Saturday although with vacancies in their schedules Attempts made to schedule the Michigan resh or A scrubs failed and then an attempt to schedule the Mt Pleasant Normal fell through because Uie Normal takes on Ypsl There is an Indication that Coach Helmer will be able to get a mid week game with the Mt Pleasant Normal eleven which Is reported as being a strong one but he hates to leave the Saturday date open He is now planning a hard scrim mage between his first and second teams for Saturday afternoon and will endeavor to keep his men in condition In this way if some team does not come across for a game in a hurry He still feels that there is a great need of polishing up the Maroun and Cream team for the three big I A A games which will come against schools with the strongest teams in their history and plainly the Alma mentor is worried great ly over the present outlook of Alma grabbing two out of the three titu lar

enabled Michigan to beat the University ot Detroit this af ternoon 14 to 3 The aenal play was a good one for Michigan no matter whether It originated with the Wolverines or the Detroiters Two successful tosses by the Maize and Blue peo ple coming together in the third quarter were responsible for one touchdown The interception of one ot the chucks in the second chap ter previously had made another possible Thus with two goals kicked by Weimann after the ball had been toted across the goal line the 14 points were achieved by the winners The Jef ferson avenue folks scored one field goal a pretty drop kick by Halfback Allen being the means of attaining it Later the visitors came within a foot of a touchdown Michigan holding them for downs on the very threshold of the final chalk stripe and thus terminat ing march of nearly SO yards It was an erratic scrappy and in teresting game with the Detroit eleven by nu means so badly beaten as the score would Indicate In fact when it came to carrying the ball from scrimmage the of outfit distinctly outplayed the Wol verines I making 13 first down agatnst five The Invaders had Mich igan on the run In most of the third and In all of the fourth quarter and It they hadn't let pupils get such a start before beginning to play real football would have been mighty troublesome Bad Headwork Shown Bad headwork by Quarterback ttdwards and fumbling by this player and the other backs hurt the if Irreparably Edwards who lacks experience In important games and who really did some splendid all around work In this one need not be too severely cen sured hie was in a tough spot for a youngster and he just happened to guess wrong a couple ot times On other occasions his generalship Was excellent The fatal mistakes would have been considered master pieces of strategy If they had worked He pulled a real Zimmer man in the second quarter when he called for a forward pass fruin bls own 2O yard Una and the ball was 1 Intercepted by roemke who carried it to within three yards ot the prom ised land Weimann took It over on the first plunge excuse for this unorthodox play was that a similar one had worked well earlier In the game But it was un i expected that time and Michigan was ready for the encore The Detroiters seemed to suffer from stage fright in the early por tion of the gams doubtless attrib utable In part to the fact that they had not played a real game before this one A football team needs brisk competition to bring It to a feather edgs and the only fighting Puffy's men had encountered since the season began was

fight and never slackened their pace from whistle to whistle In the latter part ot the contest they were demonstrating themselves su pertor to Michigan In condition a fact not surprising In view of the early date selected for the begin ning of practice on Jefferson avenue and tho late start of Michigan's i training season But the Wolverines I offset this by their greater experi ence In
