Your Uncle middle west sea forces are just seven points be hind the 'same land forces when it comes to the game of foot ball At least the way they shaped up on Navin field Saturday afternoon in the first athletic ming ling of' the men of our new army the commissioned officers of Camp Custer and the Jackies of the Lake Bluff training station Blake Miller toted over the score for the future generals and Harry Costello plank ed the ball between the scantlings for the other point Thrta all happened In second section Both lineups were clut tered up with cx coltege sparklers and tn many ways It was as lino an exhibition of the pigskin amusement as you would care to look at The Buttle Creek boys carted more football knowledge nnd displayed a much more power ful and varied attack and seemed to have their offensive in smoother working order than the embryonic admirals Contusion was apparent at times in the Jackie trout and the men seemed to lack the polish which comes with nractlce Ilow i ver the Lake Bluff Outfit is pow drllllng will be a great football machine Both defenses were strong and deadly tackling and pretty blocking characterized the contest from whistle to whlstlgp Hits Picturesque Setting The game had the most plctur csouo aettlnar that has ever been 'furnished a Detroit athletic event Over in the west stand that is to say the 50 cent stand when's the basebailers hold sway were grouped about 400 Jackies their white caps blue uniforms and drab leggings forming a pleasing pie 'ttuie There they were the pick' and flower 'of young American manhood on hand to cheer their mates to victory over the other I branch of their country service 'And cheer they did for all they worth songs sirens locomo tives and other vooal Imitations were showered on their team Then In the intend back of what constitutes ths visiting coup sat several Camp Custer dig Yiltarles In their khaki uniforms 2 icainer putties and now and then appeared a lamb lined Jacket Over on the Navy side lines were Lleuts Angell and Holly in their long coats and flashing braid on the shoulders Just before the athletes poured out on the field for their limbering up capers a flotilla of airplanes probably from the Mt Clemens sta tlon drifted lazily over the park Eight there were In all blood quickened in many a true Ameri cans vlens as he viewed those war birds soaring around up there in the

was nearly 3 when Ref eree Lane queried Captain'Bat'' Smith of the Navy and Cap lain Gardner ot the Ar my as to their preparedness It was in the first quarter that the Navy looked its best The latke Bluff hoys smashed their way to two first downs to the Battle Creek's I one The Army destanccd them on punts nnd runbacks however Harry Costello got near enough on two occasions to take a shut at the uprights although it is a question whether "Paddy" excuse us Lieu tenant Costello ought to have biff ed away at them on his second try as he was on the foe's 35 yard line and had but two yards to go on the fourth down lint then "Cos" Is usually so sure of these hooflngs that ho has grown to believe it better than using up his team with a running attack 'Pat" Smith showed plenty of staff In that opening period In fart he looked like a' wonder all 'through the game but his tackling when he was fresh was ns vicious and deadly as ever looked at "Pat" was behind the only thrust that caused the linesmen to move 1 the sticks toward the Army goal It was In the second stanza that the Camp Custer athletes compiled their only counter Two forward passes were the potent factors In this score CoslollA had been show ering his backs and ends with for wards all through the game and finally Blake Miller grabbed a toss that landed the leather on the Navy's 32 yard stflpo Then Tlfwm son fastened

two teams In the Michigan State Association ootball league have not met defeat these being tho Roses and Bricklayers and they will be matched against each other Sunday at erry field klck oft at 2:30 This game Is naturally attracting a lot of attention as both teams are tied for first place in the league table with Roses showing a slight ly better goal average Each team has won three games and tied one and a win for eitner will give the winner a two point lead over all teams for the first five games of the season Should the score be tied no team can pass them except on goal average but the Corinthi ans have a chance to come up level by winning their match There is little to chouse between the two teams both having a sound defense and some clever players in their forward lines ischbach of Roses and raser of Bricklayers are rated aa two of the best center forwards In the city Bricklayers have a slightly better forward line than their opponents but there is little tn chouse between

Cricketers will fulfil a league engagement and as nnlyne point separates the teams both will be out after the brace the game provides These teams al ubvh put up a strong argument and play hard all

Mich Oct Michigan scored more 'pointi' against A in one hour thi afternoon than she previously had been able to accumulate in four years of battle on the gridiron Likewise she scored twice a many touchdowns in this onegam as she had made in the four tha preceded it victory was assured from the start but thq armers put up such a stubborn resistance in the first three periods that the Maize and Blue shouter weren't half enjoying themselves They wanted to see a' real mass sacre that would completely wip out the memory of the defeats ads ministered to the Yost machine it 1913 and 1915 When the total fins ally mounted to 27 the result of four touchdowns and three goals that accrued therefrom even ther most bloodthirsty of the spectator went home well satisfied The Aggies having nothing that resembled an attack stood not th ghost of a show to win Mlchlgad had them at least tied before th game began and if the visitors had been alloted uninterrupted posse slon of the ball all afternoon they probably have succeeded lt carrying It half the length of th field They did not make a single first down" Once they lacked only six Inches of the required distanc with one more chance to gain It but the flgntlng was then In theid own territory and they cautiously elected to punt Instead Won by Plodding 'Michigan won by steady plodding? rather than by any great brilliancy In her attack Her line so far out classed the forefront pattie that the backs were able find holes consistently and the gained a lot more ground than th size ot the score would Indicate Ex elusive of the four touchdowns th Wolverines negotiated 19 first downs There were comparatively few long runs Weimann once brok through everybody In sight ant lumbered 30 yards for touchdown i and another time reeled oft 25 yards while Weston madesonedaah ot about 35 But for the most part 1 took at least two and often I or four biffs to make up the IQ yards Weston was the most brilliant luminary for Michigan his work la advancing the ball being a very delectable feature of what was othJ erwise rather a dull afternoon Th little quarterback was forever squirming dodging and diving hl way through the Aggies for uses ful gains A vigilant secondary dee fense prevented hts getting clear very often but every time he tooi the ball which was fairly frequents ly he managed to gain Yost will have to think twice about takina this eel llke young man out of thq game when Sparks Is ready for duty! and probably will solve the problent by making Weston a halfback ought to be a star In that position "Tad" Weimann though still very slow In starting gained acres ofl ground by sheer strength The Ag gios seldom could stop his bull llka Assaults on their line short of threo or four yards but only twice did he come through with a gain of length His 30 yard route to 4 touchdown was strewn with mangled bodies of the slain Weight fight and strength' tool him through the entire company though his progress at no time be called fast Stop AU Attacks The Michigan line and ends stop ped absolutely everything that the Aggies showed Not only did I stop the plays but usually smeared them before they got started Th longest gain any armer was abl to make was about eight yards Line plunges end runs and for ward passing werb equally futile The attack just naturally could nol untrack itself A was equipped only wttli a lot ot sand and a good kicker The anners certainly put up scrap several times digging their' cleats right into their own final chalk mark and holding Michigan for downs Tbeir courage is all th more commendable because they must have known early in the day that they couldn't gain any ground themselves and that It was only as question of holding the score down as low as possible Hammes did some fine punting which was ad mlrably covered the two tackles Coryell and rauson getting down the field with the ends or ahead off them Weimann also punted nicely and so good was down tne neio work tnat A did practically nothing In the way of runhacks Thfy Wolverines did very llttl with open football sticking to th gamo for the most part One long forward pass Goetz Genebafh netted a gain of about 25 yards but as A took th ball away on downs right after this It did not have any bearing on th score The armers get away with a single pass though they tried a number Michigan hurried the chucker eo much that he have much of a hhance One time however a long heave to one of th flankers almost resulted In a touch down only tho alertness of one of the Wolverine backs in blocking th ball preventing this achievement Uses Many Substitutes Yost used a small army of sub stltutes particularly In the back field giving almost everybody in uniform a chance In the closing quarter The more subs he sent In the faster the team played how ever two of the touchdowns com ing in the final quarter when tho lineup was thickly strewn with su pernumeraries It took the Wolverines some llttl time to get going their first touch down coming late In the opening pe riod They received a punt on about' their own i5 yard line and started a Smashing attack that with a 23 yard run by Weimann soon placed the ball within striking distance Weston took It over There was no further action until the end of th half The third period brought on touchdown Again the Wolverines' aot a punt in the middle section of the
