Not much! The middle of the street was plenty good enough for them And the cars did not go any faster than the students walked either A Rnuli at the Park The four ticket sellers at the grounds had their hands more than full Hun dreds however had fortified them selves with tickets long before they Heft Ann Arbor and these quickly took possession of the most advan tageous positions on the bleachers and if they were uneasy it was not because they did not knowfthe outcome of the game Thescore had already been fixed by hundreds of them at any where from 25 to 200 to 0 and they knew Michigan would not get the small figure The gridiron had been barriered with heavy barbed wire On two sides of it were the grand stand and bleachers and on the north side a sloplng floor had ban erected which would hold a couple of thousand fans Here was the student body were the yell Ing masters inside the barriers beat ing time with hat and cane while their corps outside made things as nideous as possible On De mill was a stand that held nearly three hun dred people but the admission fee did not go into the satchel of tjje ath letic association 1 The bleachers were co ed who was true to her alma mater would think of sitting in the grand stand yesterday She had to get out where "she could wave her flag and voice her feelings if necessary with out her city cousin looking askance The fact that seats cost $1 50 lid not affect her decision for she knew of a dozen city boys who were dying to buy her one air Women nntl alr bay The grand stand was: a pretty sight Every city girl wore a yellow or'blue dress yesterday if she had one and those who did not had enough maize and blue ribbon to conceaDthe fact Chrysunthemums at nity cents each were snatched up with avidity and those that were particularly large and aggressive brought $1 and $1 25 without effort on the part of the men who sold them Outside the stand at the west end of the ground puffing automobiles dapper drags and tall tally hos with gay parties filled in every inch of space allotted to them it was a glorious day an Indian Sum mer day ami as if to chide the thousands for their apparent lack of sympathy for the Carlisle braves and the utter lack of old gold and crimson colors of the visiting warriors Nature had taken their colors for her own Everywhere the leaves were golden or flaming red and as the bright No vember sun kissed them with Its gold en beams they took on a glory that was all their own Yells for the Teams Twenty minutes before 2 the Michigan team appeared and the air was filled with waving flags hats and yells or full five minutes pande monium was let loose Capt Hugh White and a score of sweatered men sprang over the side lines and trotted on the field and began work They practiced passing and running with the 'ball for a few minutes every move of a player being the signal for a burst of cheering from some section of the corner requently a section would burst into a parody on a popular song which said some thing about making go way back and sit for 'the students thought that the Harvard Indian score of 29 0 was going to look like an un paid laundry' mH When the Indians came in the dents let out something that fondly Imagined was an Indian whoop It sounded more like the of a lost soul than a war erv fact It was so bad that the braves did not have a suspicion that it was even a poor imitation But the students were satisfied The aborigines tossed the ball around for fifteen minutes and then they got down to business Minister Wu Snw the Game Minister Wu and bls secretary ar rived shortly after the game began and1 were greeted with much ap plause as they made their way to a box with Gen and Mrs Alger How the crowd yelled when the game started! Then the1 city girls be gan to ask foolish questions and the college boys who had been unwise enough to invite them thought things which they dared not utter Once the Indians held the Michigan 'ads for downs and a groan went up An incorrigible yell master sprang to his feet and thev began to yell: Raw! think just? horrid to taunt them" said pretty glrb who knew dots ofrench but no football Coach Carlisle far as stock was concerned very ell satisfied said he tried to equal the score Har vard made against us and did not succeed although our eleven was made up largely of substitutes If we had had as strong a team as lined upagainst Cornell two weeks ago we should have played Michi gan to a standstill How does Michigan compare with Har vard? Why she is not in the same class so far as the game to day is concerned Harvard would have no trouble in de feating her and I do not think Harvard is as strong as either Yale or Princeton So far as I can judge1 Michigan would stand no show with those big teams down east Michigan has a good team and they made their gains in the first half by the rapidity with which they got off their Still we had been led by reports to expect a stronger team of otir players were new in their positions and they did not get into the game until the second half The game served as a means of trving out several new men for the game with Pennsylvania which we play on the 16th of this' Inasmuch as Warner was quoted as saying that his team would win the fact that they did not may have made him a little provoked and given a flav or to ths above remarks but he was certainly not at all en i thuslastlc over the Michigan eleven tlnually ran out on shouting to his men Costly Immediately Carlisle with ten yards for an Michigan but a moment later and the ball went over to the on a fumble by Carlisle rom 35 yard line the Michigan team carried the ball with the aid of a 15 yard run by Heston to the 10 yard line where a fumble by White again sent hopes of a score glimmer ing Then it was that dusky warriors donned their war paint and decided that if Michigan was going to fumble right along there was no dan ger of their crossing the Carlisle goal line again It was the turning point in the game and from that time on the Indians not only played better ball but the character of the game put up bv seemed to deteriorate Except for a few plays at the begin ning of the second half Michigan did not put up so fast a game and the backs failed to take advantage of all the openings that? were made in the line That Wing Shift Play Before time was called for the half the Indians had made a net gain of 28 yards by the use of a play which was sjmewhat of a surprise to op ponents The half of the line on the opposite end of the line to that about wnicn tne piay was to be directed was shitted over In a body and the whole weight of the team was thus nurled at the Michigan line This gave tin lighter Indian team the advantage oi considerable more weight and it wa some time before Michigan was abl to solve the play successfully enougl to break it up Beaver was the firs olayer to make a gain in this manne and he at appeared as the see and ground gainer bv starting off with a 15 yard run Again and again th? play was used and the ball was the if they did play badly for a minute those boys have called the at tention of the general public to it!" A co cd looked at her compassionate ly but said nothing The team did not seem to take it to heart either for the next minute Snow made a twenty yard run and the fanatic section had another spasmJ There were only hand clappings for the good work of the Indians though one westerner high up in the grand stand could not resist the temptation to let out an Apache yell now and then Ki yi! kl It was the genuine article and 'the Indians down on the field heard it Ani for the Indians One of the braves had a curious way of giving warning of an offside play Everytime he saw a JU of man off side let out a bird note In stantly every Indian stood still and more than once the referee was forced to give ten yards to the Indians be cause of their quickness in obeying the signal The plucky stand of the Carlisle braves in: the last half won them many friends Many op enly expressed 'the hope the Indians would score Time after time as the red men worked their trick play those in the stand burst" into applause There was little or no singing after the game started' The Indians were so fast and tackled so surely that even with the advantage of a couple of touchdowns the students did not feel at all sure so the work of Prof Stanley and the 2000 students who had practiced all' riday afternoon in Uni versity hall went for little After all was over there was no car rying of heroes off the field The crowd decided 1 they must hear from Minister Wu and they gathered about the box where he had witnessed the game with Gen and Mrs Alger and his party and for a speech Minister A ree Press representative had reached the side of Minister Wu at the close'df the game and was asking him for hisimpressions very interesting! Are all games1 like these? Are the other football contests in the country just the same as this to day? Were the men badly Just then the enthusiastic crowd ap proached the grand stand and began to yell: Wu! We want' Wu! Who else will do but Wu! Wu! Wu! Rah! Rah! Rah! Who's all right Meanwhile the distinguished diplo mat was quickly turning his head from General Alger who stood at his right to the crowd of yelling student humanity in front want a said the gen eral "A speech? rom me? I never saw a game before Do they always ask for speeches? Why do they yell must say said Mr Alger and bowing low to the sea of beaming faces on the field in front of him Minister Wu spoke as follows: Minister Congratulations am very glad to be here to day to witness your football game This is the first time I ever saw a gridiron game as you call it although I have now been In your country several years' Not only am I delighted to see feature of American college life you have congratulations that the' victory rests where it does "Go 'on with your victories h' Vic tories In victories in your other life that is soon to come if you win now why should' you not win Again I congratulate you and thank you for the spectacle I have witnessed the like of which I have never seen As Mr Wu turned to sit down he saVv The ree Press representative who had taken every word he had spoken hl These newspaper' men are everywhere! We can say nothing they do not Mr Wit's speech was received with vociferous applause and the erv was then taken up for Gen Alger lie re sponded briefly as follows: have considerable sympathy for the Indians who have struggled so honorably but I knew wanted io win so I brought along the Chinese minister as a Yells of the matter with fell you the matter with Wu He has enjoyed the game as I know I have I sincerely congratu late i 1 Secretary: Comment Mun Yew Chung" secretary inter preter of the 'ChineSe legation who accompanied Minister Wu to Ann Ar bor and who saw the game with Mr party is an old Yale man hav Ing entered with the cliSs of 1883 When'asked his opinion of thegame he said to a ree Pressrepresenta tlve: is the first game I have seen ifl years There are no games in Washington and I have enjoyed this one very much I miss the flying wedge formations but the kicking features more than make up for it and to mv mind render the spectacle more inter estlng I expected a larger score and thought Michigan should1 have done more In the second half I am 1 glad the result was as favorable as A The result was some what on the whole rather a surprise There can be no doubt that the' many thousand admirers of the maize and blue pigskiil chasers expected a bigger score Why! Harvard beat the Indians 29 to 0 and the visions of what would happen if aggregation could only make an inva sion of eastern territory this year have been among the most pleasant con templations? Michigan men have had in years It is true it was a Shut out There is still the possibility that Capt White's men may end year with a complete list of whitewash? scores for their opponents but why this one have been just a little big ger? It was only a matter of he size of the score every one knew that would be the case yet why in the sec ond half did Michigan slacken her pace and leave the' impression after all that the Indians weakened by the loss of several of their best men put up a magnificent battle and fought throughout most pluckily? outweighed' them but they were devils on is the way Captain up Sie game and that is a fair summary of the tifty five minute struggle bn the improvised Bennett park gridiron perhaps with the addition thqj: in quickness of for mation rapidity of execution and ef fectiveness of line? bucking Michigan was the superior But where were hose long end runs? Those clever criss cross passes of theBuffalo game? Those thrilling breaks 'through the line and splendid gains before tackling that have been seen in Michigan game iithus far? Perhaps it was the warm afternoon perhaps it was slight embarrassment before the big crowd pf spectators perhaps it was in a way an underesti mation of the red men from' Carlisle more than all it was the splendid tackling of the Indians Tn this even Michigan partisans accorded them su periority and due to this the score was as small as it was" Red Men on the Defensive The red men were on the defensive throughout Not once was the Michi gan goal in the least danger It was seen within the first few minutes of play that the superior weight of Mich igan must tell in the end and with per haps five exceptions all attempts to buck the Michigan line were unavail ing and simple end runs netted small or no gains at all The Carlisle full back however never failed in his de fensive punt anj many times on the second down that play was for them the only one in the least bit feasible to make Wing Shift Hay One play of the Indians however had the men from Michigan almost frantic and on several repetitions re sulted in neat gains around both ends It was a beautiful formation to watch from the grandstand the men assum ing their positions like clockwork and running with double line interference Too frequent use of the play however gave the Wolverines the secret and repeated trials with this as with the rest of the plays were most discourag ing Although the halves were to be but twenty seven minutes each the actual time from the first call of the um whistle to the announcement was something over two hours the difference besides the ten minute intermissionbeing due to de lays through injuries to plavers Many Men Injured Probably no 'game was ever seen in Detroit with more time out for sprains bruiser and injuries than the one yes terday afternoon or the first time this season a player was taken out of the game In the first half Redden was laid out after a fierce scrimmage and although 'he insisted on resuming his place in the line itz patrick wishing? tobe on the safe side ordered him to the side lines He was soon in his old time spirits however and will not be out of the game even for to practice But there are few Michigan men who to day not wear some black and blue marks 'as a result of the terrific tackling they had to withstand Shoulder Dinlocated The Indians were not quite so' for tunate Johnson Bradley the big left end was caught in several pile ups and finally while' trying to block Snow was thrown to the ground and suffered severe dislocation of the shoulder Dr Cowie of Ann Arbor at tended him? and says he must inDetrolt for two days and can not possibly enter the game again this sea son Yarlock was also sprained badly and was taken off the field but no serious results are expected Schou chuk the plucky Carlisle center from the Aleutian Islands also left the line but it was because Coach Warner believed him to be too much fagged out to keep up 'Both Side umltled' umbling grew to be a tiresome fea ture throughout the game The Indians contributed their share though only once did it cost them the ball while nearly every time the ball rolled from a Michigan hands a clean loss was apparent Especially in the fail ure to handle the punts was the weakness of Michigan lamentable In the punts themselves Michigan was almost outdone for altnough wee ley sent the pigskin farther down the gridiron It was more poorly placed and often netted comnarnrivriv miiii iv Williams for Carlisle punted higher and often an Indian knelt at the feet of the man from Michigan readv to tackle before the ball had dropped into his hands This feature of the game repeated several times was al most laughable and never failed to win applause from the crowd of spec tators Off Side Plays reanent' Michigan was penalized at the out set and once besides in the' Secbnd half lost ten yards for off side plays It yvas thought by many that the In dians were treated to a libera) shower of penalties in the first few minutes of the game partly owing to Warner ccaching them from the side lines and it was due largely to this added to their probable expectation of defeat that they made as poor a showing at the beginning as they did They formed rather slowly and did not seem to out zest into their resistance to Michigan aggression of Started in aat Michigan' however was at ner best tn the first fifteen minutes of the game and visions of a handsome score BOISTEROUS DEMANDS WERE MADE OR A SPEECH MICHIGAN Redden Knight yrhite tackle Moougln ift guard Gregory Center Shorts Hernstein Weeks Heston Ssveeley Snow Michigan 22: Carlisle 0 Wilson Heston Short Goal from Shorts Goals from touchdown Shorts Louts Hinkey Tai Ralph Hoagland Princeton Owens Michigan Paltne' lisle Timekeepers Dr May Michigan isms' Carlisle Time of halves rr'j minutes YOST GUEST HONOR said Yost the genial coach of the of team had rather win by a score of 22 to0 than by the score of i 50 to 5 Two things contribut ed largely to the failure of Michigan to make larger 1 score One vvast tha um I in tho fltst half which was dis 1 astrous and the other was the 1 loss of Redden He is the best' ATI fl in r'Vlai nMTTttw Lr I vvuiiny X144 OIIU UL the best men on the team AVe had no regular substitute to take his place and had To shiftriernstein over to the left end where' he had never played be 1 fore This disarranged the plays and weakened us greatly on offensive work do not think the team was with the swelled head" "and we have no kick on the showing made either Outside' of gains by the twine shift play which worked until Michigan solved It Carlisle could do noth Ing with the Michigan defense and if you noticed it their backs never made any gains when they caught punts Our men were right down bn them The Indians are certainly a great lot of tacklers when we tried ttor go around their right end Hare Sweeley for a pivot swing?
