...Michigan to a 3 to 0 score, a single drop-kick by Splawn saving the day for the bigger team. Brown who defeated Wesleyan last Thursday, will not play gain until next Saturday when she faces Cornell at the Polo Grounds in New York. Pennsylvania State won its fourth straight victory, defeating Ursinus...
Michigan, playing straight old fashioned football, had to fight during every minute of the game to nose out a 3 to 0 victory over the Agricultural College. The game became a plunging duel between Maulbetsch and Julian, and a punting contest between Splawn and Deprato. Statistics show that Michigan gained only 91 yards through the line to her opponents' 98, but had a substantial lead of 70 yards in the punting contest. Hughitt, Michigan's star quarterback, injured his below in the fourth period and will doubtless be out of the game for a month. The withdrawal of Hughitt leaves...
...University football team won an uphill game from Tufts on Saturday by the score of 13 to 6. The line was seriously weakened by the absence of Pennock; and in the backfield Bradlee was the only regular. Tufts, on the other hand, showed unexpected strength at straight football, and presented stubborn oposition to Harvard's attack...
...past two years, at least, no Harvard team has presented such weak resistance to straight rushing. In 1912, Crowther of Brown got away on a slippery field for a run of 45 yards across the Harvard goal; Princeton also scored a touchdown, but on a forward pass. In 1913, a Holy Cross player picked up a fumbled punt with no one between him and the goal. In the Cornell game, the opponents were able to make a touchdown by straight rushes from the 40-yard line, but this was against a substitute line-up, and the only time during...
While the team as a whole is light, averaging about 170 pounds, the line from tackle to tackle is unusually heavy and powerful. The method of attack is varied, ranging from straight plunges against weaker teams to wide end runs and forward passes against the stronger. The backfield has something of Harvard's versatility. Young at fullback is a line plunger hard to stop, while Fleming at right half is particularly good on short end dashes. The offense, however, is centered around Spiegel, one of the speediest men on the gridiron today. He shines brightest on long end runs, usually...
