The Foot-ball Game With Cornell

There were about 600 loyal Michigan students who were not intirnidated by the damp weather on Saturday. The special train consisted of fourteen coaches well filled. One of these coaches was reserved for the 'co-eds," and there were about fifty of them who demonstrated their patriotism by braving the storm. Among the ladies and "co-eds" were Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Dr. Tyler, Mrs. Nightingale, of Chicago, Misses Mills, Randolph, Deán, Dunster, Bement, Study, and the Misses Duffy, and the Misses Douglass. Michigan was taken into Cornell's camp to the tune of 58 to 12. The grounds were favorable to rapid and large scoring, the runner having a decided advantage. The main cause of Michigan's defeat was the very fine blocking of CornelPs rushers. Their line, when the backs would turn the ends, was almost impregnable. Cornell found it was useless to buck Michigan's centre, and abandoned the attempt after a few trials. When Michigan was able to break through Cornell's line of blockers, the runner had gained the necessary five yards or more. Cornell played a superb team game, lining up, snappitg-back, passing and running Hice clock-work, and they carne down on Michigan's rushers something like a whirlwind. The game served as a valuable experience to Michigan, as it revealed our weak points, and gave us an object Íesson in eastern foot-ball. The finest individual work for Cornell was done by Osgood, whose end running was always productive of large gains. Johanson, the left tackle and captain, also did effective work in carrying the ball over the line. Michigan's eleven hasgood reason to congratúlate itself upon scoring twelve points. The touch-downs were won on their merits, the first by abrilliant individual run, and the second by superb rush line work. Michigan is the only team with the exceptionof Bucknelland Princeton, which has scored against Cornell this year. Van Inwagen's run of half the length of the field, through the whole Cornell eleven, was the finest play of the day. Dygert's goal kicking was very fine, and Rittenger's rushing runs very brilliant. The best tackling was undoubtedly done by Dygert, he seeming to be the only one able to down Osgood. Southworth, Pearson and Tupper also did good work in this line. Sherman played a very cool game and gave the signáis with good judgment. But Michigan's strong point was in the rush line. Cornell was utterly unable to withstand the wedge rushes, and Michigan carne very near scoring a third touchdown. Pearson was the only player injured, Michigan being deprived of his services about the middle of the first half. Griffin, who was substituted in his place made some large gains in the second half. Messrs. N. G. Williams, Jr., and James H. McMillan officiated as referee and umpire, They gave comDlete satisfaction to both sides, their decisions being very impartial and given with excellent judgment. It is probable that they will act in the same capacity at Chicago next Satday. The game was devoid of slugging, both captains expressing themselves as hihly pleased with the clean character of the playing. The greatest good feeling prevailed between the two elevens, and the most cordial relations existed between the representatives of the two universities in all the business arrangements. THE GAME.
