...versatility Michigan abandoned the open play that has featured her football this year, and humbled her opponents by plunges through the line and outside of the tackles. Maulbetsch, left halfback, crashed through Vanderbilt's defence, time and time again, ripping open her line for long consistent gains.

McKinlock took his place in the backfield, and with Bradlee and Brickley, this combination of heavy men used a closed attack against the scrubs, forming a powerful driving machine...
