...Saturday by a score of 4 to 0. At the beginning of the first half Michigan started out well and played a strong offensive game, frequently making runs of ten yards. Whenever Harvard got the ball Brewer punted and then the Michigan team would gradually work its way back again until it lost the ball again for off-side play or holding in the line.

Brewer kicked and Bloomington caught on Michigan's 35 yard line. Bloomington tried to kick, but the ball...

The run out was along Massachusetts avenue through Lexington, the return being made by way of Waverly and Belmont. Most of the return home was down grade and consequently a very brisk pace was set. Captain Burdette had charge of the men. Next Friday there will be a road race...
