...staging of the opera was splendid; 'Devil's Rock at the Cave Entrance' was as well built, and as aptly realistic as any piece of scenery ever set in place behind the lights of that house; which is saying a good deal.

Michigan sent Ferbert and Senter through tackles, but failed to gain and so punted. The ball hardly rose from the ground and Frank Shaw neatly fell on it. Time was called while Cabot was taken from the field and Moulton substituted at end. Harvard again kicked and Michigan tried to return...
