...Michigan Agricultural College opposed the western college with a heavy team. Fighting throughout every minute of a hard game Michigan managed to nose out a 3 to 0 victory. Splawn, the halfback, demonstrated his ability as a drop-kicker by scoring on a pretty field-goal, thus giving his team a victory. Hughitt, the quarterback was injured and without his generalship the team seemed lost...
...downpour of rain alone prevented Yost's charges from running up a much larger score against the southerners. Displaying latent 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. Michigan's attack was stopped once at the twenty-yard line, whereupon Splawn dropped over a pretty field goal...
...rallied in splendid style in the latter part of the game, carrying the ball across the line three times after successions of line plunges, end runs and forward passes. Yale put a crippled team in the field; Wilson, the veteran quarter, was out of the lineup, as was Ainsworth, halfback, Pumpelly, whose knee is again bothering him, and Van Holt, the guard who has been playing as well. Legore and Waite, a 155-pound quarterback, showed up splendidly. Knowles, Yale's best punter was injuries in the early part of the game; it being feared at first that two ribs...
...effort to save him this year because he is a valuable baseball man. Connor, except for his extreme lightness, would probably have the call over both Pidgeon and Talbot. He is faster and handles the ball cleaner. He is also a good ground-gainer and may be used at halfback occasionally. So far Pidgeon's work has been very good. He played some football while at South Boston High and was a valuable member of the team. He is a junior, but this is the first year that he has been out since coming to Bates...
...best of the material that has showed up this season. Gustin '15 is his strongest rival and may get a place on the varsity. He punts well and throws passes better than anyone else on the squad. Dewever, Rankin, Studebaker, Connor, and Kerr are all candidates for halfback, but none of them are as good as the men whose places they are asked to fill. Rankin and Connor are too light but will have to fill in, at right halfback with Studebaker bearing the brunt of the battle...
