Lucky Number
(By IHerman A. August)
Michigan and M. A. C. clashed this
afternoon for the thirteenth time in
their annual gridiron history.
Wolverines and Aggies first lined
up against each other on the football
field in 1898. When this afternoon's
contest started the count gave the
Maize and Blue gridders nine wins,
the Green and White gridders two,
and leaves one game in the scoreless
tie column. In the twelve games
played the Ann Arborites have piled
up a total of 326 points; the Farmers
49.
Michigan Takes First
In 1898 Michigan first met and
white-washed the East Lansing foot-
ballers by a 39 to 0 count. Then fol-
lowed a three-year period of quiet in
the Wolverine-Aggie sector. In 1902
the Farmers came again, played again,
were swamped again-this time the
score-board reading: Michigan, 119;
M. A. C., 0.
The Green and White gridiron glad-
iators then again played the Rip Van
Winkle role for three long years, only
to be awakened from their lethargy to
get the weaker end of a 46 to 0 count
in 1905. More rest, and M. A. C. came
back-in 1908 and held the Yostmen
to a scoreless tie. The Aggie aggre-
gation kept on becoming more form-
idable, and in 1910 the Lansing scrap-
pers were given a regular berth on
the Michigan schedule and began ex-
hibiting a new brand of football. It
was in that contest that M. A. C.
scored on Michigan for the first time.
True the Aggies were beaten, 6 to 3,
but great enough was their satisfac-
tion for they had crossed the goal line
of a team that had held them at bay
for so long.
Next year the Wolverines again al-
lowed the visitors to cross their last
chalk-line, taking nevertheless the
longer end of the final 15 to 3 tabula-
tion. In 1912 the Farmers grew bold-
er still, amassing 7 counters; but the
Yostmen happened to collect 55; and
M. A. C. again journeyed home to weep
and wait.
'13 Game Goes to Michigan
And this time their wait was not in
vain. Nine thousand people were in
the stands in 1913 to see M. A. C.
take its annual dose of medicine at
the hands of Fielding H.'s gridders.
But it happened that the Farmers that
afternoon were feeling unusually well
were in a mood for giving rather than
taking medicine, and when the smoke
of battle cleared the unsuspecting an
over-confident Wolverines found them.
selves beaten, 12 to 7.
In 1914 the rivals clashed in East
Lansing. Here Larry Splawn turne
a "dead-lock" into a 3 to 0 Maize and
Blue victory by putting his talented
toe to work and -booting the spheroi
between the goal-posts from the 20-
yard line.

Then came the fatal fall of 1915.
M. A. C. swooped down upon Ferry
fid, completely out-classed Michigan,
and walked majestically off the grid-
iron to the tune of "The Victors."
When the closing whistle echoed
across the field the final reckoning
was: M. A. C., 24; Michigan, 0.
In 1916 the Lansing lads tried to
repeat, but before a crowd of 22,000,
the Yostmen succeeded in putting
across a field goal and a touchdown,
avenging thus, 9 to 0, in some meas-
ure the humiliation of the previousj
season.
