'TESD)AY, NOVEMBERt 1f.6,1926 THE MICIANMfAILY P A0(TE NWV N ON THE SIDELINI, FAMOUS TROPHY TO BE AT STAKE AGAIN SATURDAY 1PDI iirjj jj Por w ~i Bro an1 e IdThIeP ,DlI2114, an' yor4 'OU aw.a t 'i3 elfh tle F "'11,lie h tied . tl se e e That game of all games, Michigan As one coach put it, "There was only versus Ohio Sftate at Columbus Satur- one point difference between the two dlay was not the greatest game of foot- teams, and thati difference is personi- ball that has been played, but it cer- fled in Friedman." Friedman never tainly had all the two gun~, stuff to hadilbetter accuracy in his passing, make it one of the greatest and most two of his passes ending in Michigan ,spectacular exhibitions of football touchdowns. lHe place kiczced for the ever staged . It had more action, more extra p~oint after each touchdown and exciting moment;, and more sensa-, made the greatest individual play of tional breaks than the Battle of the j the game when he place kicked from Marne. If a spectator paid fifty dol-( the 43 yard line to tie the score at the lars for seat he ought to feel that' end of the first half. he cheated the athletic association on the value of the pasteboard. TIwo of the biest teams In thle Conference battled furiously for the righit to remain in th1w:Big: Ten) title race and never did they slacken the - furious pace.. When (lark missed that last kick after touchdown the hearts of the )lichigan fants began to beat again, but not evenly. Ohio had two uiinutes in which to mnake another score, anid no sane manl would deny that they had the fight and the determination.. The winner of that game was not actually d0- termnined until the referee said the game was over and Ohio was forc- ed to give up the ghost. Marek, the Ohio State halfback who fumbled the ball on his own 6 yard line near the end of the 'third quarter, will be greatly criticised for his mis- play. The play on "which he gave Michigan an opportunity to score a touchdown was one of those hero plays,-if you complete it ,you are the idol of the campus, but if you miscue you ride a long hairy goat. With the score tied 10, to 10, Gilbert made a -wonderful punt from midfield, the ball rolling to the opposite corner of the field near the Ohio goal line. Marek let the ball roll, thinking that it would go over the line, but in- stead, the ball bounced back. Then, lairek, like a flash, raced after the ball, attempting to scoop it up on the run. lie was just about toI wrap his hands round the ball, when Gabel and Baer tackled him. Tlhey hit him with such impact that hie fumbled and Dewey re- Scovered the ball for Michigan on Ohio's 6 yard line. Marek will undoubtedy be consider- ed as a "Merkle" but after all, it was just one of those unfortunate plays,- do or die. Marek's career .may be ruined by that one play, because he was not given a chance to, reclaim himself. Coach Wilce withdrew him and sent in the popular Eby. rThe two Benies, Messrs. Oos- terbaan and Friedman, Inc., uii- questionably played the best gamnes of their careers. Ooster- baan was every place Saturday, on tihe offense lie ran with the bail, threw forward passes and was a mighty figure on the receiving end. Defensively, he was stroniger than lie has ever been. Few spec- tators in that mob of 95,000, can forget the play when Oosterbaan cleared three Ohio players out the way and ran Grim outside. Grinm gaining only one yard after he had run all the way from the other sideline. 1 i I I Friedmian took a chance in at- Stemapting to kick fromi that dis- jtance btut lie was~ determined, and succeeded. Hie Iold his teamu be- Sfore hie tried thiat he would be succes sfuil"--ot cock: suzre, but confident. The kick. was nmedan- Sically perfect,1 Kicking' frown the 42 yard line andi from a difficult angle, lie sent the ball directly; to Sits mark, passing' aboiut four feet Iabove the cross bar and .directly in the center of the goal posts. Coach Yost said 'yesterdayf that he nlever saw a mail kick "for coverage" like Bell, Ohio's passing and kicking end. His punts soared high into the sky and when they came down to earth, the whole Ohio team was there to greet them. Friedman handled the punts well except for the first one,"lbut found that running them back was al- most an impossibility. TlheeIfess-Lovette duel was a great battle from start to -finish. Both me~n played superb football In tihe lines, and were often seen 'bringing the ball carrier down with sensational tackles. Dewey played the greatest game of his 'career for Mfichigan, and proved that lie Is unlquestionab~ly one of{ the strongest linemen on thne team. His work In opening up holes, his work in covering punts, and fierce taackling, made '1im a star. Gilbert, in spite of the fact that hie lost the ball on his own 11 yard lin~e, was one of the high lights in the game. Gilbert's passing, kicking and run- ning, and tackling, marked him an outstanding player. On two or three occasions hie brought the crowd to its feet by spectacular tackles. At the close of the game, we .had the opp~ortunity to talk with the coach who scouted the game for Iinnesota. In commenting ona the Michigan team, he said, "M3ich- igamu is not a great team, but it Is just too smiart." In his opinion, Minnesota is twice as strong as it was at the beginning of the sea- son, and that the Gophers prom- ise the Wolverines "a -very inter- esting afternoon" Saturday.
