VEDDER NEW STADIUM FIELD, Nov. 12-Michigan's fighting Wolver- ine clan swept over the crew manning the ,U. S. Naval Academy gunboat here this afternoon to pound out a victory before a crowd of 87,000 in one of the most colorful of gridiron battles. Navy's mascot, his honor the goat, and Biff and Bennie, the two live Wolverine mascots were in- terested spectators at the headline intersectional contest in the West. It was a perfect day for football and both teams put up a varied at- tack in efforts to settle their grudge dispute. Navy unable to avenge the 54-O defeat on Ferry field two years ago fought desperately, but the 1j, 1 af led SOPHOMORES W ichigan FROM FRESHME n Game SCORE BY QUARTERS 1st 2nd Miller Proves NAVY-606 Backfield Star MICHIGAN - 14 0 oANN AR1BOR WINS FROM~ J SINABYONEPOINT avyMichigamn Sloane ........LE.......

CLASS BANDS PRESENT Large Crowd of Spectators at South Ferry Field Witnesses the Traditional Battle Biting, clawing, and battering their way to victory over the tender year- lings, the sophomore class of the Uni- versity took the measure of the green smeared freshmen in the annual fall games held this morning at South Ferry field. The final score was 3-2 in favor of the class of '30, though the not too decisive victory was gain- ed only after one of the bitterest un- derclass battles in years. The verdant class of '31, more than 500 strong, was first on the field short- ly after 9:30. The sophomores, after keeping their opponents waiting in the cold blasts of the field of combat for about half an hour, strode on to the scene at 10 o'clock, Both classes were resplendent in their war paint-the soplomores red and the freshmen green, and both exhibited alleged bands for the edification of the assem- bled multitude, which numbered near- ly 1,000 persons. Sophomores Score First The sophomores started with a rush, and though outnumbered by more than 100 men they swept through the first two events in decisive fashion. The first contest on the program, the pillow fight, gave the second year men their first point when four of the MOST BITTERLY 'FOUGHT BATTLE IN MANY YEARS FRESHMEN YIELD ONE PILLOW FIGHT AND CANE SPREE FLAG, Gilbert averaged 31 yards on four freshmen were dethroned from the punts and Navy averaged 26 yards on saw-horses, while only three sopho- a like number of tries. ! mores descended before the onslaughts Navy's squad of some 30 odd players of their freshmen antagonists.

The last event on the pro- gram was the flag rush, with the freshmen defending three poles and each flag counting one point. It was only by artful guile that the sopho- mores were able to gain the single flag that spelled victory for them. The trick that won the games for the sophomores was a brilliant piece of strategy. The freshmen gathered around the three poles to defend the flags, while the sophomores withdrew to connive. Of a sudden a wave of red sophomores, with terrific whoops and cheers, swept down from the West on the nearest pole. The freshmen, guileless and Inno- cent, hastened to the defense of the besieged flag, and when their principal forces had been drawn off of the other two poles the main body of the sopho- mores swooped down from the North,
