Speakers Express Confidence in Team;

Audience
Hill auditorium, crowded from main
floor to second balcony,, last night
echoed and re-echoed to the defening
cheers which signalized the monster
mass meeting held on the eve of the
battle with Pennsylvania. The Varsity
band aided in producing the pep on the
part of the audience which was at all
times in evidence. Harold O'Brien,
'17, of the Varsity track team, officiated
as chairman.
The first speaker on the program,
Shirley W. Smith, secretary of the
University, opened fire with a number
of witty stories directly applicable to
today's game, and rehearsed the past
performances of the team which in-
dicated a decisive victory over the
Quaker rivals.
Ed Shields. ex-varsity baseball
player, next occupied the platform,
telling the team what was expected of
them, as well as assuring the student
body that their hearty support upon
Ferry field would not be amiss, declar-
ing that the stands play almost as
great a part in the winning of the
game as the gridiron warriors them-
selves.
Previous Victory Described.
"Vic" Pattengill vividly described
the defeat of the Philadelphians at the
hands of the 1909 squad that repre-
sented the Maize and Blue. He spoke
of the early-season defeats that had
rendered victory hopeless, and how
from the first whistle until the last, the
fighting spirit of Michigaw battled
against all odds and succeeded in
bringing back a 12 to 6 score in their
favor. Declaring that he was about
to satisfy an old longing to lead a lo-
comotive, the alumnus assumed the
role of cheer leader, raising the en-

"when I have had a better squad of
men in training. I am told Coach Fol-
well has assured the Pennsylvanians
that he will 'bring home the bacon'
tomorrow, but he will have some time
catching the pig."
Following the singing of "The Yel-
low and Blue," Tommy Hughitt, late
of the Varsity squad, Captain Maul-
betsch, and Trainer Tuthill responded
to repeated calls, each making a num-
ber of pertinent remarks regarding the
game, and assuring the team that the
student body was ever behind it.
Slides showing members of the team
were thrown upon the screen, each
picture being loudly cheered by the
audience led by Bob Bennett. During
the program, the band rendered a
number of the old Michigan war songs,
while the Glee club assisted in the re-
vival of "Laudes Atoue Carmina," ac-.
companied by the audience.

and the music of the band, about 500
Michigan rooters started from Uni-

o'clock and marched down State street
to Ferry field where the twilight pep

crowd had reached the field the num-
ber had swelled to at least a hundred
more, all walking four abreast, sing-
ing and cheering.
Upon reaching the field the band
struck up the "Victors" and marched
to the north side of the gridiron. The

Wolverine opposes Quaker on the
gridiron this afternoon for the twelfth
time since 1899. Since 1906 yearly
games have been the habit of the two
institutions. In these Penn has been
returned the victor on five occasions,
Michigan on four. Two contests were
scoreless ties.
Both camps last night breathed con-
fidence of the outcome. Both coaches
expressed beliefs of victory.
Michigan's sundown practice of the
year was a light one. S'gnals, kicking
and passing comprised the entirety of
short workouts for the Yostmen. Fol-
well's men in Detroit held forth at the
Country club, and the same regard for
none of the strenuosities prevailed.
The Penn team will remain in De-
troit this morning, arri,,ing at the
scene of battle just before the game
is called.
Pennsy Lineup Uncertain.
Folwell last night had not given out
the exact lineup which will represent
the invaders in the big intersectional
battle. It is believed that the new
coach will use Berry, Light, Derr, and
Bell as his backfield, although eleventh
hour shifts are not unexpected. Wirk-
man is believed to,have the call over
Estevaag as left guard for the Broth-
erly Love boys. If Berry starts he
will do the punting for Folwell's
huskies.
Sparks will probably divide a portion
of the punting with Dianne. The Wol-
verine advantage inrthis nay be real-
ized, for Sparks from the booter's
position can threaten the Quakers with
a punt, a pass, or an attempted gain
in lugging the leather himself.
Early in the week after the snow
had covered the field, it was feared
that the going for the big game would
be unsteady. Such would have seri-
ously interferred with the passing
game and the open work of the Wol-
verines. The weather of the past two
days has softened the gridiron and
from appearances the field will be
springy, but not slippery.
Michigan Outweighs Opponents.
In weights the Yostmen have a small
margin upon the contenders from the
east, but not enough to make the dif-
ference shift the balance of the game
in favor of the home, team.
The largest crowd which ever
marched through Ferry field gates will
see the game, according to the athletic
association. Director of Athletics
Bartelme predicts that 28,000 people
will crowd through the turnstiles for
the final appearance of Captain Maul-
betsch in a Wolverine moleskin. The
largest previous crowd was at the
Minnesota-Michigan contest in 1910. It
numbered 25,000.
