In 1911, despite the fact that "Bot-
ties" Thompson had been called home
and "rute" PIontius was out of the
game with a torn muscle, Michigan
again nailed her colors to the eastern
mast, after scoring 11 points to nine
for the Quakers.
The next year Philadelphia came
back after Yost's fighters had the
game apparently stowed away with a
total of 21 points to none for the
Quakers, the men from the east gath-
ering 27 counters.
Craig Scores Two Touchdowns
Nineteen thirteen saw the western-
ers take the upper hand again, when
Jimmy Craig, Michigan's All-American
halfback, made two touchdowns
against the Quakers, for a 13-0 win.
In 1914 Michigan handed the Quak-
ers the worst defeat they ever got in
the west. After Pern ended the first
quarter with a 3 to 0 lead over the
Wolverines, Maulbetsch, then playing
his first year of big football, and Cat-
lett, now coach of the reserves, cut
loose with their line plunges and end
runs, for a total of 34 points, while
Penn was held to her lone field goal.
Last year, with Michigan almost at
the bottom of the football ladder in
the wvest, and with Pennsy occupying
the s'ine position in the east, the rival
teams battled to ascoreless tie, the
second one' in the history of their

Block "N" First
Formed in 1907
Banners Originally Sold to Students;
Athletic Association Gives Out
2200 This Year
The origin of the block "M," the
forming of which has become a tradi-
tion at the largest of Michigan's home
games, is shrouded in mystery. An
examination of the files of the Michi-
gan Daily throws little light on its
beginning.
In the copy of The Daily for Nov.
6, 1907, the following item is found:
"The committee which was appointed
by the directors of the athletic asso-
ciation to devise a color scheme for;
the Pennsylvania game have decidedI
upon a unique plan. A large block
"M" has been laid out in the cheering
sections. Banners yellow on one side
and blue on the other will be on sale
Friday. Every man in the "M" is ex-
pected to hold up his banner yellow..
side out, when the yellmaster calls
for the "M," and the rest outside the'
"M" are to hold up their banners with
the blue side out."
At that time a banner proposed by a
local photographer was accepted and
lie was given charge of the sale of
the banners. A charge- of 15 cents
was made for each one sold, except
those sold before the game, for which
25 cents were charged. At that time
only 1200 flags were used to form the
Thus, as far as can be determined,
the first "M" was shown in 1907. In
1908 the athletic association assumed
the sale of the banners, and, for sev-
eral years after that, each banner was
sold for the nominal sum of ten cents.
At that time it was the custom to show
a variety of "M's" a reversed "M," blue
on yellow background and yellow on
blue background, and even a waving
"M" was tried one year, but these were
finally abandoned, and the yellow "M"
on the blue field has seemingly come
to stay.
This year 2200 banners were printed
and distributed by the athletic asso-
ciation, 1250 blue and 750 yellow, and
it is probable that this number will not
be increased for some years, as the
stand will not admit the forming of a
larger one.
BERRY PENN'S UTILITY PLAYER
Quaker Seldom in Regular Lineup,
But Good for Gains
The position on the Pennsylvania
team occupied by Howard Berry is a
very unusual one because, although
he is one of the most reliable men on
the list, he does not constitute a part
of the regular line-up, as a rule. This
is because he is used by Coach Fol-
well as no other all-round player has
ever been utilized, that is as a pinch-
player. When the Pennsy eleven is
hard pressed and needs some big
gains, Berry is put in as fullback, and
invariably does the work necessary.
He is an excellent open-field player,
for he can be relied upon for a field
goal from the 40-yard line and is also
a good punter. His forward passes
are better than the average and he
can easily outdistance most players
on a field run. He does not last long
in a game but while he is in he is a
wonderful scrapper.
He was called back from the .ex-
ican border where he was enlisted in
the militia. He is not yet in as good
condition as the balance of the team.
Coach Develops
Many New Plays
"Tommy"
"Coach Yost has developed a larger
variety of plays for his team this
year than I have ever seen him use
before," said "Tommy" Hughitt, just
before the big eleven went in to fight
Pennsylvania this afternoon. "He has
utilized more combinations of plays
which require a quick, alert back-
field, and a lot of work by each in-
dividual man.
"It takes a great deal of study for

a coach to work out many of the sys-
tems Yost has introduced in training
his 1916 team, for he must find out
just where each play can be used to
the best advantage. By the appear-
ance of the men on the 'Varsity and
the way in which they handle them-
selves, I know Yost has again been
successful in his product, for this
year's backfield is one of the best
ever seen at Michigan.
"Coach Yost's variety of plays far
outclasses what the eastern coaches
can produce, which means that he has
put more time and study on each
man's adaptability to certain plays.
Another reason for this is that he
changes his tactics so they will be
effective against the particular team
he is next going to meet.

n the making since 1899. Since that
date the two Universities have played
eleven games, the Quakers winning
five, to four for the Michigan eleven,
two ending in scoreless ties.
The first big intersectional battle
betv, een the two teams was played in
Philadelphia, and was lost by Mich-
igan in the last minute of play, when
Pennsy pushed over the winning
touchdown. The Wolverines paved,
the way for this first defeat by getting
75 yards of penalties during the course
of the contest, the final score being
11 tn 10.
Penn 11ins :1900' Gaute
The hooo of the Wolverines' first
defeat stayed with the team in 1906,
's they fell before the Quakers by the
score of 17 to 0.
From this time on, not a year has
elapsed in which there has not been
a Michigan- Pennsylvania encounter.
The Quakers took the measure of the
men of the Maize and Blue the next
two years. In 1907, Bob Folwell, now
(oacIi of the Red and Blue team, play-
ed his last year of football with the
Quakcrs, and was instrumental in
handing the Wolverines the short end
of a 6-0 score.
in 1908, the easterners wound up a
string of victories over their western
rivals by walloping a team of Wol-
verine cripples by the lop-sided count
of 290.
Michigan began to get revenge in
1909. The first eight minutes of play
in the game this year saw Captain
Allerdice cross the blue and red line
for two touchdowns, the game end-
ing 12 to 6 in favor of the Yostmen.
