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 I * Games played-11 Won, by * _ !ichigan, 4; by Pennsylvania 5; ti f!edJ, 2. Points scored, by Mich-* igan, 101; by Pennsylvania, 108. * Today's game with Pennsylvania was unusually interesting from a sta- tistical point of view, in that the Wol- verines were given a chance this after- noon to tie up the all-time record with 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.

Come in and see them. 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. 713 East University the Quakers, a record that has been t Iencounters. 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. i 1 i CaptivalingChocolates Bonbons, Creams, Marshmallows, Wafers, Bitter Sweets, Caramels, and all the good kinds of confectionery, when furnished by US, are always sure to be fresh, tempting, delicious and refreshing.
