The Michigan uni versity student bodv was seated on the ( i st side of the field and the Pennsyl vania crowd and the visitors on the west. Around the ends of v the field, f lie bleachers were filled with the over flow and 11th hour crowds. Box cars, house tons and barrels were used for the place o antage by those present in the1 outside. Bad Dav; Good Voices. The dav of the game was as cold as a dog's nose. The crowds from the excursion trains came with sweater mats, overcoats, stocking caps and K.ckinaw coats as protection from the underdone dav. The university students all wore stocking caps, various colors -or the diffeient years, and thev all sat t igether that they could follow the ins.terious gestures of the yell leader. who looked like Billy Adolph, dressed in white trousers and a blue sweater, and veiled like the lower regions. Penn- hania had a wheezy little band and mo veu leaders with wnite sweaters and oveqerown megaphones. But if their to'lowinff ever got a yell out of their s -terns it was never heard at the other . nd of the field. The truth was that Pen n -viva ma had little to root for, as the western ml lege played circles around ih- much touted eastern college team. The Michigaa Spirit. The Michigan spirit" was one of the finest things at the big game. When the student bodv responded to the lanky leader's gestures, they put all the steam into their veils that their boilers would generate. One section of these students sat in such a wav as to form a giant letter "M." which went from the ground to the too of the stand. They waved maize and blue banners .and sang, yelled and" cheered their team on to a 13 to 0 v ictory against the college's old time rival. There is one 'little stunt the rooters do. however, that is not good sportsmanship, and that is to keep as Texas Ready For Notre Dame Team Open Style Play May Be Relied Upon By W. D. ?? The At- USTIX, TEX.. Nov. , AA tention of football fans in the " south and southwest and in many parts of the north and east will center on the game bet-ween Nftre Dame and the University of Texas, at Austin. Thanksgiving day. Trampling over the Kansas Aggies with a score of 46 to 6 last Tuesday, Texas proclaimed herself to be the undisputed champion of the southwest with a vengeance. By comparative scores. Texas has the edge on Nebras ka, which is claiming equal honors with Notre Dame and the Michigan Aggies by its victory over Minnesota. The Cornhuskers won from the Kansas Aggies by a score of 24 to 6, while Texas almost doubled this score and never had its goal line in danger. Playing on a dry field, the Longhorns would have piled up a total of 60 points. The Aggies were helpless to stop the driving runs of Simmons and Daniels, who were handicapped by the muddy field With a firm foothold, this pair of wonderful backs would have never been stopped. The same team that Texas overwhelmed so easily -won from Texas A- & M. by a score of 12 to 0. "If the Kansas Aggies beat A. & 3L, what would we do to A. & M.T was the question propounded by the stu dents after Tuesday's game.

But .the spirit of loyalty to the university inspired this and this same spirit found its finest vent when the college band stood and played the Michigan hymn. Although it was raining a cold, sleety downpour, the students and old grads stood with bared bead while the hvmn was played, although some were a little shy on up holstery on their beans. There were also a few who stooii up, mumbled something for the words of the hymn and tried to get bv as graduates, when they really worked at Siegel's in Detroit. An Improved Game. As for the game .itself, pages of the pink have been taken to describe the different plays and diagrams printed that none but a scientist could under stand. The open game is a vast im provement over the old line-charging and cross-bucking game which , was plaved several Years ago. It was at this game that Michigan beat Pennsyl vania, although the forward pass was most conspicuous by its failure to work more than two times out of 12. " The onlv department in which the eastern team outclassed Michigan was in punt ing, for the Pennsylvania punter booted the ball for at least 10 yards further than the Michigan punter. Repeated at tempts were made at executing the for ward pass by both teams, only to have the ball drop to the ground and put into plav again with an additional down as penalty. Walter Eckersall, the fa mous Chicago football player, refereed the game and covered himself with grime and glorv during the contest. 'After-. the Game. After the game the Michigan students made a rush for the goal posts and fought frantically for the colors of the two colleges, which were wrapped about the posts. Then they tore up the goals themselves and marched through the town in goose step with these trophies in the proud arms of a double dozen collegians. The night after the game, there was not a barber pole to be found in Ann Arbor, for the students burned them all and considerable other real property in the fires which were made in celebration of the victory. Five were arrested bv the police for raiding a thea ter and spent the night in fail. Grand as was the game, the crew with its. rooting, jum! singing and the. playera in their moleskins, there was a little "dosf stand under the grandstand which was run bv an Italian which was the supreme essence of finesse. The day was cold and dark and dreary, the col lective feet of the crowd were cold unto freezing and the steaming hot "dogs" hit the exact spot. There was a rusli between halves which made the rushes of the players look like a game of checkers and every mother's son came away eating a eross section of canine and a slab of bread. It was a great day. a great crowd, a great game and weren't the wieners good? HOH.VADAY. f rlase sin, f&im In 41.. l...T.. -...i. v.uv ...... .wiw mc nuuic auut.il- wesi tnis year. Few Gains on the Pass. Some of Texas's plays did not work as smoothly or successfully as they might have in the Kansas Aggie con test. Only one forward pass gained ground, although a dozen were tried during the game. The Longhorns did not seem to have the punch necessary to score through the line when with in striking distance of the opponents' goal. The Aggies held them for downs three times in succession within the 16 yard line in the last quarter, until the open style of play was reverted to.' End Runs for Big Gains. Long sweeping end runs were the best ground gainers. How such tactics will work against Notre Dame will never be 'known until they are used against that team. Coach Allerdice has taught Simmons and Daniels to follow their interference perfectly, and there is always a man or two on hand to give the needed aid. The ends. Tur ner and Edmonds, with Robert Sim mons as a substitute, are heavy and fast, qualities as essential to the ends, as the back field in playing an open game. It seems a foregone conclusion that Texas -will rely on an opeu game al most entirely against Notre Dame. If victory falls to the Longhorns, they will have the satisfaction of beating the Catholics at their own game, at least, the game which they employed against the Army. ' COCHRANE New York. Smith's boss, Jim Buckley, has flatly refused to jnatch the Call fornian with the Oklahoma engineer and Wfllard has a reasonable excuse because1 he is "in dutch" with the box ing commission. For a. t-me Morris figured he had Willard hooked for December 2. but that engagement appears to be off en tirely. In a letter I received from the Sapulpe. giant yesterdav he says: "It looks as though I am going to hae' fiKht 'esaer lights as Smith and Willard. who claim to be at the top of the 'hope class, are not will ing to meet me. Smith knows as well as the spectators at our last fight that the blow he claims was foul was fair and he auit rather than take the beating he knew he would get.. Now he absolutely refuses to meet me. Willard also seems to be oodging. I am sure I can beat both men and I have signed to meet either one. so it is up to Billy Gibson, man ager of the Garden A. C, to bring them to terms."

Willard did not improve his sanding with the boxing public by his battle with Bodel in Milwaukee. If he can not beat that miniature heavyweight he hasn't much chance of -whipping Morris. The account of the battle ald it was a tame affair in which neither 1 contestant showed anything like Cham pionship form. , Mike Gibbons likely will not get a battle with Packey McFarland. The St. Paul phenom has admitted that the best he can do in weight is 144 pounds six hours before the fight and- McFar land insists that all opponents must do at least 142 ringside. Gibbons is really in the middleweight class, as are sev eral other fighters who pose as wel ters. It is a bit like throwing coin away to challange Willie Hoppe for the 18-2 balk line billiard championship. This famous player, who has been a cue champion for years, is far and away the best of the lot.

Five minutes, after the windup of the semi final, the bell inaugurating the con test between Vic Hanson and Jack Herrick will sound, and every three minutes thereafter until a trip to dreamland, or a draw decision is an nounced by referee Ed Stwart. Says Jock in Fine Shape. "Jack is as strong as a bull; the 159 pounds at 9 oclock is just right; he is now several pounds below his natural Veight," said enthusiastic brother Joe, Friday afternoon after the big middle weight had finished boxing six swift rounds. "He is fully 25 percent strong er physically than any fighter of his weight, who has undergone the same strict training system. Any fighter who can work like Jack did yesterday at 159 pounds is strong and in excellent condition. Jack boxed two rounds with Johnny Patrick, two with '"Kid" Wil liams and an equal number with Benny Cordova. Hannon Through -Work. Hanson did not work Friday or Sat urday, with the exemption ofai long walk. The Salt Lake City middle weight is in excellent trim and says ho is ready for the hardest fight of hi3 career.

Joe Rivers has developed noticeably since his last appearance on the coast Golf: Winter Weather Changes Play By "Straight Drive" THIS is the season of the year when the noar golfer ' sands up hi3 lament at the departure of the good old summer time, with Its many helping factors toward lo'wer scores. Worm casts and dampness on clayey courses check the roll of the half-topped shot, which, under sum mer conditions, often rolled quite as far as a cleanly hit ball and other wise interfere with the indifferent player's game. Mashie approaches aimed to reach spots just short of the green that would roll nicely up to the pin, now stop yards short of where the golfer expects them to, or are widely de flected by worm casts. Again, high winus accompanied by a chill make the scoring of certain holes against the gale most difficult for the player unskilled in the low, penetrating ball that seems 'to go on its way unswerved and almost un checked by wind forces. Under conditions of high wind the uncertain or indifferent driver usually gels little for his effort, the ball goes away feebly and rises on the wind for a distance and is then blown back a few yards before it comes to earth. If he is inclined to hook or pull the wind exaggerates the error, making the game more hopeless still. How to 3Ieet Wind. Kven when playing before the wind the weak driver is penalized bj it, tha training quarters. Cordova's wind is "perfect, while his eyes are bright. Indicating good physical trim.

That Vic Hanson did not obtain a draw with Jeff Clarke at Joplin. Mo., is the, statement of Harvey Evans, sporting editor of the Joplin Globe, who repudiates the declarations made by Fred Winsor, manager of Hanson, to the effect that Hanson secured a 15-round draw. In a letter to "Otto Floto, Mr. Evans says: "Hanson is a good man and will rise, but Clarke Is the best mildleweight in the- world at his time. I like to see white called white, and no doubt you were misin formed. It was not a draw, but Clarke Won by his- own fighting ability.'" ' Fred Winsor, manager of Hanson, sold Saturday, that he did not claim a draw for Hanson, as the record of the Salt Lake City boxer as published in The Herald read: "Jeff Clarke, no de cision, 15 rounds." i I Lead the Piratesi according to Los Angeles boxing ex perts.

By Ulaylng the ball a trifle further to ward the right, bringing the club nearer to the body on the back swing and endeavoring to flatten the stroke, the desired ball may be seeured. Prac tice alone will give confidence in seek ing distance with consistency under this condition of going. Before the wind the chief effort should be to get the ball well up and cleanly away. A ball that ordinarily would not go over 150 yards in still air will frequently fly and roll to 175 be fore a wind. A following wind in some way or other tends to prevent the club head getting down to the ball. There fore It is safest to perhaps make the stroke a little more vertical, being sure to get the ball cleanly off the center of the club face. Heavy Drew a Handicap.
