While Michigan has always had a crack baseball team, winning from Harvard in 1891 and Yale in 1892, it is only recently that she has developed a foot-ball team which will compare favorably with those of eastern colleges. The first game of this season was played at Ann Arbor October 7th with the Detroit Athletic Club team, and resulted in a score of 6-0 in favor of the University of Michigan. On the 14th a return game was played with the Detroit Athletic Club at Detroit, and this time Michigan won by the decisive score of 26-0. This showed the team to be making rapid progress, as the Detroit Athletic Club team included many excellent ex-collegians and had enjoyed thorough training. The next game was with the Chicago University team, and was lost by
the score of 10-6, Michigan having the ball within a foot of Chicago's goal line when time was called. Michigan then returned home, where it met defeat on October 28th at the hands of the strong Minnesota team, 34-20. The following Saturday, November 4th, Wisconsin administered the third successive defeat by the score of 34-18. Michigan went into this game badly crippled. On November 11th Michigan met and defeated the strong Purdue team, hitherto undefeated since 1890, by the score of 46-8. It was no chance victory, as from beginning to end Purdue was clearly outplayed. The following Monday, November 13th, Michigan met and defeated DePauw's eleven, 34-0. Michigan has shown steady improvement of late, and is now in the pink of condition, and flushed with the success of victory over two of the strongest teams in the West. The manager of the team is Mr. Chas. Baird, of Chicago, and the assistant manager Mr. Eugene Batavia, of Kansas City.—K. C. Times.
November 25th, that's the date. Let everyone turn out. Let Kansas City and U.of M. supporters know that the Kansas University is more than proud of her 'Varsity. All our "rooters" must be there to yell as man ne'er yelled before. On the 30th U.of M.meets Cornell, so, in a great measure, the strength of eastern and western teams may be estimated. Come! come! come!
Mr. Waterman, of Doane, has our sincere apologies. In our last issue it was insinuated that Mr. W. was the worst and most unfair foot-ball umpire that the world had ever seen. We were mistaken. We spoke in haste and in the conceit of a new experience. There are depths of perfidy which Mr. W. has never reached. Since that Doane game we have learned some things. Before Mr. W. umpires another game we advise him to take a course under Mr. Toomey, of Baker. If there is anything in the way of "hossing" an opposing team which Mr. Toomey doesn't know, it has been invented since the 28th of October. For pure, unadulterated nerve, Mr. Toomey takes the "Bakery." He knows very few of the rules of foot-ball, and those that he knows he is more than anxious to misapply in favor of his own team. If the managers of the Nebraska team ever allow a player of an opposing team to umpire again, they deserve to be beaten about a thousand to nothing. —Nebraskan.
And yet that academy still insists on one of their number for umpire.
