field with a torn ligament in the knee, and Bank suffered a'similar injury. They were definitely
out for at least a month.
Ohio State, next came to Ann Arbor to test its strength with Michigan. The Maize and
Blue was crippled physically but not mentally and the game which resulted was a great struggle.
Because of the injuries to Bank and Usher in the M. A. C. game, Uteritz began at quarter and
i Roby at fullback. Kipke and Steketee were the other backs. The line was the same as against
M. A. C. and Case. With this group of men Michigan more than held Ohio evenly in the first
quarter. But one first down was made in the first period and that by Michigan toward the end.
Kipke, Michigan's speedy halfback, broke away for a beautiful open field run which netted Michi^ gan 35 yards. It was the longest run of the game and took the ball to the Ohio 18 yard line. But
this play probably robbed Michigan of her chance to annex the game for Kipke was injured when
i[ tackled by the only man between him and the Ohio goal line and forced to leave the game. From
this point on, the quarter being over shortly, it was a different story. In the second period a
i short, backward-rolling Michigan punt was scooped up along the sideline by the fleet-footed Stuart
lj and before any one was aware'of what had happened he had dashed across the Michigan goal line
for a touchdown. It was an unfortunate break in the game that had caught the Michigan team
asleep. From then on for two periods, the Maize and Blue fought a losing battle and lacked the
drive to carry the ball across when an opportunity presented itself. Ohio was jubilant and when
'1iI a pass carried the ball well into the Michigan territory early in the fourth period, State carried the
I ball over for another touchdown. Michigan was beaten but fought gamely to the end.
i i It was with a greatly crippled team that the coaches began preparation for the Illinois game
1 which was next on the schedule. The matter of another running mate for Uteritz, Steketee, and
i Roby was a big problem. In his high school days the versatile Cappon had been a fullback. This
'1 past fall, however, Yost had no tackles and Cappon was shifted from end to left tackle. Now after; I the year was half over, Yost needed a good back and Cappon was called upon to fill the job.:| i If Thus again Michigan went onto the field with a last minute change in its line-up and with men
I f1 in places they had not played before. Ed. Johns was on the line at left tackle in place of Cappon!] who was in the backfield. Spirit was a big factor and the rejuvenated team not only won 3 to o,
f ^ but outplayed their opponents by a bigger margin than the score would indicate.
