Neisch at end and Steger at halfback displayed a brand of football that marked them as men of
exceptional ability. Michigan completed fourteen forward passes in the course of the pastime.
After a two weeks' rest the Wisconsin team met defeat at the hands of the Wolverine machine
by a score of I3-6. Fully 40,000 enthusiasts of the gridiron game witnessed the spectacle which
developed into a duel of open field prowess between Williams of Wisconsin and Kipke of Michigan.
The break of the game came in the second period when Uteritz, standing in midfield, tossed a 25
yard pass into the waiting hands of Kipke who dodged the remaining distance for a touchdown.
In the third quarter Michigan hit her stride and in a series of end runs, with Kipke and Keefer
carrying the ball ripped her way to the Badger one yard line. From there "Cappy" Cappon
crashed over for the second score. Wisconsin never stopped fighting and in the last period with
only three minutes to play completed a forward pass, Barr to Pulaski, for the first score that had
been registered against the Wolverines in I922.
The season closed with the annual battle with Minnesota at Minneapolis. The outcome of
this involved, among other things, an undefeated season and the possession of the "Little Brown
Jug". Roby, his leg healed, had again returned to the fold ready for duty. For the first time during the season the Wolverines were forced to come from behind to win. Minnesota scored early
in the game on a Michigan punt that went astray. The team was forced to fight their way up hill
through desperate resistance to a 16-7 victory. It is almost impossible to pick an outstanding
star in the contest. Eleven men wearing blue jerseys blocked, tackled and ran as one, each determined to do his part to bring a glorious season to a fitting close. So it is that not one or two are
responsible for the "Brown Jug" reposing in Waterman gymnasium. Likewise every member of
the squad is responsible for the enviable, undefeated record of Michigan's football team during the
season of 1922.. II
