Michigan Must Defeat Penny Football Outlook at Ann Arbor

Special to The Sum. Ann Arbor Mich 14 It is up to Michigan to make road this year or the western state of football will receive the same kind of job as when Michigan traveled to Harvard in 8s and when Wisconsin went east in 18. If Michigan cannot make good this year how can it be expected that the men of Yost will win next year when Penn and Pennsylvania comes to Ann Arbor. The captains Curtis Patrick Ody Graham Johnny Garela and Magoffin will depart. These are two men who cannot be beaten in the west in their positions and losing them leaves no clear captain for 1907. Casey is disqualified this year so next year may help. Michigan’s line will be weak and the defense lacking. Schultz and Rheinschild remain on the sidelines as observers. Michigan may excel in punting and goal kicking with Curtis able to place or drop kick. Michigan will out-punt and attempt more field goals than Pennsylvania. Luck may decide the outcome of the game.
