A FOOTBALL GAME BY WIRE.
How Michigan Rooters Followed Each
Play in the University Club.
Although Saturday was Pennsylvania's day on the football field at Ann Arbor, it was Michigan's day with the stay-at-home rooters who watched the game around a miniature gridiron at the University club. A special wire from Ferry Field, Ann Arbor, told every play, and a pasteboard football was moved on a miniature gridiron with every announcement. When it was Penn's ball the red and blue side of the pasteboard was up, and when it was Michigan's it was turned over to display a yellow and black "M."
Alderman C. A. Young, a member of the class of '73 of Pennsylvania, was the only rooter who wasn't a Michigan man. It was eighty to one against him.
"Whoo-ee! Whoop!"
This was how the meeting started. Then the conversation changed to "What?"
But the rooters had a period of elation, and when the final score came they yelled, "U. of M." and gave "nine rahs" for the team, anyway.
