Eckersall wrote: "That Michigan met a Tartar in a team which held Yost's eleven to a 0 to 0 score in the first two periods and was the first to register a score . . . cannot be questioned. Time after time the Wolverines carried the ball inside the local's fifteen yard line only to be checked by a slow defense."Aggies Surprise Yost's Men: Michigan, Win, 15 to 3, but Has to Fight for Verdict; Wolverines Look Strong; Championship Timber at Ann Arbor, Says Eckersall Walter H.
