ALBERT SCHROETTER.Cincinnati, January 30, 1906.MICHIGAN ALPHA, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.The big football game of the season in Ann Arbor was played November18, when Michigan defeated the formidable Wisconsin eleven, 12 to o. Itwas a very spectacular game and more than once the hopes of the Michiganmen sank as the prospects of a Wisconsin score loomed large. Nearly18,000 people attended the game, Wisconsin sending a large delegation.During the second half the temporary stand at the west end of the field fellwith over 2000 persons on it, but fortunately no one was killed and but fewinjured.The evening preceding the game, the second annual banquet of the MichiganUnion was held in Waterman gymnasium. Over nine hundred studentsand alumni were present and if enthusiasm counts for anything, the Union•club house is much nearer a realization. The glee and mandolin clubs werepresent and had as their guests, the Wisconsin musical clubs. The musicgiven by the two clubs added immensely to the pleasure of the evening.November 30, the final game of the season was played on Marshall Fieldand for the first time in four years, Michigan cannot claim the championshipof the west. Chicago managed to defeat her by two points in the hardestfought game the west has seen for many years. And at that, it was onlydue to a bad error in judgment on Michigan's part that gave to Chicago theslight victory. While defeat is always hard to bear and especially so aftersuch a proud record, it has without doubt resulted in good. We had, perhaps,become over-confident, expecting too much of the team without givinghearty enough support. The defeat while stunning in itself has succeededin bringing all Michigan men more closely together, than perhaps anythingelse could have done.Bro. J. S.
