Heading into the OSU-Michigan vault
Since you’re wasting time anyway on Ohio State-Michigan this week, you might as well head to the historical site set up by the Ohio State library dedicated to the rivalry.
I just spent the past half-hour snooping around the site, and I’m not nearly through the interesting pieces and photos available.
My favorite part, so far, is the “Rival Reporting” tab. It contains old stories from the student newspapers and alumni magazines from both schools. Here’s a taste of coverage from the 1897 tilt:
From the Michigan Daily:
Michigan had no trouble in defeating the Ohio State University representatives in Saturday’s game. Two halves of 20 and 15 minutes respectively were played and the score was 34-0. It was not so much Michigan’s strength as Ohio’s weakness that brought about the score. the visitors lined up with three of their best players absent, while Michigan put her best team on the field. while the form of the varsity team was not on the championship order it showed an improvement over the Saturday before that was most encouraging.
Now, from The Lantern:
The representatives of the Scarlet and Gray met the husky young men of the University of Michigan for the first time on the gridiron last Saturday, and when the dust had cleared away from the first half a score of 34 to 0 had been placed against O.S.U. In the second half U. of M. tried some new men and neither side succeeded in scoring. The game was hard fought from start to finish and entirely free from slugging and objectionable features. Michigan played a kicking game almost entirely in the second half of fifteen minutes and it was plainly seen that O.S.U. was much stronger on offensive work. In the second half Coach Edwards’ men managed to carry the ball far enough back after each punt to keep the Wolverines from scoring.
