HARLAN H. HATCHER University of Michigan Q 1E of the highlights of any football season for the Ohio State University is our annual contest with the Univer ity of Michigan. We are happy to welcome them to this, the Slst game in a football rivalry that started in 1897. Few schools have enjoyed so many years of athletic competition.-It is indicative of the respect we hold for our visitors, a feeling that I am sure has been mutual over the years. The long series has been characterized always by the keenest com­ petition, and the finest of sportsmanship. I want al o to alute the bands. To the great marching bands of Ohio State and Michigan is owing recognition and appreciation for the color and beauty they bring to the e annual games. Here is marching precision and band music at its best. Howard L. Bevis, President H. 0 . (FRITZ) CRISLER University of Michigan 4 5 The Head Co-aches The Michigan Coaching Staff W. W.
