- - Excerpts of the1904 game between the University of Michigan Wolverines and the University of Chicago Maroons. Michigan was undefeated. Chicago's record was marred by a single tie. Michigan coach, Fielding Yost, had defeated Chicago coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg, in each of his first three years, starting a long and bitter rivalry. Michigan's "point-a-minute" team was led by All-American halfback Willie Heston; Chicago, by quarterback Walter Eckersall. Ferry Field was packed with 13,500 spectators. The film opens with Michigan on defense, and includes a Michigan kickoff and a run from scrimmage--possibly by Tom Hammond. The sideline footage shows close-ups of a number of Michigan players, including Walter "Octy" Graham and Adolf "Germany" Schulz, as well as a brief shot of football trainer and track coach, Keene Fitzpatrick. Closes with slow pan shots of the crowd, press box and bleachers.
