III. Composition

Football reports vary in length from a bare statement of the result of a
game to many columns, the determining factor in this particular being
the amount of public interest. The style is sometimes rendered
picturesque by a skillful use of metaphor, antithesis, and slang, but
more often is severely plain. The latter method is the only safe one for
beginners. Except in the hands of a genius, the former is sure to result
in silly vulgarity. The models which follow are of convenient length and
in style are admirable, being clear, correct, and free from vulgarity.

MICHIGAN, 15; M.A.C., 3

Michigan defeated the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing
on Saturday, Oct. 14, in a game which marked the first defeat of
the Aggies on their home field. The Wolverines went into the
late minutes of the third quarter without a score and with
3 points against them, and, by the kind of football that has
made Yost teams famous, played the "farmers" to a standstill.
Michigan was returned a winner by a score of 15 to 3. The game
brought out Jimmie Craig in the new role of halfback and assured
him a permanent berth behind the line. Six hundred Michigan
rooters attended the game.
