Show Captain Lowry Tackled . One of His Own Players Annals of the "Big Ten" contain few incidents as strange as that happening happen-ing in the Northwestern victory over Michigan hi Chicago. F. E. Mathews '26, star Put pie end, picked up a Michigan Mich-igan fumble and was running for a touchdown when tackled on the three' yard line by his own captain, T. J. Lowry '26, center. Only three plays had passed since the opening kick-off, but so muddy was the field that the uniforms became undistinguishablo and Lowry mistook Mathews for a Michigan player. A field goal kick followed, fol-lowed, however, saving the Purple from the loss of the game that might have resulted from its captain's mistake. |
