This defeat came as a result of an error in judgment which cost Michigan a safety instead of the touch-back that might easily have changed defeat into at least a tie.
The next moment he was thrown behind his goal-line with the ball safe in his arms, and Gardiner, on the side-line, was smiling contentedly. "Touch-back," cried Decker. "Line up on the twenty yards, fellows!" Hillton's ruse had won her a free kick, and in another moment the ball was arching toward the St. Eustace goal. The Blue's left half secured it, but was downed on his forty yards.
A Touch-back is when the player touches the ball to the ground behind his own goal, the ball having been propelled over the line by an opponent.
