ter, George Gregory, '04_l_; and the old
reliable guard Dan McGugin, '04_l_. This team under Yost's astute and
resourceful direction proved invincible, and became one of the greatest
elevens in the history of football. Whether it could have dealt
successfully with the Eastern champions will always be a question, but
it certainly found little effective opposition in the West; for the
final record showed an uninterrupted succession of victories with not a
point scored against the team. The total tells the story, 550 points to
0; with the University of Buffalo beaten by the extraordinary score of
128 to 0. The final game of the season was played with Stanford at
Pasadena, California, on New Year's Day, 1902. The quality of the team
was shown by the fact that they won by a score of 49 to 0 in spite of
the fact that they had been in training for four months, and left
Michigan in zero weather to play in what was to them a summer heat. Snow
was given a place that year on Caspar Whitney's All-American Team, while
Walter Camp selected Snow, Weeks, Heston, and Bruce Shorts, '01_l_
(tackle), for the All-Western team.

Except for the fact that the eleven was scored upon twice, once by Case
and once by Minnesota, the record in 1902 was much the same as in 1901,
644 points to their opponents' 12.

Although there were many changes in the team the following year, there
was a consistent development of team-work, which, combined with Heston's
extraordinary ability in carrying the ball, enabled Michigan to go
through the season with only one score against the team, in a tie game
with Minnesota. The 1904 team, though it was scored upon three times,
was also uniformly victorious under the leadership of Heston, who was
twice given a place on Camp's All-American, as well as his All-Time
All-American team chosen in 1910. The 1905 Championship passed to
Chicago, however, though the team was scored upon only by the two points
which lost Michigan the final game with Chicago. 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 following men composing this team were very generally selected
for All-Western honors; Thomas S. Hammond, '06_l_, half-back; Joseph S.
Curtis, '07_e_, tackle; and Henry F. Schulte, '07, guard, who were
members of the 1903 and 1904 elevens, and Adolph ("Germany") Schulz,
_e_'04-09, center. Not a little credi
