Ann Arbor, MIReferee: J. C. Holderness (Lehigh) Singing The Yellow and the Blue between halves of the Penn Game, November 1916On November 18, 1916, Michigan played its annual rivalry game against the Penn Quakers football team. The game was the 12th meeting between the teams dating back to 1899. After leaving the Big Ten Conference, Penn became Michigan's regular season-ending rivalry game. In the 11 prior meetings, Michigan had won only four times, with the two teams playing to a scoreless tie in 1915.[28] Penn won the 1916 game by a 10–7 score. Penn scored a touchdown by Howard Berry in the first quarter and a field goal by Derr in the second quarter and led 10 to 0 at halftime. In the fourth quarter, Michigan fullback Cedric Smith scored a touchdown for Michigan, and left halfback John Maulbetsch kicked the point after touchdown.[29] The Michigan Alumnus wrote that Penn's star halfback Berry had been permitted to end his military career on the Mexican border in order to allow him to return to the Penn football team.[30] The game was played in 15-minute quarters. Michigan's starting lineup against Penn was Maurice Dunne (left end), Elton Wieman (left tackle), Alan Boyd (left guard), Walter Niemann (center), Rehor (right guard), Richard Weske (right tackle), Willard Peach (right end), Cliff Sparks (quarterback), Maulbetsch (left halfback), Philip Raymond (right halfback), and Smith (fullback). Substitutes appearing in the game for Michigan were Albert Martens (right end) and Harold Zeiger (quarterback).[29][31]
