The sport's section (page 11) has a one column heading: "OHIO FIELD DEDICATED TODAY WITH MICHIGAN" with lineups and more. (see images) This would also be the day of the very first game between these tow at Ohio Stadium as well.
Complete with 24 pages, light toning and some wear at the margins, generally good.
wikipedia notes: The stadium's formal dedication against Michigan on October 21, which the Wolverines won, 21–0. The crowd was announced at the game to be 72,000, but no one is really sure how many people made it into the stadium. This attendance mark was broken in a game against Michigan in 1925 when 90,411 came out to support the Buckeyes; this is also the last time standing-room-only tickets were sold for a game.
