On October 4, 1930, the Spartans and Michigan Wolverines played to a scoreless tie in front of a crowd of 49,900 at Michigan Stadium.[3] The game marked the end of a losing streak for the Spartans against the Wolverines dating back to 1916.[3] Michigan had crossed the goal line near the end of the first half, but the play was called back on an offside penalty; the first half ended before Michigan could conclude the drive.[3] One of Michigan's key players, Bill Hewitt sustained an injured ankle while playing at left end of the game;[3] Hewitt did not play the rest of the season.[4] The Associated Press reported that Michigan's passing attack kept the ball in Michigan State's territory much of the time but the Wolverines "lacked the scoring punch."[5][6]
