Prior to 1919 the Buckeyes had not fared so well and had lost 13 games and tied twice. Since 1919 “The Rivalry” has Ohio State vs. Michigan nose to nose with OSU posting 46 victories, UM 45 victories, while sharing four ties. Chic Harley made a huge impact in the game by intercepting four passes and scoring all points on offense. Following the Buckeyes' 13-3 win, the legendary Michigan head coach Fielding H. Yost asked for and was granted a rare moment to address the Ohio State team and stated "You deserve your victory, you fought brilliantly. You boys gave a grand exhibition of football strategy and while I am sorry, dreadfully sorry, that we lost, I want to congratulate you. And you, Mr. Harley, I believe, are one of the finest little machines I have ever seen."
Chic Harley made such an impact that someone wrote his name on the front of the program (that is not Chic in the photo, as this was at UM).
