MCHIGAN OUT TO
CONQER ILINOIS
(Continued from Page One)
A comparison of the two teams re-
veals a slight advantage in favor of
Illinois. Since Coach Zappke does
not weigh his men it is hard to com-
pare the elevens as respects avoir-
dupois. However, there is no doubt
that the Indian line outweighs the
Michigan forward wall anywhere from
five to ten pounds per man. The av-
erage weight of the backfields is very
nearly the same, Bobbie Fletcher and
Jack Dunn, both being small men,
while the other backs on both sides
weigh between 165 and 180. Taking
it all in all there is not enough dis-
parity in weight, unless it be in the
center of the line, to make any mate-j
rial difference.
Battle Between Lines
A battle royal Is expected between
the twp lines. Both of them have
shown great defensive strength this
year, although Illinois has had more
chance to show its actual power thanE
has Michigan.
Carney, the Indian left end, is like-
ly to cause the Wolverines much
trouble. He has the reputation of be-
ing one of the greatest receivers of
forward passes in the country and is a
strongrdefensive end to boot. Hell-
strom, the other end, is a new man.
Captain Depler, at center, who tips
the scales around 205, will be another
tough proposition.
Four stars will be behind the Illin-
ois line. The two Fletchers, Wal-
quist, and Crangle are playing togeth-
er for their second season. The team
play which this quartet has developed
is one of the biggest advantages
which the Illinois team will have over
the Wolverines.
Comparison Favors Ilni
Man for man the Michigan team
does not look as strong as the Illin-
ois outfit. We cannot boast such a
star end as Carney, nor such a quar-
tet of backfield stars as the Indians
have. The middle of the Michigan
line is lighter, but appears just as
strong as that of the opponents.
Michigan will have the psycholog-
ical advantage, however, of playing
on her home field. Furthermore, the
Wolverines will have more incentive
than any Michigan team in recent
years. On this game will depend the
success or failure of the 1920 season,
and on this season depends the ques-
tion as to whether Michigan is to
continue to hold her ancient high
place in western football or whether
she will henceforth be rated as a
second rater.
The game will start at 2:30 o'clock
Central standard time, 3:30 o'clock
Ann Arbor time. The 'officials for the
contest , are as follows: Referee-
Horatio B. Hackett (Army); um-
pire-Anthony Haynes (Yale); field
Judge-J. W. Means (Pennsylvania):
head linesman-James G. Dirfies (Wil-
liams).

COMPARISON OF TEAMS
IMPOSSIBLE, SAYS ZUP
ILLINI ELEVEN NOT OVER CON.
FIDENT - INDIAN
MENTOR
"We have had no way to make a
comparison between Yost's team and
mine. My scouts who saw the Mich-
igan Aggies in action against Wis-
consin and Michigan report that
Michigan looked much stronger than
the Badgers. Beyond that I know
nothing of the local team's strength
and can make no statement about
the outcome of the game," was Coach
Robert Zuppke's comment on the
probable result of today's battle on
Ferry field. "I will state definitely,
however, that we are not over con-
fident. We realize that we are go-
ing into a hard game."
1919 Backfield Back
Sitting on the sidelines at Ferry
field yesterday afternoon while his
charges were going through light ex-
ercises in the hot sun, Zuppke kept

up a running fire of comment that
threw some light on the makeup of
his team. The fact that he has the
entire backfield that carried the Illi-
ni to the Conference championship
last year in addition to the left end
and Captain Depler, center, indicates
that the little mentor may have de-
veloped a team as strong as the 1919
aggregation. The additional fact that
two of last year's regulars have not
made a, position this fall does not
weaken that supposition.
When asked for a list of weights
of the men who will start for Illinois
today Zuppke commenced on a sub-
ject that appears to be a strong point
with him. "I don't take their
weight," he declared. "If I did some
of those light boys might not be on
my teams. It doesn't matter to me
how big they are. They have to
play football."
Zuppke Too Small
This recalls the fact that back in
his undergraduate days Zuppke was
considered too small to hold own a
position on his varsity team. For four
years he worked on the scrubs sub-
jected to the battering of the varsity,

CROSS COUNTRY MEN
RUN COURSE TODAY
This morning at 10 o'clock the
Wolverine cross country candidates
will be run over the course for the
purpose of selecting the men who
will represent Michigan at Purdue
next Saturday. Reports from the
Boilermaker camp indicate a strong
squad, and Steve Farrell is leaving
nothing undone to develop a team
which will outclass them.
While he believes this can be done,
he is not too confident of the out-
come of the race. The small num-
ber of men who have turned out for
the hill and dale sport this year
makes it extremely difficult for a
crack aggregation of harriers to be
organized.
Theybig event. for the cross coun-
try men this year will be the state
meet at Lansing Nov. 6, when the
permanent possession of the state
trophy may be decided. M. A. C. and:

cup, and it is to go to the first to win
three. It is considered doubtful that
any of the smaller colleges can pro-
duce winning teams this year.
Due to certain complications which
have arisen, "Joe" Josephs, captain
of the cross country team, will be
unable to compete this season. This
necessitates the election of a new
captain, which will take place after

the trials for the Purdue meet
morning. "Joe", never the less,
have two more cross country sea
to compete and will help to stren
en the 1921 team.

FAMOUS CIGARETTES
ounds
Captain X In the Field
When you wanted a drink of water and
couldn't get it-
When the chow was cold or hadn't
come up-
When life was dreary and rain-soaked?
too-
You had one friend that never failed
you-
That soothing, comforting standby-a
cigarette - and the popular cigarettes
over there were round and smoked freely.
When Captain X found he couldn't re-
plenish his supply of Pall Mall (plain
ends) in the field, he began smoking
the popular round cigarettes. Their
shape gave him an idea.
Back in America once more the Captain
came and gave us his idea,-a big idea.
He suggested that we make Pall Mall
cigarettes round in shape, loosely rolled
-a cigarette that does not have to be
tapped, squeezed or loosened, a cigarette
with a free and easy draught.
A cigarette made from the famous Pall
Mall blend of 42 Turkish tobaccos
chosen for richness and delicacy of flavor.

opening tab.
