We've been waiting a long time for this Saturday to roll around. The sly old fox of football, Robert Zuppke, is bringing his Illini grid- ders to town and we're hoping Ito be able to give him and his lads the same sort of reception they presented the Wolverines in Champaign last year. Thal was a miserazle afternoon our Michigan team spent in the home of Zuppke last autumn. Fresh from four impressive victories, the Wol- verines went into the game without the least expectation of a struggle. For them, it was just another ball game with a weak team that wasn't even able to whip Bradley Tech. But they forgot about the sly old fox. They forgot that he had amazing psychological powers. They forgot that he can always point his squad, no matter how weak, for one game a year and knock off some major opponent. Instead of a bunch of pansies, the Wolverines found an inspired, vic- tory-mad squad of Illini. Amazed at the unexpected opposition, and mi- nus its great blocking back, Forest Evashevski, Michigan fell helplessly before the aroused men of Zuppke. You've got to give the Illini a tre- mendous amount of credit for that startling upset. They played smart ball that afternoon. They were quick to grasp the over-confidence of their opponents. They were quick to take advantage of Michigan's sloppy brand of play. The Illini dug in deeper and charged all the harder as the game went on. The Wolverines were numbed. They couldn't believe what was going on. They drove on blindly. They fought desperately. But they fought without their heads. They were lost in the confusion. Saturday comes - the return match. Once again Michigan goes 'M' CLUB NOTICE There will be a meeting of the "M" Club at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Union.% Bill Combs, President into the battle unconquered. Three foes have been rushed aside. Illi- nois, on the other hand, has a highly improved squad. According to scout Wally Weber, there is much power in Champaign this year. Certainly Michigan will, or at least should, not be over-confident this Saturday. They should have learned their lesson. That miserable after- noon ought to be fresh in their minds. A repetition would be disastrous. Whether Zuppke is pointing his squad for this battle is hard to say. Rumors have it that the Fox is after Noter Dame this campaign. That's the squad the Illini face in their Homecoming Game next week. But remember that Zup has always en- joyed beating Michigan. Remember that the Wolverines and Ohio State are the only two teams in the Big Ten that hold an edge over Zuppke- coached squads. Remember that it wouldn't take much effort to stir up the Champaign lads to spank down Michigan again. They still hold memories of the thrill they received from last year's accomplishments. In the meantime, we'll do all we can not to give the old fox food for his talk. We have adopted a policy. We will never mention the name of a certain auburn-haired lad who once did some football playing for the Illini. According to the calendar, there are only four shopping days left until REVENGE. History cannot repeat itself. Freshmen Must Procure Locker Space This Week All freshmen classified for physi- cal education in Waterman Gymna- sium are requested by Dr. G. A.
