'' BOB INGALLS .. . TenMichigan Gridders To Play Their Last College Game Today To upwards of 85,753 people today's Michigan-Ohio State grid clash may, be just another series of the thrills and spills that accompany every other top notch football game, but to 10 members of the Wolverine team today's contest brings a tinge of sad- ness. For this afternoon's Wolverine- Buckeye clash represents for these 10 seniors the moment all great ath- letes never look forward to-the final bow of a delightful career. After to- day the roar of the crowd, the thrill of combat, the pride of wearing Maize and Blue colors, all will be memories. For many of these retiring seniors it will mark the third year in a Wol- verine uniform. To some this is their first year of competition. But veter- ans or novices, all have contributed to Michigan's immortal football heri- tage. Here are just a fewr things to re- member about each of the gridders before they becomehMichigan legends: Capt.

But the Crisler-coached lads of Ann Arbor shrugged off the skepticism of the experts and faced the gigantic task that confronted them. The re- sult is that when they line up for the opening kickoff against Ohio State today, they will be sporting an im- pressive record of six victories and only one defeat, and that at the hands of mighty Minnesota. Today's contest will mark the 38th renewal of the Michigan-Ohio State football rivalry. It started back in 1897 and the records show 4 decided edge in favor of the Wolverines. To date, the Michigan boys have come out on top 25 times while the Bucks can only point to ten victories over the local outfit. Two of the encoun- ters have ended in deadlocks. More than the traditional rivalry wil be at stake when the two forces meet today, however, for the winner will take undisputed possession of second place in the Western Confer- ence. And if Wisconsin should pull a surprise victory over Minnesota, to- day's winner will move into a tie for first place honors. Ten Varsity gridders will don the Maize and Blue for the last time to- day.

Said Chief of Police Mortenson, with a telephone in one hand: "I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 20,000 automobiles, 65 special busses,18 'Football Specials'-andl me with only 30 extra officers to keep the traffic under control." Police Chief Sherman Mortenson first started to worry when Oscar Olander, state commissioner of pub- sheriff's deputies from Washtenaw County at city street intersections. Wayne County couldn't send any deputy sheriffs because'"we have to worry about the crowd after, they get cut of Ann Arbor." Dearborn said the same. 20,000 people are expected to attend the game from Ohio. The Ann Arbor Railroad has 11 trains coming. They are all "Football Specials" and will unload at the Ferry Field yards near the stadium from noon until game- time. Busses will "rush out'of Detroit as fast as the crowd can fill them" be- fore the game and will do double-duty service afterwards. Toledo is sending a squad of 27 specially chartered bus- ses to add to the traffic congestion. But the police department isn't giving up hope yet.
