at Stake as Wolverines, Illinois Clash ^.7 fP Michigan Seeks By BOB LENTI Today is THE-day for Michigan's 1947 football team. THE-day it tries to hurdle its biggest obstacle to an undefeated season, a Big Nine championship and a Rose Bowl bid. THE day to revenge the 1946 upset that kept it out of the Western Conference throne room and last year's Pasadena shindig. In other words, THE day of the Illinois game. When the capacity homecoming crowd of more than 71,000 rises to its feet for the opening kickoff at 2:30 p.m. (EST) this afternoon, the showdown battle of the champion and the challenger will be on. Preliminary Outlook The preliminaries leading up to this year's get-to-gether are just about the same as they were last year when an underdog Illini eleven blew into Ann Arbor, and blew out with a 13-9 victory, a league crown and an invitation to California. One thing is different this year, however. The Wolverines have been pointing for the Fighting Illini all year and are out for revenge blood. There have been no "Army blues" this year. Nor has there been any light regarding of the Ray Eliot's grid machine. There has been only grim determination. Illinois also has been pointing for this game. There has been a great deal of dissension in the ranks of the Champaign faithful as to insinuations that last year's squad "lucked out" on the game here. Since it looks like the ban on consecutive Rose Bowl trips will be lifted, the Orange and Blue also stand to gain another westward' trip if they can win today. Last Saturday's Surprise In fact, both clubs have been so concerned with each other, that both were surprised last Saturday while they had one eye cocked To Avenge 1946 towards Champaign. Illinois came off the worse of the two, by drop- ping its first game of the season to Purdue, 14-7. Michigan almost had the Brown Jug shaken off its trophy shelf by Minnesota but outlasted the Golden Gophers to win 13-6. Mr. Chappuis vs. Mr. Moss Those fans who like to play around with football psychology contend that the Fighting Illini will be twice as hard to beat on the rebound, but most corners are figuring at least a one touchdown victory for the Wolverines. They contend that the Wolverines had their big scare last Saturday and will be all the better for it this afternoon. All statistical information points to a wild and wooly affair in the scoring department. Both outfits put the asccent on offense with the result that the Maize and Blue leads the Conference with a 31 point average while Illinois is close behind with 27. Michigan tops the nation in total offense and leads the Big Nine in passing with a 133.5 average while Illinois is second with 127. Both teams feature a devastating passing attack aided and abetted by a crop of fast and hard running backs who can score from any place on the field at anytime. Will Feature Aerial Duel Bob Chappuis and Perry Moss will be the principals in the aerial duel that looks like a "natural." The Chap has completed 19 of 30 passes for a total gain of 502 while Moss has tossed 72 times with 44 completions good for a net gain of 482 yards. There is little to choose in the rest of the backfild. Russ Steger drives just a little bit harder at full, but Jack Weisbgrger has done more in the gaining department. In fact, the slippery 178 pound Weisenburger is on his way to a new conference rushing record if he can maintain the 8.2 rushing average he has racked up to date. Dike Eddleman has been just a shade more sensational at right kene, Michigan tackle, and Cap- BOSSMEN: Captain ruce Hil- Mm tan Art Dufeime er, Ilinois left halfback, lead their teams into action. half than Bump Elliott has, while Art Duffelmeier's different type of role has given him a wide yardage advantage over Howard Yerges. In the line there is even less to choose between the two clubs. Both are light and fast. Both have been brilliant at times and both have had off days. Wild and Wooly Affair DUEL IN THE AIR-Bob Chappuis and Perry Moss, Illini aerial gunner, will match good right arms in what may well be the decisive phase of this afternoon's warfare when the Wolverines meet the Illini for the 33rd time. So in the final analysis, it looks like the deciding factor will be whether Mr. Chappuis is hotter than Mr. Moss or whether Mr. M. is hotter than Mr. C. Regardless of which way the temperature blows, it's bound to be a hot afternoon on the Champaign gridiron today. I .

European Aid Report Made ByCongress Over 19 Billions Supplied by U.S. By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-Ad- ministration officials working on aid-to-Europe plans received a Congressional estimate today that the United States has already poured between $19,000,000,000 and $20,000,000,000 into foreign relief since V-E and V-J days. The estimate, announced by Chairman Byrd (Dem., Va.) of a joint Congressional committee, does not take into account the multi-billion dollar outlay con- templated under the Marshall Plan to aid Europe. Includes Russian Aid Byrd said in a statement, how- ever, that it does include nearly $60,000,000 "earmarked for Rus- sia and her satellites." The President's Council of Eco- nomic Advisers which is repbrted to have told Mr. Truman that the Marshall Plan can actually help- rather than hurt-the stability of American propserity. One official said the council's report, slated to be made public tomorrow night, will advise that the sending of more American bil- lions to Europe will not have an inflationary reaction at home if it is accompanied by certain regu- latory safeguards. To Outline Ideas Mr Truman is expected to out- line his ideas on those safeguards in a message to Congress opening the Nov. 17 session on emergency foreign aid and high prices.

Commenting on the story in the New York Times, which stated that the State Deparmetnt feared that we were losing our leadership in international culture, Passfield Local Ghosts Show Sense Of 'Humor' Ghosts invaded the streets of Ann Arbor last night, throwing rocks through windows, shooting out . street lights and stealing signs, as harassed police, indig- nant householders and ghoulish funnymen entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of Halloween.

Buys Essentials He went on to state that neither foreign governments nor private organizations such as the WSSF c'ould afford to bring large num- bers of students over.
