"Revenge," however, falls under this same caption, and Michi- gan is going to do her level best this afternoon to force M. A. C. to seek consolation in the former. All of which casts no reflections upon Bill S. because even Bill could never forsee the Michigan-M. A. C. football situation, and poor Fill's the loser thereby. Coach Yost stated last nigt that the Michigan Varsity was in good shape and prepared to give an excellent ac- count 'of itself all afternoon. Coach Sommer of the Aggies makes these self-same claims for his Farmers and a battle royal should ensue. The Michigan boss let the team off with a comparatively light workout yesterday, signal practice proving the principle occupation during the time the men were on the field. The squad posed for a photograph and everyone looked so blooming cheerful and happy that a special print was rushed to East Lansing for inspection in that metropolis. Carpell, Bubbles Paterson, Cy Quinn, and Babe Musser, all football stars of a previous day, were on hand to watch the men in the final work- out before tackling the Aggies and all expressed themselves a pleased with what they saw. The high wind pre- sented a new problem and Coach Yost had his backs handling kicks for a while to accustom themselves to the gale which was raging most of the afternoon. Johnny Maulbetsch could catch a punt after darkness with both eyes closed and the wind didn't bother him in the least, and Sparks took care of everything that came his way without much trouble. Preparations have been made to handle a big turnout and if the day is a good one, the Ferry field attend- ance mark should go by the boards. Interest in this year's Michigan-M. A. C. battle has surpassed anything of previous years by a wide margin and it only remains for the weather man to make a good fellow of himself to see approximately 25,000 spectators packed into the field when the whistle blows. Yesterday's bad weather af- fected the seat sale seriously, but if things are favorable today those of a timid nature may yet decide to make the trip. If it rains and the going is heavy, Michigan may be forced to uncover a different style of attack than she has planned, but the old army game won't worry the Wolverine coaches particularly. The German Bullet and Pat Smith are equal to the emergency and although Sparks' beautiful end runs may be stopped, still the line plunging game won't play particular havoc. with the Maize and Blue ch'ances.

Rain again spoiled the matches in the tennis tournament scheduled for yesterday. With good weather today the fourth round encounters will be played off, and the boards will be cleared for the semi-finals on Monday. , So far the bright light in the tourna- ment has been Egbert, the California star. This man has eliminated all his opponents without difficulty, and appears to be the best bet for the championship. He has played against many of the internationally famous men of the Pacific slope, and has a driving, smashing game, which prom- ises to boost Michigan's Varsity ten- nis team to a high place next year. Paul Steketee of last year's Varsity squad should be runner up for the title, although Codd and Eugene Steketee may figure in the final round. BIG GAME GRD IN EASTAND INEST Nebraska-Oregon and MiciganM. A. C. Contests Headline At. tractions PENNSY OPPOSES PENN STATE Four games struggle for headline honors in today's gridiron card. In the west, the Michigan-M. A. C. and Nebraska-Oregon Aggie contests occupy the lion's share of the limelight while in the east the Pittsburg-Syra- cuse and Penn-Penn State matches are exciting the greatest attention. The Pittsburgers possessed one of the finest elevens in the country last fall, and although wakened by the loss of many of the stars who were the mainstays of that team, the pupils of Glenn Warner still present a formid- able front. Coach Bill Hollenbeck's Syracuse bunch is looming up this year as one of the miost dangerous ag- gregations in the east. The Orange- men are a team of veterans, possess- iig 'a strong heavy line, and a back- field tl~at is both fast and experienced. The fratricidal strife of Philadelphia between Pennsylvania and Penn State is expected to prove a close and bitter- ly fought game. Penn, with a new coaching system installed, is out for a come-back this year and inasmuch as the westerners have taken many a wallop at the Quakers in Penn's lean years, the latter are looking for re- venge today. With the exception of Dartmouth, all the other big eastern teams will have mere practice workouts this afttrnoon. The Hanoverians are liable to catch a tartar when they stack up against Georgetown. .Large pieces of fur are sure to fly in the intersectional struggle at Port- land between Nebraska and the Oregon Aggies. The Cornhskers are alays represented bya strong team, but they will'meet foes worthy of their steel in the Oregonians. Dr. Stewart, coach of the Aggies last season, has transferred his activities to Nebraska, so he will undoubtedly be out to show the home folks what he can do. Big games in the conference are those between Illinois and Ohio State and between Chicago and Northwest- ern. The Illini will have their hands full with the husky Buckeyes, who rolled up a score of 128 to 0 against Oberlin last week. Northwestern hopes to give Stagg's Maroons a battle when these two teams clash this afternoon, but it is hardly probable that the Pur- ple warriors will be able to put across a victory. The Iowa-Purdue contest should prove close, the Haweyes hav- ing a slight edge in the dope. Wiscon- sin should have a rompaway with the Haskell Indians. Other games exciting interest in their sections are the Texas-Oklahoma and Colorado-Denver battles. a! ''THE HOLCAD' HAS SSOME CONCLUSION i ION THE STRUGGLEI N. A. C.'S OFFICIAL STUDENT PER MAKES A. FEW DE. l)UCTIONS PA I CARROLL GAME WORRIED AGS Naulie Was Way Off Form Last Year, According to Lansing Pub- lication M. A. C.'s official student publica- tion, The Holcad, has the following to say in connection with today's game between Michigan and the Aggies: "Of all the talk floating around the~ campus these days, by far the most important is that as to whether or not M. A. C. football team can beat the eleven huskies representing the Uni- versity of Michigan on the gridiron. If they clo so, it will be two victories in a row, and somewhat of an achieve- nothing. For instance, how many times has Cornell gone through a long, hard schedule winning every game, while Pennsylvania has staggered through the same season losing game, after game to teams of minor impor- tance, only to have the tables exactly reversed when the two met in the final battle of the year, and the Big Red team, swaggering and overcon- fident, has found itself pitted against eleven fighting demons who played better football than they knew how and eventually won out? So do not be dismayed, fans, because Michigan tripled our score against Carroll, as it may work to our advantage by mak- ing the Maize and Blue men overcon- fident. "Itis more or less of a football axiom that the team with the strong- est line has the best chance of being on the long end of the score when the final shrill of the referee's whistle is heard. And right here it seems as if we have a shade or so on our beloved brothers from Ann Arbor. With every position except left end filled by a strong, experienced veteran, the M. A. C. line is not a thing to be trifled with To be sure, Michigan also has a vet- eran line with the exception of one or two men, but it is hardly up to the caliber of the Green and White breast- works, and it may easily come about fI New Haven, Conn., Oct. 20.-Yale's football warriors crushed Virginia Polytechnic Institute this afternoon, 19-0. Yale's work was smooth with the exception of one bad attempt at a field goal by Legore. The Blue's fumbling was a minimum while Virginia's work in handling the ball was disastrous.
