Reports received tonight show the prosperity of the game. The receipts of the Michigan-Chicago combat yesterday will approximate the attendance being close to the 25,000 mark. Big crowds have been attracted to other Important games in other cities in the conference. The Michigan-Ohio contest drew an attendance in the neighborhood or 25.000 while the Chicago-Illinois game at Urbana a week ago drew 22,000.

Even Northwestern is getting its share, although the team has been unable to win a game in four starts. The Northwestern-Wisconsin contest two Huff, director of athletics, has decided to set aside another, date especially for. the residents of the state, whether alumni or not.

With but a few night's signal practise the locals accepted a challenge from the strong Peoria Tractor eleven and it was with difficulty that the Hilltoppers saved themselves from defeat. A drop kick saved the day for them and the- game ended 3-0 for Peoria. Having had tfuch a late start in getting organized It was hard for the locals to schedule good games for the 1919 season and as a result the teams which have been brought here have been swamped by the concentrated attack of the locals.

From a dope standpoint the fans figure that the two teams are of about equal strength and that there will be a battle royal on when the whistle blows for the start of the contest.
