Seritable sea of mud. About $500 spectators
were present. of whom about half were en-
thusiastic students from Ann Arbor. The
day was fair and mild, but recent rains had
so softened the field that the footing was
Insecure and the ball so wet as to make
handling uncertain, to say the least. After
live minutes of play the men were so plas-
tered with mud as to be almost unrecogniz-
able.
Michigan won the toss and took the west
goal. Illinois kicking off. Illinois kicked to
Miclligan's twenty-five-yard line, and

1os'e being downed. Snow then punted and

ten yards, followed il with fifteen around
the end. Widman, Sickle and Snow fol-
lowed with gains. and then Widman went
around right end for touchdown. This was
the last scoring. Michigan again worked the
ball toward Illinois goal, but Illinois held
and punted out. The ban was again worked
down. but time was called with il on Ill-
noS's Seventeen-yard line. MichiganS work
was ragged in some respects, the team be-
ing penalized a number of times for Off
side plays and using of hands. Widman,
Streckle and Mclean were Michigans best
much better than was expected, but their
team work was not as good the Mchi-
gan mems. A cleaner game was never seen.
