PREPARE FOR THE BIG GAME.

Chicago Oct. 16.--Local alumni OF the univer-
stiles Of Michigan and Wisconsin, are most busy
In preparing for: the game between their two
teams to be played on Mashall field Nov. l. A
circular letter has been sent out by the men
who arc managing the game to all the alumni OF,
the two universities. The letter calls upon the
graduates of the two colleges to turn out In full
force to cheer their respective teams when they
face each other.
1t seems likely that Michigan and Wisconsin
will draw the greatest crowd of the year in wes'
tern football The winner Of this game Will very
likely be proclaimed the champion OF the Wes-
tern elevens. Both teams will be at the top OF
their form for the game and the winner VIII
with good reason. claim the championship unless
1t is beaten later in the season.
Already many of the seats for the game NOV.
1 have been taken, and most of the boxes have
been spoken for. The idea Is that the alumni
of the two institutions shall have first oppor-
tunity at the seats. After they have reserved
all they want the general public will be given
chance.
As matters now stand, Michigan is certainly
the favorite for the game. Just what odds should
be is a mater Of opinion, which only offers or
bets can decide definitely. Some time ago WIS
consin sent 5000 up to Ann Abor to be wagered
against $500. 1t looks as If these We're alto.
gether too big odds. While the wolverines should
be the favorites for the game on account OF
their excellent showing far this season, they
should not be asked to bet to on their team
against Wisconsin. 1t is very likely that by
the day of the game the betting will be close
to even on the result.
