and the atmosphere was continuously
agitated by the shrieks of enthusiastic
rooters. Both sides expected to win.
The teams looked fit for the fight of
their lives. Michigan had to give odds

arrival of the Minnesota contingent to-

count of injuries. However, Graver
and Cole, substitutes, are regarded as
FIRST class men.
