Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 25.-Ferry field
is presenting a busy appearance The new
stands and bleachers and the temporary
stands are completed. A sixty-foot addi-
ton was made to each end OF the south
bleachers, and a thirty-foot addition to
each end of the north bleachers. These
new stands are for permanent use and
are built fully as strong as the old ones.
D. One hundred boxes have been con-
structed within the gridiron fence. They
are but dozen feet from the, side line.
Each box will contain six chairs. A press
stand one hundred feet long has been
erected upon the roof of the grand stand.
This will give the newspaper men the
hes. possible view Of the field and still
keep them close to the gridiron. The
stards will actually accommodate 1000
persons without crowding. A temporary
starding stand for the general ticket
holders extends across the east end Of the
field under the score board. This will
easily hold 1000 persons Three thou
sani more can view the gam, from the
incline in front Of the grand stand and
from the west end of the field, so that
1900 people can see the game without
discomfort. ''
Tickets Are Going Fast.
II the demand for tickets continues the
reserved seats will be sold before Thurs
day. The block of seats sent to Mime
apolis is on the north bleachers directly
west of the grand stand. They lap over
both flfty-yard lines and run west.
p. Michigan Again Confident
Coach Yost and Trainer Fitzpatrick are
putting the finishing touches on the team.
The rooters are preparing to see the great
est game Of football ever seen in the west.
Michigan is slowly. recovering from her
scare and by the time the game is called
will probably have regained the confidence
which has preceded her other games.
The cold weather is having a noticeable
effect on the men and the signal practice
becomes more Snappy
Sweely Is kept busy at the kicking busi-
ness and Redden and bernstein are run
ming the punts down. One Of the pretti-
est parts Of the championship game IS ex-
pected to be the kicking contest between
Knowlton and sSweely and the fight be-
tween the rival ends. This is Redden's
last battle for the maize and blue and he
will do his best to live up to the reputation
which he gained as running mate to
Neil Snow.
VIII Fight for the M
II Lawrence, Cole OF Cooling get chance
to play, fierce fight may be expected
from them as it will be their only chance
Of winning an NJ. It is Michigan's policy
to cut down the list Of Ms as low as possi-
BILE seldom awarding more than thirteen.
Eight Of the present varsity players made
the team last year.
There is movement on foot to effect
reconciliation between Manager Baird and
the u. Of M. band This Is not probable,
however, because Baird will hardly make
any concessions at this time OF the year.
Minnesota. will thus have the advantage Of
band to Offset the greater number Of
Michigan roOters.
Trainer Fitzpatrick stated yesterday
that all the Michigan players were In cx-
celIent condition for the championship
fray with Minnesota Thursday. All came
out OF the contest with Oberlin as fresh
as they went except Hernstein, who, to-
