Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 27.--Clear cold
weather, with a hard, fast field, were the
conditions which Minnesota and Michigan
faced on Ferry field this afternoon. A
wet snow fell all yesterday afternoon and
until early this morning but the thick
covering of hay on the gridiron kept the
ground dry. The weather, therefore, was
counted out as g. factor in the game.
