the Michigan Central from Chicago.
Booth took his men TO their hotel and
then sent them for a short walk 70 loosen

long ride Of $50 miles. This will be Ne

Left end, Johnson; left tackle, Weller;
guard, Taylor: right tackle, Cotton; right
end, Benedict; quarter back, Morse; left
half back, Little; right half back, Wilson:
Only one freshman. Taylor, will be

Whether we lose or win tomorrow, we
win play our best game. All the men are
in good condition"
About 200 students met the Cornhusker
players Nine rains for Nebraska was
raised. The Nebraskans responded with a
song OF victory. Booth was the cynosure
of all Wolverine eyes. There was practi-
cally no betting in the crowd that visited
the Nebraskan's hotel. Here and there a
few wagers were laid that Michigan would
win by a narrow margin.

Coach Yost Surely we are against a

Michigan on the Anxious seat.

good, fast man, but lighter than Yost likes,

II will to Wisconsin and Chicago later on.

from Kalamazoo, will be in the game uBless
he has some more bad luck with his weak

best in their repertory so far this season
Yost has only one good end runner-Cap-

this fall, though II hasn't had ANYTHING
like the test II Will get next Saturday
Vanderbilt was fast and the wolverines

The outlook is for a big crowd Saturday
The Michigan Central will run a specia

bleachers will be crowded to their capacity
Michigan will inaugurate new scheme o.
cheering by sections at this game.
