ANN ARBOR. Mich. Oct. 3l.--(Spe-
cial.) If weight and experience may
be taken as evidence OF ability 60
play football. the game between the
Wolverines and South Dakota ON
Ferry field next Saturday. may de-
velop into as hard a contest as Michi-
gan Will have this season. From the
list OF South Dakota players teie'
graphed TO the athletic association,
together with their weights and NUM-
ber of years experience on the eleven,
IL seems quite probable that Coach
Yost will have his hands full In pilot

The entire backheld quartet OF the
visitors outweighs the local backfieid

Thus II will be seen that unless

will be badly outweighed, and viii be

II begins 10 look as though Michi-
gan might be in for an experience

braska was taken on. South Dakota
has everything TO gain and nothing

with Michigan. A victory over South
Dakota will not give Michigan any
