 CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Michigan uni- versity has 8 tough job on hand Sat- urday. For, if Wisconsin can master strength enough to turn back the in vading Wolverines at Madison, Mich igan will be down and out as far as the big ten football championship for 1923 is concerned. The game is the middle vests feature attraction of the day.
 Two things have raised the stock of the Badgers considerably, despite 1 their defeat at the hands of Illinois last week. The first of these is the difficulty that Coach Yost has found in finding quarterback to replace Uteritz, injured last week. Rockwell will attempt to carry the role, but the crafty Michigan backfield is apt to be lost without the brilliant general ship of Uteritz. The other consists of a series of mysterious reports radiat- ing from Madison to the effect that Coach Ryan has surprise package that he is going to open Saturday for the entertainment of the visitors from Ann Arbor. Part of this sur prise, it is believed, consists of two complete sets of backs, which will take turns on the field.
 Should the Wolverines win, they will continue on the heels of Illinois, now in the lead for the championship, and with possibility of nosing out the Illini, who, some believe, are doomed to defeat when they meet Ohio State a week hence.
 Minnesota is slated to remain among the undefeated few at the end of the gopher battle with Iowa Sat urday Ohio State, which meets her old rival, the Maroons of Chicago, here, is also a favorite. The two weak teams of the conference. North western and Purdue, will battle for the body prime at Lafayette.
 Miss. A. & M. Plays nIini.
 The Illini have an inter-sectional contest with Mississippi A. x M. for the weekend attraction at Urbana. As in most of Illinois games, success or failure depends on Red" Grange, the flashy back who appears to be headed for an all-American berth.
 Notre Dame, still stinging from last weeks defeat at the hands of Nebraska. plays Butler. Marquette has it's first team in excellent shape again for a game with South Dakota Indiana plays Wabash, and the Michi- gn Aggies are going to fight 1t out with Detroit, Coe meets Gunnell.
 Kansas and Drake play in game that may decide the winner of the Missouri valley championship. Both are undefeated by conference mem bers. An undefeated season might give either the championship over Nebraska on percentage.
 Nebraska has an easy game with Iowa State, and Missouri makes its annual appearance gainst Washing ton. Oklahoma goes out of the con- ference for a hard game with Texas and the Cowboys can win if they can stop that powerful sooner passing machine that downed Missouri last week.
 Texas Mines and Baylor are to play at Fl Paso, while Rice meets the Texas Aggies in another important state game at Houston.
 Arizona has jouDneyed eastward to play Dallas, and Centre invades Ala bama Poly'sy headquarters at Bir- n.ingham. Kentucky plays Georgia Tech at Atlanta, while Louisiana State and Alabama meet at Baton Rouge.
 California. whose goal was crossed for the first time by the downstaters last week, will renew the figh t against eher ancient enemy, Wash ington. Stanford plays Idaho at Palo Alto, and Southern California meets Occidental.
 Utah is to- play her rival of the Rockies, Colorado, at Salt Lake City, and Wyoming meets the Utah Aggies
