path to a touchdown. And the
score at the time was 90.
Things looked blue for Mime

close to his interference and there
seemed to be no chance for Mar

seem possible for him to go around

Down the field swept the flying
Badgers. Martineal was moving

about to brush him aside. And then
he left his feet. Not around or
through the interference, did Mar
tineau attempt to go, but over the
top. And down came Williams. an
astonished man, fifteen yards from

No one expected Martineau to
make that play. Less great play

But Martineau had the courage

Splendid weather beamed down on
the twin cities here that were riots
Of color and trimmings. Michigan
banners and Illinois pennants
carried out a color scheme that fitted
most artistically with the natural
tint of the brown leaves and the
hay red sky.
Too Warm for Blankets
Those among the gathering legions
who had played football said it was
too warm for a good game and the
fair ones who had come bearing
huge blankets and robes seconded
the motion and sad it was almost
too warm.
Distressing rUrors such as are
ddled around before every big
game were being distributed freely.
1t was said that most OF Illinois
stars were afflicted with colds. sore
feet, torn finger nails ard a variety
OF ills. Michigan complained that
her squad was too green and that
a couple Of men We're bruised.
Michigan pulled one Friday night
that caused the Illinois scouts to
dash and run feverishly through
their notes. The Michigan coaching
staff announced that Dobe Stamman,
former Toledo High School star,
would play in the back field in place
of Parker. who had been reputed
to be the big offensive surprise. I'LL
nois had no record Of Stamman.
Illinois Has More Weight
Illinois was favored in the betting
because OF a heavier team and the
belief that Grange would Guido any
thing that Michigan might offer to
stop him. II was also doped tina,
Illinois had more experienced play
ers and that Michigan would not be
the same without Kipke.
Even though It had been an
nounced a week ago that there
were no tickets available, hundreds
came without pasteboards hoping
that some might be turned back at
the last moment.
Compared to the Big Three"
games in the East and the Army
Navy game, there was practically
no ticket specializing.
The new 100000 War Memorial
