=1TCHIGAN is straining at the
I'M leash for that Illinois foot
80 ball game next Saturday.
The Wolverines have not forgotten
how Red Grange tore through
them last year in his sensational
. dashes which put the Ann Arbor
Y team to rout. In 1924 both teams
\ We're undefeated before the battle.
The situation is changed now.
Illinois is the underdog, a rather
peculiar position for the cocky
Illini. 1t is now the lordly VOL
verines who are full Of confidence
after having trampled Indiana and
Wisconsin with a dazzling attack.
Michigan appears plenty strong
enough to win, but Grange is al
ways dangerous. He showed he
was the same snaky runner at
Iowa last Saturday. The invaders
of the Illinois stadium must not
become too confident. They must
not forget the Grange threat which
is ever present.
Coach Zuppke has beer known
to spring surprises before. We
wouldn't put a nickel on Illinois
chances against a team considered
by some as one of the best in the
middle West. But we repeat, the
Wolverines must not become over
confident. They'll get plenty of
opposition.
TF any Purdue University
fans think the Boilermak-
- ers are in for pleasant
afternoon up at Madison, Wis,
next Saturday, just because Wis
consin was defeated by Michigan,
y to 0, last week, they have an
other think coming. 1t was due to
no weakness Of the Badgers that
they lost.
Rather 1t was the exceptional
strength Of Michigan which has it's
best team in years. To speak right
n out, If all reports are to be be-
- lieved, Wisconsin right now has a
moro powerful eleven than Pur-
due. The Lafayette team has a
big task ahead.
Rush, former Technical High
School athlete of this city, re-
ceived special notice i'll the Min
neap0lis papers for his line
plunging against the GOphers in
the Wabash contest. One ac-
count stated that "Rush dis
played remarkable drive, and it
usually took two to three Go
piers to stop his wild charges
through the Minnesota line"
1t must be nice to be popular
young man like Cliff Wells, Lo-
gansport High School basketball
coach. Cliff won an auto in a
popularity contest held in his
neighborhood There's a winner
on which no mistake was made.
Wells deserves any good things
that come his way. (No, we haven't
got any basketball games to ref
cree at Logansport, and don't want
any. It's too far away, and be-
sides we almost got into a riot once
in that town, but it wasn't Wells
faulty They don't make EN- any
fairer or squarer than Cliff.
