The line has shown marked improvement in both offense and defense and, as Coach Wieman has a good supply of ground gaining backs, he has been giving considerable attention to his reserves, even limiting that he may let some of them start against the Navy.
 The "big" game of the Big Ten will be played at Champaign. with Illinois defending clean record against Chicago, lustiAg for victory after pair of conference defeats.
 Chicago expects to have full strength available, the casualties of the Michigan game having recover ed from the injuries. Ken Rouse, captain and line mainstay, will op- pose Bob Reitsch, Illinois all-con- ference center.
