Chicago Oct. 26.-(AP) - The
temptation of a goal line as yet un-
marked by hostile feet was spread
before the eyes Of the Illinois foot
ball warriors today as the Michigan
team arrived to finish preparation
for tomorrow's battle before home
coming crowd Of approximately TO-
600.
Twice in recent years Michigan
has scored 80 victories over Illinois,
and Louis Gilbert has practiced
faithfully this week to make the
field goal attempt against the Illini
again. So far this season no field
goals have been registered in the
Big Ten except one by Rhinehart Of
Indiana against Kentucky on the
opening day.
May Pass to Victory
A forward passing quarterback
has been working with the illinois
varsity this week - Steussy, the
youngster who tossed the Illini to
victory week ago.
Both teams, among the unbeaten
four Of the conference, are at full
strength with no injuries of conse-
qucnce. In fact, Northwestern is the
only squad in the Big Ten which has
important casualties among its first
string men, and all but one of these
are likely to see service tomorrow
against Missouri. Waldo Fisher,
end. has an infected arm, which like
ly will prevent him from appearing.
The 38th annual struggle between
Minnesota and Wisconsin is expected
to draw record-breaking crowd to
the Gopher stadium with appetites
whctted for another overwhelming
Minnesota victory. Having the rep
-tation of coming into top form late
IN the season, the Minnesotans be-
lieve they are we'll on their way after
last Saturdays $50 defeat of Iowa.

hoped only to hold the Gophers to
low score. He departed for Minne-
apolis last night with 36 players.
Indiana, with hopes of duplicating
Purdue's victory over Harvard, ex-
pected to reach Cambridge late to-
day in time for a light workout.

Notre Dame inspired the Hoosiers.

Three non-scouting games are OH

Northwestern and Missouri agreed
not to scout each other. Montana

to get line on the Bobcats, and
he same was true Of Denver, which
