800 900 fans are expected to Jam Big
Ten stadiums Saturday on the confer
ences red-letter days, Nine Conference
teams will play on six battleforntS, pc
fore the largest total audience In big
Ten history.
The most enormous throng of the day
will watch Harvard make its first Mid
die Western invasion against the VOL.
verineS at Ann Arbor. Between S7OOU
and 10000 spectators, depending on the
weather are anticipated for that battle
| The Army's invasion of Illinois Will
attract sell-out crowd of $4,000, while
| $4,000 seem certain of viewing the
Notwithstanding State duel at Co
lumbus.
Chicago's victorious stand against
Princeton last week has spurred the
demand for ducats for the Wisconsin
game so that 10000 are expected. The
Iowa Minnesota game at Iowa City, the
most important of the day from the
standpoint of the Conference champion
ship race, looks for 10000, while 10000
is the attendance figure set for the
Mississippi-Purdue game.
Michigan To Be Ready.
Michigan has failed to win Con-
ference game so far this season, but
will have its strongest lineup in the
field for the first time in several weeks
when it tackles Harvard. Alvin Dab
lem, the fleeteSt ball toter on the VOL
verines' squad, and Ducky Simrall, safe
ty man and punter, returned to the
backheld last night after a long rest
because of injuries, while Al Steinke,
his injury completely healed, was back
at his old post at right guard. The
Maize and Blue may resort to an open
running and passing game for the GRIM
son.
Coach Bob zuppke of Illinois was
seeking plunger for the Army strug-
gle Lack of sustained line attack has
been bothering the Illini most Of the
season. Fritz Humbert, one Of the best
line smaSherS to wear the Orange and
Blue, has almost recovered from his in
juries, but it is doubtful whether he will
start against the Cadets.
Minnesota'S hopes OF chasing the
Iowa jinx and winning the Big Ten
crown was dimmed with the revelation
that its star fullback, Bronko Nagurski,
had broken the thumb of his left hand
in the Indiana game. The mig Nag"
expects to play, however, although his
effectiveness may be handicapped.
Iowa Looks for Win.
Iowa, too, had a regular on the in
jured list-its veteran end, Mastrogany,
who has a bad ankle. The Hawks
were impressive last season in stopping
Minnesota line formations and see an
opportunity of spelling Gopher cham
pionship hopes for the second successive
year.
Because of the heft Of Mississippis
forward wall, Purdue may revert to a
passing and open field attack against
the Southerners. The regular boiler
maker backs, WEIGH, Yunevich, Harm
eSon and White, were given a rest last
night while Coach Jimmie Phelan
drilled the line and reserves.
Sammy Behr has encouraged Wis
consin by returning to his quarterback
position after a weeks absence because
of injuries while Bill Lusby, Badger
punter, may get into the Chicago
game, too. Chicago, meanwhile, is de-
veloping an aerial attack upon advice
of scouts who reported the prowess of
the Badger forward wall against Purdue
and the teams weakness against the
overhead attack.
Having virtually ended Illinois two
year championship reign. Northwestern
was busy preparing for Ohio State. Bill
Griffin, light, but feet ball carrier,
may be in the backfield for the Wild
cats, who will seek to push Ohio State
out of the championship chase Satur-
day.
