pressive in smothering Georgia Tech than was Michigan in repelling Northwestern, yet I am picking the combined forces of the Wolverines to repeat over the Irish in the game of the week at Ann Arbor on Saturday. Both teams have the men with whom to score. Consequently the emphasis is almost entirely upon offense, so another high-scor-ing thriller such as last year's would not be surprising. . Michigan repulsed Northwestern, 321-7, which is nothing against Frits COrisier’s bunch ‘when the 3 eats augmented personnel is taken infd consideration, And you may rest assured that Michigan will bé higher for Notre Dame than it was for the Purple. Notre Dame is the team at which they all take their best shot. : Notre Dame, on the other hand,’ was pointed for Georgia Tech.

Michigan is the one college that has done 8 good job of beating Notre Dame. After a sroup of Michigan athletes introduced foothall to Notre Dame in 1887 while en route to Chicago for a game there, the Wolverines proceeded to show the Irish how to play it by scoring eight consecutive victories before losing in 1900.
