The Big Ten, with its policy against post-season games, has the laugh on the promoters of the jan uary classics, for in that loop they play at least one game each week which would fill any bowl in the land any day in the year. Another in this weekly series is on tap for Saturday when mighty Michigan. which lambasted Notre Dame, 1920, last week, takes on Ohio State, a team that humbled powerful Illinois, 44–⁠2O.
