Boasting fullback Walt Trojanowski, the leading scorer in collegiate football last season, and a rugged line anchored by the Dropo brothers, Walt and Milt, the Huskies hope to make their first visit to Soldiers Field an unforgettable occasion for Coach Dick Harlow's charges this afternoon. An estimated 1,400 rooters will be on hand from the Connecticut student body to watch their squad match its Minnesota single wingback system against Harlow's newly-instituted "T" formation...

Amateur prognosticators can turn out copy by the reams on such introspective discussion, but all question and hypotheses can better wait until Saturday afternoon, when an estimated 15,000 experts will be on hand to see for themselves...
