Getting Ready For Saturday's Game A tractor with a large snowbrush helps get the tarpaulin clear at Michigan Stadium while workmen perform clean0up jobs with brooms and shovels. Wednesday's wet and heavy snow created special problems in getting the 101,001-seat capacity stadium ready for Saturday's Big Ten game between Michigan and Illinois. An estimated 65,000 fans are expected to watch the contest. The Wolverines hold a 34-17 margin in the series, which has never had a tie game.

LATE ARRIVALS: Football fans were still pouring into the Michigan Stadium when this airview was taken of the north end of the stadium Saturday, although the huge bowl looks to be full. Thousands of fans were not in their seats when the game began and missed one or both of the Wolverines' touchdowns in the first quarter.

The 97,000-seat stadium is strange and quiet these days, buried under an accumulated snowfall which all but obliterated seats, railings and retaining walls. The gridiron, kept clear during the regular football season, is covered with snow to a depth of two feet in spots. The University has no plans to shovel out the huge bowl.
