Early games (1898–1906)

1898: First meeting

1898: Illinois vs. Michigan

1 2 Total Illinois 5 0 5 • Michigan 6 6 12 Date: November 12, 1898 Location: Detroit Athletic Club Grounds, Detroit, Michigan Game start: 3:00 p.m. Game attendance: 3,500

Illinois and Michigan met for the first time on November 12, 1898. Michigan won, 12–5, in a game that was played before a crowd of 3,500 spectators at the Detroit Athletic Club grounds. Heavy rains earlier in the day had turned the field into "a veritable sea of mud."^[13][14] After five minutes of play, "the men were plastered with mud,"^[15] and the wet field contributed to poor footing and difficulties handling the ball. The Wolverines won despite what one writer described as "ragged play" that included a number of penalties for offsides and "keeping of hands."^[13] Clifford Barabee scored Michigan's first touchdown as he was shoved across the goal line by his teammates. Illinois' only score came in the first half after Michigan's fullback, Alanson Weeks, fumbled, and an Illinois player picked it up and ran 50 yards for a touchdown.^[13]

1906: Michigan's final conference game for 12 years

1906: Illinois at Michigan

1 2 Total Illinois 5 4 9 • Michigan 11 17 28 Date: October 27, 1906 Location: Ferry Field • Ann Arbor, MI Game attendance: 5,000

On October 27, 1906, Fielding H. Yost's Michigan Wolverines defeated Illinois, 28–9, before a crowd estimated at close to 5,000 persons at Ferry Field in Ann Arbor. The 1906 game was played on a soggy field resulting from "a constant rain of fourteen hours."^[16] The rain continued throughout the game, resulting in a slippery ball and numerous fumbles. Illinois turned the ball over four times on fumbles, and Michigan did so three times. On the first play of the game, John Garrels ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Pinckney ran for the Illinois touchdown — the first allowed by Michigan since 1904. Joe Curtis scored 18 points on three touchdowns and three extra points.^[16][17]

The Illinois game was Michigan's only contest in 1906 with a member of the Big Nine Conference. Michigan was engaged in a dispute with other conference schools and left the conference, resulting in a hiatus that lasted for the next 13 years.
