I-M Bldg.
gh I-M football and the
game share the same name
e the same type of ball,
where similarity ends. Since
s no equipment, such as
and helmets, used in the
ural sport, the rules are de-
to keep injuries to a mini-

touching the ball carrier

with one hand anywhere between'
the shoulder and the knee is re-
quired. However, a "tackler" may
not leave his feet to make the
stop. Neither are players allowed
to leave their feet when blocking.
Players are not allowed to take
the, three-point stance.
There is no charging the punt-
er. The kicking team announces
its intention to punt and must
punt to the opposing team.
Passer's Heaven
Any player on the field is an
eligible pass receiver. The passer,,
of course, must throw from be-
hind the line of scrimmage.
Once the ball hits the ground it
is dead. This rule prevents play-
ers, piling on a loose football,
which often causes injuries.
In order to prevent "sleeper"
plays, the offensive team is re-
quired to huddle after each play.
Shorter Field
The field used in intramural
football is somewhat different
than. the varsity field. The I-Mt
field is 60 yards long, divided into
three 20-yard playing zones. The
end zones are ten yards deep. In
order to get a first down a team
must cross from one - 20-yard
playing zone into another in four
downs or less.
Scoring is virtually the same as'
in regular football, except that
there are no goalposts. Six points
are awarded for a touchdown. All
PAT attempts are single plays
originating from the three-yard
line.

For when the game, which end-
ed in a 6-6 tie as 30,000 fans
stormed onto the field with two
minutes left on the clock, was
over, the jug was left behind. Two
days later, janitor Oscar Munson
picked it up and took it to the
athletic building, thinking of re-
turning it to Michigan.
The authorities thought other-
wise. "We have your Little Brown
Jug, come and win it back," they,
wrote Michigan.
Michigan-though it was not
until six years later-did just that,
and not until 1919 was a Min-
nesota squad able to claim vic-
tory and the Jug from the Wol-
verines. In the years since 1903,
Michigan has rolled up a 33-19-
3 edge in the battle for the jug.
Who Needed It?
Was it really necessary for Rob-
erts, who later was awarded the
University's Distinguished Service
Medal, to buy the thing in the
first place?
Certainly the fact that this
was one of Fielding Yost's "point
a minute" teams-at 565 points
for 12 games in 1903 the mon-
icker was no idle boast - could
have been expected to encourage
Minnesota to try something out
of the ordinary against Michigan.
And it's a fact that play dur-
ing the game itself was so brutal
that day that the two schools sus-
pended athletic relations until
1909.
In any case, the jug will be
rooted out of this year's storage
space in Yost Field House-the'
jug the schools display in their
trophy cases is a replica - in
time to be flown with the team
to Minneapolis, there to be used
in the annual post-game victory
pictures.
And, if.things go well, Michigan
will be able to bring the jug home
again for the second year in a row.

most valuable- player in 1964
when he led St. Louis to the world
championship, was traded by the
Cardinals yesterday to the New
York Mets.
The Cardinals received third
baseman Charley Smith and left-
handed pitcher Al Jackson in the
trade, which may be the forerun-
ner of a house-cleaning by the
Redbirds, who finished a disap-
pointing seventh last season.
Plus Farm Hand
The Cardinals also must give
up an unnamed triple A player to
complete the deal.
Boyer, suffering from a back
injury much of the season, was
one of the biggest of the Cardinal
disappointments in 1965. The 34-
year-old Boyer slumped to a .260
batting average, batted in only 75
runs and hit 13 home runs.
Just one year earlier, he led the
Cardinals to their first pennant
in 18 years, hitting .295 with 24
homers and a league-leading 119
RBI.
Smith, 22, hit .244 this past
season for the Mets, had 62 RBI
and 16 home runs.

Jackson. 29, has won more
games for the Mets than any other
pitcher in the team's four-year
history-40. Last season he won
eight and lost 20.
Boyer, who has been named to
the All-Star team seven times, has
spent all of his 11 major league
seasons with the Cardinals.
One of the league's best fielding
third basemen, he also normally
batted in the clean-up spot and
formed the Cardinals' one-two
punch with Stan Musial and then
Bill White.
1000 RBI
Boyer has hit 255 home runs
and driven in 1,001 runs. His ca-
reer batting average is just under
.300.
Last season was Smith's second
with the Mets. He hit .239 in 1964,
slammed 20 homers and drove in
58 runs in 127 games.
pJackson, a little guy at 5-foot-9,
163 pounds, features a fast ball
and sharp breaking curve. His
best year was 1963 when he was
13-17 with a 3.96 earned run
average.
