against Michigan in the critical game
of the season's Big Ten football ser-
ies is one of the most formidable tri-
ple threat men in the conference to-
day. Martineau is the northern
school's hope for Walter Camp's All
American team for 1923.
- Captain harry Kipke
Michigan's All American half b
who will make :his last fight for
Maize and Blue on Ferry field in
deciding game for the Conference 1
this afternoon, faces a grueling ga
with four veterans gone from
Michigan lineup. Throughout the

COACHE S OF WOLVERINE ELEVEN
With several of its star players on the hospital list,
Michigan's 1923 football squad faces the strong Minnesota
team today in a contest; which is a crucial one froni the
standpoint of.the Wolverines.' Today's game will determine
whether or not Michigan is to bcast of an unbeaten eleven
for the second consecutive year. Last year's schedule was
completed with a clean record for the Maize and Blue, and
in the seven tilts which have preceded today's clash, the
Yostmen have been returned the victors in every instance.
Case, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, M. A. C., Iowa, the Marines, and
Wisconsin have all fallen before the onslaught of the Maize
and Blue machine.
With Uteritz, Blott, and VanderVoort out of the lineup, the
Wolverine gridders face a tough game with the Gophers.
These three men helped Michigan to remain in the undefeated
class last year, and were vital factors in the team's success
this season until forced from the lineup by injuries.
READY FOR THE CURTAIN
TODAY'S TROPHY
The Little Brown Jug'
(At left) The famous Little Brown Jug, depicted
At the left, is again the prize for which the grid stars
of Michigan and-Minnesota are battling. Conference
championships are open to all members of the Big
Ten, but the two contesting universities in today's
game are the only ones to play for a private trophy.
Stolen by Mi'nnesota from the Michigan camp in
1903, when the teams played to a 6-6 tie, it remained
with them until 1906 when Michigan recovered the
lug. From 1906 to 1919, Michiga'n retained posses-
sion, losing it in the latter, but regaining it a year
rater.

with cheers from packed stands, as n
Gopher rooters will be on the scene.

Injury Is
Loss To Varsity

ine center, who will be unable to play

country. Blott will be replaced by
Bob Brown, '26, who ulnderstudied the
veteran so ably at Wisconsin.
