'Ward Will Start At End;
Michigan Expected To
Depend Upon Passes
With a hand-picked squad of 31
Wolverines representing the peak of
skill and strength on the Michigan
team, Coach Harry Kipke and his
staff will entrain for Minneapolis at
5 p.m. today for the annual Mtchigan-
Minnesota football game Saturday
afternoon in the Memorial Stadium.
Except for an early practice sched-
uled before the squad leaves town,
the final drill for the encounter with
the title-bent Gophers was held yes-
terday at Ferry Field. Place-kicking
by John Regeczi and defensive tacticsf
took up most of the attention.
Stabovitz Goes
Among those chosen to take the
trip is one boy who has worked with-
out much encouragement during the
season. Chester Stabovitz, a sopho-
more end from Chicago, was not even
on the invitation list for pre-season
practice, but showed up and has been
working hard ever since. He will go
as one of the ends, along with Frank
Lett, Mike Savage, Matt Patanelli,
Willis Ward; and John Rieck.
Jerry Ford, Russ Fuog, and Bob
Amrine are going to handle the prob-
lem at center. Captain Tom Austin
leads the list of traveling tackles, ac-

night.

with decisiveness, the cross-country3
team representing Phi Kappa Psi fin-a
ished first, second, and fifth to cap-J
ture first place in the annual inter-
fraternity cross-country run yester-
day afternoon. Clayton Brelsford, Phi,
Psi sophomore, and winner of the,
event last year, ran the mile andj
three-quarter course over the Univer-
sity golf course in 9:28 to lead the
pack once again. Ed Devine, also of
the Phi Psi, placed second, and Dick
Gergensmeyer of Theta Xi was third.
Bob Thorn finished fourth, and Steve
Mason rounded out the victorious Phi!
Psi squad with his fifth place.
Eight houses entered the meet end
made the competition particularly
keen. The Theta Xi's placed second
to Phi Psi with 24 points. Follow-
ing them with 30 points was Alpha
Kappa Lambda. Phi Kappa was fourth,
with 34. The points and scoring are,
determined by adding up the places
which each team gets. The aggregate
is their total score for the meet.
Field Spreads Quickly
The runners left Yost Field House
at approximately 4:30 p.m. in a close-
ly bunched group. The boys began
to straggle out quickly, however, and
Brelsford assumed a lead which was
never seriously threatened. Clayt ran
a good race throughout and appar-
ently finished with plenty to spare.
His only worry after the mile mark
had been passed was from his team-
mate, Ed Devine.
The shortening of the course from
two and a half miles to a mile and
three-quarters made the going easier
for all of the competitors, and at the
samentime reduced the danger of over-
strain.
Twenty-one men, representing eight
houses, entered the run. Three men
from each house had to finish in order
for a house to place. The interfra-'
ternity cross-country run is one of the
oldest contests supervised by the in-
tramural department and year after
year draws a host of good teams.

The jug was stolen from its Ann

attained such importance, an exact

The duplicate still remains but there
