1, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Varsity Drills On Defense; RegecziWorks On Place-K icking 31Wolverines Entrain Today For Minnesota '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- Renner Not To Play In Minnesota Game Bill Renner, whose ankle injury in the first weeks of fall grid prac- tice has kept him out of all the games played to date by the Wol- verines, will make the trip to Min- nesota with the squad but definite- ly will not be in condition to enter thehgame, Coach Kipke said last night. Phi Kappa Psi Successfully Defends STAR,* Spells More Trou ble For Michigan Brelsford Runs Course In 9:28 T+o Place First Repeats Victory Of Last Year As Mates Finish Second And Fifth By FRED BUESSER Repeating their victory of last year. 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. I .

The jug was stolen from its Ann Arbor recluse in 1931. Because the legend of the little brown jug had attained such importance, an exact duplicate of the stolen jug was made, and it substituted ,for its missing twin until the fall of 1933 when the original jug was found on the campus in the hedges alongside the library. The duplicate still remains but there is no significance attached to it.
