One favorite fell by the wayside,

Psi Upsilon staged a minor upset

Chuck Evans continued where they

the Psi U's to the win, while Rex

The third favorites, Phi Kappa Psi,
managed to squeeze out a 9-8 decision
over Phi Sigma Delta after a wide-
open battle. Dick Bennett performed
as expected for the winners,- kicking
two field goals for six points. Ralph
Read was the offensive -star for Phi
Sigma Delta, but the real standout of
the game was tiny Hanley Wolf,
goalie, who turned in one of the best
performances of the day.

second round with a 5-3 win over

Minnesota Given

Lengthy Workout
MINNEAPOLIS-(IP)-Contrary to
custom, Coach Bernie Bierman sent
the entire Minnesota football squad
through a lengthy drill Monday, op-
ening preparations for Saturday's
clash with Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Only three men, all or them injured
in the loss to Northwestern, were ex-
cused from the workout. By John-
son, right tackle, suffered a dislocated
elbow in the Wildcat battle and, his
physician said, will be lost to the team
for three weeks. Harold Van Every
and Bruce Smith were the other in-
jured Gophers, each suffering a leg
injury. Both, however, will be ready
to play against Michigan.
