The two teams have been drilling
for the past month: consequently,
they will both be ready to swing
into full speed when the whistle
blows.
Coach Pat McShanc has selected
the eleven men who will start to-

a man OF his weight.

carefree star OF tho Gophers. will
charge 'em from the left guard

man, he has supplied the fans with
more thrills of daring than has any
man on the Gophers.

Swec and Duffy. two little fell
lows of sterling quality. are SEIZED
uled for the right end part OF the
line. They are both young and VIII

so consistently brilliant that It was
