The apparently fictitious offers OF

football players to throw the Min

the University Of Minnesota cam

outstanding stars on the Gophers,
Fritz Crisler, Minnesota coach
and director of athletics, did not
take the letters seriously, but said
he planned to turn them over to
the postal authorities today for in
vestigation. The letters were
mailed from Madison, site of the
University of Wisconsin, and signed
"a. w. Burzik" The contents and
signature were typed on Hotel Lo-
raine stationery.
In a telephone conversation with
Coach Crisler, the manager of the
Lorraine hotel, revealed that no such
person as ga. w. Burzik" had been
registered there.
The letters, all the same, read:
