Monday's meeting in the intramural office set off a
fire which is certain to spread over the entire campus.
A cry of indignation has been raised against the athletic
department's attitude toward intramural touch football.
It seems the practice fields west of the Coliseum are to be
taken op by the freshman and
B teams. This means that the
large number of men who yearly
participate in I. M. football are
supposed to settle back and Qlay
"tiddely winks" for the current
touch football season. Actually
we wonder just how much of the
practice fields the freshmen and
B teams need. Maybe the univer
sity should forget about the Jack
Best trophy and hold intramural
bridges games.
Our solution to the problem is
simple. Allow intramural touch
football games to be played on
the null in front, of the coliseum
and rive part of the practice field
to the west of the coliseum back
to intramural play. It is only right
that the treat humber of men who
participate in intramurals be
riven adequate playing space.
Minnesota's grid squad could
appropriately be called "Giants of
the North" this year. Eight
Gopher linemen on the squad
weigh 220 pounds or more. They
are Guard Don Anderson, 230;
tackles, Dave Blanchard, 226; Bill
Carrol, 25; Jerry Ekberg, 223;
Ed Johnson. 224; Bob Mealey, 222;
Leo Nomellini, 250, and center,
Clayton Tonnemaker, 232.
In strange contrast, the Minne
sota varsity backfield group av
erages less than 180 pounds, with
the halfback average under 170.
We doubt very much that the
Gopher backfield will have much j
trouble with al! that beef up front
to push opposing teams back.
With all the talk about colleges
buying football teams Minnesota's
Bernie Bierman seems to have
little trouble keeping home state
boys on the campus. Out of the
36 men Bierman intends to use
on his travel squad only five come
from outside the state of Minne
sota. The Gopher mentor figures
that the homes of these 36 ath
letes are an average of 96 miles
from the campus.
No longer will the University
of Minnesota football team be
called the "Golden Gophers." The
familiar woollen gold jersies
worn by the Gophers through
their national championship years
of 1934, 1935, 1936, 1940, and 1941
have been replaced by two sets
of lightweight rayon jersies one
with maroon numbers on white,
and the other with white numbers
on maroon. No longer will Min
nesota players be caught by op
posing teams and pulled to the
ground by their jersies, accord
ing to Bierman.

Means Announces Touch
Football May Be Dropped
The intramural program suffered a severe blow Mon
day when it was announced at the first meeting of the
intramural committee that the intramural touch football
fields must be taken over; for the use of enlarged fresh
man and B team activities. .
Lou Means, director of intramural activities, an
nounced that every possible playing site was being in
vestigated in an effort to keep touch football on the
intramural agenda.
Another meeting of the intra
mural committee has been called
Friday to take decisive action on
the matter.
The intramuraj picture was
brightened by the announcement
that six new grass-tex tennis
courts are to be added to the
intramural facilities in the near
future. Horse shoe courts, bad
minton and shuffle board courts
are soon to follow in the growing
program.
Tourney play will begin in the
tennis singles on Oct. 3 and con
tinue until completion. Fall golf
follows on Oct. 17 and winds up
Oct. 24.
Mr. Means expressed his grati
tude at the turnout of the first
meeting when 35 fraternity and
independent organizations turned
out.
In response to the interest that
has been shown in the intramural
program by participants, many
new and expensive trophies are
being added to this year's collec
tion. All intramural trophies are
on display in the foyer of the new
intramural building.
The first event on the schedule
will be the free throw tourney to
begin Sept. 28 at 3 p. m. and end
Oct. 4. All students who have not
