This Saturday, at Ann Arbor, Minnesota and Michigan will fight for the Little Brown Jug, a trophy that has survived 38 years of football rivalry. Until last week, this year's Michigan team-"wrecked" by the loss of Tom Harmon and Forrest Evashevski-was written off as a pushover for Coach Bernie Bierman's gigantic Gophers, favorites to win the mythical 1941 football championship of the U.S. as they did the 1940. But last week Michigan's omens improved: Michigan outsmarted Northwestern (14-to-7). More important for the superstitious, its victory was won with brilliant touchdown...

Kentucky is the only place on earth where you can see a whole fambly out under the grape arbor oiling up Whinchester rifles and curseing the fambly over on the next creek. Free fights and free profanity may be too much for weak Yankee stomachs. But in a land where famblies are large and funerals are cheap, a few green graves on a green bleugrass hillside is a small price to pay for a virilness that Yankees use to have but have...
