...Johnson played tailback, and so he is not unaccustomed to the position, although the plays which Chief Boston teaches the Freshmen have little in common with Harlow's.

...Williams had been alive last week he would have been proud of this year's Gophers. At Ann Arbor, before the largest crowd (85,753) that ever crammed into the Michigan Stadium, Minnesota met its old rival in a titanic tug of war for the Little Brown Jug for which they have tugged since 1903, when Dr. Williams' upstarts held Yost's famed point-a-minute Michigan team to a 6-to-6 tie. The water jug Michigan used that day was held as hostage by delirious Minnesota students, has since served as their traditional trophy...
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.

Besides highly-touted Northwestern, which had rolled up 92 points in its first two games, Michigan has beaten Michigan State (19-to-7), Iowa (6-to-0), Pittsburgh (40-to-0). Minnesota's three victims are Washington (14-to-6), Illinois (34-to-6) and Pittsburgh (39-to-0). If the Gophers beat Michigan (as they have for the past eight years), they still have Northwestern, Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin to tackle...
Last week, 124 years after it was founded, the University of Michigan celebrated its hundredth anniversary for the second time. Four years ago Michigan held its first centennial, commemorating its establishment at Ann Arbor. That celebration flopped when a zealous alumnus dug up an old State Supreme Court decision holding that the university's existence dated back to the 1817 founding of the "Catholepistemiad" (University of Universal Studies), a Detroit secondary school that held no college classes...
