As good a runner as he is ought to be fresh and as near his best as possible when he gets to carry the ball." That's one cogent argument, but even Little admits that in such a case there's always the chance that a guy like Kusserow will intercept a pass and run even farther than he would on aft of- There xYccne agdinsi tiou was on intm was Final Chance To Prove Strength Up To LSU, Kentucky BY STERLING LAPPET Associated Press Sports Writer If the Southeastern Conference an anemic youngster with a visible limp intends going on the mend this football season, it will be with the doctoring of a healthy Kentucky and an occasional potent LSU.

Minnesota now invades Ann Arbor for its traditionally bitter "Little Brown Jug" battle with Michigan. Victory would set up coach Bernie Bierman's gang for its first conference title since the 1941-1942 national championship heydays. This slam-bang affair, by far the most important on a Saturday card of four big 10 engagements, should be of special interest to the Pacific coast.

The college passing attack, which was to play an important role according to pre-game speculation, never really materialized, the Wildcats completing seven out of 16 tries, and Tech intercepting four of the tosses.

Stevens, Pennsylvania's state historian, claims the famed "long rifle" was first made in the Keystone state and erroneously became known as the Kentucky rifle because it was the favorite weapon of daring mountaineers operating in the blue grass country.
