Jacob Ruppert. As a youngster he was too busy working to concern himself with sand-lot games. In- stead of going to college and lending his poweriui physique to the glory of the gridiron, he tackled kegs and bags ot grain in his father's brewery. He never bothered about learning to ride, but his money financed a famous racing stable. the inner workings of big league base- ball, but he bought the New York Yankees and gleefully watched them) win seven pennants. He declined to take time out for travel, but delighted | in gathering men-of-the-world and | explorers about him. Most of the | xreat adventures and flyers—among | them Admiral Byrd—are his friends. ** * So Colone! Ruppert is a sportsman by proxy. He doesn’t, he declared, | give a whoop whether there is an ice-| covered inland sea at the south pole. Or whether the geological formations yesemble those of South America. If there's no life, other than little spid- | 7s, on the Antarctic Continent, that’s ail right with Colonel Jake. Hej doesn’t want to start a Little Amer-| ica baseball league. nor yet store beer | an the Ross Ice Shelf. He is con-| cerned with this expedition because it | «s a blood-stirring adventure, a sporting encounter with the grimmest | of odds. He is proud, of course, that Byrd's base ship has been re-christened the Jaeob Ruppert. He hopes it will prove’ staunch. He also hopes the 70 mien enjoy the 2,000 cases of beer he has put aboard. Colonel Jake had a lot of fun figuring out how to pack that beer, in special boxes lined with 10 inches of felt, so it can withstand | temperatures of 80 degrees below zero.

He likes to spend a lot of money on his hobbies. In 1915, when he bought the New York Yan- kees in partnereship with Col. Tilling- hast !Hommedieu Huston, he gam- bled at least two millions. Later he bought out his partner, and found himself the sole owner of a $5,000,000 paying enterprise. For Babe Ruth alone, Colonel Jake paid $100,000 and! made a loan of $350.000 to the Bos- ton Amer: s.

Pardonner Is Sure Pardonner, a stubby little quarter- \ ack, has dropkicking to add to his {list of accomplishments and he has a mark of 21 points after touchdown out of 23 attempts during the past two seasons. Pardonner concentrates on calling signals and blocking but he ds an elusive runner at returning punts. Hecker averaged 4.5 yards as a ball- power runner. Carter already has shown Minnesota fans what he could do by scoring the single touchdown in last year’s game. Doxie Moore is an- other deceptive runner whom Noble Kizer will send at the Gophers. Minnesota's backfield will include three sophomores. Francis “Pug” Lund is the only experienced player behind the Minnesota line and‘he will carry the kicking and passing burden ‘again. George Roscoe is expected to start at right half with Sheldon Beise at fullback. Glen Seidel will be at quarter, with another sophomore, Babe LeVoir, ready to relieve him. Julius Alfonse, also a sophomore, showed some flashes of ball carrying ability against Indiana and he may break into the lineup at any time.
