MINNESOTA MAY
ACCEPT ROSE BOWL BID
PASADENA, Calif. UPV—UCLA’s
Rose Bowl opponent is to be an
nounced tomorrow night but if
Minnesota’s faculty and adminis
tration today approve the trip the
Gophers are expected to be the
nominees.
Minnesota took a shellacking
last year from Washington and
coach Murray Warmath’s athletes
are anxious to avenge the loss.
If the Minnesota administrators
veto the game, Michigan State
may get the UGLA bid from the
Big Five Conference.

1961.
The custom of the dowry, still
practiced in some countries,
wasn’t always a one-way street.
In ancient Greece if a bridegroom
backed out of a marriage con
tract he had signed, he had to pay
the bride-to-be’s daddy 16 per
cent of tiie dowry he would have
received—an early form of heart
balm.
