appears that Ptacek could start1
today. His leadership qualities will
be a most important factor in de-
termining whether Michigan can
bounce back. At yesterday's "dress
rehearsal," the quarterback said
his ankle felt pretty good.
Noskin Is Back
Another good sign for the Wol-
verines is the fact that Stan Nos-
kin is also back in form after
missing last week's game because
of a hip injury. This means Mich-
igan will have its one-two quar-

Line Remains Same
Michigan's starting line will be
intact. However, problems occur'
in the second line. Tom Jobson
still is not able to play and Willie
Smith is probably out for the re-
mainder of the season.
Today's game is the 49th in a
series that dates back to 1892.
Michigan has won 30, including
last year's 24-7 win, and lost 15.

MICHIGAN GRADUATE OF 1904:
Tells True Story of 'Little Brown Jug'
(This is the true story of the Little ,3
Brown Jug, as told by Thomas B.
Roberts, a graduate of Michigan in
1904. The story has been passed on!
to The Daily by Mrs. George L. Pal-
mer of Chelsea, a 1956 graduate.)
By THOMAS B. ROBERTS
It is a fact that I played an'
important, though at the time un-
witting role in the founding of.
the tradition of the Michigan-
Minnesota "Little Brown Jug,"
frequently referred to as America's
most famous football trophy.
It is also a fact that all tradi-
tions, in the passing of the years,j
acquire many inaccuracies.
The chief inaccuracy in this in-
stance is that whereas, in all theJ
magazine and newspaper stories,
as well as the radio broadcasts
pertaining to the famous Jug, event
in the athletic records on the
Michigan campus, you will find'
frequent mention of one Oscar
Munson, a janitor of the Minne-j
sota gym.

The Jug was not brought from
Ann Arbor as all the accounts
have it, but was purchased in a
little variety store in Minneapolis
at the cost of just thirty cents. It
was a five gallon jug, therefore not
"little" and was originally about
the color of putty, therefore not
"brown."
Hammond Saves Day
Neither team scored during the
first half (there were no quarter
periods then), and the going was
rough and rugged. Time and timeF
the day was saved for Michigan
by the toe of fullback Tom Ham-
mond, the late Brigadier General
Thomas S. Hammond, until his
death as President of the Whiting
Corporation of Chicago. His kicks
that day averaged 50 yards. 1
After the intermission, Michi-
gan came out fighting. And with
Hammond, tackle Joe Maddock,
and the great Willie Heston carry-
ing the ball, Michigan finally
drove across the goal line (a five
point score in those days) and
Hammond kicked goal - score,'
Michigan 6, Minnesota 0,
The Sunday papers gave Ham-
mond credit for the touchdown,
and Ann Arbor accounts written
years later say it was Heston. But
it was actually Maddock who'
carried the ball over.j
Can't Protect LeadI
Michigan then fought valiantly
to protect the slim margin of that
hard earned score, but it was not
to be. In the thickening darkness
of an incipient snowstorm and the;
gathering shadows of a dreary
October afternoon, a giant Minne-
sota tackle is said to have crashed

to tie the score.

tackle Bill Schact with the touch-1
down. It was really made by a!
then obscure substitute, now a re-
tired wealthy physician of St. Paul,
Dr. Egil Boeckmann.
I have his letter which states:
"I have to go back to ancient his-
tory, but I did substitute as full-
back and make the touchdown. We
had three yards to go for a first
down and six yards for goal and
made the goal on a cross-buck;
that is, I stood behind the right
guard and went through between
left guard and center,"
Game Ends Early
The game still had two minutes
to go, but those two minutes were
never played. The frenzied Minne-
sota crowd surged onto the field,
sweeping along with it the little
student manager who had pur-
posely abandoned his thirty cent
jug which had served its purpose.
Michigan's first game in three
years that was not a victory be-
came history.
The following Monday morning
when Munson, the Minnesota
janitor mentioned above, was
cleaning up the litter on the fields,
he discovered the jug on the Mich-
igan bench and took it to the
Athletic Director, who labeled it
with the euphemistic legend,
"Michigan jug,. 'captured' by Os-
car. October 31, 1903."
That game was so brutal that1

Michigan and Minnesota severed!
athletic relations until 1909. At
that time Minnesota wrote, "We
have your Little Brown Jug, come
up and win it," which Michigan
proceeded to do by the score of
15-6.
Minnesota did not see the jug
again for 10 years until 1919, when
the Gophers won, 34-7.
Perhaps it is a matter of poetic
justice that the Jug, now over a
half-century old, has spent ap-
proximately half of its existence
on the campus of each of these
two great universities.
I CAN STATE THESE FACTS
WITH SOME DEGREE OF AC-
CURACY BECAUSE I WAS,
THAT STUDENT MANAGER
FOR MICHIGAN.
And in conclusion, if you will
permit me to paraphrase the words
of Robert W. Service:
"These are the simple facts of
the case,
