DETROIT, Nov. 14.- (A') - As
baseball men recovered from the
shock of the sudden death of Frank
J. Navin, one name was most prom-
inent today in the speculation on the
successor to the man who guided the
business destinies of the Detroit base-
ball club for more than 30 years.
That name was Gordon S. Coch-
-ane, fiery player-manager, who in
two years led the Tigers from a lowly
place in the American league to a
world championship.
Although Coenrane has thadtbut ,

The "Little Brown Jug" is on its way to Ann Arbor this morning
where it will be the subject of considerable dispute tomorrow afternoon
at the Michigan Stadium when the Wolverines clash with the Gophers
of Minnesota. Oscar Munson, custodian of equipment at Minnesota,
is shown here taking the jug off the shelf to get it ready for its trip
and Munson is hoping to be able to put it back on the shelf for another
year when he returns to Minneapolis. Munson helped originate the
tradition when he pilfered the Michigan water jug after the Michigan
game of 1903.
Tradition Miehigan's Greatest
Aid In 'Little Brown Jug'Battle
By GEO. J. ANDROS
Tradition, if nothing else, makes
Michigan the favorite over Minnesota
tomorrow.
The Wolverines and Gophers have
met 25 times, but not since 1893 has
the big team from up north won a
second successive victory over Mich-
igan.
The annual battle between these
two teams is another one of those
contests in which previous accomp-
lishments of the two teams mean
little or nothing. It is decided strict-
ly on the merits of the teams that
day and few games have seen the
teams below top form.
On the basis of records of the past
two seasons and of recent weeks
Minnesota must be listed as a heavy
favorite,i but that same situation has
existed in past years. Yet the record
of competition shows Michigan has
won 18 games, Minnesota five, and
two have been ties.
Comparable To Illini Rivalry
The "Little Brown Jug" feud be-
tween Michigan and Minnesota is
comparable to the rivalry existing be-
tween the Wolverines and Illinois.
The Varsity left Ann Arbor last Fri-
day heavy favorites to overcome Bob
Zuppke's Indians, but returned Sun-
day thoroughly chastised. There is
no reason to expect that the same
thing cannot happen tomorrow, with
Coach Harry Kipke's boys the victors.
To come back after last week's de-
feat is, of course, what Michigan will
be trying for tomororw, while Coach
Bierman's Vikings will be out to con-
tinue its steamroller tactics, pile up
its twenty-third victory without a de-
feat, and continue on its way to a
second successive National champion-
ship.
Appropriately enough, Michigan was
the last team to come out of a strug-
gle with Minnesota on the right end
of the score, turning the trick in 1932
at Minneapolis in the last game of the
season or both teams.-This game was
played in six inches of snow under
sub-zero weather conditions. Harry
Newman, All-American quarterback,
of the Wolverines, decided the issue
in the last quarter by a field goal
from the 15-yard line with Stan Fay
holding the ball.
Try To Overcome Jinx
The Gophers will also be trying to'
overcome the jinx that has kept them1
from scoring here since 1927, the
year they beat Michigan 13 to 7. They
have been here three times since but
have failed to register a point. The
closest they came to tallying was in
the scoreless tie two years ago when
Pug Lund, twice All-American, broke
through the Michigan line for forty
yards and just missed getting away
for a touchdown, Willis Ward drag-
ging him down from behind across
midfield.
Capt. Bill Renner has good reason"
to want a victory over the Gophers.
Playing in the 1933 game, Renner was
repeatedly thrown for losses by the
hard-charging Minnesota linemen as
he dropped back to pass.
But after all has been said and
done, traditions are made to be brok-
en, and the smart money is on Minn-
esota.
Andy Pilney, Hero Of Ohio
State Win, Lost To Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 14. - (M)
Andy Pilney has played his last foot-
ball game for Notre Dame.
Coach Elmer Layden has disclosed
that Pilney's leg, injured in the Ohio
State game, has failed to respond to
treatments. Dr. J. E. McMeel, team
physician, plans more X-rays of the
knee joint. Pilney is a senior.
sociated with Mr. Navin in directing,
the affairs of the club, and several
observers believe the Tiger president
was grooming Mickzy to become his
successor.
Good Background
Before he was acquired to man-
age the Tigers Cochrane had spent
his entire major league career under
the guidance of Connie Mack in Phil-
adelphia, universally acclaimed as
one of the sages of baseball. During
his stay in Philadelphia Cochrane
was also associated with Eddie Col-
lins ,who has since stepped into an
executive position at Boston and is
credited with much of the success in
the rebuilding of the Red Sox.
This background, coupled with the
aggressive leadership qualities he has
displayed as manager, was cited as a
reason for Cochrane being the logical
choice.
Two others within the Tiger or-
ganization seem to be eliminated from
consideration. It was believed that
Walter O. Briggs, vice-president of
the club, would find it impossible to
spare the time from his other busi-
ness interests to direct the baseball
enterprise. Charles F. Navin, nephew
of Mr. Navin and secretary of the
baseball club, has indicated that
his health would not permit him to
assume the responsibility.
Funeral Saturday
Funeral services for Mr. Navin
will be held at the Blessed Sacra-
ment Catholic Church, Woodward
and Belmont Aves., at 10 a.m. Sat-
urday. Pall bearers will be selected
from the Question Club, a social or-
ganization of which Mr. Navin was a
member.
As word of the death spread, trib-
utes began pouring in from all corn-
ers of the nation. They came from
his associates in major league base-!
ball, from high officials in the city
and state and from members and
former members of his baseballt
eams.
picking the Wolverines to pull a sur-
prise of the week. Michigan support-
ers are praying for a dry field as
passes are expected to form the center
of the Wolverine attack and the Go-
phers have been proven weak on pass
defense.
The Fighting Illini of Bob ZuppkeI
invade Columbus and more than 60,-
000 grid fans are expected to see
what Ohio State will do against the
"razzle-dazzle" offense of the in-
vaders. Fresh from a 3-0 win over
Michigan, Illinois - if its crippled
backfield stars are able to play-
may go well against Schmidt's
charges. However, the latter are
rated above the Illini, despite their
close escape at Chicago a week ago
Jack Blott Given New
Contract By Wesleyan
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Nov. 14. -
(IP) - Jack Blott, former University of
Michigan football player and line
coach, has been given a new contract
as head football coach at Wesleyan
College, it was announced today. The
contract was renewed at the termin-
ation of Blott's two-year trial.
EX-ILLINI DIES
CHICAGO, Nov. 14. - (P) - Glenn
Douglas Butzer, captain of the 1910
University of Illinois football team
that gave the Illini their first Big Ten
championship, died last night at
Mercy Hospital after a prolonged ill-
ness.
Butzer, whose home was Pontiac,
Ill., played guard on the champion-
ship Illini eleven, which was not
scored on.
aeaL M11s DelreUenlg ea ty In-
diana and beaten by Minnesota.
Northwestern, traveling at a ter-
rific pace over the last three weeks,
is expected to dispose of Wisconsin.
However, a letdown by the Purple
from the pace they set in beating
Notre Dame last Saturday, may prove
disastrous for the Badgers seem to
have improved steadily since the first
of the year and in their last start
knocked off Purdue.
After last week's crop of upsets the
experts are ready for anything that
may l4appen tomorrow including wins
by Illinois and Michigan over the two
top teams in the Big Ten. Such a
turn of events, although not ex-
pected, would throw the race into a
three way tie for first with the Buck-
eyes, Gophers and Wolverines again
sharing honors and would probably
call for Michigan's athletic heads or-
dering the circus seats placed in po-
sition at the Stadium for next week's
game with Ohio State.
The advance sale of tickets for this
game is exceedingly heavy and even if
Minnesota wins Saturday a crowd of
approximately 70,000 is looked for.
