Tradition Colors Battle For Jug Wolverines Are Ready To BreakGopher finx Wistert, Wildung To Duel For All-American Honors; Don Lund Will Start At Fullback For Varsity IDENv24cHCOMBEB The-future of a small, cheap drink- ing jug will be at stake when Michi- gan lines up against Minnesota today. But behind this simple sentence is the story, of . one of football's greatest traditions, the Little Brown Jug. It is also the story of eight barren years for the Volverines, eight years in which they have not been able to regain possession of the trophy, sym- bolic of Michigan-Minnesota grid su- premacy. Back in 1903, a Michigan eleven traveled to Minneapolis to renew a rivalry begun 11 years before. They brought with them a small jug used for drinking water and worth only about $.30. Leaving the jug in the gymnasium during the game, the Michigan squad returned to find it gone, taken by a Minnesota coach who said the Go- phers would have to be beaten before they would return the jug. Because Minnesota was not, at that time, a member of the Big Ten, games between the two elevens were sched- uled haphazardly and Michigan was not able to recapture the Little Brown Jug until 1909 but then the Wolver- ines kept it for ten years. From 1920 to 1933, the Wolverines had the trophy 13 years, losing it only in 1927. Eight years ago, however, Minnesota defeated Michigan and took a grasp on the Little Brown Jug which they have not yet loosened. The jug, which will rest on the Go- pher sidelines today, has inscribed upon it block letters in the school colors of both teams along with the scores of every game since 1903. In recent years these scores have all favored Minnesota, but this week a Wolverine eleven rated as one of Crisler's best will invade Minneapolis determined to bring the Little Brown Jug home again to Michigan. Sophomores and second-semes- ter freshmen are invited 'to try out for basketball managers' jobs. Basketball managers are awarded. numerals and "M's." Those inter- ested should report to practice on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday evening at 7:15.

Everyone expects Minnesota to be at their best, but nobody knows if that is good enough to topple the Wolverines. Of the 33 men who made the trip for Michigan, only one is in doubtful playing condition. Sophomore Bob Wiese, blasting fullback who has been a sparkplug in the powerful Michigan attack throughout the season may not see any action and will definitely not start the fray. His sprained ankle incurred in the third quarter of last week's Northwestern tilt has not fully responded to treatment. Which turns the line-smashing chores over to an- other sophomore, Don Lund, blond battering ram from Detroit. In re- serve is junior Don Boor, who was hampered by a trick knee in the early stages of the season. Gophers At Full Strength Minnesota, riding on the comeback trail after two losses, will enter the game at full strength for the first time since its opening fray with Pittsburgh. Returning to the Gopher linup are three backfield regulars, quarterback Bill Garnaas, and half- backs Bill Daley and Herm Frickey. Garnaas, the spark of the team can- not help but add much needed strate- gy to the Minnesota offense. And his presence alone inspires the Gopher gridmen, already keyed-up for this traditional game as they have been at no other time this year. Daley, a hard-running, pounding halfback, looms as the main offensive threat among the Norsemen. Team- ing with Frickey, a shifty, break-away runner and good passer, he gives Minnesota backfield strength seldom seem. At fullback for the Gophers will be Bob Kula, a sophomore who has earned his spurs as a regular. But Michigan's backfield will not be outshone by the Gopher quartet. With an assembled collection of backs that has been termed the finest in the country, Coach Fritz Crisler will like- ly call on Lund at full, Tom Kuzma and Paul White at halves and reliable Capt. Qeorge Ceithaml at quarter- back. Kuzma Is Ready Kuzma, fully recovered now from a knee injury which kept him out until last week, looks to be in the greatest form of his career. White came back against Northwestern with all the brilliant flashiness of his sophomore year "and appears more than ready and Ceithaml, great field general and sixty minute ball player, will fight it out with Garnaas tomorrow for prob- able all-conference honors. Yet, it's up front that tomorrow's Probable Starting Lineups MINNESOTA Herb Hein, Jerry Mulready..............Ends Dick Wildung, Paul Mitchell ..............Tackles Chuck Dellago, John Billman ..............

Quarterback Tom Kuzma, Paul White .............. Halfbacks Don Lund ............. Fullback contest is expected to be played, Michigan's "Seven Oak Posts" against one of Dr. George Hauser's best lines, and the greater forward wall of the two will receive the laurels of victory. For the Wolverines it will be an iron- man line of Elmer Madar, Al Wistert, Bob Kolesar, Merv Pregulman, Julie DON LUND ... his big chance Franks, Bill Pritula and Phil Sharpe. This unit has allowed a total enemy gain of only 252 yards this season and is being touted as the outstand- ing line in the land and the greatest in Michigan history. Wildung Again Opposing the "Seven Oak Posts" will be a combination of tested Go- pher veterans and newcomers. , At ends, Herb Hein and Jerry Mulready, at tackles, Capt. Dick Wildung, an All-American performer, and Paul Mitchell; at guards, Chuck Dellago, injured this week but better now, and John Billman, and at center Don Nolander. If any line in the country can outplay that of Michigan's this is it. And as the two lines clash, all eyes will be focused on Wolverine Al Wis- tert and Gopher Dick Wildung in their duel for All-American honors. Minnesota has confidence in its forward wall, and it's banking on the fact that the Michigan line must play almost an entire game without relief. The Wolverines, though, are supreme- ly conditioned and they themselves know the true worth of the mighty "Oak Posts". If the rock-ribbed Michigan wall can hold, Minnesota. will have to take to the air, a depart- ment where they have been none too successful. Football Today.. .

It was from Fred Delano, the energetic publicity director of Wolverine ath- letics. It concerned weather in Min- neapolis, and here's what it said: "Bring snowshoes, sled and skiis. Weather approaching 1932 level." All thoughts were immediately directed towards prevailing Minne- apolis weather, and the prospect of playing in a muddy, sloppy field did not appeal to anybody since Michigan's tricky offense would have less chance of clicking than it would on dry, hard turf. But when tile Wolverine entourage arrived this morning, all doubts were, laid aside. True, it was snowing-but' very l.ightly, hardly enough to even notice. And the air was crisp and cold, the ground solid. Michigan's at- tack if executed properly, can work in this atmosphere. And as several Twin City scribes have pointed out, cold weather with a thermometer hovering around 50' should benefit the Maize and Blue. Michigan's vaunted line, weak only in reserves, stands less chance of getting all played out as it did against the Iowa Seahawks when the day was hot and sultry. This means, if true, that the "Seven Oak Posts" will be able to perform their ironman stunts with less difficulty than heretofore. * * THIS city has really gone football crazy. In nearly every store win- dow there are huge placards bearing pictures of Michigan and Minnesota players. Large photos of the famous Little Brown Jug, football's most prized trophy, are exhibited in every hotel lobby. People on the street speak of nothing else, and hotels are com- pletely booked, with hundreds being turned away at every hostelry. Cab drivers have caught the fever and are ready to fight with any passenger who says an unkind word against the Gophers. Two pages of every Minne- apolis paper have been devoted to the game alone, with feature stories and news angles being played in boldface. It's football hysteria at its -peak. * * * DR. GEORGE HAUSER, coach of the Minnesota aggregation, was speaking. He has a great deal of re- spect for the Wolverine line, and said so in no uncertain terms. "If they have weakness," Hauser commented, "I haven't been able to find it." He went on to say, "My only guess is that our Gophers will have to be at their best form of season to have a chance." And Coach Fritz Crisler of Michi- gan gave Minneapolis reporters a taste of his reticence on the eve of the game. "We have just a fair team," Crisler told them, "and I wouldn't want to say any more about the game. It'll be close and we'll do our best." W IN OR LOSE there shpuld be a student reception for this Michi- gan team when it pulls into Ann Arbor Sunday. It arrives at 2:33 p. in., and every student should make it his business to be there. This team is fighting mad and it will put up a great scrap tomorrow. It has surprised nearly everybody by its remarkable performance this season, and students would do well to give it a warm hand when it comes home. That send-off Thursday by the ROTC gave many a Michigan gridder a tug at his heart' strings, as they afterward confessed. We brag about our team when it wins and we should help it by showing some appreciation. Win or lose, you can be proud of this Michigan team, and it won't hurt anybody to show it. **.4 * RIFTWOOD AND SPLINTERS: Michigan's being ranked as the favorite at eight-to-five must come as something of a shock to Minne- sota . . . it's the first time since 1934 that the Gophers haven't been the pre-game choice in betting .,. that is against a collegiate rival.. . they were on the short end of the odds when they played the Iowa Seahawks this fall. Crisler has lost only six games since he came to Michigan five years ago... and four of them have been to Minnesota . . . which has stirred up a lot of comment in local journals that this time he's due for a better break.

The Illini, who went through the 1940 and 1941 campaigns without winning a single important game, have rolled up four straight decisions this year under their new coach, Ray Eliot, and included in their list of victims mighty Minnesota, a 20 to 13 loser two weeks ago. Notre Dame, after starting out in mediocre fashion with a tie against Wisconsin and a defeat by Georgia Tech, started rolling when they beat Stanford two weeks ago. 'Cats Want This One EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 23.-(1)-The national and "Big Ten" champion- ship hopes of Ohio State, currently the country's No. 1 football team. meet their stiffest test of the cam- paign to date tomorrow in battling Northwestern, perennially a sturn- bling block to teams nursing such ambitions. A crowd of 40,000 is in prospect. Sharply intent on stopping the four-game winning streak of the Buckeyes is a Northwestern eleven that has won only one game this year, a 3 to 0 decision over Texas, and has dropped two straight encounters in conference play to Purdue and Michigan. The Wildcats therefore will be working on the thesis of everything to gain-mostly its lost prestige.
