The Golden Gophers halted the heretofore unstopped Michigan oIense by the simple process of getting hold of the ball and keeping it. In the first half Crisler's charges had the ball for only 19 plays as a typical Bierman machine ground out nine first downs, most of them by the slow slogging overland' route.

Bump Elliott, who picked it upj and staged one of the day's most beautiful runs to bring the ball back to midfield, but the ball's striking the goal posts made it an automatic touchback and Michigan took over on the 20. Weisenburger contributed his bit in the fourth period. He took a lateral from Yerges, faded as if to pass, then reversed his field and barreled toward the opposite sidelines. Two Gophers had him trapped until he faked a lateral to Bump Elliott and picked up another five yards to make it a first down. ALUMNI BRING OWN JUGS: Homecoming Clash. Thrills 87,000 Fans Football fever reached its height here as some 87,000 gridiron fans saw the Wolverines nose out Min- nesota under a sweltering Indian summer sun. The first sell-out throng of the season, filling every nook and cranny of the huge bowl, rose to its feet on virtually every play of the action-packed gridiron clash.

'A Jug Is Born' It has been said by some old timers at Michigan that the immortal Fielding H. Yost took greater pleasure in bringing home the Little Brown Jug to Ann Arbor, than in winning a Conference crown. All this began way back in 1903 when one of "The Grand Old Man's" most famous point-a-minute teams invaded Gopher territory with a record of 559 points to zero for their opponents. It was one of those days that have a habit of occuring when the Wolverines and Gophers collide. When it was all over but the shouting, the mighty Michigan eleven had been held to a 6-6 deadlock by the supposedly impotent Gophers. The Minnesota fans went wild. In fact one jubilant individ- ual swiped the Michigan water jug, and the legend of the Little Brown Jug was born.

J. T. White leaped and speared it, then running like a halfback he scampered back to the Wolverine 40-yard line. That was the ball game. But up until that point the Go- phers were conceding nothing. They drew first blood in the sec- ond period when Faunce, after sparking a drive that began at midfield, cracked over from the one yard line to score. Don Bail- ey's attempted conversion was blocked by the whole Michigan line. Michigan got that touchdown back with an extra point to spare as the first half drew to a close. With less than two minutes to play, Bob Chappuis faded and Bump Elliott ran. The Bumper simply outraced the Gopher de- fender and took Chappuis' pass five yards behind the nearest Min- nesotan and breezed into the end- zone. Brieske, making his first boot of the year under pressure, split the uprights. Derricotte Scores The Wolverines' second touch- down came almost as suddenly. yard line, which Jack Weisenburg- er intercepted on the 32 and re- turned to the 21-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Gene Derricotte bolted through a hole off tackle, cut wide and sprinted untouched to the pay dirt. Brieske's kick was wide. The Wolverine defensive unit seemed to form itself around Dworsky in the second half and they held the Gophers to four first downs in the last 30 minutes. The erstwhile cripples, Joe So- boleski, and Ralph Kohl were standouts along with big Al Wis- tert. Chappuis Rushed It was the offensive line that had itself a rough day today. Min- nesota's mastadons, led by 246- pound Leo Nomenelli and Gene Fritz, gave Chappuis a rough af- ternoon.
