Wolverines Minus Koceski
For Crucial Comeback Tilt
That Leo Koceski will definitely
not see service in Saturday's en-
counter with Minnnesota was the
sad news that reached the Mich-
igan coaching squad as they ran
the team through a light workout
yesterday.

Dr. A. W. Coxon, team physician
reported after examining the in-
jured right halfback yesterday,
that the Canonsburg cannon was
likely to be out for a long time.
"It is unlikely he'll play for two
or three weeks," Doctor Coxon re-
ported.

THE OTHER Wolverine cas-
ualty center Bob Erban, was not
dressed for practice and it is un-
likely that he will see heavy ac-
tion in Saturday's encounter with
the power laden Minnesotans.
Yesterday's workouts featured
signal drills, dummy scrimmages
and kicking practice, as heavy
work was stopped for the week.
Bierman's charges will arrive in
Jackson today and remain there
overnight, going to Ann Arbor by
bus Saturday morning.

THE SPOILERS-This is the
unusual title applied to the Golden
Gophers of Minnesota each time
they meet Michigan's Wolverines.
Year after year it has been the
Riermen-men who have halted
Maize and Blue winning streaks,
deprived the Wolverines of Con-
ference and National champion-
ships or have discouraged the
club for the remainder of the
season.
* * *
ALL TOLD the Gophers single-
handedly have deprived Michigan
of four Big Ten championships,
snapped the Wolverines second
longest modern winning streak
and handed the Maize and Blue
three of their worst shellackings.
And all since 1930.
This season the shoe is on the
other foot. Power-laden Minne-
sota rolls into Ann Arbor to-
morrow boasting a four game
winning streak, leading the Big
Ten, making a strong bid for
the 1949 National champion-
ship and last, but far from least,
seeking a New Year's Day Rose
Bowl bid.
Opposing them is Michigan,
stripped of their long winning
streak and losers of two straight
contests, Bennie Oosterbaan's
charges are listed as a 7 to 13
point underdog. The seemingly
fangless Wolverines are in the
key spot to turn the tables on Lady
Luck and throw a monkey wrench
into Minnesota's high-flying am-
bitions.
WOLVERINE followers of 16
years back remember an underdog
Gopher eleven that stopped a 16-
game Maize and Blue winning
streak in 1933, the same year
the club won Big Ten and Na-
tional Championships only to be
tied by the pesky Northlanders.
Then in 1934, 1935 and 1939,
Biermen's charges really poured
it on. They racked Michigan
teams to the respective tunes of
34-0, 40-0 and 39-6.
Even recent fans can't forget
the Gopher jinx in Tom Harmon's
heydey. From 1938 through 1940,
Michigan lost four games and
three of them were to Minnesota.
* * *
IN '38, '39 and '41 the Maize
and Blue dropped one game to-
you guessed it-Minnesota, and
in each of those years the Gophers
copped the Conference crown.
Worse yet, in 1939, the Gophers
deprived Fritz Crisler's charges of
a league title tie with Ohio State's
Buckeyes.

NOT EVEN BROWN:
1903 St udent Manager
Tells Tale of Brown Jug
By HUGH QUINN
For nearly half a century Mich-
igan's Wolverines and the Minne-
sota Gophers have mauled each
other on the football field for pos-
session of the famous Little Brown
Jug, and there's been a different
story every year of how the tradi-
tion began.
But the real story of the most
fought-over trophy in football was
made known recently by the one
man who should know-the man
who owned the jug.
* ', *
THOMAS B. ROBERTS, '04
,was the student manager of Mich-
igan's "Point-a-Minute" teams
under Fielding H. Yost, and as
such, was with the Michigan team
on Oct. 31, 1903, for the classic
game at Minneapolis.
When the Wolverines went to
Minnesota that weekend, they
had a 29-game winning streak
over two and one-half years.
Wolverine trainer Keene Fitz-
patrick knew the Gophers were out
to win that day, any way they
could. So he sent student manager
Roberts to buy a water jug for a
private, poison-free supply.
ROBERTS BOUGHT the jug
there in Minneapolis. The 30-cent
vessel held five gallons-not ex-
actly a "little" jug. And it wasn't
brown, either.
The game went scoreless the
first half, strictly a battle of
massive lines. Tackle Joe Mad-
dock scored a touchdown for
Michigan early in the second
half, and the conversion point
gave the Wolverines a six-point
advantage.
But that wasn't enough. Minne-
sota came back after the score
with its gigantic tgckle, Schact,
carrying the ball on every play un-
til they pushed across a score and
kicked the point to tie the game.
* * *
THERE WERE still two minutes
remaining, but the frantic Minne-
sota fans flooded the field, and
the game never was finished. And
the jug, no longer needed by Wol-
verines, was left on the bench by
manager Roberts.
The water jug was picked up
with the litter of the field the
following Monday by Oscar
Munson, Minnesota grounds-
keeper. He took it into the ath-
letic director, who gave it the
label, "Michigan jug, captured
by Oscar, October 31, 1903."
The two teams didn't meet fdr
three years after that bloody, ir.de-
cisive game. But in 1909, Minne-
sota wrote, "We have your jug;
come up and win it." And Michi-
gan did just that, by a score of
15-6.
The Gophers didn't see the jug
for ten years after that, until they
beat Michigan, 34-7, in 1919. And
it's been since 1942 now that the
Little Brown Jug has reposed in
its shrine in Ann Arbor.
And Tommy Roberts, at the
game tomorrow, will be waiting to
see Michigan retain the jug that
he ,left behind 46 years ago, be-
cause it was no longer wanted.
