By BILL BRENTON 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. LEO KOCESKI ... injury riddled 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.
