Bitter Battles Bot Jug Rivalry

MICHIGAN'S TOM HARMON punts in the shadow of his own goalposts in the 1940 "Little Brown
Jug" classic at Minneapolis. The national and Big Ten championships were decided by this game, in
favor of the Gophers, 7-6. Note fullback Bob Westf all, who is giving Harmon protection by blocking
out three Minnesotans.
the circumstances of the nine-
game streak which Minnesota had
over Michigan from 1934 through
1942. During this period occurred
perhaps the leanest years in Michi-
gan football history.
The year before the skein start-
ed-1933-Michigan won the Big
Ten championship, although held
to a 0-0 tie by the Gophers. The
next time the Wolverines took it
all was in 1943-the season in
which the string was broken as the
Blue rolled to a 49-6 crushing, the
most one-sided game in the history
of the rivalry.
Only one thing is certain - and
it could prove to be an ominous
factor to Bennie and -his boys -.
anything can happen when the
Little Brown Jug is at stake.
Detroit Ties
With Hawks
DETROIT (fP)-The Deroit Red
Wings overcame a 2-0 Chicago
lead on goals by Bill Dineen and
Ted Lindsay to gain a 2-2 tie in
a National League game against
the Blackhawks last night.
Canadians Lose
MONTREAL (AP)-Don McKen-
ney's goal at 18:28 of a blistering
third period pulled out a 3-2 vic-
tory for the Boston Bruins over
the previously unbeaten Montreal
Canadians in a National Hockey
League game last night.
Irish Gridders
Pack 'Em In
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (.4) - Notre
Dame's football Irish, somewhat
deflated by a 21-7 defeat at Mi-
chigan State last week, are still
college football's greatest draw-
ing card.
They'll play before their fifth
straight sellout crowd tomorrow
in Purdue's Ross-Ade Stadium,
whose newly enlarged capacity of
55,050 will be needed for the first
time.
'M'Quartet
In Tourney
Michigan will send its one-mile
track relay team to the Sugar
Bowl Tournament this year, the
first time any track team north
of the Mason-Dixon line has been
asked to participate in the annual
tourney.
Coach Don Canham's quartet,
comprised of Grant Scruggs, Laird
Sloan, Pete Gray and Dick Flodin,
posted one 'of the best times in
the country last year--3:13.0. They
reigned as Big Ten, Central Colle-
giate, and Ohio Relay champions
last season.
The annual New Orleans tour-
ney will be held at the end of the
football season.
By JOHN HILLYER
What is perhaps the most fam-
ous rivalry in football will be re-
newed this coming Saturday at
Minneapolis.
It will be Michigan versus Min-
nesota-Wolverine battling Go-
pher-in the continuation of a
tooth-and-nail competition which
has proved to be one of the most
colorful in the world of sport--
the scramble for the Little Brown
Jug.
This hallowed hunk of crockery
has caused more excitement at
times in Ann Arbor than ten panty
raids. It is an ancient one, dating
back'to 1903, when Oscar Munson,
Minnesota's athletic equipment
custodian, walked off the field with
Michigan's supply of drinking
water after the two juggernaut,
played to a 6-6 tie.
"Come and Get It"
It was Munson's contention that
the Gophers, having held the great
"point-a-minute" eleven of Field-
ing Yost to a standstill, deserved
the container, and that if the
Wolverines wanted it back, they
could just come and get it.
Michigan holds the edge in the
series--as it does with nearly every
team it has faced-with 24 vic-
tories and two ties in 38 tries. The
Wolverines emerged with the Jug
on 10 of the last 12 occasions of
contest, after the Gophers had won
nine straight.
There have been some bitter
struggles in the competition be-
tween these two schools. Take as
an example the 1940 clash.
All-Star Cast
It has often been said that in
this game appeared the greatest
collection of stars ever assembled
on one field to participate in an
intercollegiate football game. For
Minnesota there was Bruce Smith,
George Franck, Bill Daley (who
later played for Michigan) and
Dick Wildung. Wearing Maize and
Blue were men like Tom Harmon,
Forest Evashevski, Bob Westf all,
Albert Wistert and Ed Frutig.
The 65,000 fans who poured into
the stadium at Minneapolis came
to see a mighty collection of brain,
trusts, too, between Michigan's
Fritz Crisler and Minnesota's Ber-
nie Bierman.
These 65,000 fans, filing out of
the stadium when the game was
ended, realized that it was one of
the greatest of modern football on
record.
Evashevski Scores
The first touchdown of the day
came in the second quarter. Bill
Daley, the Gopher fullback, fumb-
led, and. Michigan's Westf all re-
covered on the Minnesota 10. Har-
mon hit Evashevski with a pass,
and the Wolverines led, 6-0. Then
came the irony.
The great Harmon, whose kick-
ing all day had gotten Michigan
out of jam after jam, missea the
extra point. Then in that same
second quarter, the great halfback
of the Norsemen-Bruce Smith--
thrilled the spectators with an 80-
yard touchdown dash. The extra
point attempt was a success, and,
thanks to the muddy conditions,
that was the extent of the day's
tally.
One point - one conversion -
kept Michigan from an unbeaten
season in 1940, not to mention the
Big Ten title and ranking as the
top team in the nation, all honors
which the Golden Gophers rated
in the end. And Tom Harmon
was given the Heisman trophy as
the outstanding player in the
country in 1940.
