little BROWN JUG"
IS GRID GAME STAKE

MINNEAPOLIS, November 23.-Ap-
proximately 1000 students braved
snow and slush last night to bid fare
we'll to the University of Minnesota
foot ball team when Il left for Ann
Arbor, Mich, where tomorrow the
Gophers will face the Wolverines on
the gridiron.
The team was reminded that not
only an opportunity to tie or even
win the western conference cham
pionship awaited 1t. but also the little
brown jug" was at stake.
The Michigan jug, which Is ne!th
er brown nor little. is a huge. gray.
one time water container. The Goph-
ers would rather win that trophy
than anything except possibly the
title. In the party that left was Os-
car Munson. custodian of equipment,
who first found the Michigan jug In
the basement of the Minnesota ar
mory. after a long-passed Michigan
game.
When the Michiganders wrote for
their jug, which had contained a
water supply for their team. DIR. l.. J.
Cooke, then athletic director. work
ing with Munson, replied that the
Michigan team could have their jug
by winning the next game. and the
rivalry has endured since that time.
And If the Gophers win tomorrow s
game. Munson VIII guard the jug
from harm on the long trip back to
Gopherdom. 4 large group of Mime
sofa rooters accompanied the team
and from the ticket sale here, it is
estimated more than 500 Gopher fans
will see the game at Ferry Field.

MIDDLE E.SOLDIER TILT
IS rubber" AFFAIR

NEW YORK, November 23.-The
Army mule and the Navy goat resume
belligerent relations tomorrow afternoon.
At the Polo Grounds fianked by the
middle brigade on the one hand and
the cadet regiment on the other. the
foot ball elevens Of Uncle Sans service
schools clash in their twenty-sixth en-
Sagement, and as each institution has
won twelve and tied one Of the games
to date, their battle tomorrow will de-
termine the leadership.
Foot ball followers, knowing the con-
ndence Of the cadets and middieS and
mindful Of the closely matched records
of the contesting teams, expect the
Polo Grounds contest to prove the most
thrilling and closely fought in the long
history of service grid relations
Neither team comes to the field with
a perfect record The Army has fallen
before Notre Dame and Yale, and the
Middies have bowed to Penn State and
have been tied by Princeton. But each,
in the course of the season, has dis
closed itself as powerful combination.
The Cadet team has been installed a
slight faVorite. II Is made up largely
OF veterans from the 1922 eleven, which
defeated the Mddies whereas several
new names are TO be found in the eleven
which will represent Annapolis. West
Points offensive record, which has
totaled nearly twice the number of
points the Navy team produced, is
another factor influencing the estimate.
In Wood and Smythe the Army boasts
two hackfleld stars who have proved the
suprior Of any Of the Middle combina-
ton. and Woods punting and off-tackle
work and Smytho'S broken field efforts
are expected to prove the features of
the Ar1ny's play.
