  We study the closed universe recollapse conjecture for positively curved
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) models in the Jordan frame of the second order
gravity theory. We analyse the late time evolution of the model with the
methods of the dynamical systems. We find that an initially expanding closed
FRW universe, starting close to the Minkowski spacetime, may exhibit
oscillatory behaviour.
