Wednesday, November 13, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven War-torn Badgers stagger into By JIM FORRESTER Wisconsin. The Badgers. What can a fella say? T ha t Wisconsin loses football games? That they are the worst team in the conference? That they rank right at the top of everyone's bot- tom ten? That they may never win a game on the gridiron again? Yes, you can say all of these things and more. Wisconsin is al- most comically unbelieveable. In .their narrow escape with Indiana (they almost beat the Hoosiers) they received six fumbles from their opponents and took advant- age of none of them. On one play, Indiana quarterback Harry Gonso handed off to a Wisconsin defend- er who ran 80 yards plus for a touchdown, but the play was call- ed back as one of the Badgers, after long and laborious search, found a Hoosier and clipped him. Last weekend they i(everted to their usual impotent selves against the Big Ten's second best team, Ohio State, and got blasted 43-8. The Badgers were tough in the first half as they held the,high- powered Buckeye scoring machine to only ten points, but they finally fell apart in the second. The us- ually ruthless Woody Hayes re- lented in the fourth quarter and allowed the Badgers to put eight, points on the scoreboard. .I Big Ten Standings i Big Ten All Games MICHIGAN Ohio State Indiana Iowa Minnesota Purdue Michigan State Northwestern Illinois W 5 5 4 3 3 3 1 0 L 0 0 1 2 2 2 4 4 5 Pet. 1.000 1.000 .800 .600 .600 .600 .200 .200 .000 PF 159 157 133 192 106 135 108 74 65 PA 56 73 117 144 104 77 91 201 147 w 7 7 6 4 4 6 4 1 0 L 1 0 2 4 4 2 4 7 8 Pet. .925 1.000 .835 .500 .500 .835 .500 .082 .000 PF 229 213 209 258 164 244 171 95 80 PA 96 93 204 243 169 129 128 280 296 town daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: BILL DINNER But the Badger offense stops at this point and goes little farther.
