THE MICHIGAN DAILY 5 SPORTWH YS Impossible, but True! MICHIGAN SUFFERED the worst defeat in the school's modern foot- ball history-the worst, in fact, since 1891-last Saturday at Evanston, Ill. Michigan's quarterback, the man that the team's offens. was centered around since the loss of the best fullback in the Big Ten by injury, was also injured. What else can go wrong in one day? Michigan has now suffered too many injuries to count in a season that isn't yet half over. Captain John Herrnstein is lost for the season, finally subduing to the third injury that struck in three games. Jim Byers, touted to be starting center was hurt before the season started. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan is now hoping he will be able to play this week or next 'to replace Herrnstein at fullback. Now Bob Ptacek, who replaced Herrnstein as a co-captain, will need'replacing himself, With a severly injured ankle, Ptacek is out indefinitely-maybe for the' season. Three of the top players on the team-gone. Of the remainder of the regulars, few have escaped injury altogether. Halfbacks Brad Myers and Fred Julian have suffered leg injuries that have slowed them down. Tackles Willie Smith and Don Deskins have been limping on and off, while George Genyk had to be carried from the field at North-western although it was only a temporary injury. Center Dick Syring has also been lame much of the season, while Gary Prahst-Michigan's only truly outstanding player left on the field-has suffered several minor injuries including a broken nose. Quarterback Stan Noskin has suffered an attack of flu and a hip bruise that have kept him out of two games. It isn't unreasonable to suggest that if all of these players-11 to be exact, a complete team-were at full performance level every game, Michigan's team would be about twice as good. Out of the first two strings -the 22 players that Oosterbaan uses the most-this is half who have been unable to play at different times during, the season. Three of them may never play again, and others may never reach 'peak efficiency. 4 Shocking Loss . . BUT TWICE AS GOOD wouldn't have helped last Saturday--that would have meant a score of 55-48, rather than 55-24, and still a loss to Northwestern. Actually, such figuring can't be made. There is no telling what difference Michigan's injured players would have made against the spirited and "high" Wildcat team that raced all over the Wolverines. The question that is bothering most' Michigan fans now is the future. To put it mildly-Michigan followers were SHOCKED Satur- day. A 43-0 halftime score is the nmost fantastic thing that Big Ten scoreboards have seen in many years, and the most uncomplimentary that any scoreboard at any time has ever been to a Michigan football team in only half of a game. Is Michigan this bad? I don't think so. Northwestern's victory was simply a combination of many unfortunate incidents. The lack of a good defensive backfield must be placed number one. The Wildcats-- more so than any other team Michigan will face-had the guns in the form of an untold number of fast ends and halfbacks and a great passer to take advantage of this weakness. Paired with a line that was fired up much as Michigan's was against Michigan State, the North- western offense was unstoppable in the second period. This spirit was fed with an unusual number of "breaks." The loss of Ptacek and Noskin's inability to enter the game meant the use of John Spidel, a quarterback who hadn't seen action all season. ,Un- doubtedly nervous, and unaided by his line against the hard rushing Wildcats, Spidel made mistakes. Fumbles and intercepted passes gave the Northwestern team the breaks necessary to score five touchdowns in nine minutes. Thus, in one short part'of the second period the final outcome of the game was has'tily decided. Michigan won the second half, 24-12, but it was all a hoax. The Wolverines might as well have packed up and gone home at halftime. It is sometimes too bad that runaways have to be played out-it simply meant more injuries, more hard feelings, and more laughs for the Wildcat fans. It was no longer a ball game.f Can't Be Excused.... HOW CAN SUCH A runaway occur? The fact that Michigan was without a staunch quartereback and a solid line explains the offense inability. But was there any excuse for the defense ineptness? No, there can't be excuses for the ineffective play of the Wolverines during the NU holocaust of touchdowns. Things like that aren't sup- posed to happen in the rugged, balanced, Big Ten-not when both teams have 11 men on the field. The 41,345 fans that saw that second period will probably never see anything like it again in their lives. It was one of those one-in-a- lifetime things-the only thought now is that it was too bad Michigan had to be on the wrong end of the doings. It can't be explained, it can't be excused-it simply happened. Whether any team could have stopped Northwestern once the momentum was started is only a hypothetical question. The only thing that can be assured of is that it should never have started. Michigan's pass defense should have been tougher, and the line should have pushed back as hard as they were pushed. The game was decided in the first few minutes. When Michigan went backwards instead of for- wards on their first try, the trend of line play was established for the day. When Thornton completed his first pass for a touchdown, the scoring trend was started. Neither stopped until the game verged on the ridiculous. There should be a lesson for the future in this contest. In the past Michigan did -the initial pushing, and the initial scoring-but always failed to hold the edge throughout the game. Last Saturday the Wolverines let NU start the fun, and found themselves so far behind that they couldn't come back the second half. The moral should be simple-you have to play the game for the entire 60 minutes. Try Sonething New... ?' IS OBVIOUS that the course of Micpigan's team this season is on the downgrade. First they win, then they tie, then they lose, then climb. By comparative scores Michigan has placed itself on the same they get anihilated. Where to next?' Let's hope they start back up the ladder. But it won't be an easy level as Indiana-the worst in the Big Ten. Minnesota, the next 'M' opponent, lost to Northwestern in a close, hard-fought contest, 7-3. By this standard, the Gophers should wallop Michigan by 27 points. They WILL if the Wolverines play the same kind of game they did at Evanston. Let's face facts. Michigan has lost many top players. They have to depend on depth that they don't have, but the middle of the season is no time to give up and play dead. The injury to one man, meaning the absence of a quarterback, is no reason to let the other team runi wild. It is reason for offense to sputter, but not defense to collapse. Speed, strength, and even ability can't be learned-but desire can be. And that was the major weapon that Northwestern used last Saturday. Maybe Michigan should try it again this week-it worked against Michigan State for half a game.,If used against Minnesota for 60 minutes it might result in a Wolverine victory.

The Colts added 40 points of insults to the already injured De- troit Lions and submerged the winless group on the short end of a 40-14 total. The story is simply told with the passing arm of John Unitas and the fumbling of Hopa- long Cassidy composing the plot. Paul Brown threw his "shock .troops", -- Milt Plum, B ,o b b y Mitchell and Jimmy Brown - at the befuddled Pittsburgh Steelers. Bobby Layne managed one scor- ing pass and Cleveland won easily 27-10. The Chicago Bears took out their title to second place by rout- ing the Los Angeles Rams, 31-10 at Wrigley Field. The Bears. "toughened up" after the Rams attempted to rough Coach George Halas. With his right arm in a cast, quarterback Lamar McHan charged off the Chicago Cardinal bench and uncorked his passing arm. Hitting Gern Nagler with two passes, McHan led the Chi- cagoans to a 23-6 win over the New York Giants. Green Bay made a futile at- tempt to move into the winners circle, but the Washington Red- skins said no, by mauling the Wis- consin, unit, 37-21. Ed LeBaron maintained his supremacy in the pass department. John Brodle replaced the in- jured Y. A. Tittle and proved him- self adept at throwing a football. The reserve quarterback passed for two touchdowns with Hugh McElhenny contributing the oth- er' two to give San Francisco a 30-24 decision over the Philadel- phia Eagles.
