The Michigan back- ,fieldfurnished the opportunities on fumbles, as all four 'M' fumbles were recovered by Ohioans. The first fumble was by Ptacek, and OSU took over on the 'M' 23- yard line. The plucky 'M' defense held after the Bucks hammered down to the two-yard line, only to have fullback Gene Sisinyak fumble two plays later and give Ohio the ball on the 'M' 11-yard line. This time the determined Wol- verines couldn't hold, as halfback Dick LeBeau skirted end on third down for a seven-yard touchdown. Dave Kilgore's conversion at- tempt was wide, leaving the game 6-6.

No 'M' defenders were near the halfback, as he took the pass on the eight-yard line and waltzed in. The attempt for a two - point conversion failed as Herbstreit dropped a pass from Fields in the{ end zone, leaving Michigan with a 14-12 halftime edge. The final Michigan drive capped a fourth quarter that was marked by continual 'M' frustration. Early in the quarter one of the two Ohio interceptions of Ptacek passes gave the Bucks the ball on the Michi- gan 25-yard line. White Fumbles However, White fumbled on the second play, and Michigan again began to move. This time it was a holding penalty that forced the 'M' squad to punt. % Again the Buckeyes seemed ready to march down the field, but a terrific pass interception by M' center Jerry Smith gave Mich- igan the ball on the Ohio 34-yard line with less than four minutes remaining. This time Ptacek stuck to the ground, and the Wolverines plug- ged toward the goal line. Half- backs Myers and Darrell Harper carried to a first down on the Ohio 13, and after two more run- ning plays failed, Myers took a Ptacek pass on the four-yard line. This made it fourth down and a yard to go, with less tan half a miTute left in the game. Ptacek sent Myers off right tackle, where he fumbled when hit by the OSU line, and end Dick Schafrath re- covered the ba;0 on the three. One H aircutting To please you!!

Old Problems Haunt '' It was the usual problems-pass defense and failure to take ad- vantage of opportunities to scoreI - which spelled the Michigan failure. However, the remarkable' thing is that the Wolverines were in the game at all. The Michigan line, fired up on both offense and defense, was cer- tainly fighting to give Oosterbaan a fond farewell. On offense the 'M' line gave Ptacek the best pro- tection he has received all year. On defense the Wolverines held OSU's famous "Mr. Inside and Outside" combination to only 143 yards. White gained 77 on 25 at- tempts while Clark netted 66 in 13 tries. Clark's yardage, however, was enough for him to get a new all-time Ohio State three - year total, breaking the former mark of All-American Howard "Hopa- long" Cassady. -Daily-Robert Kanner HARPER MOVES - Darrell Harper (41) moves with the ball in the first half of the game against Ohio State yesterday. He wad the leading rusher for Michigan, averaging eight yards a carry for three attempts. In the background is end Gary Prahst (86). Imported from Ital y S PORT-WHYS The Gorious Humdred COLUMBUS-Bennie Oosterbaan coached his last game for Michi- gan yesterday afternoon in Ohio Stadium. It was only fitting that his 1958 squad should play their best game of the year for his finale. Bennie bowed out in fine style. His team played a terrific game. It dominated the contest, played against an Ohio State team that was supposed to be the nation's best this fall. The Wolverines carried their coach off the field while the public address system boomed a farewell message from Ohio State: "Ohio State University would like, at this time, to express every good wish to Coach Oosterbaan as he terminates his coaching career. We are proud of our long relationship with Mr. Oosterbaan and his Michigan teams. To a distinguished and worthy opponent in the field of intercollegiate athletics, and to a respected representative of a great university, we say-Good Luck, Bennie." Over a period of 11 years Oosterbaan's Michigan teams have compiled a winning record that is matched by few collegiate coaches. His teams have won 63 victories, lost only 33 games, and tied four. Winning two Big Ten titles and sharing another, his teams have been in the first division of the Conference every year until this one. Over this period Oosterbaan has achieved a Rose Bowl victory and been named "Coach of the Year." All that was missing ysterday to make the perfect finale for Bennie was a victory. Same Old Problems .. IP{ AT'S THE STORY of the 1958 Michigan gridders-all that has been missing is victories. As was usual, the Wolverines again out- played the opposition, but couldn't outscore them. Michigan had 24 first downs to Ohio State's 12, and the 'M' squad outgained the Bucks, 376-262. It was the same story all year, as Ooterbaan's team wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunities offered. They moved the ball well at midfield, but almost always lost initiative near the goal- line. At first it seemed that yesterday's game would be an exception, as Michigan burst through with two first-half scores for a 14-12 half- time lead But another perennial problem became apparent. The second half was a different story. Michigan won the first half, but lost the second -and as goes the second half, so goes the game. After playing a great first half on both defense and offense, the Wolverines were unable to cope with the Buckeye power in the third quarter. Despite a valiant try at game's end, they still fell victim to the second-half blues. , Injuries continued to plague Oosterbaan's final year as coach. Almost half of the starters were ailing. The breaks also went against Michigan, as they lost all four fumbles that they dropped, the most crucial ones leading to OSU's first touchdown and spoiling the final 'M' bid. The biggest problem yesterday, and the one that has hurt Michigan all year, was backfield defense. While the line played a great game, allowing only the third of the OSU touchdowns, the OSU touchdown that put them back in the game before the first half ended was set up by a longpunt.return, and some nice passing by quarterback Jerry Fields. The touchdown itself came on a 25-yard pass, to a man that wasn't covered at all. . .. Spoil Bennie's Finale SO THE VICTORY was missing for Bennie's finale, because his team made the same mistakes that they had made all year., The odd thing is, that these mistakes would have gone unnoticed here yesterday if they hadn't been a perennial occurance. "The boys played their best game of the year," Oosterbaan said afterwards. "They fought like the devil, and outplayed a really fine team." It was the final game for the seniors, and ten of them got Into the contest. The most outstanding were quarterback Bob Ptacek and end Gary Prahst, who combined for all' 14 of Michigan's points on passes. Other' starters who won't be back next year are end Walt Johnson, guard Jerry Marciniak, center Dickey and fullback Gene Sisinyak. The other four are tackle Jim Gray, halfbacks John Batsakes and Jack Zachary, and fullback Jim Byers. All ten of them played a game that ,von't be forgotten for years to come. For Bennie it is an OSU game that will be treasured along with the 34 others that he has had a part of as Michigan player and coach. Undoubtedly it will rank in his mind along with the three that he helped win as the greatest pass receiver in 'M' history, and the one called the "Snowbowl"' when his 1950 team won a trip to the Rose Bowl. It will be remembered because he brought in a team that wasn't given a chance, and he left with everything but a victory. It was Bennie's 100th game as head coach, and a glorious hundred they have been. * Types up to 8 copies 0 Roller 101 inches wide * Platen free head 0 2 coloured ribbon * Automatic ribbon reverse * Erasing plate * Double paper support S4995 U BUY and SAVE at State Street at' North U.
