And we r lost. You gotta win. Now we've got to suck it up, and get it in our minds that we are going to I win next week." --Tony Mason 1 By JIM TINDALL Special To The Daily EVANSTON, Ill. -- Michigan's Wolverines had to fight the Battle 1 of the Bulge all over again yes- terday in. Dyche Stadium, and the Blue wound up on the short end of a 34-22 score. The Battle of the Bulge had t nothing, to do with the Wolverine ' waistline, but rather with the awe- some, brutal display of power by ; the offensive lines of both teams. Powerful Blue Offense' j How good was the Michigan~of- fense? They were kept from scor- ing only four times: two of these were a blocked kick and a fumble (both, were Converted into North- western touchdow ns). T e othe passes when Michigan had to pass to score.-, How good was the Northwestern offense? When asked if North- gasnedid not expect, oach Bump Elliott said, "No, they just did it better." Defensive !ine coach Bob Hol- loway said after the game, "They beat us at the line of scrimmnage-. Their line hit us hard and once they had momentum, we just couldn't stop them. It was fairly even in the first half, but. they shoved our defense around pretty good in the second half." Defense Outhit No single team has been. able, with such regularity, to run through the Michigan defense for an.. entire game as Northwestern did yesterday. Three, four,. five yards 'at a , crack were reeled off by the Wildcats as they marched up and down the field in Ohio State style. As Elliott said, "We were simply outhit on defense." Bob McKelvey was, the headpin of the 'Cat backfield as he lugged the ball an unbelievable 35 times; picking up 136 yards. The 220- pounder was, stopped for a loss only once and that was for a scant yard. Frustrated Mason On the other side of the fence, reporters found a frustrated of- fensive line . coach in the Michi- gan dressing room. "Frustration" Wa:S the only word for Tony Ma- son, who whipped last year's of- fensive line into a rugged, preci- sion',outfit, to describe yesterday's game. Reflecting on the entire season, he said, "This year's been so blessed frustrating. I can't believe it. We score 13, and they score 14. We' score 15, and they score 16. "Lookdoas these statistics. We had 2l first downs, and they had 20. We gained. 216 yards rushing, and they had 211. Yet they had 17 c more running plays than we did. ' That is a powerful line. i "From the very beginning we i knew we could move the ball against them, but we had to have I the ball. WE HAD TO HAVE THE BALL. Keep Away "Our linemen said, 'Any way i you want to go, we can move 'em -the defense.' But they kept the bal away from us. We had to , stop ourselves. j "The offensive line played an outstanding game out there. When we were down by two and a half touchdowns in the last period, our boys knew we could score and still win. They weren't walking around with their heads bent. They were just aching to get their hands on the ball and move in SsrOffense olds Own "Going into today's game we were second in the conference in ' offense, and we picked up more than 300 yards today. So we at least held our own in that depart- Michigan's rushin statistics were fairly even with all four back- field starters carrying ten times or more. coThe hWoleinres nsde , iv sault and battery if they had been blocking on the street the way they did. no the field.

Those two exceptions were crucial. One was a blocked kick on the Michigan one-yard line in the second quarter (the first blocked kick of the year), and the other was a Wally Gabler fumble on the Michigan 43-yard line which was converted into a Wildcat touchdown a few plays later. In the fourth quarter, Michigan had the fall three times. The sec- ond time, Dave Fisher ran it over from the one, culminating a time- consuming 91-yard scoring drive. Sandwiched around this were two series that were halted by in- complete passes as Michigan was forced to go to the air in an effort to get on the scoreboard. Gabler injured his knee slightly on his leap into the end zone for Michigan's first touchdown with 49 seconds left in the first period, but came back to finish the game after sitting out a series. ' Coach Bob Rolloway said in the dressing room that, although the injury wasn' t serious, "it did slow him to set his foot well when he went back to pass," which led to several low, wobbly, un-Gabler- like tosses in the final stanza. (Continued from Page 1) t The first attempt was good but z called back on a penalty. Then the Wolverines lined up to kick, but the snap went through holder ' Ernie Sharpe's mitts straight to f the kicker, Sygar. Kicker Sygar became thrower, and tossed one to runner Ward. E A Northwestern man batted it in- to the air, and catcher Ward grab- bed it near the 10. Catcher Ward ran back to the 50-yard line and launched another attempt to biz- come the n e xt quarterback. Thrower Ward's illegal pass was incomplete as five men battled for, it ;on the goal line. .That was Michigan's last excit- i ing moment. Northwesterni took the next kickoff and a penalty Put it on the Wolverine 4tt. It took nin plys efoe McKelvey put it j Next time the Wildcats had it, they did it again. Virtually the same way, a Gabler fumble put the ball on the Wolverine 42. It took seven plays before McKelvey put it over from the two. The Wolverines added one anti~- climactic touchdown in the middle of the fourth period. A pass in- terference call put the ball on the' and Ward scooted in for 25.
