This guy must spend his autumn Satur- days practicing the dead man's float in Lake Mendota. Yet the contest was not a yawner. It sim- ply wasn't conducive to those yummy statements that keep re- porters scribbling on their yellow pads. Michigan was expected to win, and it did. Wisconsin was expect- ed to improve but lose, and it did. So what else is new? It would take Casey Stengel's writers to get good material out of this football game. The game itself was not a dud, but it never set off any fireworks either. Those long kickoff returns and the last-minute touchdown generated excitement which ended with the final gun. Silence . . Milt Bruhn talks to the press in his office with the reporters gath- ered around. When he called for questions, the response sounded like the city room of the New York Herald-Tribune. Man, it was dud. Finally, Bruhn and his sidekicks did get around to chattering- A really moving commentary on the Ohio State-Minnesota game. Back in the Michigan locker room, things were really humming. The sound of the showers was sim- ply fascinating. The reporters were making thrilling questions.

In the third quarter Dave Fisher took his favorite pitchout play 34 yards to the two, setting up the third Mich- igan score.

"Pulling the face mask against Red (Wisconsin)," explained the official. Replied Elliott, "We'll take the game, thank you." -Associated Press TEARING AT BADGER FULLBACK Wayne Todd, Michigan linebacker Frank Nunley and another unidentified Wolverine hold him for no gain.

But somehow that seems less re- h t i f munerative than bouncing up and By BILL LEVIS Special To The Daily MADISON - The Michigan freshmen were unable to hold on to "a raisin in the sun" against the baby Badgers yesterday as they lost to Wisconsin 25-14, at Middleton High School. Playing against the treacherous early morning sun on the high school field laid out from east to west, the Wolverine frosh fumbled two kickoffs that resulted in a pair of Wisconsin touchdowns in the first quarter. The Badgers also turned an early pass interception into a score which gave them a 19-0 lead with three periods to go. Michigan freshman coach Bill Dodd said after the game that "the sun may have been a factor, but Wisconsin outhit us in the first half. We just couldn't get the ball out of our own territory when we had it and we just couldn't field the kickoffs." Too Tight to Tackle The disappointed coach went on to say that "we were tense out, there and just couldn't get into the ball game in the first half." The young Wolverines had trouble stopping the Badger offense al- most all day long. Led by quarter- back Lou Ritcherson, the son of Wisconsin varsity coach Les Rit- cherson, the novice Badgers out- rushed the Maize and Blue 192 to 116 yards. Wisconsin scored its first touch- down with five minutes to go in the first period after Badger John Broders intercepted a pass thrown by Wolverine Brian Healy. Brod- ers ran it back to the Michigan 33. Several plays later Ritcherson scored easily on a 15-yard sweep around right end. Who Forgot Sunglasses? Michigan fumbled the ensuing Badger kickoff and pickedup its own miscue only to drop the pig- skin again, this time with the Badgers recovering on the Wolver- ine 17. After a gain of ten yards on a run by Stu Voigt, Ritcherson passed to Mel Reddick in the left corner of the end zone for the score. The extra point was blocked by Michigan's Richard Caldarazzo. On the following kickoff, Mich- igan fumbled again, and John LeLonde recovered for Wisconsin on the Michigan 14-yard line. A few plays later, Ritcherson scam- pered around right end for ten yards and the score- The extra point try was again blocked, this time by Eric Sorenson. Pryor Primes Defense The Michigan defense, which had been allowing the Badger runners to sweep around the ends in the first quarter, tightened up the rest of the game, as the Wol- verines only allowed the Badgers one more score- Led by 6'4", 230- pound Cecil Pryor of Corpus Christi, Texas, a linebacker, the Michigan defense bore down. Phil Seymour, the cousin of Notre Dame's pass-catching end Jim1 Seymour, broke into the Badger, secondary several times to dropi the Wisconsin signal caller for big losses. "In the second half, the Wol- verine attack began to open up,"i according to Coach Dodd. "We1 were tense in the first half, butE we began to move in the second.1 We didn't make any changes, we1 just began to be ourselves out there." Curtiss to the Rescue Tom Curtiss went in to quar - terback Michigan in the second half and sparkplugged the offen- sive effort. John Gabler, brother of former Michigan quarterback Wally Gabler, topped all MichiganI rushers with 55 yards in 14 carriesI while Tom Weinmann gained 321 yards in 10 carries. The Wolverines got on the scoreboard on the first play of the fourth quarter as Curtiss passed ten yards to Jim Mandich and then hit Bill Harris for 48 yards and the final score midway in the last period. Michigan attempted a two point conversion after both touchdowns, a Curtiss-to-Mandich aerial giving the Wolverines two markers after the first score. The second try fell incomplete. Mandich and Harris ranked one-two in pass catching for the Wolverines as .they gathered in three and two, respectively. The Badgers were paced on the~ ground by Voigt who carried the ball 19 times for 60 yards, and in the air by Ritchersonswho com- pleted four of nine passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns. Red- dick, who led the city of Chicago in basketball scoring last year, was the favorite target of Ritch- erson, grabbing three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Shades of Bubba Smith Wisconsin was not without its Texas-bred youngsters as big Lucius Blair from Houston, Texas, led the Badger defenders. He was brought to Wisconsin along with Frank Louis, a mammoth defen- sive tackle from Beaumont, Texas, by Coach Ritcherson. The morning was marked by sloppy play as Michigan fumbled eight times while the budding Badgers fumbled seven times. The big difference was that Wisconsin was able to recover four of Mich- igan's fumbles while the Wolver- ines could only get one of the opposition's. The Michigan frosh hope to improve their performance when they meet Toledo next Friday aft- ernoon at Ann Arbor High School in their second and final game of the season.

UNION BALLROOM Subscribe To THE MICHIGAN DAILY I blame Milt Bruhn, or the half of the team lost to ineligibility and resignation, or whether it was the lackluster 22 who were left, the student body seems to have dis- owned the Badgers in favor of the Kollege Klub Bar and Lake Mendota. Pro Defeatism Even Diane Seidler, sports editor of the Daily Cardinal (and a girl, yet), mechanically moaned some- what before halftime, "If they score again, they'll lose by one lousy point anyway." That's call- ed professional non-involvement. Now at Michigan, you can tense your right kneecap for Detwiler in remembrance of times past, yell "Go Fish" and glow with the as- surance that Fisher will gain yard- down for a winning team. But There's Schinke Wisconsin does have record' holding Tom Schinke who booted eight for ten field goals this sea- son and who Diane approbated with, "When you have a lousy team, it's refreshing to see one guy who is good." But Schinke evoked unheartfelt applause for his ac- complishments. The solution for the Badgers might be a few resounding victor- ies. It must taste like bitter coffee to admit that a game you lost sub- stantially was your most interest- ing one. w . l I 'M' Badgers Wisconsin MICH.

Once upon a time there was an ugly little bug. It could go about 27 miles on just one gallon of gas. It could go about 40,000 miles on just one set of tires. And it could park in tiny little crevices no big- ger than a bug. It was just right for taking father to the train or the children to school. Or for taking mother to the grocery store, drugstore, dime store and all the enchanting places mothers go when everyone else is working. The ugly little bug was just like one of the family. But alas, it wasn't beautiful. So for any important occasion the poor ugly little bug would be replaced. By a big beautiful chariot, drawn by 300 horses! Then, after a time, a curious thing happened. The ugly little bug (which was made very sturdily) never got uglier. But the big beautiful chariotdidn't exactly get more beautiful. In fact, in a few years its beauty began to fade. Until, lo and behold, the ugly little bug didn't look as ugly as the big beautiful chariot! The moral being: if you want to show you've gotten somewhere, get a big beautiful chariot. But if you simply want to get somewhere, ,; f : to the highe A IN m
