Wolverines Rebound with First Big Ten Wini

Early Michigan Safety Gives Winning Margin;
Glinka's Passing Attack Clicks Against Purdue
0)

(Continued from Page 1)
McRae's breakaway, Michigan
moved consistently deep into Pur-
due territory.
Fullback Bill Tunnicliff's charges
up the middle spearheaded the
thrusts after Glinka's passing had
loosened the Purdue defense. Hav-
ing the best day of his career,
Tunnicliff continually ripped off
large gains and finished the after-
noon with a net gain of 90 yards
in 19 carries.
Regardless of his efforts, one
drive misfired when McRae fum-
bled on the Boilermaker two-yard
line and another went awry when
Bickle's field goal attempt went
wide. A third was stopped on
downs at the Purdue 36, and the
seemingly insignificant first quar-
ter made the final difference.
Two Boilermaker fumbles set it
up, the first coming after they had
taken the opening kickoff and
marched to the .Michigan 38, and
the second after forcing the Wol-
verines to punt.
Score Safety
Halfback Tom Boris misplayed
Scott Maentz's low kick at the
Purdue 15 and was finally dropped
on the eight by Ken Tureaud. A
quarterback sneak got one and
then DiGravio, in an attempt to
cross the Wolverine defense, pit-
ched behind Boris on the goal line.
Boris ended up with the ball, but
the Wolverines were on the score-
board, 2-0.
Less than five minutes later

Michigan had a 9-0 lead, largely
on the strength of Glinka's right
arm. Unable to move on the
ground, Glinka hit McRae for 10
and a first down on the Purdue
43. Five plays later the duo re-
peated the performance for 31
yards after a holding penalty had
pushed Michigan back to the Pur-
due 47.
Two shots by McRae at right
tackle moved the ball to the one*
where Dave Raimey carried for
the score.
Miss Chance
The Wolverines missed a golden
opportunity to break the game
wide open two plays after the
kickoff. The fourth Purdue miscue1
of the period gave Michigan the
ball on the Boilermaker 24, but a

fourth down pitchout to Raimey
strayed and Purdue took over at
the 26.
Purdue, however, too good a
football team to be kept down for
long, scored midway in the second
period and before it was over
threatened to take the lead.
DiGravio, running from the tail-
back slot in Mollenkopf's surprise
of the day-the "modified shot-
gun" offense--chugged through a
host of Wolverines to score from
the Michiagn 13 and cut the mar-
gin to 9-6. Omer Ohl's kick made
it 9-7.
Drive Stalled
Then late in the period another
fumble stalled a second drive on
the Michigan six. Reserve quarter-
back Gary Hogan was jarred loose

from the ball on a keeper play and
taclke Will Stawski fell on it to
preserve the Wolverine lead.
Summing up the game in the
locker room, Elliott called it "a
good one to win." Special praise
went to Glinka, who threw for 179
yards on nine completions in
eleven tries. Only a pass dropped
by end Bob Brown in- the first
quarter and a near-touchdown
completion to McRae flying down
the sideline in the third quarter
kept him from a perfect day.
