By RICK STERN
Talking about Michigan's 34-20
ictory over Iowa, Coach Bump
lliott pointed out last Monday
hat "it's the team that takes ad-
antage of the breaks that wins."
Whether or not Elliott is some
ort of a twentieth century
rophet is yet to be determined,
ut that his statement of a week
go applies very well to Michigan's
0-0 victory over Ohio State Sat-
rday is a fact.
The only touchdown that the
Wolverines needed to nail down
their first Big Ten championship
since 1950 came as a result of a
umble by Ohio State halfback Bo
Rein on a 50-yard punt by Stan
Kemp. John Henderson fell on the
ball, and, after running three
yards, Bob Timberlake fired a 17-
yard pass to Jim Detwiler who
dragged two men over the goal line
for the score. The touchdown came
with only 44 seconds remaining in
the first half.
Biased Fans
The Buckeyes, playing before a
highly partisan home crowd, re-
Iceived gifts in the form of two
Wolverine fumbles and a lucky
bounce on a missed field goal, but
were unable to capitalize on any
f these.
The first fumble occurred early
in the second quarter when Tim-
erlake was tackled hard by Bill
Ridder on, the Michigan 28-yard

OSU was unable to gain.
Second Bobble
The second Michigan fumble
occurred in the third quarter when
teve Dreffer punted to Rick
ygar who fumbled on the State
5. The play was very similar to
he one on which the Wolverines
arnered their TD. But for a third
ime, Ohio State couldn't move the
all.

ent, Ohio State coach Woody

Hayes stated that the key to the
Michigan victory was the fact that
"each team got the breaks but
Michigan took advantage of them,
and we didn't."
The Wolverines' other score
came on a 27-yard field goal by
Bob Timberlake with eight seconds
gone in the fourth quarter.
Coupled with the point after
touchdown, it gave the All-
America candidate 80 points for
the season, more than all nine of
Michigan's 1964 opponents put to-
gether.
Mostly Defense
Except for these brief interup-
tions, the game was a defensive
battle. Michigan netted only 160
yards all afternoon for its lowest
total of the season, while OSU
picked up 180. Punts played a large
role in keeping the score down, as
both kickers contributed fine per-
formances. Kemp kicked nine
times for 358 yards while Dreffer
had six punts for 181 yards.
The Michigan defensive back-
field of Dick Rindfuss, Rich Volk,
and Sygar also received praise
from Elliott for its work in holding
OSU scoreless. Volk intercepted
two passes to halt threatening
Buckeye drives in the final period.
Just last Sunday, Rindfuss had a
cast taken off his leg, yet he, as
well as Sygar played almost the
whole game.
Uphill Battle
The victory climaxed an uphill
drive by the Wolverines which had
seen them, in the words of Coach
Elliott, "climb a ladder" after a
heart-breaking loss to Purdue
which left them in the shadows
of a fourth place tie. Highlights
of drive included victories over
Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa, in
addition to the clincher against
the Buckeyes.
In calling the triumph his
"happiest moment in football,"
the blond haired mentor summed
up the football season by saying,
"We are pleased and proud of our
football team . . . the boys had
great spirit and desire to be out-
standing and they accomplished
this goal."
When questioned about any
effect that the unusual amount of
pressure and publicity of a Rose
Bowl appearance might have on
the squad, Elliott, who played in
the 1948 Rose Bowl, commented,
"It may have an effect. . . We
can't say whether it'll be good or
bad." The coach didn't speculate
on Michigan's possible opponent
in Pasadena or what he might look
for in it. At this point it appears
that the West Coast representa-
tive will be either Oregon State
or USC.

game. Bringing the Buckeye down were Frank Nunely (59) defensive linebacker, Bill Laskey (83) de-

in the 10-0 victory over Ohio State, holding the conference rivals to only 103 yards rushing.

omen's Swim Team Takes

DECEMBER 1 st

By GAIL BECKER
The Michigan Women's Swim
eam placed second in a field of
ix t e a m s at the Michigan
omen's Collegiate Meet held
aturday at Eastern Michigan
niversity.
Michigan finished with 68 total
oints to Central Michigan's 85.
The score, however, doesn't tell
he whole story. Swimming with
nly a seven girl team, the Mich-
gan swimmers placed first in nine
f 14 events and set nine pool
ecords.
Five*of the swimmers took firsts
n three events. Gail Werbin, Col-
egiate National Champion, took
he 50-yard breaststroke in :36.6
and swam on the two winning re-
lays, the 200-yard freestyle relay
and the 200-yard medley relay.
iom Swarte, also a Collegiate Na-
tional Champion, swept the 100-
yard freestyle and the 25-yard
p utterfly and swam on the 200-
yard freestyle relay team.
Backstroker Barb Shell outclass-
ed her opponents with 1:18.7 for
the 100-yard backstroke and :36.6
for the 50-yard backstroke. She
also swam the backstroke leg of
the 200-yard medley relay.
In the 50-yard butterfly, Ellen
Wieland swam to a first place in
:32.4. In addition, she swam on
the two winning relays. Patty
Kelly, also a member of the win-
ning relay teams, turned in a time
of :53.3 for the 75-yard individual
medley which was enough to give
her a first place.
"Our whole problem was depth,"
one of the girls remarked after
the meet. "We were missing three
of our regular swimmers and both

of our divers. We only had enough
girls to enter one in each event;
Central had enough to enter two
or three in each."
Other teams entered in the meet
were Adrian, Eastern Michigan,
Jackson Junior College, Michigan
State, and Wayne State.
