Needless to say, Michigan did
not arrive, at Pasadena expecting
to play the role of the underdog,
and Coach. Yost made his feelings
un the possibility of Stanford
crossing the Maize and Blue goal
line quite clear: "Do you think we
came 2000 miles to be scored upon
when we have gone through a
season without such a thing hap-
pening?"
After the traditional parade, a
much larger crowd than skeptics
expected filled the seats and
grounds, and by the time things
were ready to go, it was nearly 3
p.m. on the dusty field.
Nice Try
The game began, and for a
while it looked as if the heavier
Stanford players might make the
Wolverines yield enough ground
for the Cardinals to score. Indeed,
they twice attempted field goals in
the opening minutes of the con-
test. Bill Traeger drop-kicked from
the 40- and 45-yard lines, but

Other variations from the mo

Three days before the game, in
a Michigan practice, there was
banter about equaling the 19021
score. Jim (Mr. Automatic) Bries-
ke promised his teammates that
he would kick the extra point for
every touchdown they scored.
Fast Start
The Maize and Blue, boasting
seven players who received various
All-American honors, began the
scoring with 10 minutes gone in'
the first quarter. After a fourth
and seven gamble, the first scoring
drive ended .as Jack Weisenburger
rammed over the line from the
one-foot line, his first of three
touchdowns from that distance.
Everyone pitched in as one of
the greatest offenses in modern
college football history ran and
passed for 491 total yards. Also
tallying in the game were Chal-
mers (Bump) Elliott, Gene Derri-
cote, Howard Yerges, and Dick
Rifenburg. Bob Chappuis account-
ed for 230 yards through running
and passing, and Henry Fonde
tossed a 45-yard scoring aerial.
Topping things off, Brieske ful-

All this, and the Wolverines were"
outweighed by 15 pounds per man.
Fritz Crisler became the second7
coach to return to Ann Arbor suc-I

Three years later, Bennie Oos-1
terbaan became the third Michi-
gan coach to travel west on New
Year's Day. The famous story ofr

all that stopped them from scor-
ing a second time.
Oosterbaan was quiet in the
locker room. He said little. But
Captain Al Wahl and Chuck Ort-
mann woke the team up with their
own fight talk. Being disgusted
with their play in the first half,
they decided to do something
about it when they went back on
the field.
Michigan began playing five
men on both offense and defense.
Fritz Crisler came down from the
press box to sit on the bench. And
the Wolverines bogged down Cali-
fornia's offense in the third pe-
riod and assumed control. Al-
though dominating play, the
Maize and Blue could not cross
the goal line until there were only
10 minutes remaining in the game.
At that point Michigan launched
an 80-yard drive, mostly on Ort-
mann to Don Dufek passes and
Dufek's running. Fullback Dufek
finally scored from the one-yard
line. Harry Allis converted, and
the Wolverines took the lead, 7-6.
About this time, the scoreboard
clock broke down, as if it couldn't
bear to see a repeat of the last two
California losses.
After exchanging fumbles, Mich-
igan held the Bears on a fourth
down pass attempt, and three
plays later, it was Dufek again-
this time from the seven. The
