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 i.uiuc iicuvcu a uv cua vi iz u yaaua in 142 plays by the end of t game-an average of better the 10 yards per rush. Blizzard Snow tallied five times in t game. Heston, later an All-Amer can, did not score although. ground out 170 yards in 18 carri It is claimed that Yost used hi only as a decoy on the touc: downs. After building a 17-0 halftir lead, the Wolverines came ba to score 32 more points before t game was called 10 minutes ear because of darkness. In those da a game consisted of two 35-minu halves. Other variations from the mo ern game were the use of a 11 yard field, and the fact that a fir down could be made by gaini five yards in three downs. Scori was thus: a touchdown, five point a field goal, five points; and e tra point, one point. Ouch! Meanwhile, the Cardinals cc lected a broken collarbone, tN broken ribs, and a fractured le Victory was even sweeter for Yo because the year before he h been Stanford's coach, but h been replaced because Stanfo was not his alma mater. But when Hurry-Up Yost led r triumphant point-a-minute tea back home, it was to be 46 yea before a Michigan eleven return to Pasadena. The Rose Bowl was discontinu until 1916, when the Wolverin again were sought. But this tin the bid was turned down. Not until 1947, after an und feated season, did Michigan acce a bid to play in the 1948 Ro Bowl. Coach Fritz Crisler used a tot of no fewer than seven basic fc mations that year, and made go+ use of the two platoon system. During the year, as Michig piled up 345-53 total margin victory over nine foes, Cris would not allow the term "Ro he an he ri- he es. m :h- ne ck he rly ys te rd- 0- rst ng ng ts; Ix- ol- wo eg. st, ad ad rd his am rs ed I !!i 4 jj t i .i 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 cessfully after a trip to Pasadena.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 the Wolverine victory over OhioI State in a Columbus blizzard, the3 "Roses that Bloomed in the Snow," is already a legend. Al somewhat surprised Michigan! squad, with only a 5-3-1 overall record, was given the bid, andt went West. And for the first timel a Wolverine team entered Pasa-{ dena as the underdog. California wasted no time. On' the second play of the contestc Pete Schabarum broke loose for! a 73-yard touchdown rin-but itI 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.
