Wolverines Outscore Cadets for Season's Firs
st Win
. WINKS THINKS
By Jan Winkelman
Taste of Honey
WEATHER: fair and mild. Temperature: 72 degrees. Wind: 5-10
miles per hour from the southwest. One couldn't expect a finer
day for football. The fans settled back and prepared to take advan-
tage of the weather. "It does not matter so much who wins as
how the game is played." "Pass the cider."
When Army won the toss, people kind of figured that the die
was cast. Bob Brown was sure carrying a tradition to its limit; after
all, you HAVE to win a toss once in a while. Even the law of averages
seemed to be on vacation yesterday . .. for a while.
Then POW. After a penalty-ridden exchange of downs, the big
break came. Despite Bump Elliott's contention that "Jack Strobel's
interception was the turning point of the game," Michigan had
gained the upper hand. When Army halfback Carl Stichweh fumbled
Joe O'Donnell's fourth down punt on his own 32 yard line, the
Wolverines had metamorphosed.
Bob Brown's recovery of the fumble culminated in Strobel's
plunge for the first Wolverine touchdown. The Maize and Blue
began to look like a football team. "Maybe today will be the day."
"Pass the cider."
The rest of the contest, if it could correctly be termed a "con-
test," is now history. The line was punching. The "Raiders" were on
their toes. Raimey was holding on to the pigskin. And most important,
the defensive line was breaking through and coming .down with
a sorely awaited attack of "acute, clean tackling," long overdue.
However, in the process some pretty weird things were going
on, if one had the inclination to notice.

plays later Strobel 'cracked off
right tackle for the score. Sohpo-
more quarterback Bob Timberlake
converted and it was 7-0, for the
first Michigan lead of the season.
Picking up momentum, the Wol-
verines upped the count to 10-0
early in the second period on a
25-yd. field goal by Timberlake.
Aided By Penalties
Michigan had pushed 82 yds. in
14 plays aided by two personal foul
penalties against the Cadets to the
Army seven, but Dave Glinka's
third down pass went wild and the
Wolverines settled for three.
Michigan missed another scor-
ing opportunity later in the per-
iod when Arnie Simkus recovered
Art "Cammy" Lewis' bobble on the
Army 21, when sophomore Dick
Rindfuss fumbled two plays later.
Chapman's interception set up
the final Michigan score. The
stocky junior, who lost his start-
ing position to Strobel, gathered
in a Lewis pass at the Michigan
31 yd. line and galloped 32 yds. to
the Army 37.
In Five Plays
The Wolverines scored in five
plays, the big one an 18 yd. burst
by Bill Dodd to the Army 14. From
there, Timberlake got one, and
then Dave Raimey took it in in two
plays, both six yard blasts off
Michigan's left side. Timberlake
again converted-and he's three
for three plus a field goal. And
who misses Doug Bickle?
The victory was Michigan's
fourth straight over the West
Pointers. The fumble has played a
major role in all of them, after
the Cadets had rolled up a 5-0 se-
ries advantage in the middle and
late forties.
Until today, the Cadets had
played almost errorless football,
fumbling only twice and covering
both themselves. They had not had
a pass intercepted.
Snatched Second
Besides the two key intercep-
tions, Timberlake grabbed one late
in the fourth quarter and Chap-
man snatched his second on the
last play of the game.
Nevertheless, it was the forward
pass that gave the Wolverines their
most anxious moment. Leading 17-
7 with about four minutes left in
the game, Michigan let end Bob
Bedell open on the Michigan 30.
Bedell, however, who Dietzel calls
"one of the best receivers on the
Army team," dropped Lewis' per-
fect pass and for all intents and
purposes that was the ball game.
From then to the end the Wol-
verines, who had played rough, ag-
gressive football the whole game-
picking up 137 yds. in penalties-
settled down to run out the clock.
There wasn't much Army could
do. As far as that goes, there
wasn't much they could do from
the start.

THE FIELD had suddenly broken out with a rash of assorted flags.
The game officials were literally obsessed with this flag-throwing
phenomenon.
In the first quarter, play stopped a total of four times on account
of penalties. In the second quarter, the astounding total of eight
misdemeanors were registered. In the press box, writers and broad-
casters began to thumb through the record books.
Halftime ran too smoothly. Despite Michigan's 10-0 lead,
fans could no't quite appreciate the festivities. Things were too
good to be true.
And how about that card section? From the Press Box they
looked a lot better than in the past two years. Even Bruce Fisher's
fanfare group was equalling the halftime antics of those colorful
cadets across the field. Pete Cox' cheerleaders were exuberant.
Great Expectations.. .
WHEN WOULD the bubble burst?
The .third quarter got underway and the apprehension mounted.
After an unsuccessful drive that sputtered, Joe O'Donnell lifted a
beautiful punt down to the Army 17 yd. line that, unfortunately,
became nullified by an offside penalty. His subsequent kick rolled
dead on the Army 39 yd. line.
The Army attack began to click; five first downs brought
the ball to the Michigan ten with a first and ten situation. But
just when the roof was about to cave in, Dave Glinka tipped a
Joe Blackgrove pass into the hands of Jack Strobel. "Hey, pass
that cider."
"That was the turning point," commented Bump Elliott. Bump
was right; the game turned out to be a pretty crazy affair though.
Five penalties in the third and four more in the final .quarter
brought the game total to an astounding 21. The Wolverines were
reprimanded for 137 yards and Army received 45.
Army Coach Paul Dietzel was particularly dismayed by his
passing attack. Army quarterbacks completed a total of eight passes:
equally distributed between cadets and Wolverines!
Frustrated by a team prone to fumbles, interceptions, and apathy
Coach Dietzel epitomized the contest when he said:
"This was a crazy game. In our two previous games we didn't
fumble or have a pass intercepted once. Not today. It's awful nice
to win. It's terrible to lose."
Despite the crazy combinations of fumbles and interceptions
yesterday, Michigan came out ahead and that's what counts. But
remember, next week is Michigan State. Lightning seldom strikes
twice. "Better pass that cider."

RAIDERS GO!-Army quarterback, Art Lewis, is about to be stopped for a short gain by three mem-
bers of Michigan's Raiders. Tackle Arnold Simkus (70), guard Dick Hahn (65) and tackle pick Schram
(73) are closing in on the play. Coach Bump Elliott went with his three platoon system yesterday
as Michigan overpowered nationally ranked Army, 17-7.
