14 and the Gophers led, 3-0. It
was Versick's second three pointer
in two games since joining the
team.
Minnesota was helped out by a
third down interference call on the
Michigan 10 and a fumble by Min-
nesota quarterback Duane Blaska
which rolled out of bounds on the
eight.
Struck Again
Late in the quarter the Goph-
ers struc kagain, this time driving
43 yds. to score after Julian Hook
picked off Evashevski's pass on
the Minnesota 47 and returned to
the Michigan 43.
A Blaska pass to end John
Campbell covered the last four
yds. It was only the fourth pass
Blaska completed in the entire
half, but had his receivers been
up to par he might have had four
or five more.
He finally got what he had
been looking for late in the third
quarter when halfback Jim Cairns

gathered in his flat pass just in-
side the midfield stripe and romp-
ed past Michigan's last tw de-
fenders Harvey Chapman and Tom
Prichard to score. The play cov-
ered 58 yds.
Meanwhile . .
Meanwhile back at the farm,
Michigan was unable to get its
offense off the ground. At one
point in the third quarter the
Wolverines had minus yardage for
the game as the Gophers poured
through on Evashevski and Tim-
berlake trying to throw.
Even a switch back to the old
offense didn't help, though early
in the fourth quarter Bob Chand-
ler finally gave the homecoming
crowd of 65,484 something to cheer
about.
Taking over at quarterback after
a Minnesota punt rolled into the
end-zone, the oft-forgotten junior
guided the Wolverines on their
best offensive effoxt of the day.
The big play was a 37 yd. strike to
Chapman to the Minnesota 16 yd.
line, but then Coach Murray War-
math sent the regulars back to
halt the drive.
It ended on the Gopher 37 when
Campbell spilled Chandler for a 15
yd loss, but not before Chandler
and Chapman had given Minneso-
ta a couple of anxious moments.
Had the playing field been a yard
wider Michigan would have lit the
scoreboard for the first time since
the Army game.

TOUCHDOWN RUN-Minnesota halfback Jim Cairns is heading

By JAN WINKELMAN
Associate Sports Editor
"The best laid plans of mice
and men . .."
"We elected to kick off in order
to utilize the strong wind to im-
plement our passing attack," com-
mented Michigan football Coach
Bump Elliott after yesterday aft-
ernoon's 17-0 shutout at the hands
,of Minnesota's Golden Gophers.
Counted on Wind
Elliott felt that having the 15-
25 mile per hour wind behind his
quarterbacks could mean the dif-
ference in the game's outcome.
Strategically, this might have
proven an excellent move. The
Wolverines started their offensive
manuevers with three quarterbacks
alternating in the backfield:
"Frosty" Evashevski, Bob Timber-
lake, and Tom Prichard.
This new professional-style of-
fense with three halfbacks in ad-
dition to the quarterback in the
backfield was the result of El-
liott's closed door practice sessions
last week. The new system was
adapted to better utilize Michi-
gan's passing strength.
Revamped Offense
Essentially, Elliott had revamp-
ed his offense from a running one
to a passing unit. The new look,
in principle, should have been ef-
fective with three passers in the
line-up. The poor protection dem-
onstrated throughout the game,
however, never allowed Wolverine
fans the opportunity of seeing
what the new set-up would do.
Timberlake and Prichard might
have kept the Minnesota defense
guessing for pitchout passing
threats: The deceptive possibili-
ties in the Michigan backfield
might have been unlimited had
the game developed along differ-
ent lines. However, Elliott's plans
failed to materialize.
Variety of Reasons
There were a variety of reasons
why the Wolverine passing attack
failed to click. Most prominent
among them was a pair of Minne-
sota tackles by the names of Bob-
by Lee Bell and Carl Eller. An-
other factor that Elliott had not
counted on was the ankle injury
to Captain Bob Brown that came
with seven minutes left to play in
the first quarter.
The Michigan line was just un-
able to afford any measure of pro-
tection to their quarterbacks. With
Bell and Eller spearheading the
hard-charging Gopher defensive
line, the passing attacknever had
a chance to get off the ground.

For a while, though, it appear-
ed as if perhaps Michigan's strate-
gy would succeed. Wolverine tackle
Joe O'Donnell was doing a tre-
mendous job along with Tom Keat-
ing in containing a somewhat
lethargic Bell.
"I'd say we fought all the way
without giving up," said Elliott.
The false note of Wolverine op-
timism derived not from any emo-
tional failure on the part of the
Maize and Blue. As Elliott put it,
"After a while, Minnesota got fired
up. They didn't appear keyed up
when they came onto the field, but
as the game wore on, they caught
fire."
Penalties Hurt
As in Michigan's previous games,
penalties and miscues led to an
early deficit which the Wolverines
could not overcome. Michigan has
not scored in three games.
On Michigan's third play from
scrimmage, they were penalized
for offside. The drive never got
rolling.
Starting from their own eight
yard line on the second series of
downs, the passing attack finally
began to look like something.
With Brown out and Jim Con-
ley in at end, Timberlake unveil-
ed a jump pass to Conley good for
11 yds. On the next play, Evashev-
ski threw to Timberlake who bull-
ed his way for an extra five yards.
Look Promising
Just when things had started to
look promising for the Wolverines,
though, a 15-yd. penalty for ille-
gal use of the hands, and the hard
charging of the metamorphosed
Gopher line resulted in a change
of complexion that left the Wol-
verines with a third down and 42
yds. to go situation at the end of
the quarter.
The early game strategy of
electing to go with the wind mis-
fired again for the Wolverines.
O'Donne'll's punt from his own
eight yd. line failed to get into the
wind. When the teams changed
sides for the quarter, Minnesota
was in a position to profit from
the earlier Wolverine position of
running with the wind.
Wind Didn't Help
The wind did not aid the Goph-
ers, but a fourth and nine pass
from center which sailed over
O'Donnell's head on a Michigan
punt situation materialized, in the
form of a Minnesota first and ten
on the Michigan 18 yd. line.
The Woverine line held Minne-
sota to a field goal, but in the next
set of downs the bruising Gophers
line took charge 'or keeps.
Harvey Chapma , who inciden-
tally played a spectacular game,
intercepted a Gopher aerial to
stop the next Minnesota drive, but
when Julian Hook returned the
favor making it Gopher first and
ten on the Michigan 43, Minneso-
ta would not say "no," and even-
tually scored. A Duane Blaska first
and four pass to John Campbell
culminated the drive, making the
score 10-0 at the half.
Line Being Pushed
The way the Michigan line was
being pushed around, those ten
points loomed pretty large. Michi-
gan's pro-style offensive attack
did not have a fair chance to prove
itself.
The second half was a repeti-
tion of the first Although Bob
Chandler was in at quarterback,
the offense remained the same,
with the same difficulty: there
was no passing protection.
Michigan's plans were well
founded, but even the best laid
plans . .
