sDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY_ Jnpredictable Offense Falters in Gopher LosslI [Gcol 11 4>1 I By GARY WINER "We did just about everything except get the ball across the goal line," Coach Bump . Elliott re- marked in referring to Michigan's 6-0 loss to Minnesota last Satur- day. Defense proved to be the differ- ence for the fourth year in' a row, as the Gophers refused to give ground when their end zone was threatened by a Wolverine thrust. Two times Michigan drove to the Gopher seven yard line, but was unable to crack over. % The first sustained drive occur- red in the first quarter, the very first time Michigan got its hands on the, ball. Michigan recovered a Gopher fumble at midfield, march- ed down to the seven, and watched as quarterback Bob Timberlake's field goal attempt strayed wide of the mark. This was Timberlake's second three-point attempt this year and he has missed both. His first try was during the Michigan State encounter. Costly Fumble Michigan took the second half kickoff and went right down to the seven of Minnesota, once again. On a fourth down play, Timberlake was unable to crack the Gopher forward wall. Elliott commented on that play, "That certainly was an important play from our standpoint. It appeared as though Bob started to lose the ball just as he hit the line and he sort of leaned back to grab it. By that time he had lost most of has forward momentum." Timberlake did fumble on that play, but it made no difference as four downs had been exhausted. Timberlake passed for 90 yards, completing eight of 14 tosses. "Our passing game was hurt somewhat by the strong onrushing Minne- sota line," Elliott remarked. "But what was hurt especially was our rollout option pattern. Timberlake, being a righthanded thrower, has to rollout to his right, and that meant going to the side of Minne- sota's big tackle, Carl Eller. Eller caught him a few times before, he even had a chance to do any- thing," Elliott emphasized. Wrong Receiver In the fourth period with Mich- igan trailing 6-0, the Wolverines found themselves with a fourth down and 11 situation at the Min- nesota 28. Timberlake hit end John Henderson, but the officials ruled that Henderson was downed just inches short of the necessary first down. Elliott smiled slightly as he related that play. "The pass really wasn't even intended for Henderson. It was supposed to go to our right halfback Dick Rind- fuss, but Timberlake overshot him and Henderson just happened to be circling behind him at the time. Biggest Problem "Our biggestsproblem so far this season," Elliott continued, "is that we haven't really been able to put together at the same time our passing and running games. One seems to jell and then the. other gives out." Junior Brian Patchen filled in at center again for the injured Tom Cecchini and Elliott was "very satisfied" with his perform- ance. Patchen came out of the game for a while with a slight in- jury and Jim Green took his spot. Elliott remarked that he was also pleased with Green's playing. A final note on the Minnesota game centered around halfback John Clancy who made minus four yards in only two carries the whole day. "Jack just had one of those days," Elliott stated. "The big problem about that though was that he was running in the direction of Eller." Elliott was pleased with the team's play even though they lost the game. "I think the team play- ed its heart out last Saturday. HOLD ON THERE-Michigan quarterback Bob Timberlake evades Gopher Bob Bruggers during the Wolverines 6-0 loss last Saturday. Timberlake completed eight passes in 14 attempts for 90 yards during the game, but he was unable to hit for the "bomb." The Minnesota line led by Carl Eller hindered Timberlake most of the day, especially on his rollouts.
