assure the Wolverines of victory. The win was Michigan's first under Coach Bump Elliott.

Once again the Wolverines

tributed advances of 11 and 14
yards. Fifteen more were provided
by an Oregon State personal foul.
Harper went over from the two
for the clinching score, and Hal-
stead, whose field goal earlier in
the game had given Michigan a
3-0 halftime lead, booted the ex-
tra point.
At game's end, Michigan was
attempting to expand its 18-7 lead

ELLIOTT, PLAYERS JUBILANT:
'M' Discovers Safety in Numbers-Also Victory
By FRED KATZ
Associate ,Oports Editor
Michigan and Coach Bump El-
liott have proven that there is
more than safety in numbers.
'There is also victory.
Thirty-eight players did battle
for the Wolverines yesterday.
And until Michigan fans have
memorized the numbers of the
many new faces playing football
for the Maize and Blue this fall,
the program vendors are going to
do a land office business.
Substituted generally in, waves
of 11, Elliott said the platooning
gave the team "a real boost."
Because Michigan Is a team with
many average-to-good players and
few outstanding ones, it is one
team that doesn't give away
strength when the third unit is on
the field.
The Wolverines appeared to get
stronger as the game wore on and
were unstoppable in the fourth
quarter, a period when sluggish-
ness is not unusual.
Victory was a strange but wel-
come visitor to the Michigan lock-
er room and the players were al-
most reluctant to leave. It was a
moment they wanted to enjoy, for,
who knows when it shall make
another appearance.
Northwestern is next on the list,
followed by Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio State.
Not a breather in the lot.
Which means that from one
point of view the victory was a
"must" win.
"It was," agreed Elliott "from
the standpoint that the men.
worked hard and wanted to win
badly. It would have been a bitter
disappointment had they lost."
"We really needed this," he con-
tinued. "It took a long time com-
ing, but now that we have this
first one, it feels pretty darned
good."
Did Elliott give the team an old-
fashioned pep talk during the in-
termission after it blew a touch-
down opportunity on the Oregon
State four-yard line with two min-
-utes left in the half? .
"They didn't need it," he count-
ered. "They were mad enough at
themselves to go out there in the
second half to do something about
it." .i
Overlooked in the excitement of
the clinching touchdown was a
decision that might have had tre-
mendous bearing on the final out-
lone.
When Michigan scored the first
time in the fourth quarter, the
score was 9-7. But instead of set-
tling for the single extra point,
Stan Noskin pulled a fake beauti-
fully and lobbed a two-point con-
version pass into the end zone.
The reasoning was obvious. A
single PAT would have made a tie
possible for the Beavershmerely
with a field goal. 'With the score
at 11-7, they then were forced to
go all the way for the six-pointer.
Elliott said the decision was all
Noskin's. It was not called from the
bench.
For the second week in a row,
Elliott couldn't signal out any out-
standing individual, although it
was for an entirely different reason
than last week.
"It was a 100 per cent team ef-
fort; almost everyone had their
fine moments," said Elliott.
He started to go down the list
of performances he was pleased
with. But by the time he had
finished, just about everyone had
been mentioned.
, * * *
Darrell Harper's punting cer-
tainly must rank among the best
in the nation after his great ex-
hibition yesterday. He boomed out
160 yards in three tries, and is
now averaging 49.1 for the season..
Forty-six yards per punt is usually
good enough to win the national
title.
* * *
Captain George Genyk never,
made the opening kickoff. He suf-
fered a freak injury during warm-
up drills--a gash on his forehead.
It was nothing serious but kept him
out of action for the day.
Two other first-stringers were
limited to first-half play. Right
tackle Jon Schopf twisted an ankle
while right end Bob Johnson re-
ceived a leg injury. Both are ex-
pected back next week against the
Wildcats.
Sophomore Bennie McRae, ex-
pected to share the left half post
with Harper was used sparingly
because he hadn't fully recovered,
from a week-old injury.
"He wasn't as effective as usual,"
Elliott explained, "so we thought
it best, not to use him too much."
* * * .
Noskin is throwing at better
than a .500 clip for the first three
games, indicating that he's back
in the occasionally-brilliant form
he displayed as- a sophomore in
1957.
The quarterback froi Chicago
has completed 20 of 39 passes.

The statistics from yesterday's
game looked faintly reminiscent of
Michigan teams of yore. The Wol-
verines had 22 first downs to nine
by the Beavers. They also netted
332 yards overall more than doubl-
ing 0SU's 152.
Oregon State's single-wing attack
under control throughout the
game. The visitors gained only 68
yards in 34 rushes and added an-
other 84 yards passing for a total
of 152, compared with Michigan's
252 rushing and 80 passing for 332'
yards.
OSC moved across the 50-yard
line under its own power on only
four occasions, and penetrated no
farther than the Michigan 36 on'
any of them.
Key OSC Play
Indeed, one scrimmage play can
be singled out as the key to the
whole Oregan State offensive ef-
fort of the afternoon. It was a 20-
yard sprint by reserve halfback
Ron Miller to the Michigan one
with 71/2 minutes left in the third
period.
Two previousplays from the 22
had gained only one yard, and
Miller's run was instrumental in
setting up Stinnette's one-yard
touchdown plunge. Aaron Thom-
as' conversion boot boosted OSC's
short-lived lead to 7-3.
Interceptions Foils Drive
The interception that set up this
score ruined an excellent Michi-
gan : bid to increase its 3-0 lead.
In seven plays' second-string quar-
terback Don Hannah's offensive
unit moved from the OSC 43 to a
first down on the nine.
Hannah then uncorked a pass
intended for Harry Newman in
the. right fiat, but reserve Beaver'
fullback Chuck Smith broke
through to intercept on the three.
He moved unimpeded for 75 yards
until tackled" from behind.
The partisan crowd, which yes-
terday included 13,500 high school
bandsmen, was disappointed at
the Wolverines' failure to score
from close in. But they had been
disappointed earlier in the game
by similar circumstances.
Noskin Pinpoints Passes
With 4:30 to go in the half,
Michigan began a long sustained
drive on its 20 that eventually
ended on the OSC 23. Rio and
Bennie McRae carried the run-
ning attack, and Noskin, flashing
the pinpoint passing from that
distinguished his sophomore sea-
son of 1957, completed three suc-
cessive first-down aerials.
. On the Oregon State 48, Nos-
kin connected with Julian for a
14-yard gain, hit Bob Johnson for
a 15-yard advance, then found
Halstead, though surrounded by
defenders, on another '15-yard
gain to the four-yard line.
Almost as quickly, Michigan re-
treated. An offside penalty shoved
the Wolverines to the nine. Noskin
lost two more after finding no re-
ceivers open.
Wolverine Drive Stalls
Hannah came in and threw an
incomplete pass, but an ineligible
receiver downfield cost Michigan
15 more yards to the 26. Noskin
came back in, ran three yards,
threw incomplete, then connect-
ed on fourth down with Julian to
the 15. His fumble was recovered
by OSC, which then ran out the
few seconds'remaining.
Thus ended a weird first half in
which Michigan, although thor-
oughly dominating'the statistics,
had only Halstead's first-period
three-pointer to show on- the
scoreboard. That score came after
a stray OSC pass was gathered in
by Raeder on the Beaver 49.
Kicked From an Angle
He ran to the 21, but when the
Wolverines could get only 18 yards
in six subsequent plays, Halstead
kicked his field goal from the 17-
yard line at an angle.
The combined offensive efforts
of Noskin and Hannah's units .in
both halves, plus the fact that El-
liott used still another unit on
defense, helped to wear down the
Beavers, who did not substitute as
freely.
At the game's end, the Beaver
line was a weary group. Both Nos-
kin and Hannah's units kept
mostly on the ground, and con-
centrated on running most of
their plays inside the OSC tackles.
Elliott, carried off the field on
his player's shoulders at game's
end, did not single out any indi-
viduals for their contributions,
calling it "a team victory."
