Instead of the usual one week trip, they tour- ed the country and came in five weeks late. Just as Schembechlr is unhap- py with this years polls, Yost must have been irked with his team's rating. Casper Whitney, no doubt an Easterner, formulated a slate which placed Harvard at the top followed by Yale and Michigan. At that time Whitney dfended his choices: "Michigan has a strong, heavy line and a good backfield; but in handling kicks, and in highly developed team-'play, they are quite a bit in- ferior to the eastern teams." 4totgltmlqt5ct - The Wolverines went through 10 more undefeated seasons be- fore they were invited back to Pasadena for the 1948 game. Michigan came into the contest with a 9-0 record including ano- ther 21-0 walloping of O h i o State. Coach Fritz Crisler's'crew scor- ed 345 points through the first nine games and possessed one of the most devastating offenses in the, country. Michigan was to oppose South- ern California, the team that grabbed the Pacific Coast title with a 6-0 mark and lost only to Notre Dame, 38-7. The game looked to be a tough defensive affair; but by the time Bump Elliot, Bob Chappius and Jack Weisenberger finished o f f the Trojan defense the score was 49-0. Michigan returned to Pasadena 'three years later with their worst representative. The Wolverines had a 4-3-1 re- cord going into the final game with Ohio State and had little or no chance of going to California. The 1950 game has been remem- bered as the "Snow Bowl" because, Ohio was treated to its w o r s t blizzard in history. Over a foot of the white stuff covered t h e field as the game began and it was still falling. Ther was little or no offense displayed during the game as the teams punted a total of 45 times. But it was Ohio State's punting errors that decided- the outcom. In the first quarter, a blocked Buckeye punt rolld out of the end zone for a safety, giving Mich- igan a 2-0 lead. And with 47 se- conds remaining in the second quarter, Michigan linebacker Tony Momsen blocked another O h i o punt and recoverd it in the end zone for the game's only touch- down. Even though the Wolver- ines failed to get a single first down, they conqured the Buck- eyes, 9-3. Michigan continued their inept play in the first half of the 1951 Rose Bowl against California. They got only two first downs, ran only 11 offensive plays, and were in possesion of the ball only five minutes as the Golden Bears left th field at halftime leading 6-0. history Oregon State scored first on a Paul Brothers' touchdown pass but Mel Anthony brought the Wolver- ines back just six minutes later. He took a pitchout from Bob Tim- berlake and scampered 84 yards for- the tying touchdown. Min- utes later Carl Ward put Michigan ahead for good on a 43 yard run. In the second half M i c h i g a n marched for two quick scores to put the game out of reach. An- thony finished the game w I t h three touchdowns, Ward one, and Timberlake the other as the rout ended 34-7. The 1970 Rose Bowl between Michigan and USC was perhaps the saddest of the long series. As the Wolverines took the field, Coach Bo Schembechler lay in a Pasadena hospital after suffering a mild heart attack the morning of the game. The team was badly shaken and their plays showed it. Both teams traded field goals in the first half but the big break in the game came late in the third quarter when a Jimmy Jones Gala 1 (Continued from Page 21) by the fans for hotels overlook- ing the Rose Parade. One of these is the Pasadena Motor Hoel which is, on the actual parade route, Colorado Boulevard. Several Michigan people watched the spectacle in 1970 from the privacy of their own sun deck in lounge chairs. The parade itself takes place only after months of planning by the Tournament of Roses Committee. It starts forming ideas for the following affair as soon as the present one has con- cluded. This year 1400 volun- teers are working along with 600 men on twenty-eight dif- ferent committees. - The theme of the 1972 pa- rade is 'The Joy of Music' and fittingly the grand marshal will be the ole "champagne music maker" Lawrence Welk. Includ- ed in the participants are the Michigan and Stanford march- ing bands with twenty-two oth- ers. The parade will also fea- ture sixty floats completely cov- ered with flowers, and 200 equ- estrians doing their thing along the five-and-a-half mile route. lose Parade Libels set.for Ink Bowl Those rough and tough and hard to pamper Daily Libels are also traveling to Pasadena to play in the second annual Ink Bowl. The Libels, ranked 6th by the AP, will put their unblemished record on the line igainst the Inca-Dinka-Doo Indians from Stanford. The libels are led by All-Cen- tral-Americans Bull, Chip, Egg- sucker, TOR, Oily, Gorilla, and Brownbeard Noveck who made the second team. The game will be on Dec. 31 with kickoff at 11:59 p.m. provided that t h e Libels can stand up. The parade is expected to be nearly two hours in duration. By the time the first marcher takes to the street over 750,000 people will have already lined the route. According to Tourna- ment of Roses officials, 110 mil- lion people the world over will view the happenings. It is be- ing beamed by satillite to Japan, parts of Africa, and possibly Europe as well as being seen in Mexico and Canada. Many of the eyes will be foscused on Queen Margo Lynn Johnson and her six princesses. The Rose Bowl and the peo- ple of southern California are "looking forward to a healthy Bo Schembechler this time around." -Bo wasn't the only Michigan footballer ailing the day of the 1970 Rose Bowl. Bar- ry Pierson suffered a broken arm in the final practice prior to the departure of the team west, Glenn Doughty was also unable to play, and Garvie Craw was not in top shape for the game. The cause of these injuries were the strenuous practice ses- sions prescribed by Schembech- ler. This years it will be differ- ent. There will be four light no- pad workouts before flying to California and one-a-day prac- tices on December 20. While in Los Angeles the players are to be involved in numerous official functions such as. the Rose Bowl banquet fea- turing both the Wolverines and the Stanford Indians. Before the 1970 game the squad mem- bers each received a Rose Bowl watch and a pair of binoculars as Christmas presents. With over 103,000 people pay- ing $10.50 apiece to be in the stands one would expect the University to financially prosper from the gate receipts. That is one of the great public miscon- ceptions of the Rose Bowl game. Actually the money allocated the University scarcely covers the expenses of sending the team to California. This year approximately $80,000 will be spent on the team alone. Another $55,000 is needed to send the 215-man band west, and $35,000 is used to send the 'official party' consisting of the regents, executive officers, and members of the athletic board of control. The misconception of profit may have arisen from Notre Dame's trip to the Cotton Bowl last year. The Fighting Irish have no conference affilia- tions so they split their share of the gate receipts with no one. They made well over $200,000 last year. draws 1I supplement editors Sandi Genis Elliot Legow MICHIGAN IN THE ROSE BOWL ................Page 2 ROSE BOWL ADVANCE ........................Page 3 STANFORD SEASON REHASH...................
