EMPTY-HANDED IN FOUR TRIPS:
Bo seeks to slay
bowl nemesis
By PAUL CAMPBELL
No sooner did Sir Bo slay the peren-
nial big-mouthed Hayes monster, than
he turned to find himself staring
straight into the face of another arch-
enemy-the bafflingBowl Behemoth.
Bo has met the Behemoth four times
before. Four times he was sent limping
away by the many headed monster,
which seems to be a master of disguise.
Until lately, it was rumored. that the
nomadic Behemoth had finally settled
down for good in the southern part of a
form it assumes. Not until it is beaten
once can the gallant Glenn claim vic-
tory.
Part of Sir Bo's problems come from
tradition. His fiefdom of Michigan is
quite proud of their football teams.
There are still those around who
remember that before Bo ascended the
throne, those football teams had played
in five Rose Bowls without losing.
Actually they only had one close call.
In the 1951 game, the Wolverines were
trailing at halftime 6-0 to California.
They were getting beat badly. The
Golden Bears had rolled up 192 yards
and held Michigan to 65. California had
a 10-2 advantage in first downs.
But Bennie Oosterbaan came up with
a defensive alignment at halftime
which shut down the Cal running at-
tack. Then Don Dufek, the scion of a
great Wolverine football family, went
to work. He scored on a fourth down
plunge from his fullback slot to give
Michigan= a 7-6 lead. Then he scored
again in the fourth quarter to clinch the
game for the Wolverines. Michigan had
15 first downs in the second half to
California's two, and a 226-52 advan-
tage in offensive yards. Quite a tur-
naround.
The other three Michigan Rose Bowl
wins were comfortable. One was a 49-
0 conquest of Stanford in the very first
Rose Bowl in 1902. The game ended in
the third quarter when Stanford
surrendered to the relentless Wolverine
attack led by a 170 yard performance
by All-American back Willie Heston.
The score was the same in 1948.
Michigan was the unanimous national
champion and they proved it against
Southern Cal, 49-0.
In Michigan's last bowl before Bo, it
was another field day. Oregon St. was
the victim in the 1965 Pasadena classic.

QUARTERBACK Rich Leach, shown making a cut against Wisconsin, established
several new records in Michigan football. Leach is Michigan's all-time passing
yardage leader, the total offense leader, and he has scored the most touth-
downs and tossed the most touchdown passes.

state called California. It would emerge
annually in the guise of fierce and
powerful Trojans and shatter the hopes
of yet another highly rated Big Ten
team.
It happened last year to noble Bo and
his legions Varlet Vince Evans led the
Trojans to a 14-6 win. It wasn't that
close.
In 1970, the Behemoth also came to
Pasadena in Trojan form. But the real
damage was done the day before the
game, when Bo was stricken by a heart
attackwhich left his team without a
leader. They lost 10-3 as their offense
was shut down to a second half field
goal
That's a strange thing about the
Behemoth. Often times it comes from
the west, where the passing game
reigns and defense is only a rumor.
Then Sir Bo takes a mighty running
game out to face the monster and, sur-
prise, he runs into super defense.
Such was the case in 1972. Bo's team
was 11-0 going into the Rose Bowl
against a twice beaten Stanford team.
The Cardinals were far from
chivalrous, however, holding the
Wolverine rushers to 264 yards and
beating Bo 13-12 on a last minute Rod
Garcia three-pointer.
Two years ago may have been the
strangest encounter with the monster.
Sir Bo, who knew he had one of his
younger and more suspect teams, lost
to Ohio State but ended up in
Miami-facing the best team in the
country, the Oklahoma Sooners.
The monster was very strong that
year. Michigan lost 14-6 again. The
Wolverines did manage to score-after
recovering a fumble on the Oklahoma
two-yard line. At that, it took them
three plays. This one really wasn't
close.
So, when people tell Sir Bo that the
monster seems weak this year as it
slowly rumbles in the Pacific North-
west, forgive him if he isn't cocky. The
Behemoth is to be feared in whatever
