A loss to Ohio State this Saturday
would keep Michigan one win short of
receiving bowl eligibility, but it would
not be the first time the Buckeyes have
kept the Wolverines out of the post-
In 1973, wheo the two teams met,
Michigan - ranked number four at
the time - had held the oumber one
Buckeyes to a 10-10 tie. Ohio State
Coach Woody Hayes admitted, "we
had to win this one to go to the Rose
Bowl." Luck appeared to be with the
Buckeyes that year.
.After the game, the Big Ten Ath-
letic Directors voted 6-4 in favor of
Ohio State going to Pasadena instead
of Bo Schembechler's Wolverines,
according to a Nov. 27, 1973 article in
The Michigan Daily. The coach was
stunnedby the decision.
Schembechler blamed votes against
Michigan on "ignorance (and) petty
jealousies",' according to the article,
adding that the schools voting for
Ohio State may have been acting on
grudges.
Don Canham, the Michigan Ath-
letic Director at the time, was an
unpopular figure with Northwestern
University officials after he played a
part in preventing the Chicago Bears
from playing at Northwestern's Dyche
Stadium, according to the article. Can-
ham had also upset Michigan State
University officials that year in a dis-
pute over television rights. Both teams
voted in favor of Ohio State.
More than satisfying grudges, how-
ever, Big Ten Athletic Directors may
have voted for Ohio State because
they felt that the Buckeyes had a bet-
ter chance of winning in California,
according to the Daily. Michigan's
star quarterback at the time, Dennis
Franklin, had broken his collarbone in
the fourth quarter of the game against
Ohio State.
Cecil Coleman, Athletic Direc-
tor of the University of Illinois had
announced on the radio that he
planned to vote for Michigan, accord-

log to the Daily. Following news of
Franklin's broken collarbone, he
changed his mind. He was quoted
by the Daily as saying that, "without
Franklin, Michigan is not the best rep-
resentative of the Big Ten." Michigan
State and Northwestern concurred.
Big Ten Commissioner Wayne
Duke's disclosure of the state of the
Michigan quarterback lay at the cen-
ter of Schembechler's criticisms. The
Michigan coach claimed that by shar-
ing the condition of Franklin, Duke
had had an unfair influence on the
vote, a claim that Duke called "totally
absurd",' according to the Daily article.
The Daily article noted that no one
made a serious attempt to learn the
extent of Franklin's injury, and Michi-
gan's team physician had not been
contacted.
Ohio State went on to beat the Uni-
versity of Southern California in the
Rose Bowl, while Michigan did not
play in a bowligame that year.
