As the curtain drops on the 1933-34
Michigan sports year, a casual glance
at the records of the various teams
and their standings in the Big Ten
brings faintly to our ears the last
strains of The Victors as the sym-
bols= crash out "Champions of the
West."
Conference championships in foot-
ball, golf, swimming, and indoor track
were hung up by Michigan teams. In
addition the hockey and tennis teams
took second place and the wrestling,
baseball and outdoor track third
places in the Conference. In other
words, out of ten competitive sports,
in each of which, with the exception of
hockey, there were ten teams com-
peting for titles, Michigan captured
four championships, was runner up
in two others, and omitting the disas-
trous basketball season, finished no
poorer than third in any sport. That
is quite a record.
Football
The 1933 football season saw Mich-
igan take not only the Western Con-
ference Title but also the National
Football Championship based upon
the Dickenson rating system.
Coach Kipke and his men scored
seven victories and one tie while pil-
ing.up 132 points to their opponents'
19. The most colorful game of the
year, that with Ohio State, drew a
crowd of 93,508 spectators to Ann Ar-
bor to witness a keyed up Wolverine'
eleven completely outplay a heavier,
O.S,U. team in a spectacular struggle
14-0.
Michigan had an easy time with
Chicago the following Saturday, but,
was almost beaten by the fighting
band of Illini 'who waylaid them at
Champaign. It was only by the mar-
gin of an elevated toe that Michigan
escaped having her record spoiled
early in the season.
The Minnesota Gophers invaded
Ann Arbor for the last home game
t f the year, displaying their customary
power attack and staunch defense.
Minnesota teams generally have their
signals pretty well in hand by Novem-
ber, and Saturday, the 19th, was no
exception, Tenner and Larson, rangy
Gopher ends, not only broke through
the Wolverine line consistently to
smear the Michigan passing attack,
but opened gaping holes on offense
for fast Minnesota backs to gallop
through for a lot of yardage. Mich-
igan rooters were standing in the
stand shrieking when late in the last
quartoer, Bevan, Minnesota guard,
went back in kick formation on Mich-
iga's 30 yard line to attempt a field
goal. Bevan missed and as a result
Michigan won the Big Ten champion-
ship, for the team scored a decisive
victory a week later at Dyche Sta-
dium when they overpowered a fight-
ing band of Northwestern Wildcats to
win, 13-0, and end the season in a
blaze of glory.
Chuck Bernard and Whitey Wistert
Before 93,508 fans, Michigan's football team, champions of the Big
Ten and the leading eleven of the nation, defeated the highly touted
Ohio State gridiron squad by a 13-0 score Oct. 21. The Buckeyes were
favored to win the Conference title and it was this victory which put
Wolverines ahead in the race. After going back over the events of the
past year, this game stands out at the head of the season's thrillers.
