THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1945 Wolverines Beat 7uckeyes, 73, in.Finale Buckeye Notes Michigan's victory did not result in a Western Conference champion- ship, but you would never have known it from the dressing room din. The place was jammed with jubilant players, numerous alumni and other well- wishers, and sundry others, all making noise enthusiastically. Wolverine Coach Fritz Crisler broke into a broad grin almost for the first time this season after it was all over. "The boys played great ball," he said, "and I sure am proud of them. It was one of those typical dog-eat-dog Michigan-Ohio games. We had to fight an uphill battle, something that is never easy. It's especially tough against a team like Ohio State." Crisler was especially full of praise for the fine signal-calling efforts of Howard Yerges, 175-pound quarterback who stepped into the breach so ably when Capt. Joe Ponsetto was knocked out for the season with an injury. "He's a fine little ball player," Crisler said, "and he played a whale of a game today." On the Ohio State side, Crisler was especially impressed with the'ex- cellent play of the Buckeye line, singling out Tackle Russ Thomas and Guard Warren Amling, both All-American prospects, in particular. In the backfield, he lauded Fullback Ollie Cline, commenting that "even Army could find a plae for him." * * * * The Ohio State dressing room was not as boisterous, but there was no ill feeling. Said Coach Carroll Widdoes, "We played one of our best -games of the season, but Michigan played a better one." He also praised Yerges for his quarterbacking efforts. * * * * Neither team reported any serious injuries. The Buckeye trainer said his charges suffered nothing but bumps and bruises. Wolverine trainer Ray Roberts reported that Guard Joe Soboleski had a sprained shoulder, and Tackle Mike Prashaw a badly bruised ankle. The press box looked like Michigan old home week. Among others present were the following: Milan Lazetich, Wolverine all-Conference tackle last year and now a guard for the Cleveland Rams; George Burg, first string guard in 1944; Don Lund, last year's team co-captain; Harry Watts, regular center most of this season; and Team Captain Joe Ponsetto. * * * * The crowd of 85,132 was entertained by two bands. Ohio State's band performed in addition to the familiar Michigan marching group. The Wolverine band presented a colorful between-halves spectacle depicting the history of transportation. Wolverine Fullback Dan Dworsky is one of the few gridders of the nation who can boast a perfect pass completion record. He tossed his first -and last-forward pass of the season in the first quarter yesterday and connected for a nine-yard gain. Walt Teninga went in at halfback on defense for the Wolverines to compensate for the loss of regular fullback Jack Weisenburger, who normally plays the position. Dan Dworsky, Weisenburger's offensive substitute, played 60 minutes, backing up the line on defense. Both teams mixed the T and single wing formations on offense. The Bucks have not used the T very much until this year. -BILL MULLENDORE RIDING PLEASURE at GOIfside Riding Stables' Private or Group Instruction INDOOR RING, COURTESY CAR BREAKFAST RIDE, SUPPER RIDE HAYRIDE and PRIVATE PARTIES Phone 2-3441 3250 East Huron River Drive Fonde 's Fourth Quarter Score Decides Contest Defensive Play Features Bruising Battle; Nussbaumer Halts Pair of Aerial Threats (Continued from Page 1) heights in the clutch to throttle the Buckeye attack. 11 First Downs Each Statistically, there was little to choose between the two, as each piled up 11 first downs. Ohio picked up 143 yards rushing to the Wolverines' 105, but Michigan had a 63-35 pass- ing edge. Neither squad displayed much in the way of an aerial attack, although both scores were set up by passes. Michigan connected on only four of 12 attempts, while the best Ohio State could do was one completion in six tries. The game opened in a rush as Nussbaumer returned the kickoff to the Michigan 28, and Pete Elliott spotted a pass to Ed McNeill at the 50. The threat died there, only to be renewed as Nussbaumer fell on Ollie Cline's fumble at the Ohio State 15 a few plays later. Wolverines Fumble The Wolverines couldn't stand prosperity, however, and fumbled right back. That was as close as they were to get to the Ohio goal line un- til their scoring march three periods later. After going through the first peri- od without a first down, the Buck- eyes began to move as the second quarter opened. First they drove to the Michigan 39, only to have Cline fumble once more and McNeill re- cover. They got the ball again on their own seven-yard line after an ex- change of punts and really started to roll, ripping the Wolverine flanks Happy Ending! Ohio Mich.

Nussbaumer Saves Day After moving to the Michigan 29 on the ground, the Bucks took to the air, and Nussbaumer saved the day by grabbing Fisher's pass away from Bud Kessler in the end zone for an automatic touchback. An Ohio interception by Daugherty on the Michigan 29 gave Coach Car- roll Widdoes' lads ,still another op- portunity before the half ended. On the second play of the series, Daugh- erty heaved one to the Wolverine six that seemed touchdown bound, but Nussbaumer came out of nowhere to bat it down. The half ended one play later. Another interception, this one by quarterback Robin Priday on his own 42, started Ohio on its field goal drive as the third quarter began.

On fourth down, Schnitt- ker dropped back to the 20 and calm- ly booted the ball between the up- rights from a difficult angle to give his mates a 3-0 lead. That margin appeared safe until the final period was almost half gone, as Michigan repeatedly failed to put on anything that looked like a sus- TOP SCORES EAST: Harvard 60, Boston University 0 Yale 20, Princeton 14 Kings Point 58, Brooklyn 6 Pittsburgh 7, Penn State 0 Columbia 21, Dartmouth 0 Pennsylvania 59, Cornell 6 Colgate 6, Brown 6 (tie) 'SOUTH: Tennessee 14, Kentucky 0 Maryland 19, Virginia 13 Duke 14, North Carolina 7 Little Creek Navy 12, Florida 0 Clemson 21, Georgia Tech 7 Alabama 55, Pensacola Navy 6 Auburn 29, Louisiana Tech 0 Mississippi U. 7, Mississippi State 6 Notre Dame 32, Tulane 6 Third Airforce 15, ATC 6 MIDWEST: Indiana 26, Purdue 0 Wisconsin 26, Minnesota 12 Missouri 33, Kansas 12 Nebraska 13, Iowa 6 SOUTHWEST: Texas Christian 14, Rice 13 Southern Methodist 34, Baylor 0 FAR WEST: Texas Tech 6, New Mexico 6 (tie) Colorado A & M 7, Colorado Col. 7 California 6, UCLA 0 Washington State 7, Washington 0 USC 34, Oregon State 7 Crimson Tide Continues Rush To Rose Bowl By Tihe Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Nov. 24-Ala- bama.s Rosebowl-bound Crimson Tide rolled to an overwhelming 55 to 6 victory over the Pensacola Naval Air Station's Goslings today before a scant throng of 7,000 chilled fans. Coach Frank Thomas allowed his regulars to roll up a 21-0 lead in the first period, and used them sparingly thereafter, but the second and third teams continued to outclass the Gos- lings and scored twice in the second, once in the third and twice more in the fourth period. The Tide's star halfback, Little Harry Gilmer, handled the ball only five times, carrying it three times for 21-yards and passing successfully once, for 12-yards, in two attempts. The unsuccessful toss hit his receiver, who dropped the ball. Miam1 Upsets Spartans, 21.7 By The Associated Press MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 24-()-A sur- prising University of Miami football team, with one eye cocked toward a possible Orange Bowl bid, struck for three touchdowns in the first half tonight to defeat favored Michigan State, 21-7, before an overcoated crowd of 21,327. The Miami Hurricanes struck with a touchdown in the first few minutes of play and added two more seven- pointers in the second period. Michi- gan State counted in the third. High scoring Harry Chaul tallied Miami's first touchdown on a two- yard plunge. Joe Krull passed 20 yards to Dick Mell for the Hurri- canes' next one. Hudson added an- other with a three-yard buck. Wisconsin Wins, 26-12; Wildcats Top Illii, 13-7 Minnesota Suffers Fifth Straight Loss By The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24--Wiscon- sin's Badgers overwhelmed Minne- sota, 26 to 12, today, marking the first time since 1922 that a Wisconsin team could win on the Gopher home. grounds. It was the season's finale for both teams and was the fifth straight de- feat Minnesota suffered at the hands of Big Ten opponents. Thus ended Bernie Bierman's first post-war year, at the helm. There was little doubt about the outcome from almost the opening whistle. Three minutes and 17 sec- onds after the kickoff Don Kindt, Badger right half, crossed the goal line. The play was set up by plunges by Ben Hendrick, fullback and Jerry Thompson, left half. Midway in the second period, Thompson passed 38 yards to quar- terback George Fuchs for another score and Meyer converted. Minnesota's running game then started to function. But the half ended with Wisconsin leading, 13 to 6. Midway in the third period Kindt went around left end for 23 yards and another touchdown. Meyer con- verted. Murphy, Fourth String Back, Leads Victors By The Associated Press EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 24- Hap Murphy, a fourth string fullback, blasted a University of Illinois for- ward wall to bits today and sparked Northwestern's Wildcats to a 13-7 victory as the two clubs closed their 1945 Western Conference football seasons. Murphy, who came in as a substi- tute fcr Bill Hunt, played almost the entire game. He carried the ball 30 out of 63 rushes and gained a total of 154 yards. Ed Parsegian, sub for Dick Con- ners, scored the first touchdown for the Wildcats, going over from the two yard line after Murphy had sparked a 71 yard drive in the second period. Jim Farrar converted from place- ment. Murphy scored the second counter with five minutes remaining in the last period after gaining most of the ground in a 55 yard touchdown drive. The Wildcats marked up 21 first downs to 10 for Illinois, and rolled up a total of 301 yards, to 204 for the Illini. Murphy's running provided a fit- ting climax to one of the Wildcats most successful seasons. HERO-Hank Fonde, 165-pound substitute right halfback, was the man of the hour yesterdaywas he scored Michigan's only touchdown for a 7-3 victory over Ohio State. tained drive. But a short punt by Fisher to the Ohio 44 gave the Wol- verines their chance, and they took advantage of it. Elliott passed incomplete to War- ren Bentz, then hit Fonde on the 28. Fonde skittered to the 19 before be- ing tackled. Elliott picked up seven on a buck lateral, but two line plays failed to gain a first down. Needing one yard on fourth down, Fonde got five, driving to the five on a reverse. An offside penalty against Ohio put the ball on the one. Dan Dworsky was stopped cold, but Fonde slashed over on second down for what proved to be the winning score. George Chiames,hreserve fullback, converted. Bucks Open Up With only six minutes remaining, the Buckeyes turned on the heat in a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire, but could not dent the stout Wolverine defense. .Elliott's interception with 50 seconds remain- ing insured the game's being placed in the Michigan win column. The victory closed out the season for the Wolverines with seven wins against three losses and their twen- ty-seventh over Ohio in 42 games. It was the second loss of the fall cam- paign for the Buckeyes. They won seven also. x Both the State losses were to Con- ference foes, however, while Michigan lost only to first place Indiana in the Big Ten. The difference gave the Wolverines second place in the Con- ference. Q4 Here's to the Women! Permanents, manicures, shampoos, finger waves done by experts.
