Coach Gene Fekete's Buckeyes had too puch power for the Wol- verines as they ploughed over the line and ran the ends for consist- ent chunks of yardage. In the middle of the first quarter, after an exchange of kicks, the Bucks started on their own 48 yard line and in five plays had crossed the Michigan goal. Quarterback Bill Doolit- tie. took the pigskin over after halfback Jess Van Fossin had set up, the play with a 30 yard gallop to the two yard line. John Stungis' try for the point was blocked leaving the score 6-0. The Wolverines weren't long in knotting the count. With two min- utes left in the first quarter, the Wolverine forward wall broke through to block halfback George Gordon's kick from the Ohio State 30 yard line. End John Linville scooped up the ball and dashed across the goal with the tying marker. The Buck- eye forwards charged through to block Wilcox's extra-point at- tempt. A Michigan fumble on the 16 yard line set the stage for the next Ohio State score, giving the Buckeyes a 13-6 advantage. A minute later another fumble gave Ohio the ball on the midfield, stripe. George Gordon quickly dropped back and pitched a strike to end Jim Palmer on the 10 yard line. A beautifully executed end around with Stan Dixon carrying the mail gave the Bucks their third score. Stungis added the ex- tra point to make it 20-6 and the rout was on. The following kickoff was re-j turned to the 22 yard line but a clipping penalty shoved the ball back to the ten. On second down, Prentice Ryan found a gap in the right side of the Ohio State line, watched his blockers knock the secondary out of the way, then streaked 90 yards down the sideline for the Wol- verines' last tally. Wilcox con- verted to make it 20-13, but that was the last time that Michigan was within striking distance. Twenty seconds before the end of the half, the Buckeyes made it 27-13 on an interception on the Michigan 35. - It was all Ohio State in the sec- ond half as the Bucks tossed in a couple of touchdowns just to make sure. Wertz collected the first one early in the third quarter on a three yard sprint. Fullback Glen Oliver plunged over for the final tally while Stungis kicked the ex- tra point to make it 41-13. Eleven regulars and two re- serves of Michigan's varsity squad will be playing their last home game today. Each has made a valuable contribution in bring- ing an unbeaten record into the Stadium against the Buckeyes this afternoon. Bob Chappuis hit the headlines in his first appearance in a Mich- to be instrumental in defeating Il- linois that year. Despite an ailing wrist the To- ledo halfback established a new Big Nine offensive record of 1,038 yards on his return from service last year. Bob's finest rushing ex- hibition was made against Iowa under a stifling sun; his passing was the highlight of the slaughter administered to Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Howard Yerges first ran out upon the turf of the Michigan, Stadium in 1943 wearing the Ohio State uniform. Why not? Wasn't his father, Howard Yerges, Sr., voted the Buckeyes All-Time quarterback in 1916? Like other; wartime athletes the Navy moved Yerges to Michigan. He decided to stay. His short playing time at Columbus was thrown out and Yerges played 4 full seasons for Fritz Crisler. Midway through the 1945 season Howard replaced the injured Joe Ponsetto in the final period of a scoreless deadlock with Illinois and whipped the Wolver- ines to three quick touchdowns' and victory. He's been the signal caller ever since. Elongated Lenny Ford picked up a fumble and ran to a touchdown against Illinois in 1945 thus stamping himself for future de- fensive work at one of the flanks. For the past two seasons many a ball carrier has realized the diffi- culty in trying to sweep his end, and many have come out of the ordeal the worse for wear. Lenny is also experienced as a ball car- rier in his own right and against Army even threw a pass. In 1945 George Johnson trans- ferred here from Central Mich- igan College and took over a start- ing tackle a«signmenm. G orge won that position when, during a cru- cial point in the Northwestcrn game, he threw a Wildcat passer for a 12 yard loss. This year John- son has been a part of the de- fensive unit. Jack Weisenburger is finishing igan's famed "seven oak posts" in 1942. The big Detroit tackle was really a workhorse that year, his first as a regular; he didn't know what a bench looked like. Coach Crisler took pity on Bill when he returned from service in 1946 and let him watch the defen- sive stands from the sidelines. Automatic Jim Brieske's debut on the Varsity stage was not to kick the extra point but rather to boot a 14-yard field goal as in- surance against Great Lakes in 1942. The Harbor Beach, Mich., specialist placed 26 kicks between the crossbars for the rest of that campaign and returned from serv- ice in 1946 to account for 32 more conversions. Today he is gunning for a new collegiate record. J. T. White playing end, helped Ohio State win over the Wolver- ines in 1942 but decided on his return from service to join his brother Paul here at Michigan. Placed in the same boat with Capt. Hilkene, J. T. was moved to the center position and has been a front line standout for two seasons. He rates with the best on pass defense. Speedy Bob Mann watched pro- ceedings from the bench in 1944, went into service and returned last fall rather unheralded. Start- COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 21-P )- Exhibiting a brilliant display of power, Michigan's mighty Wol- verines-the 150 pound version- dynamited Ohio State 39-0 here today to assure themselves of at least a tie for the Bantam Big Nine championship. The Michigan team counted in the first, third and fourth quarters, after crossing the Ohio State goal line seven plays af- ter taking the ball on its own 43 soon after the game opened. Center George Bradley recov- ered an Ohio bobble after an ex- change of punts and left half- back Doug Wick plunged over guard for threeyards and the vis- itors' first touchdown seven plays later. Michigan shoved the gear into high again in the- third period with Gene Freed intercepting a pass and running to the Michigan 47. Wicks and Ed Rosatti alter- nated on the ground and quarter- back Charles Ketterer tossed a 15-yard pass to Bill Costa, who was I _. BOB CHAPPUIS JACK WEISENBERGER igan uniform. His forward pass beat a four-touchdown favorite Great Lakes team to open the 1942 season. Bob was destined for Wol- verine gridiron greatness from then on although his sophomore year was largely spent on the bench watching Tom Kuzma per- form. Chap did manage, however, .-.---° 0o C 1EBESYSH LNEDGOO, PYHLG 1 1LQ3,MAh t'l.HEFNERALTETB Wilson Requests Bowl Choice CHICAGO, Nov. 21-(AP)-Com- missioner K. L.
