rolld over outmanned Stanford, 49-13, 4t the University of Michigan
Stadium yesterday, in a sparkling display of precision attack that
swept the Westerners out of contention before the game was five
minutes old.
The first meeting of the two schools since 1902 was two plays old
when Bob Chappuis faded from his; own 39-yard line and threw a
beautiful pass to Bob Mann, who had outrun the Stanfcid safety.
Mann took it on the four, shook off a desperation tackle and went
over. Jim Brieske booted the first of his seven straight conversions.
Less than two minutes later, Len Ford, Wolverine end, recovered
a Stanford fumble. Two plays and a 15-yard unnecessary rough-
ing penalty moved the ball to - __----------

OUTTA MY WAY-All-American Bob Chappuis (49), shifty Wolverine tailback, heads for Stanford
territory through a flock of Indians as quarterback Howie Yergcs (241) and Jack Weisenburger
help clear the way.
Then and Now
The 1947 Stanford-Michigan game was the first between the
two schools since the inaugural Rose Bowl shindig way back in
1902. It took Fielding Yost's point-a-mimite team eight days to
make the trip west, but this year the Indians came east in one.

Michigan Fans

Keep 65,000 in Sweat
A sun-burned throng of more
than 65,000 yesterday poured out
of Michigan Stadium after viewing
a heavily favored Wolverine team
steamroller the Stanford Indians,
49-13.
Predicted rain failed to mater-
ialize although fans had a few
anxious moments in the first
quarter when dark storm-clouds
obscured the sun. However, for
the remainder of the game old
sol's sizzling rays beat merciless-
ly down on grid fans.
Turn-About
Wolverine fans did a turn-about
early in the game, cheering every
scoring attempt of the underdog
Stanford eleven. And thundering
Michigan cheers greeted both
Stanford touchdowns.
For the first time in recent his-
tory Michigan Stadium saw a de-
monstration of flash card stunts.
No Bad Accidents
No serious accidents were re-
ported although an unidentified
press photographer was bowled
over on the sidelines by a Stan-
ford lineman. The photographer
climbed to his feet unhurt, but
his camera and equipment were
slightly damaged.
The famed marching band's
playing of the featured Michigan
song, "Bum Army," did not go
over so well yesterday afternoon
during halftime. In fact it was
greeted by a wave of silence from
University students, evidently un-
familiar with the words.
