1, 1948 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Facts and Figures V ~ V Pitt halfback Mark Maystro- vich lost more than yardage while returning a kickoff. After racing to the 32-yard line, Mr. Maystro- vich lost his pants. Jack Weisenburger threw what was probably his first in- tercollegiate pass since he was reassignedfrom halfback to fullback duty way back in 1945. For the second straight week Michiganran into a sensational punter. Pitt provided a match for Stanford's long booting Mike Dur- ket in quarterback Bill Hardisty, who's big trouble was he out- kicked his ends and enabled Der- ricotte, Elliott and Fonde to get up full heads of steam. Hardisty's best effort was a first quarter punt from his own 20- yard line to the Mlichigan fifteen on the fly. A bright sun beaming out of fair skies boosted gate sales to swell the MSC-Michigan grid clash attendance past the 70,000 marker. Just before noon the football throng started to pour into Ann Arbor, more than doubling the town's population forda few hours. Fans were startled just before the game, hearing an emergency call for plumbers issued over the public address system. However, investigation revealed that the sewers in the runway under the gridiron bowl had backed up, blocking the passageway. However the equipment was restored to working order in a matter of min- utes. Only 59,000, the smallest crowd of the season, saw the Wolverines. smother the Pitt Panthers under an avalanche of touchdowns in the second game of the season. The flag at half-staff during the game, injected a somber note. The flag was lowered here as in all parts of the nation, to com- memorate the arrival of the first war dead in this country from the far-off foreign lands where. they had died in defense of the American way of life. .....DO YOU KNOW that Michigan and Notre Dame have met ten times on the gridiron, with the Wolverines taking eight games. In the most re- cent contests, Michigan took the Irish 32-20 in 1942 and then lost the following year, 35-12. own. Their regular lullback, Jack Weisenberger took charge of the first touchdown with runs of 17 and 19 yards and their highly touted sophomore fullback, Dick Kempthorn, lived up to advance reports by standing out on defense and scoring the last TD. Even more impressive than their ground attack was the way the Wolverines ruled the airways the entire afternoon. . They completed 10 out of 14 passes for a total of 258 yards-12 more than they ground out on they kept State from completing a running plays. At the same time pass all day and intercepted four of the ten the Spartans tried. Teninga Passing Star Spearhead of Michigan's aerial attack was Wally (Handy Man) Teninga who came back from the Army to find his old job filled by the very capable Mr. Chappuis, Given his chance in the last half, Teninga completed two beautiful 30-yard passes to Irv Wisnewski and Don Kuick, reeled off 17 and 22 yard runs and set up the final touchdown on the receiving end of a 17 yard pass from Pete Elliott. Our Sincere and Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year! 1 STARTS SCORING PARADE- .ack Weisenburger, fullback, scored Michigan's first touch- down of the season in the first period against MSC. Defensively, Michigan couldn't have been much better. The Wolverine line held MSC to a meager three first downs, and didn't allow the Spartans to get into Michigan territory until the last play of the third period and never did let them get past the 37-yard line. Chronologically the TD's went something like this: (1) The first time they got their hands on the ball the Wol- verines went 55 yards in seven plays with Weisenberger's two long runs and a two yard pay-dirt plunge highlighting the drive. (2)Elliott's 56 yard run set up this one with Chappuis going over from the 6-inch line. (3) Derricotte brought a punt return back to the State 31 and passed to Bump Elliott on the 24 who went over from the three yard line four plays later. (4) With 5 minutes of the first half left, Weisenberger returned a punt to the State 26, from where Fonde hit Ford with a beau- tiful pass on the 1 yard line and Chappuis went over. (5) Third play of second half saw Chappuis pass to Ford in the clear on the State 35 and Big Lennie went all the way or a TD. (6) Four plays later Dworsky Jim Brieske missed his one and only conversion of the day and Michigan led 6-0. Then the track meet began, with Michigan rolling up two more touchdowns in the second period, three inthe third and four in the fourth. The scoring was pretty well dis- tributed, with eight men sharing the ten touchdowns and Brieske collecting nine consecutive extra points. Mann and Wally Teninga ,ent over twice with Jack Weis- enburger, Bump Elliott, Gene Der- ricotte, Len Ford, Tom Peterson, and Don Kuick each tallying one. If there was a standout in the Michigan backfield yesterday, it probably was Derricotte. The flashy Defiance Ohio tailback stepped out of the shadow of All - America candidate Bob Chappuis and put on a brilliant exhibition, personally account- ing for three touchdowns. He scored on an 80-yard punt re- turn, which featured such per- fect blocking that not a man laid a hand on him. He set up Ford's touchdown by intercept- ing a Pittsburgh pass on his own 45 and running it to the 15 where he lateraled to Ford who went over. Ted Peterson scored Michigan's eighth touchdown after Derri- cotte personally conducted the Wolverines from the Pitt 48 to the four. He passed to Hershberg- er for 12 yards, then ran for three consecutive first downs, to put the ball on the four yard line. Peterson took it over on the spin- ner play. But up in front of Crisler's seemingly endlessnsupply of backs, a Michigan line that was1 almost perfect held Pitt to 19 yards on the ground in 21 rush- ing attempts. Even in the scoreless first per- iod, Michigan's forwards were opening up the holes, but four Wolverine fumbles held up the parade. The downfield blocking conspicuous by its absence. almost all last season, was very much in evidence yesterday. Not only Der- ricotte's touchdown jaunt, but the 115 yards Michigan gained on pass interceptions offers proof of the efficiency of the blocking. Wolverine backs snared four Pitt passes altogether. Bump El- liott grabbed one in the second period and sprinted down the sidelines for 35 yards and a touchdown. Weisenburger speared two, returning one 20 yards and being dropped immediately on the other. Derricotte accounted for the other on Ford's touchdown. Jim Brieske kicked one of the longest extra points of his car- eer, yesterday, when he con- nected from the 24-yard line. After a successful conversion following a Michigan touch- down, the Wolverines were pen- alized 15 yards for holding. With Derricotte kneeling on the 24- yard line, Brieske booted a per- fect kick. He's missed two so far this season. FOX M SPORTING HAPPY GOODS NEW YEAR!
