The student special, complete with obsolete coach cars, joyous old-grads, and an ex-Army kit- chen car, converted into a short- order bar, breezed into Champaign at 12 noon Central Standard Time. Train Activities Illinois cheer leaders brought home the fact that the Wolverines were in foreign territory in a pre- game parade. Two of them carried a home made banner which said, "too bad Crisler's on the Fritz." Illinois' huge, 175-piece band, clad on the brightest orange and black, presented pre-game anjd half-time programs. Half-time festivities consisted of saluting Homecoming queens chosen from the University of Illi- nois to represent each of the Big Nine schools.

Late in the first quarter he took a Dike Ed- dleman punt on his own 26-yard line near the west sideline. Gene Derricotte swept over from the other safety spot, threw a block and the "Bumper" was off to the races. Bob Mann and Dick Rif - enburg helped with key blocks and Elliott hugged the sidelines outrunning everyone. Jim Bries- ke converted and Michigan led 7-0. Moments later Illinois tied it up and the Wolverines struck again. Beginning on their own 21 yard line, they rolled up two first downs then Bob Chappuis faded, flipped a 15-yard pass to Bump who gathered it in on the Illinois 44, and sprinted to the four yard line. A penalty moved it back to the nine, then little Hank Fonde, imitating a toy bull, off the re- verse ran over the Illinois line backers to score. Brieske made it 14-7. That was the ball game as far as the scoreboard was concerned, but Lenny Ford and a much mal- igned Michigan defensive line continually nullified Illinois breaks with brilliant play in the second half. With six minutes left to play in the ball game, Il- linois tackle Bob Pymuski fell on aMichigan fumble on the Wol- verine 23. Big Russ Steger, the whole Illinois attack this after- noon, blasted for four yards, then Chick Maggioli picked up one, then Steger again for 3 to the 15. With fourth down and one to go Steger hit center again and met a stone wall. That was the ball game as far as the Illini were concerned. Twice before Illinois failed to capitalize on golden scoring op- portunities. On the second play of the game, Tom Stewart intercept- ed Bob Chappuis' pass on the Wolverine 45 and brought it back to the 27. After two plays Steger fumbled and Dan Dworsky re- covered on the Michigan 21. Again in the second period af- ter a drive had brought the ball inside the Michigan 30, Bump El- liott speared a Perry Moss pass on the 8-yard line. On the next play Jack Weisenburger cut loose for 32 yards and that threat was ended. A desperation passing drive in the dying minutes of the game faded when Bump Elliott inter- cepted another Moss pass to make it official. Steger Dives for TD The lone Illinois touchdown came after a 53 yard run by Ste- ger had set it up. He broke over his own right guard, cut into the clear and hightailed it to the Michigan 15 where Pete Elliott hauled him down from behind. A Moss to Duffelmeier pass was good for nine yards. A Michigan offside took it to the one and Steger dived over. Don Maechtle converted.

Teninga came through with an against the wind boot in the clutch to stave off the late passing rush of Moss. Booting from his own 26, he drove a low punt down to the Illinois 25, where Eddleman, taking the ball on a reverse from Maggioli, was cut down by Rifenburg to keep the Illini at bay. It was the running attack of the Wolverines which kept them out of their own back yard. Time and again on short line jabs, with Chappuis doing workhorse duty, Michigan drove up over midfield. But this was not the Wolverines high scoring day. Once it was a fumble on the Illini 14, again a beautiful Chap- puis to Bob Mann pass, good on the Illini 22 yard line, that were nullified and Michigan penalized 15 yards for offensive interfer- ence. Another fumble and an Il- lini pass interception nipped other drives in the bud. Passing Even The much heralded Moss - Chappuis passing duel was pret- ty nearly a draw. But Michigan didn't take to the airways very frequently. Moss tried 18 tosses and made good on eight, but most of them were short screen passes. Chappuis had two com- pleted passes nullified. He pitched seven and three were good for 73 yards as against 70 yards for Moss. Fonde had the best running av- erage with six yards for three carries.. Steger and Weisenburger were next, with 5.7 and 5.0 aver- ages. Two long-losses dropped Chappuis' average to 3.5, but Bump Elliott and Gene Derricotte each picked up 4.4 per try. Chappuis was the day's leader in total offense with 146 yards as against Steger's 105. TOUCHDOWN EXPRESS-Bump.
