Michigan Oi Wolverines Swamp State In Curtain Raiser, 5540 By BOB LENT Fritz unveiled what well may be his greatest gridiron team be- fore 70,115' fans as his Michigan Wolverines rolled at will over a badly outclassed Michigan State eleven, 55-0. Although Crisler probably has had better first teams, it is doubt- ful if he has ever had the talent-heavy depth he put on display yes- terday. Michigan did everything that was expectedof them-which was plenty. Their potential All-American, Bob Chappuis, showed he still knows what to do with a football by scoring three touchdowns and passing to another, His running mate, Bump Elliott turned in the best run of the day (a 56 yard sprint) and added a touchdown of his own. DaiHy-Lmanian a swan dive by Spartan Lynn itscores MSCV Pitt, 124-0 Panthers Crushed by Michigan, 69-0 Daily-Lmanian HUNGRY PANTHERS-These two hard-running Panthers could not quite keep up with Dick Rifenburg as he easily grabbed Chappuis' pass to score. 129,000 See State, Pitt Routs As Offense Picks Up 23 First Downs Their regular fullback, Jack Weisenberger took charge of the first touchdown with runs of 17 and 19 yards and their rhighly 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. II 11 Our Sincere and Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year! STARTS SCORING PARADE- Jack Weisenburger, fullback, scored Michigan's first touch- down of the season in the first period against MSC. F efensively, 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 for a TD. 6) Four plays later Dworsky scooped up a loose fumble and rumbled 35 yards to score. (7) 29 yard Chappuis to Herschberger pass set up this one on seven yard line and The Chap scooted over from the four. .(8) Teninga to Wisnewski pass, pass-17 yards. Kempthorn over in three straight plays from the 18 yard line. Brieske kick good. FI- NAL, 55-0. Wolverine Linemnen Hold Pittsburgh Backs To 19 Yards Rushing Total in Third Win ANN ARBOR, OCT. 12-For one quarter a hard-charging Pitts- burgh line held a tidal wave at bay, but the dam broke early in the second period and Michigan was off on a touchdown spree that en- gulfed the Panthers 69-0, as the Wolverines ran and passed their way to a third straight triumph at the University of Michigan Stadium. Held in check on their attempt to better Notre Dame's 40-6 win over Pitt, last Saturday, for 17 minutes, the Wolverines exploded the first time they got their hands on the ball in the second period. Bob Chappuis faded from his own thirty yard line, pitched to end Bob Mann who took it on the Pitt 25 and went on to score with the aid of a fine block by Dick Rifenburg. U Jim Brieske missed his one and Peterson took it over on the spin- only conversion of the day and ner play. Michigan led 6-0.

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 reassigned from halfback to fullback duty way back in 1945. For thersecond straight week Michigan ran 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 Michigan 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 for a few hours. Fans vere 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. I '1 V NAPPY GOODS NEW YEAR!
