Peterson grabbed the bullet pass on the one yard line and dashed unmolested over the goal line, to put the Maize and Blue in the lead, 13-0. Harry Allis' educated toe drove the ball between the uprights a moment later, and the final score read Michigan 14, Oregon 0. The sad-faced Webfoots in the background are halfbacks Johnson and McKay. (Continued from Page 1) tackle and the burly Oregon line could not do anything against the Wolverines when the chips were down. * * * THE GREATEST STAND the Wolverines made was at the start of the final period. Van Brocklin had hit twice for 10 and 32 yards and then Jim Aiken, Jr., the coach's son went for 11 to Mich- igan's four. It was four yards and goal to go for the Webfoots. Aiken made barely a yard and was crushed by Ed McNeill and Pete Elliott. Then the big full- back, Bob Sanders, met another stone wall as Elliott and Dick Kempthorn hit him. On third down Jensen ran into Clark and with less than two yards to go McKay sliced off tackle and when he met a stone wall he twisted into the clear. But that was only momentary. Wahl, the outstanding lineman of the day, pounced on him and stopped the Oregon halfback inches short of a touchdown. But that was not the last serious threat of the day. Oregon came roaring back after an exchange of Dunts, Van Brocklin got the Web- foots under way again. He passed to Sanders for 3 yards and then Hit McKay on the midfield stripe. The speedy McKay began to thread his way along the sidelines with only one man between him and pay dirt. BUT IT WAS that man that did it. Lentz came over and pushed him out of bounds on the Mich- igan 25. With less than 2 minutes to play Van Brocklin threw three beautiful passes into the end zone only to have them all missed by inches. The first missed McKay; the second slithered off Dan Garza's An Adventure in Good Smokinq i .i COLISIONSE RVICE No matter whether it's a crumpled fender, or a total wreck, our complete bumping service can fix it.

The Oregon field general put on a passing display in the Michigan home opener that ranks with the performances of any all-time col- lege great. Wally Weber, fresh- man coach and one of the keenest of football analysts, rates Van Brocklin with Chappuis, H arry Newman, Frankie Albert, and Bob Waterfield. "le has the accuracy of a Swiss watch," Weber comment- ed. The West Coast junior has terrific marksmanship. His teammates give him enough a time to eat apple pie, survey thefield, and then pitch perfect strikes to his receivers. The difference between Michi- gan and Oregon's aerial attack, according to Weber, lies in the ron Wolverines' series of pass patterns the and this target-practice pitching on- of Van Brocklin. Dry Michigan's so-called "pass pat- hes terns" are a number of simiiar ski, plays designed to pull the opposi- tion into a certain area for de- fense. When this is done. the Wol- verine quarterback calls for a play faking the defense into the same sector and allowing a Michigan man to get free in the opposite di- rection. Thus "Chow" Ortmann was able to hit Dick Rifenburg for Michigan's first TD. Rifenburg was all by himself with nothing around but fresh Ann Arbor air. * * It was a greatly improved de- fensive team that Michigan show- ed against Oregon. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan praised the line-work of strapping Al Wahl, and smiled when the Wolverine goal line stand was mentioned.

For those wondering why a Wolverine didn't fall on Leo Ko- ceski's punt that rolled into the end zone for a touchback, here's the answer from coach Wally Weber. Any ball that is touched within the ten yard line is auto- matically a touchback and comes back to the twenty. Plan to ..be sure to see our guns, camp equipment, and hunting clothes.
