TOKYO -(P})- Rallying R e d
forces fought back in northwest
Korea today and rushed reinforce-
ments up for what, may be the
showdown battle with 110,000
surging United Nations troops.
The Communist counter-attack
was against a push by the U.S.
25th Division on the Unsan sec-
tor of the general northwestern
Allied offensive that jumped off
Friday, aiming to end the war
quickly.
ENEMY RESISTANCE stiffened
everywhere in the Northwest ex-
cept at the left end of the line
where the U.S. 24th Division had
driven two miles north of Chongju
without a fight by yesterday noon.
The crucial Northwest Front
overshadowed the snowy North-
east Sector where South Koreans
rolled unopposed into the big
coastal city of Chongjin. It was
the last known big barrier be-
tween the South Koreansand
the Soviet Siberian border, 55
air miles ahead.
S u b-z e r o temperatures and
mountains were proving the big-
gest obstacles in the Northeast
where one American unit already
has reached the Manchurian fron-
tier.

prisoners of war said yesterday
they believed their Chinese Com-

The prisoners first were given

assailed American political and
military leaders.
Of the first 27 wounded Ameri-
cans to be freed, 19 said the Chi-
nese told them: "If you are forced
to fight again, tell your friends
to fire into the air. Then give up.".
Nation Hit by Worst
Weather in Decades
Damage, Death Toll High as Winds,
Snow Sweep Violently over Country
By The Associated Press
Paralyzing snows, hurricane-force winds and bitter cold dealt
large areas of the nation their worst weather-whipping in years yes-
terday.
The storms caused at least 51 deaths, paralyzed entire industrial
centers, crippled transportation and caused heavy damage.
S* * *
STORM-BOUND MICHIGAN braced itself last night for con-
tinued rough and snowy weather.
Already the state counted 12 death directly or indirectly due to
winter's worst storm, which pushed thermometers to record lows in
many spots.
In Ann Arbor, winds averaging 35-miles-per-hour with gusts
up to 50 drifted snow and kept most students off the streets. The
Willow Run weather bureau predicted diminishing winds, colder
air and an accumulation of four to six inches of snow by this
afternoon.

Victory in Snow

COLUMBUS-Michigan's relentless Wolverines saved
the space for another chapter in the rags-to-riches tale that
records the activities of the 1950 Maize and Blue gridiron
squad, by beating Ohio State's Buckeyes in a blizzard here
yesterday.
By plowing through the foot of snow which blanketed
the playing field to upset the Buckeyes, 9-3, the Wolverines
earned the right to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl
'next January first. An assist on the play was credited to the
wonderous Wildcats of Northwestern who forced an over.

Tired Team
Arrives; Rally
Set Tomorrow
A tired but jubilant group of
Wolverine gridders returned to
Ann Arbor at 12:30 a.m. today in
a drizzling rain after clinching a
Rose Bowl nomination with their
hard-fought victory over Ohio
State.
University buses which had met
the team's special train in Toledo
carried jthe players right to their
doors. The buses were delayed by
more than an hour by road con-
ditions and only 12 students were
on hand to cheer those members
of the squad who were dropped at
the Union.
The Student Legislature and the
Wolverine Club have already taken
steps to insure a more rousing wel-
come, however. -A pep rally fea-
turing coaches and tea members
will be held at noon tomorrow on
the steps of the Union.
The rally will be touched off by
a parade of University bandsmen
across the Diag to the Union.
Members of both organizations
requested interested students to
contact Larry Bloch of the Wolver-
ine Club if they wish' to help in
organizing the rally.
Other participants in yesterday's
icy spectacle were not so fortunate,
however. A fleet of busses carry-
ing the University Marching Band
was stranded by snow in Marion,

forced to stay the night.

Cold Columbus Freezes
Wolverine Enthusiasm
i I
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
Daily City Editor
COLUMBUS - With visions of
California sunshine dancing
through their heads, Michigan
fans were forced to agree last
night that it had been a cold, cold
day in Columbus.
The cold and an -ever thicken-
ing blanket of snow here prevent-
ed Wolverine partisans from en-
joying an all-out celebration of
the winning of aBig Ten Cham-
pionship and a trip to the Rose
Bowl.
HOTEL LOBBIES which are of-
ten medhouses after Ohio State
football games were relatively
quiet. Their dining rooms were
Confessed Killer
Bolts 'U'_Hospital
The confessed killer of Detroit's
little Joey Housey, John Rodney
McRae, escaped last night from
the Psychiatric Division of Uni-
versity Hospital where he was re-
ceiving a pre-trial psychiatric ex-
amination.
The fifteen-year-old McRae,
who confessed but later denied that
he fatally slashed eight-year-old
Joey with a razor last September,
escaped in a stolen car which was
later found abandoned in Jack-
son police said.
full, but most fans were too chill-
ed to voice loud sentiments over
the game.'
In downtown Columbus, a few
Wolverine rooters could be heard
singing "The Victors" or "Cali-
fornia Here We Come." They
were almost drowned out by
Ohio diehards who sang about
not giving something or other
for the whole State of Michigan.
Before game time, Ohio Stadium
grounds keepers worked for more
than an hour to remove tons of
snow from the huge tarpaulins
which had protected the gridiron.
Shortly after the tarps were re-
moved, the field was covered com-
pletely by a thick layer of snow.
UNTIL 2 P.M. rumors were fly-
ing that the game would be called
off. But then the Buckeye squad
entered the field and began its
pregame exercises. Michigan's
gridders followed them, and the
game finally got under way at
2:20 p.m.
At this time, the temperature
was 10 degrees above, and a 28
mile an hour wind was raking
the stadium. A scant handful
of fans sought shelter under the
stadium's upper deck, leaving
most of the giant horseshoe bare
of spectators.
During the afternoon, some 50,-
000 people found their way to the
game, but most of them didn't
stay long. Officials estimated that
no more than 20,000 were around
when the final quarter ended.
BOTH THE Michigan Marching
Band and the OSU Band attempt-
ed to present their usual half-time
shows. But cold weather sent the
usually straight band ranks askew,,
and frozen horns cut down the
volume of the music.
pionship does not itself insure the
Wolverines a trip to the Rose

ern Conference's Pasadena repre-
sentative was regarded as a mere
formality.)

MICHIGAN'S big break came in
the waning moments of the first
half with' the snow-covered score-
board reading: time to play: 47
seconds; and the Bucks' one-man
team, Vic Janowicz, back on his
own two-yard line for a third
down punt. At that point, Wol-
verine line-backer Tony Momsen
crashed through the middle of the
OSU line, blocked Janowicz' ef-
fort and fell on the ball in the
end zone to score the game's only
touchdown.
With 20 seconds remaining in
the first half, Harry Allis con-
verted successfully, making it 9
to 3, and ending the scoring for
the afternoon.
Earlier, Michigan had scored
two points on a similar blocked
punt which resulted in a safety.

IN TALLYING the safety it was
Michigan's captain Al Wahl, why
crashed into Janowicz' well-exer-
cized kicking leg. The ball bounc-
ed erratically to the right of the
onrushing Maize and Blue line-
men and was floundering less than
a foot outside the end zone border
whenispeedy Al Jackson caught
up with it. Six inches closer and
the Wolverines could have added
six more points.
The Bucks opened and closed
their part of the scoring when
Janowicz sent a 40-yard field
goal through the uprights with
4:08 clocked out of the first
period to give his team a short-
lived 3-0 lead.

No Classless
Monday Here,
AdamsSays
By NANCYtBYLAN
Daily Associate Editor
Although jubilant students spoke
hopefully of a Monday vacation
yesterday, Provost James P. Adams
announced that the Wolverines'
Rose-Bowl-deciding victory in Co-
lumbus would not affect the regu-
lar schedule of classes.
In announcing that the Univer-
sity would set aside no official
holiday, Provost Adams declared:
"It has long been an attribute of
Michigan teams to take victories
in their stride. They expect the
rest of us to do likewise. To carry
on as usual does not detract from
our pride in their achievement."
* * *
ECHOING his sentiments was
Dean Hayward Keniston of the li-
terary college, who asserted: "We'-
re used to championships; they're
nothing new to Michigan and we
don't need a holiday."
However, it seemed probable
last night that, in view of the
24 inches of snow in Columbus,
many students would be forced
to take a "holiday" whether they
liked it or not.
Despite the official announce-
ment, which stilled talk of cir-
culating "classless Monday" peti-
tions in the dormitories, students
still found much to "whoop" about
in the unexpected triumph of their
team.
