SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE U .Michigan Seeks Second Big Ten Win SOGGY SETBACK: Wildcat Clash Recalls 1925 Upset * * * 0- Offensive Battle Expected; Wolverines at Full Strength Continued from Page 1)}EWE~ igii% By IVAN KAYE Whenever a Michigan team in- vades Chicago to battle Northwest- ern it brings back to the old-timers the memory of the classic struggle of 1925. The weather conditions of that game were perhaps the worst in the history of Big Ten football, with the possible exception of the Ohio State-Michigan "Battle of the Blizzard" in 1950. EARLY in the morning of the Sunday preceeding the game a light drizzle began to fall in the Chicago area. The rain continued without let- up for six straight days, turning the turf of Soldier Field into a gi- gantic puddle. The game site had been changed from Evanston to Sol- dier Field to accommodate the tremendous number of people who were desirous of witnessing the momentous struggle. Both squads were unbeaten. Michigan had shocked the foot- ball world one week earlier by de- stroying a good Navy team by the incredible score of 54-0. THIS WAS the Michigan team ENDS TONIGHT ' "DREAMBOAT" - PLUS - "PAT AND MIKE" ,I--- of Benny Friedman and Bennie Oosterbaan. This was the Michi- gan team of the immortal Field- ing Yost, then in his 24th year on the Ann Arbor campus. This was the ball club which at season's end was to boast the enviable record of never having its goal line crossed. Northwestern was blessed with one of the biggest lines in the history of Wildcat football. The Purple had a great quarterback and captain in Tim Lowry and an accurate place-kicker in Tiny Lewis. Over 90,000 tickets had been, sold but only 40,000 braved the wind-driven rainstorm to see the game. This in itself was a tribute to the drawing power of the two teams. FOR THE FIRST twelve min- utes of the game, both1 squads sloshed back and forth, unable to make a first down. With Michi- gan in possession on its own eigh- teen, Friedman fumbled and Bar- ney Mathews recovered for North-, western. Realizing the futility of trying to run unders such conditions, captain Lowry decided to call upon Tiny Lewis to kick a field- goal. He was successful and the Purple took a 3-0 lead. A three- point cushion on that field pre- sented practically an insur- mountable obstacle to the trail- ing team, and the Wildcats deft-j ly protected their margin. The elements and the North- western defense conspired to check the Michigan advance until the early moments of the final period when the Wolverines began a march from their own 34 yard line. They drove to the Wildcat four, at which point the attack bogged down in the impassable, mud. * * * NORTHWESTERN took over and desperately tried to gain ground, but fourth down found theI ball only on the eight. Captain Lowry realizing that a bad punt would give the game to Michigan, took the pass from center, retreat- ed over his own goal line, downed the ball and gave the Wolverines two points. Under the rules, the Wildcats were then entitled to a free kick from their own twenty yard line. The ball was booted past midfield and the Wolverines were checked until the final gun, thus proving the wisdom of Lowry's move. The final score was Northwest- ern 3, Michigan 2 and the contest has long been referred to as "The Baseball Game" by sportswriters. * * * MICHIGAN bounced back to win the rest of the games on its schedule and capture the Big Ten championship. The Wildcats grew over-confident and fell victim to Ohio State and Illinois, both of which were beaten by the Wolver- ines. The freak defeat of the Maize and Blue did not detract one bit from the esteem in which it was held by the nation's grid- iron experts. The New York Times called the 1925 squad, "Yost's greatest modern foot- ball team." The final tally showed Michigan the popular choice as the nation's best team. The Wolverines wound up with seven wins in eight games and a point score of 227 as against only the three registered by the North- western fieldgoal. * * * YET AS GREAT a team as was Michigan, there emblazened on their otherwise spotless record stood that weird setback at the hands of an inferior Northwestern team. Perhaps this only serves to show the true nature of football, that past records and strength on paper are out the window when the weather takes a hand in deter- mining the final outcome. The same can be said with even great- er emphasis about psychological attitude.-' Today, 27 years after this mem- orable contest, the Wolverines and Wildcats will go at it again in the 27th chapter of their never-dull rivalry. while high-stepping Frankie How- ell will back up Branoff. THE WOLVERINE forward wall on offense will be Lowell Perry and Tad Stanford on the flanks, Dick Strozewski and Ben Peder- son at tackle, 'and Dick Beison and Bob Timm at the guard slots. Dick O'Shaughnessy will put the ball into play for the Blue. The offensive unit, which has moved the ball well thus far in the young season, is slated to have an enjoyable afternoon, judging by the tremendous yard- age the Northwestern defense has allowed its opponents in three losing contests. It may be another story for the Wolverine defensive squad, which has looked wobbly even in victory. To try and stop Hren, who sank Michigan last year with a 17 yard scoring jaunt, the Wolverines will call on linebackers Rog Zatkoff and Laurie LeClaire to support the forward wall. * * * CAPTAIN Merritt Green and Gene Knutson will man the de- fensive ends. Green is still oper- ating on a weakened ankle, but it is not expected to keep him out of action. Defensive tackles will be Art Walker and rugged Jim Balog. The vulnerable guard posts will see Bob Matheson, Don Dugger, Ted Cachey and Red Williams pa- ROGER ZATKOFF ... tackling terror SPORTS NEIL BERNSTEIN, Night Editor BOB HURLEY ... potent plunger rading in and out throughout the game. In the defensive backfield Dave Tinkham is situated at left half. His defending partner at the other half will be either Howell, Don Oldham or extra-point-kicker Russ Rescorla. Perry and Oldham will probably alternate at safety. The game is the twenty-seventh i na 60-year series. Michigan has won 16, lost eight, and tied two going into today's tilt. On the last trip here four years ago North- western edged Michigan in a thriller, 21-20.

Jim Wiggert caught a pass from Saria to start the scoring in the first half. Frank Norman inter- cepted a pass and ran 30 yards to v -- i, ON SATURDAY NIGHT It's Topflight .. . DANCING of the Union Balroom ... 9-12 paydirt to give LSA a halftime advantage of 13-0. Olin Storvick scored the extra point. IN THE SECOND half, Saria threw a pass to Storvick for an insurance touchdown. The Actuaries completed reg- ular play with a perfect record by whipping Canterbury, 18-6. The big gun for the Actuaries was Joe Byrne who passed for two touchdowns and scored an- other on a pass from Shell Capp. Byrne tossed an aerial to Capp who scampered 30 yards for the first score. *5 * * STANDISH-EVANS swept over Roger Williams, 26-0, in the day's highest scoring affair. Ron Schaef- fer sparked Standish-Evans to tri- umph with two touchdown passes to Bob Hardies in the first half and two more in the second half, one. each to Roland Zagnoli and Bob Stevens. Schaeffer also scored the extra point after the third touchdown on an end run. In the last min- ute of play, he intercepted a pass at midfield and returned the ball to the one-yard line to set up his touchdown pass to Stevens. Wesleyan nosed out a strong Michigan Fellowship team, 12-6. Jerry Church threw two touch- down passes to Jim Watson, one in each half, to account for the victory. By the Associated Press Michigan State's three back- fields will be dueling each other for scoring honors again today. A Syracuse team, rated as one of the best produced by theseast- ern school in years, will provide the opposition. THE PRE-GAME prediction is that Syracuse, which will dress only 35 men, will put up a stiff fight for at least the first half. But Michigan State's mass of manpower is expected to over- whelm Syracuse by the third or fourth quarter and this could be anothersscoring spree for the Spartans. Syracuse already has had a sample of the kind of football they teach at Michigan State. BOLLING FIELD Air Force elev- en quarterbacked by Al Dorow, the former MSC backfield boss, hand- ed Syracuse its only defeat of the season in the opener for the Or- angemen. Michigan State Coach Biggie Munn, who has dozens of good backs crowding each other on the bench, will alternate three offensive backfields. The first platoon is quarter- backed by Tom Yewcic and has power backs Don McAuliffe and Vince Pisano at the halfs and Wayne Benson at fullback. All but Yewcic are seniors.. * * * THE SECOND PLATOON, also directed by Yewcic, has speed mer- chants Leroy Bolden and Billy Wells as halfbacks and either Dick Panin or Evan Slonac at full- back. Bolden and Wells are second and third in rushing yardage for Michigan State this season. , Munn's third combination has pass expert Willie Thrower at quarterback, sophomores Bert Za- gers and Bernie Raterink at the halfs and Jerry Musetti, a fresh- man, at fullback. In other Big Ten games, Illinois is favored to hand Minnesota its first conference defeat and Wis- consin is spitted against Iowa at Iowa City. ' Illinois bounced back from its trimming by Wisconsin with a 48- 14 crushing of Washington, a team that defeated Minnesota 19-12. * *5 * WHILE MINNESOTA is capable of spring an upset, Iowa appears a cinch to take a fourth straight pasting from Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes have bowed to Pitt, 26- 14; Indiana, 20-13; and Purdue, 41-14. Purdue, unbeaten in two con- ference starts against Ohio State and Iowa, has the toughest as- signment among three non-Big Ten games. The Boilermakers take on an in- consistant Notre Dame squad at Lafayette, Indiana. A decisive vic- tory by Purdue can establish it firmly in the national ratings. However, Notre Dame, with all its ups and downs, is always danger- ous. * * * OHIO STATE, after knocking Wisconsin out of the Western Con- ference lead, encounters a winless but potentially troublesome Pa- cific Coast rival in Washington State. Also, Indiana is expected to easily take the measure of Tem- ple at Bloomington. Moving on to other sections of the country, the struggle between once-tied, high-scoring Oklahoma and unbeaten, untied and defensively strong Kansas looks like THE game of the Big Seven season-at least until Ne- braska gets into the act later. And Nebraska may have its troubles in the East against Penn .4 State, which tied Purdue earlier, and decisively beat West Virginia. * * * THE NEIGHBORHOOD battle between Navy and Maryland is a natural. The second-ranked Mary- land team showed ,awe-inspiring power against Georgia, but Navy this year has put up an impene- trable defense against lesser ri- vals.{ In the NCAA television Game of the Week, Cornell, the team which upset Michigan, 20 to 7, last year at Ithaca, takes on a strong Yale squad. Jack Jaeckel, who engineered Cornell's T formation upset of the Wolverines, will be back in the quarterback slot. The squad, oth- erwise, is a largely rebuilt one, hav- ing lost 26 lettermen at the close of the campaign. * * * CORNELL suffered another se- rious blow just before the season started when Halfback Billy Whel- an received a broken collar bone in a scrimmage. But he will be back Saturday. Sorely missed in 'the Big Red's first three games, Whelan re- turned to the lineup long enough to do the punting against Syr- acuse last week and he is expect- ed to carry a full offensive load against Yale. Yale features a coach who had the head coaching job thrust on him at the last moment, Jordan Olivar. So far this season, Olivar has guided the Bulldogs to three victories in their first four starts -more games than the squad won all last season.
