On the north side, a beaming Bennie Oosterbaan told reporters, "It was our best game of the sea- son in all ways-especially on de- fense." That was a lot of state- ment, coming from Oosterbaan, who usually pursues the philoso- phy of little comment. But he wasn't through. * * * > SOMEONE asked what made the difference between the two teams. Oosterbaan shot back, 9 "Fight." "We never let down, even after Purdue grabbed that big 10-point lead. We just kept plug- ging away and taking advantage of the breaks that came our way." Oosterbaan declined to name any outstanding players, be- cause he "thought every man on the team showed well today." The Wolverine mentor also ex- plained why wingback Frank How- ell was handed the ball three plays in succession to score the clinch- ing touchdown. "We wanted Franke to have that touchdown, because it's the first one he's ever scored for Michigan." * * * HOWELL, a senior who has played for three seasons, was vis- ibly pleased by the gesture. An- other senior, Don Oldham, was extra jovial also. He had reason to be. It was his pass interception and 25 yard runback that smashed Purdue's last-ditch effort and set up Howell's touchdown. Oldham also intercepted one other pass, in addition to batting down several more on important occasions. Oldham's perform- ance yesterday was probably his best as a Wolverine. Don Dugger, the scrappy guard, was impressed with the fight and drive the Boilermakers showed. "That was a mighty tough Purdue outfit," he declared. Dugger was one of a host of defensive stand- outs that kept Purdue from roll- ing up a big advantage during the first half. OOSTERBAAN reported the only Michigan injuries were to tackle Jim Balog and guard Ron Wil- liams. Both injured ankles. Then there was the south side of the tunnel-the Purdue dress- ing room. Coach Stu Holcombe wouldn't let in any reporters un- til he and his team had flown the coop, so to speak. The only person in the Purdue dressing room was a trainer. The rest were on buses headed for Willow Run Airport and the flight back to Lafayette when reporters entered. Montreal, Chicago In NHL Deadlock By The Associated Press MONTREAL - Veteran Elmer Lach scored all of the goals as the Montreal Canadiens downed the Boston Bruins, 2-0. The shutout was the second of the National Hockey League sea- son for Gerry McNeill. TORONTO - The Chicago Blackhawks move into a first place National Hockey League tie .with Montreal last night by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, erstwhile pacesetters, 3-1, on the strength of Pete Babando's two goals. yards to the Purdue three, where they were halted one yard shy of a first down. . * * * MICHIGAN held its narrow margin until 12:51 of the final stanza, at which time it annexed its third score to sew up the con- test. Don Oldham, who was at his defensive best during the clash, intercepted a Purdue aerial on the Boilermaker 42 and return- ed the ball to the five. Halfback Frankie Howell lung- ed into paydirt territory on his third carry for the first touch- down of his college career. Russ Rescorla booted the last of his three conversions to end the day's scoring. * * * THE GAME started out like it was going to be a repetition of Don't Cry.

With fullback Max Schmaling doing the bulk of the work, the Boilermakers moved to their first score in five plays, Schmal- ing driving over from two yards out. Samuels converted, and it looked like a bad day for Bennie Oosterbaan's charges. It looked even worse when Boil- ermaker Ed Zembal intercepted a Kressrepassat midfield three plays later. Purdue's Dale Samuels be- gan threading needles with his tosses and the ball was moved to the Michigan 16, where the drive stalled. S* * ON FOURTH down, reserve full- back Jim Reichert came off the bench to boot a field goal and Purdue had assumed a command- ing 10-0 lead with 12 seconds elapsed in the second period. It was at this point that the Wolverines caught fire. Taking th'e ensuing kickoff the Maize and Blue marched 66 yards in an even dozen plays to come ana aggregation. j Kress, Branoff and Balzhiser were the workhorses of the drivel with Branoff tallying the TD. The big break of the series came when the riveters were detected holding Perry at the line of scrimmage and were assessed 15 yards for the in- fraction, the ball winding up on the three yard stripe.E STATISTICALLY Purdue out-. played the Wolverines, piling up 12 first downs to Michigan's 10' and accumulating 248 totalyards to 226 for the Maize and Blue. This was due primarily to the first half activities when Mich- igan only picked up four first downs, two of which came by way of penalties. The contest featured no out- standing stars for the Wolverines. Everybody was a star once the throttle was pulled out. The de- fensive platoon was particularly effective in the second half, liter- ally rushing Samuels off his feet and forcing him to throw hur- riedly. It was, as Fielding Yost used to say, "a real Michigan afternoon." i 7 Top Four Big Ten Teams Still In Contention for Rose Bowl Army 14 Penn 13 Boston U. 14 NYU 7 Brandies 27 New Haven State d Bucknell 26 Gettysburg 21 Cornell 13 Dartmouth 7 Deleware 13 Lafayette 12 Fordham 33 Temple 6 Franklin & Marshall 7, Muhlen- berg 0 Geneva 14 Edinboro 0 Kings Point 0 Adelphi 0 Lehigh 26, Carnegie Tech 6 Maryland State 28, Bridgeport 13 Navy 28 Columbia 0 New Hampshire 23 Kent State 21 Penn State 7, Rutgers 6 Pittsburgh 48, North Carolina State 6 Princeton 27 Yale 21 Rochester 38, Allegheny 0 Rhode Island 28, Connecticut 25 Slippery Rock 14, Westminster 6 Springfield 14, American Interna- tional 7 Syracuse 20, Colgate 14 Wesleyan 7, Trinity 6 Xavier (Ohio) 6, Boston College 0 SOUTH Centra 21 Georgetown (Ky) 13 Cincinnati 54, Washington & Lee 0 Duke 14, Wake Forest 7 Fisk 19, Clark 14 Furman 9, Florida State 0 Georgia 13 Auburn 7 Georgia Tech 7, Alabama 3 Kentucky 27, Clemson 14 Kentucky State 12, Knoxville 0 Lane 43, Alabama State 18 Louisville 34, East State 20 Morehouse 25, Paine 7 Morgan State 26, Hampton 7 Mississippi 21 Maryland 14 Mississippi State 33 LSU 14 North Carolina 26, South Carolina 19 Tennessee 26, Florida 12 Tennessee State 26, Morris Brown 0 Tulane 16, Vanderbilt 7 Tuskegee 12, Dillard 0 Virginia 49, Richmond 0 Virginia Military 20, Citadel 19 Virginia State 12, North Carolina A&T 0 West Virginia 27, Virginia Tech 7 Winston-Salem 6, Elizabeth City 0 Wofford 41, Marshall 21 SOUTH-WEST Abilene Christian 21, Fort Sam Houston Houston 21 Houston 28, Baylor 6 Rice 16, Texas A&M 6 SMU 27, Arkansas 17 Texas 14, TCU 7 Texas Tech 14, Hardin Simmons 14 FAR WEST California 28, Washington 13 Colorado 34, Kansas State 14 Colorado College 40, Colorado Mines 14 Idaho 27, Oregon State 6 Idaho State 21, Lewis and Clark 18 New Mexico 3, Colorado A&M 0 Oregon 21, Stanford 20 USC 33 Washington 0 Utah 16 Santa Clara 13 Utah State 27, Brigham Young 26 Whitworth 21, Eastern Washing- ton 12 Here are some "IFS" on next' week's games that will determine the Big Ten champion (or cham- pions) and a Rose Bowl represen- tative. In order of probable oc- currence - If Wisconsin beats Minnesota and Michigan beats OSU, the two winners would tie for the Confer- ence championship. Rose Bowl representative would be selected by vote of Conference members. You try to figure out what that choice would be; * * * IF MICHIGAN wins and Wis- consin loses, the Wolverines are undisputed champions and prob- ably Rose Bowl representatives as well; If Wisconsin wins and Michi- gan loses, the Badgers are un- disputedchamps and probably Pasadena-bound; If Michigan and Wisconsin both lose, and Purdue defeats Indiana, the Boilermakers and Minnesota would tie for the championship. Pasadena trip would again be awarded by vote of Conference; If Michigan, Wisconsin, and Purdue lose, Minnesota would be undisputed champ and probable Rose Bowl representative; And if any of those games end in ties, it could cause still more confusion .. . 1 1 m STUDE TS, BE ISE!O First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Attempted Passes Completed Passes Intercepted Punts Punting Average Fumbles Lost Yards Penalized SCORE BYI Michigan Purdue Touchdowns: 10 134 92 16 it 1 7 I 12 95 153 29 15 2 5 39.6 36.8 2 2 60 75 PERIODS 0 7 73,0 7-21 0--10 I TOUCHDOWNS: Michigan-Branoff, Topor, Howell; Purdue-Schmaling CONVERSIONS: Michigan-Rescorla (3); Purdue-Samuels FIELD GOALS: Purdue-Reichert Y t $ $5.00 PER MONTH y RENTAL CAN BE APPLIED ~ TOWARD PURCHASE ANN ARBOR OFFICE MACHINE CO. 211 East Liberty Phone 8727' Sr:% Features in your "All American Ensian "'for '53 -'O Complete coverage of all sports, (60 full pages) r/ Group Pictures of Fraternities, Sororities, Dorms, and League Houses i-' Pictures and write-ups of all Student Activities on campus o Over 2300 Senior Pictures r/ Honoraries i- Advertising, both local and national i *For the third consecutive year, the Michiganensian has been awarded "ALL-AMER- Daily Classifieds Get Quick Results Read and Use Daily Classifieds ICAN RATING" as one of the country's top five college yearbooks.
