PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1953 Oosterbaan Lands Team For Victory Over Bucks By IVAN N. KAYEI Daily Sports Editor "It was a team victory, and I'm very proud of the boys." A smiling Bennie Oosterbaan spoke those words yesterday af- ternoon amid the delirium of the Michigan locker room after the upset victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. THE MICHIGAN coach did not want to single out any one player for special commendation. He agreed that this was Michigan's best effort of the season and was happy to report that none of his players had suffered serious injury in the gruelling contest. The Michigan team was alert and opportunistic, turning Ohio's mistakes into Wolverine touch- downs. Dick Balzhiser and Tad Stanford recorded the two most important pass interceptions. Stanford's especially removed all chance of an Ohio comeback. He almost returned the ball for a touchdown but was halted on the Ohio two. Ohio, famed for its comeback ability, never got the chance as the spirited Michigan forward wall engulfed all Buckeye scoring1 efforts. MICHIGAN'S victory gained some measure of revenge for the defeat last year at Columbus which knocked the Wolverines out of the conference championship and Rose Bowl picture. The tri- umph was the Wolverines' seventh in the last nine years over their arch rivals from the Buckeye State. A tie was recorded in 1949. Michigan has long been known as a November team and this season was no exception. The caliber of the varsity's play steadily improved, although games were lost to Illinois and Michigan State. Against the Illini, Michigan ran into a team which was having per- haps its best afternoon of the sea- son. In losing, the Wolverines were probably playing their best all-round game up to that time. AT EAST LANSING, before the nationwide television audience, the varsity played an even better, game. In both the Illinois and Michigan State games however, the offense did not come up to expectations. Yesterday the Wol- Conference Casts Votes On Bowl BidI CHICAGO - ) -Big Ten athletic directors, voting secret- ly last -night for the conference Rose Bowl representative, may have considered Illinois' smash-} ing 39-14 triumph over North-I western today the strongest bar- gaining right for the bid. The Big Ten representative to meet the Pacific Coast Conference} choice in the New Year's Day clas- sic will be either Michigan State or Illinois. They tied for the con- ference title, each with 5-1 rec- ords. BIG TEN cliehigan 20.

His slant over right tackle climaxed a 38-yard march that began after Dick Balzhiser had intercepted one of John Borton's passes. Michigan Trounces Favored Buckeyes - (Continued from Page 1) John Borton faded deep' into his own territory and tried to hit end Bob Joslin with a pass. Balzhiser, backing the line, drifted over and intercepted the toss, putting the ball on he OSU 38 and putting the Wolverines in business. Branoff got eight yards on the first play, fullback Bob Hurley'ripped off 15 on the next one, Cline got six, Hurley hit for another three and then Branoff slammed over the right3 side to score. In the afternoon, Branoff, the brilliant sophomore wingback, gained 113 yards on 17 tries-an average pickup of 6.7-to lead both teams in rush- ing. The Buckeyes couldn't go any- where-the Michigan line played stalwart ball, holding them to a net gain of 95 yards rushing and the secondary, while yielding 107 yards to the combined aerial at- tempts of Borton and Dave Leg- gett, came up with five intercep- tions to halt Ohio at crucial mo- ments. IT WAS the second of these in- terceptions, coming late in the' third quarter that killed all buck- eye hopes of winning. Baldacci had just punted to Howard "Hop- along" Cassady, Buckeye half, on the Ohio 14 and he was hit after a one yard gain. On the next play, Cassady was hit for a two yard loss and then Borton decided to" shake Cassady loose for a pass. He threw into the flat, but Tad Stanford, Wolverine end, aleri4y moved over and snared the ball on the OSU 20. Stanford side-stepped his way to the two before being downed. It took Michigan only one crack at the Ohio line to get its third touchdown-Cline spurted through FINAL BIG TEN FOOTBALL STANDINGS ONE STOP at Packard Laundry takes care of all 3! and fast!

Ohio State probably had its worst afternoon of the season yesterday. Not only were the Buckeyes up against a highly keyed Michigan team, but they themselves could do nothing right. For them it was the kind of an afternoon which was much like the Michigan experience at Minneapolis back at midseason. Ohio was badly beaten by Illi- nois early in the campaign, but on that day the Buckeyes managed to score three touchdowns to at least soften the blow of defeat. Yester- day's shutout was he only one in- uicted on Woody Hayes' usually high-scoring club during 1953. jE r UCLA cinched the PCC title yes- terday by defeating Southern Cal- ifornia, 13-0, while Stanford was knocked from a share of the crown by being held to a 21-21 tie by California. It now is only a for- mality in naming UCLA as the team to meet the Big Ten choice in the Rose Bowl. Neither Illinois nor Michigan State played UCLA this season. However, UCLA hung a 13-0 de- feat on Wisconsin, the team that smothered Illinois a week ago. 34-7. Choosing between them will be the most difficult selection ever forced on the voters since the bowl series started in 1947. THE DIRECTORS wired their votes to commissioner K. L. Tug Wilson in Chicago last night. Aft- er tabulation, he will announce the outcome today about 4 p.m. CST. If there is a 5-5 tie in the vot- ing, the poll will continue until it is broken. Wilson cannot break it himself. Georgia Tech Nips Blue Devils, 13-10 ATLANTIC - (A) - Halfbcak Billy Teas ran a punt back for 48 spectacular yards and a touch- down in the closing minutes yes- terday and Georgia Tech jumped back into the bowl pictue with a 13-10 victory over Duke's Blue Devils. Had it not been for the mas- terful running by the speedy junior, Tech fans would always have argued that the officials had robbed their Yellow Jack- ets of victory. Duke grabbed a 10-6 lead in the third quarter. The key play in Duke's drive was a lateral that brought thunderous boos from the sellout crowd of 40,000 when of- ficials allowed it to stand. The crowd had heard an offi- cial's whistle and it was sure half- back Lloyd Caudle had been stop- ped at the line of scrimmage. But officials allowed his lateral to quarterback Jerry Barger, who went 22 yards to the Tech 20. The Blue Devils scored in five plays, fullback Jack Kistler smashing through from the four. right tackle for the tally and Bal-I dacci's placement made it 20-0. The victory preserved an un- beaten slate for the Wolverines at home. They won all six games played in the friendly environs of Michigan Stadium, and lost every game on the road-it must have been those white uniforms.
