WITH DAVE GREY
Sideline Impressions
t seems like a different game when one watches from the sidelines.
You see and hear details missed from higher up in the Stadium
or in the press box. But, as many football players on the bench will
say, you also don't get to see some of the key blocks, tackles, or holes
open up in the line.
Running around as a photographer's assistant yesterday gave me
the opportunity to gather some scattered impressions of "color" in
one of Michigan's most brutal routs in recent years.
From the field, Michigan showed its bigger size. The crisp line
play time and again pushed Army back to set up the potent single
wing attack. Michigan looked faster and the timing was sharper than
the Cadets, who usually excel in this department. 1
But not all the energy is on the playing field. Under Ann Arbor's
warm sun, the team, band, and cheerleaders all had a good workout.
As one of the referees commented with a smile during a time-out in
the third quarter, "Too hot for this; this is baseball weather"
There is little of the "spectac-
ular atmosphere" for players that
one might expect. You can see the
pre-occupied intensity of expres- ,.,.
sion. Not until the final quarter did
smiles and signs of relaxing begin
to show on the bench. Even then
the eyes of the individual players :
and coaches kept turning toward s
the scoreboard and the "all pow-
erful" clock.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan was
his usual self, unsmiling, outwardly
calm, and always in motion. Often CONCENTRATION
with his arms tucked behind his ,.Robinson
back underneath his suitcoat, Oos- ..Oosterbaan
terbaan shows little emotion.
He is often in conference with his other coaches, especially line
Coach Jack Blott, while the Michigan quarterbacks are constantly in
touch via phone to another of Michigan's coaches up in the press
box.
Army Shows Troubles.. .
From the sidelines, it looked obvious on a couple of Michigan's pass
patterns exactly where the pass was going. Despite the obviousness,
the Army defense was not able to use their knowledge of Michigan's
plays to advantage. The coordination of the Cadet center and quarter-
back on both first and second team offense also was not clicking.
Army fumbles were frequent, but Michigan's good tackling was
still not rocking enough to cause most of this 'damage. Coach Earl
Blaik admitted that his team hurt themselves more than they helped.
There were also other minor details that often we never see.
One of the Wolverine team managers let out a cheer during the
explosive first half and was reprimanded by one of the referees, "No
cheering allowed on the field."
Block 'M' looked good, especially since I, like many other students,
have never seen it before in action. And quite often the Michigan
rooting section solidly outcheered the organized Cadets on the other
side.
The thought of the day uppermost in the minds of many people,
however, came from Captain Tom Maentz, kneeling on the sidelines,
Just before the end of the first half, "Too bad we couldn't have done
this last week."

Rain, Wildcats Halt Late Gopher Rally;
Dillard Sparks Boilermaker Victory

MINNEAPOLIS (g) - Underdog
Northwestern hurled back a last-
ditch Minnesota offensive against
the backdrop of a nightmarish
rain storm yesterday to gain a
scoreless tie with the unbeaten
Gophers.
A crowd that started out at 62,-
468 sat in utter misery as the
Gophers stumbled and fumbled
against the highly-tuned Wildcats
in a soaking second-half downpour.
Wildcats Brace
But with four minutes remain-
ing, second string quarterback
Bobby Cox fired a Minnesota rally
that penetrated to the North-
western 18 before the Wildcats
braced splendidly.
Northwestern, a two-touchdown
underdog, shook the Minnesotans
with a third period foray which
carried to the Minnesota 25. On
fourth down fullback Charley Jer-
asa tried a field goal from the 32

but hoisted a high pop-up which
fell far short.
54 Yard March
Minnesota, gunning for its sec-
ond Big Ten triumph, shot out of
its offensive doldrums with spo-
radic marches, the most promising
of which rolled 54 yards to the
Wildcat one before Ken Bombar-
dier fumbled and Northwestern's
George Gondek recovered on the
one.
Minutes later another fumble,
by sophomore Bob Blakley, stymied
another Minnesota thrust, and the
Cat's Frank Bennett recovered on
the 17.
A third Minnesota fumble, by
Dave Lindblom, handed the Cats
a glittering chance in the fourth
period but Lindblom himself cut
it short with a key fourth down
tackle of Bob McKeiver on the
Minnesota 25.

Purdue 28, Notre Dame 14
SOUTH BEND, Ind. {})-Full-
back Mel Dillard scored twice and
generally terrorized Notre Dame's
sophomoric defense with slashing
runs yesterday to combine with
Len Dawson's excellent quarter-
backing in leading Purdue to a 28-
14 upset football victory.
The Boilermakers, 7-point un-
derdogs, surprised the Irish for
the third time in the last five
years with a devastating ground
attack mixed with enough Dawson
aerials to keep Notre Dame guess-
ing and the capacity crowd of 58,-
000 yelling.
Score in Each Quarter
The Big Ten team scoring in
every quarter-rolled up a 14-0
margin before the Irish tallied late
in the second to trail 14-7 at half-
time.

-Daily-haries Curti!
PUNT RETURN-Michigan quarterback Jim Maddock is probably
one of the few football players in history ever to catch a punt
deep in his opponent's territory. Maddock caught the weak Army
kick late in the third quarter on the Cadet 18-yd. line and returned
it to the 3.
Buckeyes, Hawkeyes Win;

Spartans Trot
By The Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Unbeaten
Ohio State, the team which spurn-
ed the forward pass, scored one
touchdown on a pass and another
on a fake pass, to launch its Big
Ten title defense with a 26-6 vic-
tory over error-smitted Illinois
yesterday.
In grinding to their 14th consec-
utive conference triumph-one shy
of Michigan's league mark-the
Buckeyes chewed up their usual
ground yardage, but needed an
Illini fumble and a pass intercep-
tion, to turn the tide.
Quarterback Frank Ellwood, who
completed two of the passes Ohio
State tried, and halfback Jim
Roseboro each scored two touch-
downs as Ohio State hammered to
its third victory of the season.
The Buckeyes rolled to 282 yards
rushing, 101 yards coming from
hard-hitting Roseboro in 19 car-
ries for a 5.3 average. Ohia State's
2 for 3 passing record was. good
for only 29 yards, but included was
a 14-yard touchdown toss.
Iowa 13, Wisconsin 7
IOWA CITY, Iowa-Hard-hit-
ting Iowa, aided by clever decep-
tion, smashed down Wisconsin, 13-
7, yesterday in a wild, bruising
Big Ten football game that had
a near record crowd of 53,273 limp
at the finish.
Iowa beat back a late challenge
by the aggressive Badgers who
had gone into the fourth period
trailing 13-0 after Iowa's stout de-
fense had turned back three Wis-
consin threats.
Wisconsin, marking its confer-
ence debut, finally scored mid-
wa$ in the final period on a 23-
yard flat pass play, Don Carlson
to Eugene Melvin, and got the
successful conversion from Glenn
Bestor.I

ance Hoosiers
A five-minute electrical storm
had doused the stadium with rain
just before Iowa took off from its
16 yard line. There had been no
damage from the storm, but
Iowa's lightning-like t h r u s t s
through the air cut through Wic-
consin for a touchdown on eight
plays.
MSU 53, Indiana 6
EAST LANSING, Mich.-Michi-
igan State added a brilliantly suc-
cessful passing game to its brutal
running attack and swamped In-
diana 53-6 in a one-sided Big Ten
football game yesterday.
The Spartans used alternating
backfields to jump to a 27-6 half-
time lead and won running away
before 58,858 homecoming fans,
the largest crowd in Macklin Sta-
dium history.
MSU, No. 2 team in the country,
had relied on sheer running
strength to win its first two games
against Indiana the Spartans
opened up-passing on the first
play and throughout the game.
State outscored Indiana, which
now has lost three in a row, three
touchdowns to one in the first
quarter ,added one in the second
period and two more in the third
and fourth quarters.
Clarence Peaks, the versatile
plunging and passing lefthalf, pro-
vided the day's crowd-rouser with
a 63-yard punt return touchdown,
jolting off several would-be tack-
lers on his way.
