Sooners Extend
Long Win Streak
Wolverines Come Alive
IT TOOK UNTIL the fourth quarter but Michigan regained the spirit
of old yesterday. It appeared as though it were present early in the
game, but even with the two touchdowns, fumbleitis and general
laggardness on defense crept in to let an outplayed Northwestern tie
the score.
On the drive for the third touchdown, however, the Wolverines
threw off the sluggishness and came alive. Fullback Jim Byers led
the way. A third stringer last week, Byers was promoted to starter
yesterday and stole the show. He began the fourth quarter scoring
spree on Michigan's first play from scrimmage after Northwestern's
tying score. The big fullback took a handoff over right guard for 21
yards and the Wolverines were on their way to the winning touchdown.
During the drive another instance of regained spirit showed when
Michigan had a fourth down and two situation on Northwestern's
35 yard line. This time Jim Pace took the ball for five yards and the
precious drive-sustaining first down. Still another instanch of the
Wolverine desire to score was Mary Nyren s nimble recovery of
Byers' fumble on Northwestern's
eight.
Byers didn't finish his after-
noon's work with only the one run,
either. The next time Michigan got
the ball, he ripped off another
sprint up the middle almost iden- f
tical to the first to start the Wol-
verines on another scoring march.
All totaled, coach Bennie Ooster-
baan's replacement for John
Herrnstein covered 92 yards in 13
tries for a 7.1 average.
Northwestetn's counterpart to
Byers yesterday was outweighed by 4
every man on the field. Once the
Wildcats got some control of the
ball (it took them until the second
half), Bobby McKiever was off and
running again. The little halfback,
who gave ,Michigan such a bad JIM BYERS
time last year, tried to do it again, . .. crashes over NU
but injuries stopped him at last.
Before he left the game with six a
minutes gone in the fourth quarter
with a bad cramp in his leg, Mc-
Kiever had almost , singlehandly
tied up the ball game. He scored
Northwestern's first touchdown on
a twenty yard scamper around
right end, after setting it up with'
a clutch first down run from a.
fake punt formation. He was also
instrumental in setting up the
tying score. His statistics read
similar to Byers'-78 yards on 11 w
carries for a 7.1 average.<
McKeiver's contribution was not
only in the yards gained depart- .
ment. In the first half, w h e n
Northwestern just couldn't movea
the ball, the little halfback punted
his team out of immediate trouble BOB MKEIVER
three times, averaging 49 yards on ,... fighting ball-carrier
his kicks.
The Wildcat's other outstanding player was Al Viola. The hefty
All-Big Ten guard fought Michigan all the way. Leaving the game
4 with an injury in the first half, he returned in the second to add his
blocking to the touchdown drives. He was finally forced from the game
with another injury in the last quarter. As he left the field, several of
the Wolverines walked over and shook his hand, revealing their ad-
miration for such a formidable opponent.
Two Wolverines stepped into the end zone for the first time yester-
day. End Dave Bowers,, who started in place of the injured Gary
Prahst, caught the pass to start Michigan's scoring. A senior, he's
been waiting two years for this. On the other hand, Al Groce, who
scored Michigan's final touchdown, is only a sophomore and got his in
early.
Prahst, even though injured and confined to the bench most of the
afternoon, 'limped' into the game in the fourth quarter, and moved
himself downfield to be on the receiving end of Jim Van Pelt's 45 yard
pass, which incidentally was the longest heave of the day.
Perhaps adding to Michigan's fourth-quarter 'pickup' were events
which happened far away on other gridirons. During the second half
the loudspeakers kept booming over the field the news that Minnesota
was taking a drubbing from Illinois and that the 'invincible' Spartans
of Lansing were going down to defeat at the hands of Purdue. With
these facts it was probably easily figured, even in the heat of the game,
that a victory would put Michigan right back in the thick of the Big
Ten race.
