T, OCTOBER 20, 1957 'I HE MICHIGAN DAILY T, OCTOBER 20, 1957 THE MICHIGAN DAILY £fp2/t4 COntneht BY JIM BAAD 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.
