A MN AHbOF, MICH, OcCODer
~ 11.-With their backs to
1 \ the wall and facing what
see m e. insurmountable
odds, the Michigan Wolverines
staged fighting, clawing come
back to down Purdue, IA to 13,
here today and provide the out
standing upset on the Big Ten
foot ball front.
Two touchdowns behind at the end of
the first period, the Wolverines opened
with a determined rush In the second
period, overlook and passed the Boiler
makers and thereafter held the power
full attack of their ace backheld man,
Yunevich, and his mates in check TO
send the Big Ten champions down to
defeat in their opening game OF their
defense of conference foot ball honors.
It was a game in which the aerial
department, running attack and the
timely use of the hoary Wolverine "83'
play combined to bring touchdowns,
The unerring toe of Newman, suosti-
tute sophomore quarterback, PROVIDED
the l-poirt margin by which the Boil
SSN~~
extra points after touchdown after Van
Bibber, kicking for the visitors, muffed
his second chance.
The smashing attack Of Yunevich,
combined with a passing attack, gave
the Boilermakers their first touchdown.
The game was only a few minutes old
when the powerful Purdue fullback,
feinting a line plunge, swung around
the Wolverine right end and crossed
the goal line. Pope's forward pass and
plunges by Yunevich, Pope and Purvis
had put the ball within scoring dis
lance.
Purdue Scores Again
The outlook became darker for Mich
igan a short time later when Purdue
opened up with an aerial game which
reeled off three good gains and brought
the second touchdown. Pope threw to
Calvert, White and Moss for gains
which teamed with running attack
to take the oval within the 10yard line
On the fourth down Pope sailed lat
eral pass to Keegan, Subbing at quar-
terback for Purdue, and the receiver
went over.
Van Bibber had made good his kick
after the first touchdown, but he missed
on the second for what proved to be
lie POn1tS "AACA OOPANcO GuAoue VI
tie.
It was a scrapping bunch of VOL
verineS which opened up In the second
period The quarter was only few
minutes old when Daniels, who replaced
Draveling at the Michigan right end
shared a long toss from Newman and
sprinted across the goal line.
Three Purdue fumbles aided in the
Michigan drive, which eliminated in
the second touchdown and the final
scoring of the day. A muff by Risk,
who replaced Purvis. recovered by Nor
rison, huge Michigan center, on the
Purdue 24-yard line, provided the turn
ing point for the Wolverines. Michigan
could not put the ball over this time,
but another break came their way a
moment later when Daniels recovered
for the Wolverines on Purdue's 22-yard
line.
Old "83" Play Works.
Forward passes availed Michigan
little and Purdue took the ball on their
own 21-yard line. Kissell, who had re-
placed Pope at left halfback, then
fumbled and Samuels recovered for
Michigan on the Boilermaker 26-yard
line.
At that point began a march which
10
execute their famous "83" play. After
working the bali up to the 5-yard line,
Wheeler, who had gone in at left half
back for Michigan, slid across the goal
line for the tying touchdown as the
old play worked perfectly.
The remainder of the game was a
nip-andtuck affair, with Michigan
holding the running attack of the Boil
ermakers well in hand, but with the
Purdue passing game still worrying
it bit.
A furry of passing by Purdue in the
dying minutes of the game was nipped
in the bud, first by Simrall, who grab
bed toss out of the air on his own
20-yard stripe and raced to Purdue's
46-yard line, and then by Newman
who took desperate heave from the
8-yard line and returned to the IS
yard line. Wheeler and Newman had
succeeded in driving the visitors back
to the 10-yard line when the game
ended.
