COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 21.-Ohio
State, brilliant precision football
machine. overpowered its bitterest
rival, Michigan, 81 to 7, to win an
undisputed Western Conference
championship today.
The 1896 fans who saw the game
raised Ohio's attendance for five
home games to 279,945.
The victory was sweet to Ohio in
more ways than one. It was the
first time the Bucks have beaten
Michigan since 1897 and it was the
first win over a Michigan team
coached by the willy Fritz Crisler.
The conference title was Ohios
second since 1889 and the first for
Its youthful coach, Paul Brown.
Ohio's three touchdowns came on
passes passes that were handled
with deadly accuracy despite Slip
perry ball. But the Bucks winning
margin Of two touchdowns came as
Its alert, hard-charging eleven capt.
talized on two breaks.
Michigan also set up It's only score
on passes, although the touchdown
was scored through the line.
The fact that both teams resorted
to the aerial game attested to the
power Of Michigans seven oak
posts" the linemen who played the
entire 60 minutes with only one sub
stitution, and Ohio's stellar line.
Lineman Sets Up Score.
1t was an Ohio lineman, Charles
Csuri Of Cleveland, who paved the
way for the first score. Csuri the
Bucks All-America tackle candi-
date, broke through in the second
period to block a punt by Michi-
gan's Tom Kuzma. Ohio got the
ball on the Wolverine IS.
Little Les Horvath. 166 pounds Of
dynamite, hurled a 20-yard pass to
speedy Paul Sarringhaus. Then the
two halfbacks reversed the proceed
ure. Horvath passed from the IL
to Sarringhaus over the goal line
Ohio led, 7 to 0, at the half after
almost taking the heart out of the
Wolverines by stopping them on the
3-yard line after an aerial attack
had taken them 40 yards. The half
time gun was all that kept Michi-
gan from scoring.
After an exchange of punts in
the third period, Ohio got the ball
on its own 36. Three plays later
Sarringhaus and lanky Bob Shaw.
Ohio end, engineered 5S-yard
touchdown pass play.
Sarringhaus pitched the ball %
yards to Shaw. who grabbed it on
the Michigan IS. Stepping along
like a toe dancer few inches in
side the sideline, Shaw eluded three
tacklers to cover the distance to the
goal.
Michigan Passes Connect.
Michigan got back into the ball
game with its own aerial attack.
Taking an out-of-bounds kickoff on
their own IS. the Wolverines went
to the Ohio 20 on two pass plays.
One from Halfback Paul White to
Sub Halfback Bob Chappius-an
Ohioan from Toledo-covered 80
yards and a Chappius pass to End
Elmer Madar was good for IS.
Then Bob Wiese. Michigan's
sophomore fullback, started his bat
tering-ram attack. Except for one
5-yard advance by White, Weise
pounded to the one, from where he
went over. Jim Brieske, a substi-
tute place-kicking artist, added the
extra point.
Ohio was determined not to make
the game close Shaw intercepted
one of Whites passes on the Mich
lgan 80 and the Bucks pounded to
the nine, from where Fullback Gene
Fekete tried a field goal that was
low.
Michigan advanced to its 80,
where White fumbled and Ohio re-
covered, Sarringhaus passed to Hor-
vath on the next play and the fleet
footed halfback got the ball on the
and scampered' across.
Interception Ends Threat.
Michigan got back to the Ohio "a
with three minutes to play. but Sar-
ringhaus intercepted 6. Kuzma pass
to end the threat.
1t was Michigan all the way as
far as statistics went. but it was
precision football-football that re-
suits in scores on perfectly executed
plays-that gave Ohio its eighth
win against one defeat for the sea-
son. The loss was Michigan's third
In nine games.
Michigan made II first downs to
nine for Ohio and out-rushed the
Bucks on the ground, l55 to 140, and
outgained them in the air, 1873 yards
to 1872.
But the final score was Ohio 81.
Michigan 7.
