Ten victory that kept alive Michi-
gan's mathematical Rose Bowl
chances.
A crowd of 7s,201 fans saw the
two Wolverines rip through the
Northwestern line for two touch
downs apiece in a conquest that
found Michigan at its old-time
strength.
Dick Flowers. Northwestern
quarterback, cut loose with last
minute passing barrage that
pulled the visitors within threat
enlng distance-but then time ran
out.
Michigan End Harry Allis con-
verted all but the second touch
down kick and scored one touch
down himself.
Flowers Sets Pass Record.

Big Ten win against tie and
loss. Northwestern salvaged some
glory by setting pair of Western
Conference pass records.
Flowers set up a new season
pass completion mark of Sc to
surpass the record Of SO shared
by Otto Graham of Northwestern
and Perry Moss of Illinois.
Northwestern's giant end, Don
Stonesifer, who already holds the
Big Ten individual game and sea-
son receiving records, broke the
yardage record set in 1949 by
Jack Dittmer of Iowa.
But the crowds acclaim still
went to Ortmann and Dufek.
Dufek. Michigan's rugged line
smashing fullback, carried the ball
Is times and made 110 yards. He
scored two touchdowns and set
up another.

pass on the Northwestern Al and
ms five-yard runback started
Michigan on the way to its first

second period with safety and a
convincing touchdown that was
cllmaxed by a slick 32-yard run
by Fullback Dick Athan.
The safety was scored when Don
Oldham dropped Norman Krag-
seth's punt near the Michigan end
zone. Lowell Perry of Michigan
recovered the ball behind the goal

Northwestern % apd followed it
into the end zone where he fell
on it,

leveled by Northwesterns late
surge when Michigan was using
substitutes.
