Dufek Michigan Hero;
.5-Year Pact Ends on
Sour Note for Coast
BY the Assoeiaied Press


Big Tens first five-year plan
stands as a 100 per cent success.
Michigan's 1916 victory over
California in the Rose Bowl before
98,939 befuddled spectators yes
terday completed the coup d'etat
which the diplomats of the West
ern Conference put over on the
Pacific Coast Conference.
That made it five victories in
five Rosy starts for the Big Ten.
1t was the third straight fistful
of thornS for California, and the
third time the Golden Bears have
collapsed in the final quarter.
Today, at nearby Riverside, the
Coast conference fathers will meet
to determine whether they want
another f1ve-year plan.
Ortmann and Dufek.
A pair of pigskin emissaries
with loaded portfolios led the
Wolverines to their second win Of
the five-year Rose Bowl pact.
Don Dufek. minister for ground,
Tailed both touchdowns and
amassed 113 yards running in %
tries, neat 40 average. Air
Minister Chuck Ortmann COM
pleted IS of 10 passes for 146
yards.
Dufek was the bludgeon and
Ortmann the rapier as the VOL
verines struck savagely for all IA
points in the fourth quarter.
Adding to the astonishment of
all witnesses was the fact that
California was almost complete
master of the first half.
AS the Bears equally bewildered
coach. Lynn Pappy) Waldorf, put
it: "It looked like two different
games"
In the first 80 minutes, the
Bears gave every sign of becoming
the prestige salvager the coast has
been looking for. Jim Marines
looped a 39-yard touchdown pass
to End Bob Cummings. All-Amer-
ica Less Richter failed to convert.
The Bears also drove 78 yards
in march that was stopped on
the Michigan 3-yard line before
the first half ended. Earlier, Pete
Schabarum broke away on a 73-
yard run to the goal, but a pen
atty nullif1ed the play. In all, the
Bears made 10 first downs to only
2 for Michigan. That was the
first half.
Everything Is Different.
When the carpet was cleared
for the second 80 minutes, it was
quite apparent some one had given
the Wolverines TRANSMISSION. 1t
developed that Capt. Allen Wahl,
the An-America tackle. read the
riot act to his mates during half
time while Coach Bennie Ooster-
baan performed minor bloodlet-
ting.
All during the third quarter,
California was backed into its own
territory and escaped only through
a tumble recovery and a pass in
Perception. Ortmann, the Mil
Waukee senior. began hitting his
receivers in the fiat. over the
middle, and-most effective of all
on screen passes to Dufek, the
rawboned senior fullback from
Chicago.
California finally faded under
the pressure midway in the fourth
period. In an 80-yard drive. Ort-
mann pitched five passes for IS
yards and Dufek ran for the rest.
To the Bears credit. it took Dufek
four smacks to score from 4 yards
out.
When Harry Allis booted the
conversion that put Michigan
ahead, 7-6, the same death knell
was in the air that sounded for
Cal last year against Ohio State
17-14) and in 1949 against North
western (20-14.
Fourth Down Gamble Fails.
The Wolverines got an extra
New Years present in the final
three minutes when Marines failed
on a fourth-down pass gamble.
Taking the ball on Gals 13-yard
line, Dufek went over three plays
later from the seven. Allis' second
conversion made it 1916.
To show how the complexion
changed. Michigan wound up with
a total of II first downs to CAL
ifornia's IL. and 291 yards run
ming and passing to 244 for the
Bears. John Olszewski and Scha-
barum led Cal with SO and 81 yards
on foot.
Both teams and their coaches
were filled with post-game admi-
ration for each other. Toughest
team we met all year-even bet
ter than Army (Which beat Mich
igan, 27-6)," said Oosterbaan,
whose team leaves for Ann Arbor
tomorrow.
Yes. Michigan was easily the
best we've played this season" /"
said Waldorf. His squad flies back
to Berkeley today.
Virtually all hands were agreed
that Dufek was the games bright
star, although nobody sighted
Ortmann. Said Capt. Wahl, the
spirit injector: Il guess we'll have
to give the game ball to Dufek."
