COLUMBUS, O., Nov, 20

and confident despite being shoved all over the field by a “fired-up band of Ohio State Buckeyes, closed the books today on its second straight all-victorious season with two rapier-like thrusts for a 13-to-3 triumph. The victory gave Michigan its second consecutive Big

Nine championship. As 82754 homecoming fans watched—the greatest crowd to attend a game in Ohio Stadium . in 20 ye Michigan struck first late in thé second period with three long passes for a touchdown, then came through in almost the same manner for their second score in the final quarter. Ohio’s hopes, built up weeklong by pep rallies and fan fests, rose to the heights in the first 25 minutes of play as Ohio scored a guick field goal from 25 yards out and then had its line—led by the departing Captain Dave Templeton at guard—hold the magic Michigan attack. in check. No. 28 for Wolverines It was Michigan 23d win in a row against some of the nation’s

Michigan lost a football game was in 1946, and that was a close 13-9 affair at the hands of the Rose Bowl and Big Nine champion of that year—Illinois. It was evident from the start that Ohio State was all-out fof the Michigan scalp. Immediately after the kickoff Ohio drove to the ' Michigan 28-yard line and seemed headed .for a touchdown when - halfback Jimmy Clark fumbled and Michigan recovered. After an exchange of punts Ohtd ‘again drove down to within striking distance. But when Michigan held, end Jimmy Hague kicked a field goal from 25 yards out. During that time Ohio locked the superior team. Ohio's line— featuring Templeton, tackle Dick

a long one to end Dick Rifenburg on which the referee declared interference on the Michigan 40. Quarterback Pete Elliott rifled one to Ortmann on the Ohio 44. Two passes were incomplete then Ortmann threw to end Harry Allis on the Ohio 20 and he carried it over for the score. Halfway through the fourth quarter the Wolverines decided again that the time had come. Halfback Walt Teninga passed twice in succession to the Canonsburg cannonball—Leo Kosceski— and Michigan landed on the OSU 27. Another pass, Elliott to Rifenburg, took it to the 11. Teninga ran to the Ohio three and fullback Tom Peterson plowed over from there. In all but one department statistically, Ohio was the leader. But in the things that counted— class, poise, and alertness—Michigan was the obvious champion. Ohio led 'in first downs, 14 to ; rushing, 130 yards to a mere 4; but Michigan had 116 yards gained passing to Ohio's 73.
