20 POINTS IN 9 MINUTES hj a Miracle S5 j. RKicnow (i) r. t- so il.e- 1 b. i.ve,!!!!.! -J S' (, I --vs- v'-v, I J- -is i BY LYALL. SMITH Tree Presi Sport Editor ANN ARBOR "Lucky," they said when Michigan spotted Iowa 13 points in 1953 and came back to beat the Hawkeyes," 14 to 13.

"Still lucky," they claimed last year when Iowa again jumped off to a 13-0 lead and then fell, 14 to 13. "Same old stuff," they called it last Saturday when Minnesota grabbed a 13-0 lead before the Wolverines won it, 14 to 13. But what can they do now except cheer! The 72.096 customers here in Michigan Stadium still are trying to find words to explain the way the Wolverines defeated Iowa's Hawkeyes, 33 to 21, to take a giant stride westward toward the Rose Bowl. With a nationwide television audience riding with them, they did it the hard way once more. It was all Iowa for the first half, and when the ieams left the field at the intermission, Michigan trailed, 14 to 0.

THE WOLVERINES, undefeated and untied, looked as if they'd had it. Iowa, still trying for its first victory over them since 1924, was rolling and rugged. But when they came back for the final 30 minutes, the Wolverines went into the airways to stage one of the greatest comebacks of this, or any, football season, and win it, going away. They struck twice within 2 minutes and 37 seconds of the third period only to trail by one point when Ron Kramer's conversion attempt was blocked. A lesser team would have sagged when it saw the Hawkeyes pull themselves together and rush back 73 yards to strengthen their margin to 21 to 13 just before the start of the final quarter.

THAT MEANT Michigan had to score twice to pull thisj one out of the fire which the Iowans, coached by Forrest Evashevski (Michigan, '41), had built under them. And the Wolverines did not only twice, but three times in the most tremendous last-ditch resurgence in the long history of Michigan's glorious gridiron past. Here was the situation: They trailed by eight points with only 15 minutes to play. They had been behind the Hawkejes all of a cold, dank and overcast afternoon. Everything was at stake.

The Wolverines put in Jimmy Maddock at quarterback. He was the same player they had called on one year ago to pick them up when they were flat against the Iowa invaders. With nerveless ease under the heaviest pressure, he flung Michigan to its sixth straight triumph of the year. He started on his vn nine-yard line after an Iowa punt. He let Tony Branoff throw two quick passes to Jim Pace and End Tom Maentz to get the ball out to the32.

Then he took over. His first attempt was a strike to Kramer for 14 yards. He missed one. Then he was smeared back on his 35 for an 11-yard loss.

It was Maentz's second verines out front of Iowa, 27 to 21, late tally of the afternoon, his first pulling in the fourth quarter Saturday. Maentz U-M within a point of Iowa, 14 to 13. Another Is Born for risk's Old-Time Power Sinks Navy BUT HE STRUCK AGAIN. He faded back to his right on the next play and heaved a long one downfield. Kramer, back in action after missing two games by injury, was racing down the eastern sideline, jockeying for position with Defender Jerry Reichow.

Gigantic Ron reached up on the Iowa 38 -yard line, caught the ball, did a sideline dance to keep from stepping out of bounds and churned into the end zone. It was a 65-yard touchdown pass play and when Ron converted, Michigan again trailed by one point, 21 to 20. It looked big. It wasn't. There were only 10 seconds less than nine minutes left in the battle between two teams who were rocking each other with tremendous bursts of power.

Iowa took the following kickoff and rushed back into Wolverine territory with Reichow eating up time and yard-si ge on keeperplays to reach the Michigan 28. It was fourth down and one yard to go for a new Hawkeye series. Free Frew" Thoto PICK TRIPP BACK IN business is Ron Kramer, Michigan's great end.

But he was stopped this time for a yard loss. It was Michigan's football again. The clock said there were only three minutes and 37 seconds to go and Iowa still led, 21 to 20. Maddock aimed a pass at Maentz, a sensation all day on both sides of the line, on the first play. Big Tom was knocked down before the ball got to him.

Interference was called on the Michigan 40. The goal still was 60 yards away. Maddock, calling on every ounce of guile any quarterback ever possessed, sent the same player Maentz deep on the very next play after keeping him short on the previous one. Maentz, overshadowed for two seasons by Kramer, raced downfield and again it wa3 Reichow who was with him to try to keep the ball away from his clutching hands. He couldn't do it.

Maentz grabbed it on the Iowa 25 and went on into the end zone untouched. Kramer converted; the homecoming audience went wild; Michigan led for the first time; the clock said there were now 3 minutes and 24 seconds to play. Just two great passes by Jimmy Maddock and two great catches by Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz had turned the game toward the Wolverines. The first touchdown pass to Kramer for 65 yards.

Notre Dam" emphasized the growing trend toward old-time power play on the gridiron as it knocked Navy from the unde-featpd ranks by taking a convincing 21-7 victory before a record crowd of 59,475 fans. This was the Knute Rockr.e memorial game and the immortal coach who first led Notre Dame to the gridiron heights would have loved the manner in which the Irish gained the verdict.

AFTER ALMOST two decades of wide-open, razzle-dazzle play in which forward passing was predominant, the swing now is back to solid, bone-crushing ground attacks. Ohio State had it a week ago as it battered Wisconsin, and Notre Dame possessed it Saturday as it toppled Nary in "humpty dumpty" style from the perfect-record ranks. Navy went-into the game as ih" nation's No. 4 ranked team and was the top defensive unit in the land. The mighty Middies had won five ir a row this season they had permittted only two touchdowns to be scored against them.

But Notre Dame sneered at those statistics and sneered at the basic five-three en Navy Coach Eddie Erdelatz threw at them. With P8ul Hornung smoothly and smartly directing the attack, Jim Morse, Don Schaefer and Dean Studer ripped wide holes in the Middie line.
