But Duffy Daugherty had a few aces in his deck, too. He had his Hawaiian punch and Juday.

BY BOB riLLE Fre Press Sports Writer ANN ARBOR Bumbling Michigan came tumbling down Saturday, and down with the Wolverines came a lot of Big Ten prestige. In a decision that was partially self-inflicted and partially inflicted by Georgia, the Wolverines fell to the Bulldogs in a 15-7 upset. The result stunned into silence everybody except a few wavers of Confederate flags in the Michigan-Stadium crowd of 59,470, but you can bet that it's still echoing throughout the South. The football-proud Southeastern Conference, long smoldering under the nationally accepted theory that Big Ten football is best, can howl now. IT WAS THE SECTS SECOND shot at the Big Ten this season, and the SEC has won both.

When Florida beat second-division Northwestern two weeks ago. it wasn't taken as just a triumph over the Wildcats. "Florida Beats Big Ten" was the way Southern newspapers bannered it. Think what they will shout now that the victim wa3 the Big Ten and Rose Bowl champion. Because of the sectional outlook that allows litle mingling with teams which use Negro players, SEC schools are left to prove their superiority mostly among themselves.

Before this autumn's two games, there had been onlv one Big Ten-SEC meeting in the intervening years since Michigan beat Georgia, 27-0, In 1957. But Michigan wasn't beating the Bulldogs this time, even after shoving them all over the field in the first half for a 7-6 lead that would have been considerably larger except for the Wolverines' goofs. Michigan cashed only once, on substitute Tim Radi-gans one-foot plunge, set up by a 39-yard Dick Vidmer-Jack Clancy pass play. Georgia scored on two first-half field goals by Bobby Etter, held on through the third period, then took over and won the game. The Bulldogs allowed U-M to have the ball for only four plays in the first 11 minutes of the fourth quarter, went in front on Preston Ridlehuber's 10-yard touchdown pass to end Tat Hodgson and clinched it on Etter's third field goal with 1 :56 remaining.

It was hardily a heartening afternoon for the Wolverines.

Their quarterback problems appear again unsettled, and they hurt themselves with fumbles, pass interceptions and untimely penalties. Tackle Bill Yearby and backs Carl Ward, Jim Det-wiler and Dave Fisher were battered out of the game with injuries for part of the afternoon, and unbeaten Michigan State is next on the schedule. First time they had the ball, the Wolverines resumed the self-defeating tactics that had been overcome in earlier same combination had set it up with a 44-yard play and the other a 14-yard White-to-Bobby Goodrich scorcher in the final period.
