There was one other score. Second team passer Frank Champi, a junior from Everett, moved his unit down the field easily in his first confrontation with the first defensive unit. A javelin thrower who held the University record for a month last spring, Champi can heave the football. In the touchdown drive, he hit junior bantamweight John Ballantyne with a bullet. Ballantyne made a fine leaping catch for 30 yards to the defense 10. A few plays later, Champi connected with Newcomer Skip Vaccarello for a six yard...

...Barry Wood Jr. '32 played quarterback in football, center forward in hockey and shortstop in baseball. Michigan's immortal coach Fielding Yost called him the best passer he had even seen after Wood mesmerized the Wolverlines in his fourth varsity appearance. In hockey, Wood had several hat tricks and in his senior year, singlehandedly tromped Yale in one game and produced a crucial tying goal in another...
