...death. They were just hoodwinked and whipsawed by Michigan's slickers. Jack Weisenburger, Crisler's sturdy spinning fullback, started most of Michigan's backfield ballet and ball-handling hocuspocus, and chewed through the center of Southern Cal's bewildered line for three Michigan touchdowns. Trigger Man Bob Chappuis (TIME, Nov. 3), who admitted later that he wasn't quite up to snuff, completed only 14 of 24 passes (two for touchdowns), passed and ran the ball 279 yards for a new Rose Bowl record. When the gun ended it all, Michigan...
...aggrieved bus driver said that, when he failed to pull his bus out of the way of Rivera's car, the famed muralist had pumped bullets at him from a .45 semiautomatic. "Nonsense," cried Artist David Siqueiros. At the moment Rivera was supposed to have been squeezing the trigger, he was actually in Jose Clemente Orozco's apartment heaving charges of artistic ineptitude at his host and Siqueiros himself...
...replace this left-wing triumvirate, the U.A.W. got a Reutherite secretary-treasurer, Emil Mazey, 34, tough and trigger-witted co-director of U.A.W. operations on Detroit's East Side; and two Reutherite vice presidents, plodding Richard Gosser, 46, of Toledo, and organizing expert John Livingston, 39, of St. Louis. Like Reuther, Mazey-who would henceforth be the U.A.W.'s No. 2 man-once held a card in the Socialist Party. He is a veteran of U.A.W. picket lines; as a G.I. he led a war's-end campaign to bring the boys home early from the Philippines...
There are two crack halfbacks on Michigan's unbeaten team, which ran wild last week against Wisconsin (40 to 6) to win the Big Nine Championship and a ticket to the Rose Bowl. Bump Elliott is good on both offense and defense, but trigger-armed Bob Chappuis (TIME, Nov. 3), a specialist, is more spectacular. The only trouble with a backfield made up of the nation's four most touted backfield stars-Lujack, Conerly, Walker and Chappuis-is that there isn't a fullback among them...
...experts ignored Leahy's coachly gloom ("We are not equipped.'We do not have the weapons"), made the Irish an 18-point favorite. They were mainly impressed by Notre Dame's trigger-armed Quarterback Johnny Lujack. But no sooner had the game begun in jampacked Notre Dame stadium than Leahy uncovered another weapon: a Fighting Irish player who was actually Irish. It took Halfback Terry Brennan exactly 21 seconds to take the opening kick-off and scamper 97 yards for a touchdown. That took the spark out of Army, although they fought hard and had carefully memorized...
