Upset Saturday

Minnesota's big, rugged line was enough to scare any coach. Before last week's traditional battle for the "Little Brown Jug," Michigan's Coach Bennie Oosterbaan decided to strike over Minnesota's beef trust instead of through it. Bull's-eye passes set up two Michigan touchdowns.

Then the Wolverines tried hitting the line and found it just as easy to gain there. By winning, 14-7, twice-beaten Michigan took some steam out of unbeaten Minnesota's big drive toward the Western Conference championship and the Rose Bowl.

Other upsets last week: P:Unpredictable Louisiana State knocked the props from under North Carolina and Halfback Choo Choo Charlie Justice, 13-7, for the Tar Heels' first regular-season setback in 22 games. P:Underdog Southern Methodist, minus the services of Quarterback Doak Walker (ill with influenza), came from behind to beat undefeated Kentucky, 20-7.
