a score of 23 to 6 in front of a crowd of 20,000 at Michigan Stadium. With Paul White, Bill Daley and Merv Pregulman lost to military service, Michigan was required to substantially revamp its lineup. Bob Wiese moved from quarterback to fullback, Jack Wink became the starting quarterback, and Robert Derleth took over Pregulman's spot at right tackle. The game began with cool, cloudy conditions and ended in "a steady drizzle." Bob Wiese and Elroy Hirsch starred for Michigan. Wiese led the team with 100 yards on 18 carries. Hirsh ran for a touchdown in the first quarter and threw a 43-yard touchdown pass (35 yards in the air) to Wally Dreyer in the second quarter. The Wolverines held Indiana's highly-touted quarterback Bobby Hoernschemeyer to four completions out of 16 passes, intercepted four of his passes, and forced him out of the end zone for a safety as he attempted to pass in the third quarter. Explaining Hoernscemeyer's difficulties, the Chicago Daily Tribune noted that "the Hoosier backfield seemed swarming with Michigan men." Indiana's sole score came on an eight-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter from Hoernschemeyr to Pete Pihos. Indiana's touchdown was set up when Indiana intercepted a Bob Nussbaumer lateral and returned it 48 yards to Michigan's seven-yard line. Rudy Smeja intercepted a Hoernschemeyer pass in the fourth quarter and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. Rex Wells, a V-12 Marine transfer who had been captain of the 1942 Idaho Southern team, took over Pregulman's place-kicking duties and converted three extra point kicks for Michigan. Michigan outgained the Hoosiers by 269 to 124 rushing yards. Michigan's starting lineup against Indiana was Rudy Smeja (left end), Bob Hanzlik (left tackle), John Gallagher (left guard), Fred Negus (center), George Kraeger (right guard), Robert Derleth (right tackle), Bob Rennebohm (right end), Jack Wink (quarterback), Elroy Hirsch (left halfback), Wally Dreyer (right halfback), and Bob Wiese (fullback). Players appearing in the game as substitutes for Michigan were Hank Olshanski, Farnham Johnson, and Vincent Mroz (ends); Clem Bauman (tackle); Rex Wells (guard); Don Lund (quarterback); Bob Nussbaumer, Howard Wikel, and Earl Maves (halfback).
