Ortmann flflay Prove Big
Factor, Pasadena Tilt
By Bob Myers
PASADENA. Calif.. Dec. 27 -WP- Calif ornia and Michigan stack
up today as an evenly matched pair of football teams but there are
many who think one young man will prove the cuilerence in their
Rose Bowl clash Jan. 1.
The player is Charles Ortmann,
more familiarly known as Chuck,
Michigan's 190-pound triple-threat
left halfback.
For three years the 21-year-old
senior from Milwaukee has been
a hero at Ann Arbor, starting in
his sophomore year when injury
to a varsity regular, speedy Gene
Derricotte, sent him off the bench
and on to a brilliant career for
the Wolverines.
The six-foot Wisconsin-born
lad looms large in the worries of
the, California coach, Lynn O.
(Pappy) Waldorf.
Comparing the 1950 Michigan
Big Ten champion team with last
year's Ohio State outfit, Waldorf
said: "I consider Ortmann a much
more dangerous man than Jerry
Krall of Ohio State."
Waldorf singled out Krall be
cause the Buckeye operated
at the same position for Ohio
State,- and Ohio State constitutes
the most recent of. two painful
memories of Rose Bowl tiffs with
the Big Ten at Pasadena. North
western provided toe other sad
memory in 1949.
To refresh your memory, Ohio
State beat the Golden Bears In
the final one minute and 55 sec
onds on Jim Hague's field goal
for a 17-14 decision.
Ortmann led the Big Ten in to
tal offense both as a sophomore
and junior. This fall he was hurt
in the first 15 minutes of the
opening game against Michigan
State and from there on was
either out of action or hampered
by injuries. He was still good
enough to rojl up 695 yards 590
yards via his passing and 105 on
the ground.
"Yes." said Waldorf, "I under
stand Ortmann is in very fine
health now. He would be, for us."
