Starting quarterback Dick Vid- mer passed a little, but his hand- offs to halfbacks Ron Johnson and Ernie Sharpe, and fullback Warren Sipp were most effective. Sipp, who earned a letter as a tight end last season, ran hard as he tried to fill the spot va- cated by Dave Fisher, who starred at the position last season. Johnson and Sharpe picked up two touchdowns each in the 60- minute full scrimmage. Vidmer accounted for another touchdown ~on a short run. For the scrimmage, the team was divided into three squads- the starting offensive and defen- sive blues, the gold second team and the white third team. Jimn Berline, (6-0, 190) the re- placement for All-American split end Jack lancy, saw little action Saturday. Most of Vidmer's passes were short screens to tight end Jim Mandich.t Dennis Brown, (5-9, 175) the second string quarterback, looked impressive as he led the gold squad and engineered its two most spectacular plays. Brown carried the ball on one of the plays, a 40-yard run. On the other, Brown, holding for a field goal attempt from the 25- yard line, missed the off-target snap, scrambled to retrieve the ball and managed to throw to halfback Garvie Craw in the end zone. Unfortunately that play was called back because of illegal re- ceivers down field. Michigan's defense, hit hard by graduation last spring, "is coming along," said coach Bump Elliott. But, Elliott said, "experience is the key," and this year's starting back field has no returning letter- men and a total of only 17 min- utes of game experience. Two players missed the scrim- mage because of injuries or ill- ness, and a third was injured in Saturday's action. Linebacker Robert Wedge was out with a minor foot injury suffered Satur- day before the scrimmage, and linebacker Cecil Pryor had a virus infection. Offensive guard Joe Lukz suf- fered a knee injury on a field goal attempt in the scrimmage, but its seriousness is not yet known. Billboafrd_. Eddie Feiger brings the "KingI and His Court" four man soft- ball team to the varsity baseball field behind Yost Field House this afternoon. The game, which starts at 2 ..00 p.m., features a full sized squad with Ann Arbor's best players challenging the fantastic pitching of Feigner backed up only by a catcher, shortstop and first baseman. Football managers are badly needed; here"s a fine opportunity to do Bump and his grid cohorts a good turn. Underclassmen hun- gry to find some semblance of identity should jump at the chance to assist those helpless Jocks.

Boswell, 12-9 with three shut- outs, weathered some hard shots by the Tigers in the early innings to best 17-game winner Denny M~cLain. McLain blanked the Twins on two hits through four innings but contributed to his own downfall with an error in the fifth. Tony Oliva led off with a line single to center. McLain, trying to pick him off first, threw wildly and Oliva 'raced to third. Cesar Tovar's sacrifice fly then broke the score- less tie. IBoswell's roughest inning was the second, when Eddie Mathews lined out to first base and Bill Freehan and Jim Northrup drilled singles. The Twins righthander got out of it when Ray Oyler grounded sharply to third and Tovar turned it -into 'a double play. * Chicago Stops Boston BOSTON-Joe Horlen, backed by a three-run first inning, hurled the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 victory over Boston Saturday, knocking the Red Sox out of the American League lead.
