The defeat ended a six-game Detroit winning streak. Cal McLish gave up nine hits over the first Jim (Mudcat) brilliant relief seven innings but Grant turned in a job to secure Mc- Lish's 16th pitching triumph.

Although the opening of the Big Ten football season is still one week away many of the na- tions top teams will be starting their seasons tomorrow. Most of the games scheduled will be played in the South, South- west and West. No game of major importance are slated in the Mid- west. Topping the list of intersec- tional encounters is the game in which Pittsburgh meets UCLA at Los Angeles.

The television game of the week pits Missouri against Vanderbilt. The game can be seen on station WWJ-TV, Channel 4, Detroit, at 3:45 p.m. CST. Former Michigan State assistant Dan Devine will be making his debut as head coach at Missouri. Vanderbilt is slightly favored in this contest. This game will give televiewers their first chance to see the new extra point rule in action. PCC's Last Year The Pacific Coast Conference starts its last season before dis- banding at the year's end when Washington State meets Stanford and Oregon battles Idaho in league action. The top southern game features Kentucky at Georgia Tech. Tech will be trying to rebound after a disappointing season last year.' Other top games on tap are North Carolina vs. North Carolina State, Rice vs. LSU, South Caro- lina vs. Duke, Texas vs. Georgia, Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech, Penn State vs. Nebraska, and Kansas: vs. TCU. S PORT-WHYS The Injury, Jinx THE COLLEGIATE gridiron season has begun. The few contests played last night, and the many more that will take place this afternoon mark the opening of another season of battling on the nation's collegiate football fields. Although Michigan and the other Big Ten schools don't begin until next Saturday, many of the games that have already taken place are of interest. Southern California, Michigan's opponent at Ann Arbor next Saturday, opened its season with a 22-8 loss to Oregon State, pre- season pick to represent the lame-duck Pacific Coast Conference in the Rose Bowl this year. Meanwhile the Wolverines are having many problems of their own. They will scrimmage in Michigan Stadium this afternoon. The session is closed to all spectators except a select group of press men,. This will probably be the last scrimmage before the opening game, according to coach Bennie Oosterbaan. The problems that plague Oosterbaan and his aides are primarily in the form of injuries. The list of those not expected to take part. this afternoon includes half of the starting team. Walt Johnson, first- string end, has a hip injury; Brad Myers, who can start at either halfback, has a bad knee; Don Deskins, the burly sophomore who has taken over at right tackle, is suffering from a shoulder injury; Gary Prahst, the other starting end, still is bothered by the knee in- jury sustained in the first scrimmage of the season; Captain John Herrnstein, Wolverine fullback, probably will stay out because of his broken nose and cheekbone. Aside from these first-stringers, Alex Callahan has a bad back and tape allergy, sophomore end John Halstead - who was stand- ing in for Prahst - has hurt his shoulder, and Tom Jobson has a bad knee. Although all of these players have been out at practice, they cannot be counted on for contact work. Injuries have already removed Jim Byers, who was counted on as starting center this fall, when he hurt his knee in an early practice session. Oosterbaan points out that of the three sophomores who have GB i% 6 9 27 By CHUCK KOZOLL If history intends to repeat it- self in the National Football League, it will have to do so against overwhelming odds. The only sure bet in pre-season prognostication is that a wild scramble for top positions will mark league play. Detroit emerges, with the slightest edge in the Western Division with Chicago or Baltimore in the most convenient position to dethrone the present ,champions. Dual quarterbacking chores handled by Bobby Layne and Tobin Rote plus strong running backs like John Henry Johnson, Gene Gedman and Hopalong Cas- sidy give the Lions exceptiontal 1ffensive power.

Strong Defense New York, who played the brides- maid role in 1957, will rely heavily on the prize from Vanderbilt, Phil King to spark its bid to dethrone the Brown group. Frank Gifford, halfback, Roosevelt Brown and Ray Wietcha in the line give the Giants the needed offensive punch. Veteran quarterback Eddie Le- Baron, who ranked second on pass- ing in the pro circuit last year gives Washington a sure chance of reaching near the leaders. Backs Don Bosseler, Jim Podoley and Ed Sutton give the Redskins much power in the backfield. New Quarterback When Van Brocklin moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, the Eagles rating took a big jump. Under the new tutelage of Buck Shaw, Walt Kowalczyk, the giant Michigan State blacksmith, and Purdue's Mel Dillard will spur on the Philly group. Buddy Parker's second year with the Steelers should patch up the giant holes -in the offensive line and hope for the best with the Chicago Cardinals placing faith in wet fields and Ollie Matson. Ii You have tried the Rest-Now try the Best looked the best so far - Jobson, Halstead and center Dick Syring - two are now out with injuries. What is this "injury jinx" that seems to pry at Michigan every year? Last season Herrnstein, the big offensive threat besides Jim Pace, had to spend most of the season sidelined. Pace himself had to battle injury, and was knocked out after a brilliant start In the Illinois game. Although many observers seem to feel that Michigan is hit hard- er than most other teams, perhaps the crucial thing is that the Wol- verines don't have the necessary depth to replace losses without hurting the potential of the team. Of course, few schools do, but many of those few are on the annual Michigan schedule. ... One Week To Repair SPEAKING OF that schedule - it is only a week away. Injuries or not, Oosterbaan will have to field a team in just one week. A team that is rated lower than any Michigan outfit in many years - one begins to wonder if the sports forecasters were forecasting in- juries along with everything else. The Wolverines will certainly live up- to their low rating if they can only field half of their good players. On the other hand - if everyone is well, and stays that way throughout the season -- Michigan could surprise, some' people. PIZZA r- ...

The Cup has become one of the greatest sports trophies of the world, although it seldom gets top piblicity by the press. It stands for far more than simple victory in the emotions of the sailors of the world's two top seafaring na- tions. It is a battle in which the top crews from both nations are as- sembled on the best sloops that exist. A crowd of about 8,000 people, floating on many different specta- tor ships will attempt to get a glimpse of the fast ships. Presi- dent Eisenhower and his wife, aboard the destroyer Mitcher will be among the group. Like World Series The competition is like the world series of baseball, as it is a best- of-seven race. They will race a 24- mile course, with one race run each day until one crew has won four. The sloop selected by the Ameri- cans is the Columbia, the choice1 made over three other yachts that asked consideration.

The British boat, the Sceptre, is a newcomer, and has never been in a race, while the Columbia has raced 29 official times. However, the Bnglish crew doesn't feel that they are at a disadvantage. Being an unknown quantity, the Sceptre has been closely observed by Americans, but no one can really say that they are acquainted with its possibilities. Actually, it is a battle of ideas and knowledge on sailing. The two boats represent a difference of opinion on the parts of the op- posing crews. They have different construction below the water line, and are using different sail. Columbia Has Edge The expert opinion here ranks them about equal, although the Columbia is given the edge in rough water and high wind. This is perhaps an advantage that will pay off, since Newport is famed for stormy weather in late Septem- ber. The forecast is fair weather, but tricky and shifting winds. No flat promises of any part cular wind direction could be made to the yachtsmen, and it may be an exciting and nerve-racking race today. A high front moved in yesterday, bringing cool temperatures and northerly and northwesterly winds ranging from 15 to 20 miles an hour. If the temperature rises to- day, a light sea breeze from the southeast should take over. In such a light breeze the two ships would be rated about equal. Then it will be a test of crews, and of the differences in shape and sail. Such a test of the two op- posing designs has never been made up to this- time.-as the Sceptre's is relatively new. The British have never won the cup since the American crew of the America (thus the name Amer- ica's Cup) won it in 1851. This year's English crew seems more confident, with their new sloop, than in many years. M'Sail To Defend -Title Today Bruce Goldsmith, a member of the Michigan sailing club the past few years, and one of the top, skippers nationally, will defend his rebel class national title today at Devil's Lake, Mich. Goldsmith, of the Devil's Lake Yacht Club, will compete' in a field of 45. The previous high in a national regatta has been 28. Two Races Tomorrow The rebel class of sailing vessel is a fiberglas-plastic craft which is small, light and fast. There will be two races held today and one tomorrow, the winner being the one who finishes highest \overall in the three. During the regatta a trophy will be presented to the associa- tion for presentation to the win- ner. The award will be made for the first time to the 1958 chain- pion at the spring meeting. Goldsmith, who won the na- tional nipper class championship at the age of 11, has been an out- standing sailor with the Michigan club. He won the present rebel championship at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, in 1957. Student Supplies Fountain Pens Zipper Note Books Stationery Fountain Pen Repairs by a factory-trained man. l ....
