SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1927. THE MICHIGAN DAILY ARMY BEATS UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT IN CLOSE GAME LONG PASS RESULTS IN ONLY TOUCHDOWN Quarters Are Linited To 11 linites During Second Half Due 0 To Intense heat. OKLAHOMA DOWNS CHICAGO (By Assocatd Press) WEST POINT, N. Y., Oct. 1.-One long pass, Cagel to Born, in the first quarter against a substitute team, gave the Army a 6 to 0 victory over the University of Detroit football team here today. Coach Dorais started his second squad with the strategic purpose of hurling in his regulars at an opportune mo- ment. The move failed. After an early exchange of punts Army had the ball on the Titan's 47-yard line. After Cagel was stopped for no gain, he passed over the line to Born who dropped for what proved to be the only score of the game. Wilson missed the attempt for goal. iBoth Teams Fumble. Fumbles were frequent by both teams. The third and fourth quarters were limited to 11 minutes each be- cause of the intense heat. Detroit, on a series of line bucks and an Army penalty, advanced to the Cadets' 10-yard line early in the sec- ond quarter, but lost the ball on downs. Both sides turned to punting when the heat began to take its toll, and substitutions were frequent. Grier Misses Goal. Grier, sent into the Army backfield to attempt a field goal, missed and Brazil punted out of danger as the half ended. Again in the third quarter, .De- troit threatened when a pass, Maloney to Phelan, took the ball to the Army's 8-yard line. The Cadets' regular squad, which had been resting, was rushed in to halt the advance. Connell made two (yards off tackle and the Titan's last chance for a score was lost. In the fourth quarter Dorais' men unleashed a passing attack which net- ted gains of 40 yards andl 35 yards, but the Army defense broke up the ad- vance by intercepting a pass. CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-With five min- utes to go and Chicago leading 7 to 0, Haskins of Oklahoma passed twice, each throw resulting in a touchdown and the Sooners defeated Chicago by a 13 to 7 score here today. Chicago's lead, acquired in the second period when Mendenhall, playing his first! game of college football, passed, kicked and bucked for a touchdown, was never threatened until late in the final period. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-In mid- summer heat the University of Penn- sylvania crushed the Swarthmore col- lege football team on Franklin field today, 33 to 0. About 40,000 persons perspired in the heat and watched the game. Pennsylvania ran' over Swarthmore in the first period for a score of 20 to 0, but did not score again until the last period when two more touch- downs were made. the first three touchdowns came i 11t minutes. Instead of adhering to the hidden- ball entirely, Pennsylvania opened wide her attackls and made consider- able headway through the air.

Heilrann Is Close To Leader In Race For Batting Honors (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-While Paul Wan- er, the hard hitting Pittsburgh out- fielder has sewed up the National league individual batting champion- ship for 1927, a meryy contest, with the winners still in doubt is waging in the American circuit between A Simmons of Philadelphia and Harry Heilmann of Detroit, the off again on again champion. Simmons Tops League. Including games of September 28 unofficial averages show that these two players are separated by the nar. row margin of one point, Simmons leading with .390. The slugging Tiger outfielder, however, apparently seems destined to win the honor which he has held every other year since 1921 because of his spectacular spurt with the willow. Last week Heilmann was four points behind Simmon, who is making a great effort to gain the batting championship of the junior, circuit. Pushed by the stress t,?
