WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1946 THE MICHIGAN IAIII Varsity SquadScrimmages Against Minnesota Form PAGE THREE ations Reserve Team Runs Through Gopher Plays Crisler Keeps Evashevski From All Contact Work; Kolesar Replaces Sukup Coach Fritz Crisler's Wolverines scrimmaged against Minnesota for- mations for two long hours yesterday in preparation for their duel with the Golden Gophers at Minneapolis Sat- urday. The Suicide Squad second string- ers were loaded with Minnesota plays and formations, and Crisler gave his Varsity a look-see at the variety of stuff Bernie Bierman will undoubted- ly throw at them. Frank Day, speedy Detroit soph- omore, played the role of the villain, George Franck. Last season Franck, 178-pound Gopher halfback, got away against Michigan for runs of 59 and 31 yards, and today's session was held for the simple reason that Coach Crisler doesn't want a dupli- cation of last fall's debacle. Emphasizing their own ground at- tack, the Wolverines also devoted some time to polishing the offense which has rolled over five foes for 1,346 yards. Capt. Forest Evashevski stayed out of all contact work and sophomore Bob Kolesar replaced guard Milo Sukup, who is hospitalized becausel of recurrent headaches. Crisler indicated that Davie Nel- son would start at the wingback slot Saturday. He also said that he will name his traveling squad tomorrow after Sukup's fate is definitely de- termined. The team will leave after practice on Thursday and will work out at St. Paul on Friday. The 100- piece Wolverine band will leave on Friday. Greenberg Wins Award; Managerial Race Intensifies These Gopher Gridmen Menace Wolverines' Title hopes Bob Feller Is Second To Hank; l 0 V I Indian Pilot Job Is Wide Open' I CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-1P)-Big Hen- ry Greenberg, Detroit outfielder and home run specialist, is the American League's "most valuable player" for the second time in six years. After seven years at first base for the Tigers, Greenberg moved to the outfield "for the good of the team" and experienced one of his brightest seasons, leading the league in home runs and runs batted in. He received the award first in 1935. A 24-man committee, represent- ing the Baseball Writers Association of America, gave the 29-year old Greenberg 292 points in the annual poll for the award. Bob Feller, Cleveland's young pit- cher, trailed the Tiger star with 222 points. Greenberg, who knocked 41 homers and drove in 150 runs, received 16 first place votes out of a possible 24. seven for second place and one for sixth. Feller was given six first- place votes for his brilliant record of 27 victories, and Detroit's Buck Newsom and Cleveland's Lou Bou- dreau split the other two. Joe DiMaggio, New York star who led the circuit in batting for the second straight season, fell to third place in the voting after winning the award in 1939. DiMaggio received 151 points, followed by Newsom with 120' and Boudreau with 119. Jimmy Foxx, Boston first baseman and cat- cher and three time winner of the "most valuable" designation, drew 110 points. Schoolboy Rowe, of Detroit, rated seventh with 62 points, followed by his teammate, Rudy York, 61; Rip Radcliff, St. Louis; and Luke App- ling, Chicago, 54. .' CLEVELAND. Nov. 5. -(R' The Cleveland Indians' managerial derby, picking up more entries at every turn, headed into the home stretch today as President Alva Bradley de- clared he would name a 1941 pilot next Tuesday. "I am working on the matter now and expect to have it virtually cleared up by the weekend," Bradley said. The club president added that Mickey Cochrane, former Detroit man ager and reported one of the lead- ing candidates, was "not being con- sidered." Cochrane was the second possibility eliminated within a day, Manager Bucky Harris having signed a new contract with Washington. The moves left only two men in the field with whom Bradley has ad- mitted conferring-former manager Roger Peckinpaugh and Coach Luke Sewell. Peckinpaugh, a Clevelander who is connected with the American League in a promotional capacity, piloted the Indians five full seasons starting in 1928. He was discharged and re- placed by Walter Johnson in the middle of his sixth year. Sewell, erstwhile Cleveland catcher who lives in nearby Akron, has had no managerial experience. Rogers Hornsby was being men- tioned frequently. Even Babe Ruth was on mythical lists compiled by writers and fans. Chicago House Defeats Adams To Gain Finals Chicago House came from behind to take the feature game on the In- tramural card yesterday, beating Ad- ams -House, 8-6. Carl McNicholas scored the winning marker to put his team into the finals of the first-place playoffs in Residence Hall League 1 with Lloyd House. Williams House lost a tough game to Allen-Rumsey after outplaying their opponents most of the way when John Webb scored in the closing min- tues to give his mates a 6-0 victory. The win sent Allen-Rumsey into the second-place finals in League 2 with Michigan House. In the first round of the Inter- fraternity second-place playoffs Chi Psi defeated Alpha Tau Omega, 7-1, with Roger Kelley topping the scorers with three points, and Chi Phi took a 10-1 decision over Phi Beta Delta. Zeta Beta Tau moved into the second round of the third-place playoffs, licking Lambda Chi Alpha 6-4. Two of the three spots in the In- dependent touch football division's first-place playoffs were decided over the weekend. Robert Owen House downed the Wolverines, 6-0, to take the "A" League crown, and the C. and C. Packers trounced the Newman Club, 8-0, to top the "C" League, GEORGE FRANCK BILL DALEY * * ** * * BILL JOHNSON * * * One of the outstanding backfield performers in the nation, Minnesota's George Franck will cause Mich-' igan plenty of trouble at Minneapolis Saturday. Franck's amazing speed and superlative shiftiness make him a constant touchdown threat from any part of the gr idiron. Complementing Franck even as Westfall does Ha rmon, rugged Bill Daley is a hard-charging sophomore fullback who picks up plenty of yardage on his line s mashes. Co-Captain Bill Johnson, senior flankman, is one o f the big reasons for the success of the fine forward wall the Gophers have developed this year. ~ ~ ~ - - - ~ - ~ ~ ~ ~ -- - - -- - - - - - -- - * INTRA1VIURAL NOTICE Because of the election yester- day, the All-Campus Squash Tournament, originally sched- uled to open on that date, has been postponed to today. doln wirtehafter's DAILY DOUBLE il Real Home Cooking UNIVERSITY GRILL w,;" I bert Orin Crisler. Fritz coached at Minnesota for two years, 1930 and 1931. During that period his teams met Michigan twice and lost on both occasions, 7-6 and 6-0. Up till now he has been at Michigan for two years. Twice his squads -faced Min- nesota and were defeated both times, 7-6 and 20-7. Let us take up the case of back- field coach Martineau next. "Marty" was an all-American at the Gopher bailiwick. Three times he played against the Wolverines and three times he was on the losing side. In 1921, Michigan won 38-0. In 1922 the score was 16-7 and in Marti- neau's final year Minnesota was bumped off by a 10-0 score. Then Martineau came to Michi- gan in 1938 and was on the los- ing side again for the past two years. Munn is last, and no better. He played for Minnesota between 1929 and 1931 and Michigan won all three of those battles, 7-6, 7-0 and 6-0. When he turned to the Michigan cause in 1938 as line coach, Munn naturally suffered the same fate as the other two coaches in question.- Well, now I ask you frankly, is that the type of coaching staff you care to have representing the Wol- verines in Minneapolis Saturday. Get behind this move to hide away the trio. Let the rest of the Michi- gan mentors go along. They're harm- less indeed. Let Fielding Yost make the trip. The last five Michigan teams he coached outpointed the Gophers, 126 to 13. But as far as Crisler, Martineau and Munn are concerned, be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
