The practice session was No Four-Game Series The experts were in virtually unan- imous agreement that the series, would .go from five to seven games, ending the string of straight-game sweeps the Yankees piled up in over- whelming the Chicago Cubs ,in 1938 and the Cincinnati Reds in 1939. But there was the same unanimity of opinion that the Yankees would win in .whatever distance was re- quired. Conceding the Dodgers may have a small advantage in the pitch- ing, due to a compact staff, most ob- servers fixed their ieye on the super- ior fielding of the Yankees and their ability to blast out extra-base blows, especially home runs. Batting Strength Even The Yankees have no edge in per- centage batting-the Dodgers having three .300 hitters to New York's two, although Charley Keller is almost in this class with a .28-but they have three outfielders each of whom has collected 30 or more home runs and they have an infield that this year tied the major league record for double plays. Besides they have a club that is seasoned to the heavy strain of a World Series, with a whole' raft of veterans who have made the Yankees virtually untouchable in the post- season classics with four consecutive world championships up to last year.

Then when the pros obtained pos- session of the ball, in shot Luckman, and the Bears would begin to march. CARRIED to its logical extremes, this new unlimited substitution provision would allow a coach who was bold enough to analyze the of- fensive and defensive talents of his. squad members, sift them according- ly, and employ two units: team A would be used exclusively for of- fense, team B only on defense. Of course a certain few of the squad personnel would be most proficient in both phases of football. Thus, they would see action on both units. But last week Athletic Director Fritz Crisler, who is president of the American Football Coaches As- sociation, sent out a letter to more than 400 other mentors, suggest- ing four means by which his fellow,1 tutors of the game could make the rule work. Fritz urged application of the rule permitting only 25 sec- onds for the offensive team to get its play under way even when sub- stitutions were being made. If the spirit of the new rule is, respected, he said, it will benefit the game, players, coaches and spectators. Last Saturday's grid battle bore him out 100 per cent.

MASTER OF UNDERSTATE- MENT DEPARTMENT: In the press box information booklet put out for the convenience of the scribes by publicity director Fred DeLano, it is requested: "Will persons in the front row kindly refrain from drop- ping ashes over the front of the press box? They don't like it down below." Big news of the day on the foot- ball front is the happy information that Paul White will definitely be! able to play against Iowa Saturday. Paul's shoulder injury, which was! feared to be a bone separation, turned{ out to be a contusion of the muscles beneath the clavicle instead, a less, serious ailment which the prolonged heat treatments he is now taking will I : remedy within one or two days. Meanwhile, Al Wistert and Bob Kolesar are nursing minor injuries and taking things easy in the matter of. heavy scrimmage. Wistert is fav-' oring a slight strain in his back, and Kolesar spends his spare time with a heat .lamp on a touchy shoulder in order to iron out the dents sustained in last Saturday's fray. Yesterday the Varsity squad de-1 then finished off with a live scrim- mage calculated to polish off the the rough edges in the Wolverine offense which Fritz Crisler noted in the Spartan clash.
