The victory string also includes sound thumpings of the Jayhawks from Kansas in their season opener, 61-0, and Nortnwestern, 20-12. If it Wyeren't for the fact that the Min- nesota win was a frightening tipoff of the Cadets' power, Michigan fol- lowers could be applauding the air- mfen's victory with happy hearts. The Seahawks won 7-6, but only after the Gophers had driven to the 1 foot line in the last two minutes of the game. A fumble at that point, recovered by the Cadets, gave Minnesota a touch of the pigskin heartbreak they Kave handed Michigan in their last two meetings by their 7-6 and 7-0 wins. Eat-Wolverine Back Next Saturday's contest will be a sort of 'unofficial. homecoming, as well as a struggle between two unde- feated squads to keep their slate clean. The Seahawks roster includes four former Wolverine players of re- cent years, Forrest Evashevski, Har- lan Fraumann, Bob Flora, and For- rest Jordan. The most famous of the quartet is Evashevski. Evvie was captain of the great 1940 club, running mate of Tom Harmon's, and one of the greatest quarterbacks and blockers of recent years. After graduation, Evvie was signed as head coach and athletic director of Hamilton College in Clin- ton, N.Y. Late last year he was ap- pointed backfield coach at Pitt, but. after Pearl Harbor he decided the Navy Air Corps was the place for him, so we find him facing his alma mater next weekend with the powerful serv- ice club. Fraumann On Squad Whitey Fraumann should be re- membered by everyone but the fresh- men as regular Wolverine end last year. Whitey was .an excellent defen- sive player and according to advance reports should see plenty of action against, his former teammates Sat- Urday. The same goes for Bob "Flops" Flora, who played as alternate first string tackle last fall. The other form- er Wolverine, Butch Jordan, was a member of the 1939 squad and a star wrestler. The Cadets' game will be home- coming in another sense for their coach Bernie Bierman, too. Bierman will always be remembered by loyal Michigan fans as the fly in the Wol- verine victory ointment for the past eight years, when he was mentor of the mighty Gophers of Minnesota. Bierman holds an eight straight vic- tory record over Michigan, and he'll -- WHITEY FRAUMANN be pointing for his ninth win, as well as for preservation of a personal rec- ord of twenty straight, seventeen with the Gophers and three with his pres- ent ball club. With such pleasant memories connected with his past trips to Ann Arbor, Bierman should be eager to come back with another powerful outfit. That power, besides being supplied by the former Michigan stars on the Cadets' squad, witl"also te rurnisned by some other recent college gridiron greats. Bierman has several of his own ex-Gophers to work with again, such as Judd Ringer at end and George Svendsen at center. Dick Fisher and Jim Langhurst, two of Ohio State's famous backs .of the past few seasons are also on the team, as well as several noteworthy contributions from Northwestern, like George Benson, fullback, Bob Swish- er, half, Bob Daly, end, and John Haman, center. By BUDBENDEL ! Daily Sports Editor I! A STORY is making the rounds these days about Bill Combs, captain of the Michigan wrestling team in 1940. It's a story which we are inclined to believe is part true and part rumor, but read it and judge for yourself. Combs is now a member of the Marine Corps, and he was down in the Solomons during all the hectice action in that region of this tumultous world. During one particularly furious battle, according to our source, Combs was set upon by an attacking party of eight Japs. He killed seven of them with his tommy-gun, but the gun jammed before he could. get the last rat of the invading party. The Jap, with bayonet fixed, rushed the unarmed Combs. But this little yellow man had never read the papers and he didn't know what he was up against. Anyway, Combs grabbed the onrushing Nipponese in an old grappling hold and tore one arm from the socket of one Japanese soldier,. Then, so the story goes, the ex-captain of the Wolverine mat- men slit one Japanese throat with one bayonet originally belonging to the recipient of the slitting process. HAT'S THE STORY. We received it from three different people, each with his own variation. It was first heard in Chicago, and evidently Combs was in some sort of battle action where he distinguished himself with admirable courage or else the tale never would have spread or have been started. It's significant, also, to know that Combs is now in a hospital in San Francisco recovering from wounds received in that same clash. What makes us believe the story is partly true is the fact that we knew Bill Combs. He was a great guy and a great competitor who would fight like all hell broken loose. We'd feel sorry for anyboty who met him hand to hand, except a Jap. A DEVIATION from war to football isn't too much to take when reading this over your breakfast table, so fellow citizens, we deviate. The let-down suffered by Michigan's grid team against Michigan State last Saturday isn't too hard to understand. The Wolverines had just played a tough opening game the week befose, a ver- tough opening game. And they a tough opening game the week before, a very tough opening game. And they may easily be the top tilt of the year anywhere in the country. As a result, they were looking behind and forward, while Michigan State was concen- trating on the task at hand. Luckily for Michigan., the Wolverines began to doa little of that themselves during the second half, and you all know what the result was. But they'll have to improve their ball-handling if they expect to whip the Seahawks here Saturday. The juggling which took place last week in victory is almost a sure bet to lead to defeat this week. The Iowa Cadets are a far better team than Michigan State, although the Spar- tans did put up a terrific battle until Michigan power wore them down to a frazzle, figuratively speaking. We have a strong hunch that Coach Fritz Crisler and his willing team will have that juggling act deleted from the show Saturday, and that will mean trouble for Lieut.-Col. Bernie Bierman's high-flying outfit. THIS LITTLE INCIDENT happened during the regular National League baseball season, and it concerns Johnny Beazley, the young Cardinal pitcher who hurled St. Louis into a world's championship this past week. The Cards were on the road and were playing the lackadaisical Pitts- burgh Pirates in Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon, with Beazley handling the mound chores for the Redbirds. It was about midsummer, just before the Cards got going on their red-hot stretch drive, and the day was a scorcher. Beazley, who always works slowly while pitching a game, was taking more time than usual between pitches. In fact the umpires had to warn him, and some 25,000 fans were yelling that he either pitch or get out. Nonetheless, young Beazley was tossing a two-hit shutout going into the eighth inning. LOUDEST OF ALL the hecklers was a youthful soldier, about Beazley's age, who was sitting directly behind the Card dugout. Every time Baz- ley would enter the dugout, this soldier would tell him off in soldierlike lan- guage for wasting so much time. But as the Redbirds came in for the top half of the eighth, the soldier's remarks became too much for even the us- ually calm and collected Beazley. He called the soldier over to the edge of the dugout and said some- thing that nobody was able to hear. To this, the soldier replied in a boom- ing voice, "Oh yeh, well, why don't you join the Army instead of leading such a soft life? We can use guys like you." Beazley bit his lip and returned to the dugout, and in the last of the eighth the punchless Pirates shelled him from the mound. The young pitcher was obviously upset by the remark, and that brings us to the purpose of relating this little episode. WE WERE JUST WONDERING if that bit of by-play had any effect upon Beazley's decision to enlist in the Marines as soon as the World Series was finished. Because, as you all must know, that's exactly what he's doing. But during his one season in major league baseball he established a record which is more than distinguished for a rookie. He won 21 games during the regular season and then pitched two victories in the Series to give the Cards the world's championship. That's good pitching for anybody, and for a rookie it's downright spectacular. ERIC ZALENSKI, Sports Night Editor Each Cardinal Gets $6,192.50 As Series Ct NEW YORK, Oct. 5- ()- Each member of the St. Louis Cardinals, 1942 World Series champions, got $6,192.50 for his five afternoons of work while each member of the New York Yankees, American League kingpins and the champions of 1941, received $3,351.76. The players share in the receipts from the first four games with 70 per cent of the pool going to the compet- ing teams on a 60-40 per cent basis. The remaining 30 per cent of the pool goes to the first division clubs in each league.. The pool this year totalled $427,- 579.41, with the 70 per cent for the two clubs $299,304.59. Of this $179,- 582.75 went to the winning Cardinals who divided their melon into 28 full shares and five one-fifth shares. Kurowski, Beaz1 As Yankees Loy (Continued from Page 6) and came home as Joe DiMaggio banged the first pitch for a single to left. Keller also hit the first pitch for a single to right, putting DiMaggio on third, and for the moment it looked like Beazley might be tottering. Man- ager Billy Southworth came out of the dugout to soothe the youngster and he fanned Gordon on four pitches, then made Dickey hit into an easy force play. Yanks Miss Chance The Yanks had their one other chance in the fifth when with one out Ruffing topped the ball between third and the pitcher's mound and beat it out for a hit. Rizzuto rapped an easy .grounder to first baseman Johnny Hopp, who tried to catch Ruffing at second and instead made a wild throw which left both run- ners safe. Then Brown fumbled an- other soft grounder by Rolfe and the bases were loaded. Southworth conferred with Beazley and after Cullenbine popped up, the little manager again halted the game to run out to the mound for another, ey Pace Cards se Championship conference with his pitcher and catcher Walker Cooper as DiMaggio strode to the plate. The result of the huddle was a success, because the Yankee Clipper grounded into a force play at third. Between that point and the ninth inning, the only Yankee to get on base was Scooter-Rizzuto, who slapped a ground single to center after two were out in the seventh. Gordon Goat Afterward the Yanks, the ex-world champions, could only say they had their chances and couldn't come through. Gordon, of course, was the fellow who had to shoulder the big- gest burden for New York's col- lapse.

Coach Ken Doherty It was a case of changing from hero to goat in one fleeting year, because the great second baseman had been the all-around star in New York's four out of five triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the last World Series but 'this year struck out seven times, including his turn in the fourth with two on base, and finally was the man who broke the Yanks' ninth-inning threat today by taking too long a lead off second. b WHY NOT GRAB THESE EXIRN V~lES r when ou buy dry cle aning?
