Tigers Defeat
White Sox in
Exh pto 5-3
Rudy York Pounds Out
Homer; Trout, Two
Rookies Look Good
EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 25.-
(P)-The Detroit Tigers opened the
spring exhibition game schedule by
thumping the Chicago White Sox
today, 5 to 3, in a style that was
familiar even if most of the charac-
ters in the lineup were strange.
For big Rudy York, the homerun
man of other years, slugged out one
four-bagger and was credited with
a double to make a resounding 1944
debut and put a sparkle in Manager
Steve O'Neill's eye.
In addition to York's performance,
the Tigers also received encourage-
ment for the new American League
season from the stunts of Paul (Diz-
zy) Trout, veteran pitcher, and two
rookies, Jim Hresko and Bill Kasp-
chuk.
The trio of righthanders held Chi-
cago to four hits, compared to nine
for the Tigers, and it was pretty
much Detroit's show. Trout pitched
hitless ball for his three innings. Two
men walked and a third was safe on
an error, but none passed first base.
York opened a three-run rally in
the second with his double,"a gift to
some extent, and put the Tigers into
a safe lead by lining a homer to cen-
ter for two more runs in the third.
Falling when trying to field York's
blow to left, Johnny Dickshot per-
mitted Rudy the double in the sec-
ond. A fielder's choice sent Rudy to
third and he scored on a fly by Eddie
Borom. Al Wittmar, 16-year-old
right-hander who started for Chi-
cago, then passed Zeb Eaton and
Bob Swift and permitted singles by
Trout and Chuck Hostetler for two
more scores.'
Hresko, who is 17 and has only an
American Legion baseball reputation,
gave oie hit and a run in three inn-
ings. The Flint, Mich., youngster
might have gotten by even better but
he threw wild on a double play ball
after Leroy Schalk's scratch hit in
the fifth. A fly scored the runner.
Don Yohe's triple after a walk and
a single scored Chicago's last runs in
the seventh -off Kasepchuk.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 25.-
()-For the second timein a week,
Alan Ford, Yale's great swimmer,
raced the 100-yeard free style in
world's record time of 49.7 seconds
tonight as he became the National
Collegiate A.A.'s first triple cham-
pion since 1936.
The performance of the 20-year
old rusty haired rocket from Balboa,
Canal Zone, won him the American
Swimming Coaches Association's
award as the best college swimmer of
the year and sparked Yale to the
team crown after a hard fought bat-
tle with the University of Michigan,
39 to 38 points.
Ford, the Balboa bullet, won his
Dodds Suffers
Sprained Ankle
CLEVELAND, March 25.--(P)-Gil
Dodds, whose fleet legs have made
track history, swathed a swollen left
ankle in hot towels today.
"I feel okay today-except for a
sprained ankle."
Thus, the Boston Divinity student
spoke casually of possibly the finest
under-pinning in the track world.
Only last night he failed in an
avowed attempt to betted the world's
indoor two-mile record of 8 minutes
51 seconds established by Greg Rice.
Dodds easily won the two-mile at
the annual Knights of Columbus
Track Meet here but missed Rice's
mark by 14.3 seconds.
Today he concluded he sprained
the ankle in stepping from the wood-
en track on a turn early in the race.
"I didn't realize I sprained the
ankle," he said in a telephone inter-
view, "until I reached my father's
home. It didn't tighten up until after
the meet. I knew definitely it was
sprained when I got up today.
The distance ace, who twice bet-
tered the world's mile record in the
last two week-ends, said he has no
contests immediately in sight.
specialty by nearly six yards, with
Mert Church of Michigan providing
what opposition there was. The Elis'
ace was off with the gun, picked up a
yard at the 25-yard turn, doubled it
at the halfway mark and high pres-
sured the final lap.
By winning the century, 50-yard
free style and 150-yard backstroke-
the latter two last night-Yale's phe-
nom equalled the "triple" scored by
Jack Medica of the University of
Washington in 1936 and by Al
Schwartz of Northwestern in 1930.
Earlier today, Ford breezed in the
victor in the 100-yard free style trials
in 0:51.2, which was a new N.C.A.A.
standard, but pales compared with
tonight's spectacular feat.
In a thrilling renewal of their pre-
vious night's battle, Keo Nakama,
Ohio State's captain from Hawaii,
nabbed the 440-yard free style by a
touch from Gene Rogers, six foot
two-inch Columbia Navy trainee in
4:47, successfully defending the title,
his second of the meet. Nakama won
the 1500-meter yesterday.
Carl Paulson of Brown, one of the
east's aces in his specialty, annexed
the 200-yard breast stroke in 2:28.3,
by four feet over Norman Zheutlin of
Princeton.
Charley Batterman, an apprentice
seaman Navy V-12 at Columbia, and
formerly of Ohio State, joined Naka-
ma as a double victor by adding the
three-meter title to his one-meter
crown. His total of 138.56 points eas-
ily was tops,
Then, with Yale leading Michigan
in the team fight, 33 to 28, going into
the 400-yard relay, the Elis managed
to squeeze out a third place for six
points as the Wolverines led the U.S.
Military Academy across the finish
by eight yards. Michigan's quartet
of Mert Church, Charles Fries, Bill
Kogen and Gorden Pulford was
timed in 3:35.
The final team standings: Yale,
39; Michigan, 38; U.S. Naval Acad-
emy, and Ohio State, last year's
champions, 24 each; Columbia, 22;

DETROIT, March 25.--YP)-Short
on defensive strength for the third.
game ofktheir first round Stanley
Cup lhockey playoffs tomorrow at
Chicago, the Detroit Red Wings set
out for the Windy City today, still
confident of emerging with no worse
than an even break .in two clashes at
Chicago Stadium, where they failed
to win all season.
Blond Bill Quackenbush, steady
defenseman, was left at home to rest
an ailing knee and Cully Simon, an-
other Detroit defensive cog, was
limping from a foot injury as the
Wings boarded their train.
With Quackenbush definitely out
of the Sunday game and Simon
likely to see little action, Detroit was
left with only two defensemen-Bill
(Flash) Hollett and Hal Jackson-
who are ready for heavy duty.
Thursday's comeback 4 to 1 tri-
umph restored the Wings' wavering
self-confidence after Chicago whack-
ed out a 2 to 1 triumph in the playoff
opener to become the only National
League Club besides champion Mon-
treal to win from Detroit at Olympia
this season.
The playoff stood all-square going
into games tomorrow and Tuesday
at Chicago. The clubs return here
Thursday.
The winner will meet the survivor
of the Montreal-Toronto duel in the
cup finals.
The Red Wings, defending playoff
champions, who finished second to
Montreal in the regular league chase,
placed two Chicagoans on an all-
opponents team selected today by
vote of the players.

For Starting.
By JOAN LINDSAY
Bob Wiese, regular outfielder on.
last year's varsity nine and captain-
elect of the 1944 football team is
pointing toward a pitcher's robe on
this season's edition of the diamond
squad.
Playing two years of varsity bas-
ketball and two of football, this is
Wiese's second year on the varsity
ball club.
Bob started last year working out
as a pitcher, but was hit by a fast
ball before the regular season ever
started and was forced to confine his
very excellent efforts to the left field
position. This season he is again one
of Ray Fisher's leading candidates
for the mound staff. Coach Fisher
says "Bob has a good fast ball and
better than average control. Because
he was out for basketball he is a bit
behind the squad but he will no doubt
be one of the leading contenders for
the pitching staff."
Trouble at Plate
Wiese sharedhonors admirably in
the outfield last season with Paul
White and Don Lund, but had his
chief trouble at the plate. Therefore,
along with plenty of pitching practice
he has been doing some serious work
on his hitting.
21-year-old Bob participated in
four sports in high school in James-
town, North Dakota. Although he
didn't play baseball, he won letters
in basketball, football, tennis and
track. He was named All State full-
back on the Associated Press team
and won the Rotary state singles
championship in tennis.
Bob got his baseball experience
Pitcher's Role
playing on amateur teams during the
summer. His team won the North
Dakota state amateur baseball title
in 1941. During the summers while
he has been attending Michigan
Wiese played amateur ball in Flint
where he was employed by the Buick
plant.
Likes Football
Bob's great love is football and he
says, "the most thrilling thing that
ever happened to me was being elect-
ed captain of, the football team. I
like all sports though, and as long as
it is a good, clean game, it's tops with
me!"
When it comes to baseball, "Bullet
Bob" has always wanted to be a
pitcher because he feels that a hurl-
er gets into the game more. Despite
the fact that the pitching position is
ace high in the versatile athlete's
book, he rates outfielder Joe DiMag-
gio as his favorite ballplayer. "Out
where I come from," commeinted Bob
with a smile, "nobody ever heard of
the Tigers. We are all Yankee fans.
Ever since I can remember they have
been my favorites."
Wiese, a member of the V-12 unit
stationed on campus, is a senior me-
chanical engineering student and will
graduate this November. He is a
member of Sigma Nu fraternity, Tri-
angles, and Michigamua.
DURHAM, N.C., March 25.-(p)-
Craig Wood, hot after his first in-I
dividual tournament victory since
1941, the year he won the National
Open, shot his second straight 67 to-
day to lead the field after 36 holes,
of the 72-hole Durham Open.
The blond veteran, pro at the
Winged Foot Club, Mamaroneck, N. I
Y., put together a five under par 32
on the first nine and even par 35
on the back stretch as he bid for
$1,000 first money in the $5,000 event
with a half mark score of 134.
Nelson Is Favorite
Hard on his heels one stroke back
were two other seasoned campaign-
ers, Byron Nelson of Toledo, the pre-
tourney favorite who added a 67 to
his opening 68 for a 135 total and
Jimmy Hines of Amesterdam, N. Y.,
leader with Wood yesterday, who had
67-68-135.
The three vets had things to them-
selves, at least six strokes ahead of
the rest of the field, but Harold (Jug)
McSpaden, the leading money win-
ner of the winter tour, sounded a
warning he might have to be con-
tended with by knocking out a three-
under par 69 to move from tenth
place to a tie for fourth at 141.
Players Deadlocked
Deadlocked with McSpaden were
Johnny Bulla, the commercial air-
line pilot from Atlanta, Ga., who
learned to play on courses in this
neighborhood, and little Tony Penna
of Dayton, O. All had identical
scores of 72-69-141.
Wood had five birdies and no bo- -

third, "People are just go-
