O neGridiron
Game in Fall,
EAST LANSING, April 14.-()-
Michigan State College, still beating
the bushes for football players after
a year's absence from the sport, is
sure of at least one gridiron game
next fall.
Athletic Director Ralph H. Young
reported today he had agreed formal-
ly to a game, previously tentative,

finish in first place during any one of
on two occasions.
In 1937 the Hawks finished 304K'
points (two points being given for
a win, one for a tie) behind Boston,
and then the Chicago team went
on to win the Stanley Cup in the
playoffs. In the 1929-30 season
the Bruins had a terrific team, los-
ing only five and tieing one out of
44 games. Montreal, who had lost
16 tilts and tied five, defeated Bos-
ton in two straight games in the
cup series (in those days the Stan-
ley Cup was decided by the winner
of two-out-of-three games).
Another strange occurence hap-
pened in 1933. Boston and Detroit
tied for the pennant, but neither
the 14 seasons, captured the trophy
were in the 'final series. Toronto
and the Rangers won the first set
of games, and then the two clubs
met in the finals with New York
coming out on top.
Detroit has finished first four
times, and taken the cup three
times, so the Red Wings have the
honor of being the club to ~finish in
first place and take the cup in the
same year three out of the five
times that it has happened. Tor-
onto has won the pennant twice,
and in two other years garnered
the Stanley Cup, for another un-
usual record.
STRANGER STILL, is the fact that from 1938 to 1942, seven teams (last
year the Rangers dropped out of the league) played all season to elim-
inate one club. The top six then entered the playoff brackets to determine
the winner of Lord Stanley's famous trophy. Some irate fan went so far
as to say that the National Hockey.League should drop the "1" from play-
off, and the "b" from brackets, making the Stanley Cup games the pay-off
rackets.
The reason advanced for the fact that only five times have pennant
winners won the cup, is that in a short series a team will not play its -usual
brand of hockey, for there is too much at stake, consequently it places the
emphasis on defense, plays cautiously and hopes for'the best.
Who's Who
ONE of the strangest sports tales we have heard for some time oc-
curred "somewhere in the South Pacific" involving two Marines in a
boxing match. The two Marines, Harvey and Moe Weiss, are identical
twins, who not only look exactly alike, but wore the same kind of trunks
and fought in the 'same style. To further complicate matters, twins
were in their corners acting as seconds. When the fighters changed
corners at the end of the second round (at least they said they changed),
even their handlers could not tell them apart.
We imagine that the referee and judges were rather perturbed for a
while, but being typical Marines who overcome all obstacles, the judges
finally came up with a decision when they were tipped off that the boxers
had switched corners. The servicemen in the audience, as baffled as the
officials, cheered long and loud when the announcer came forth with,
"the winnah-Weiss," and pointed to both corners at the same time.

The following inning Cramer was
on third after hitting a triple, and
this time York hammered the ball
over the left field fence just inside
the foul line for a 325-foot drive.
Detroit got nine hits for 20 bases
off Roe, who became the first Pitts-
burgh pitcher to go the distance this
spring. Meanwhile, Johnny Gorsica
and Frank (Stub) Overmire spaced
seven hits, each allowing a run. Gor-
sica yielded four hits in five innings,
and Overmire gave up three hits in
the last four frames.
The Tigers tied it up in the second.
York singled to left and took an ex-
tra base on Frank Colman's error,
and Pinky Higgins got his fourth hit
in five tries this spring by singling to
center, scoring York.
Roe, who yielded four runs in four
innings against the Tigers last Sun-
day, retired the side in order in the
next four frames. However, in the
seventh Cramer was safe on Gustine's
error and York homered. Jimmy Out-
law then tripled and went all the way
around when Vince DiMaggio made a
poor throw for an error.
Don Heffner doubled with one out
in the eighth and scored on Cramer's
triple. York then applied the bat to
Roe's curve ball for another homer,
his fourth of the training season.
Pittsburgh scored its last run with
two out in the ninth when Babe
Dahlgren doubled and Harry Amato
singled him home.

Widdoes Named
Bouckeye Coach
COLUMBUS, O.,
April 14.-(IP)-
Carroll Widdoes completed today a
three-year climb from an assistant
high school football coach to mentor
of one of the nation's largest colleges
-Ohio State,
Widdoes, 41-year-old son of mis-
sionary parents who still'are in the
Japanese-occupied Philippine Islands,
was named to guide the Bucks while
Lieut. (j.g.) Paul Brown is in the
Navy.
The new coach is the last of four
who came to Ohio State from Mas-
sillon in 1941 at a time the Buck
gridiron fortunes were at a low ebb
and skyrocketed the Ohioans into the
nation's top-ranking team in just
two seasons. Wartime calls to serv-
ice, however, wiped out what had
beendescribed as the most promising
squad in history and last year's team,
consisting of 17-year-olds and 4-F's
won only three of nine games.
Widdoes said the three other mem-
bers of the Ohio State staff would
continue on their present assign-
mentt-Paul Bixler, coaching the
ends; Fritz Mackey, the tackles, and
Ernie Godfrey, the guards and cent-
ers. Widdoes will handle the backs'
in addition to his supervisory duties.
Alan on Chicago ieam
CHICAGO, April 14.-( )- Phil
Cavaretta, regarded by his Chicago
fans as the most underrated player
in baseball, appears headed for his
due recognition this season.
Starting his tenth year with the
Cubs, the fiery, intense Italian lad is
dean of the squad at the age of 26.
This old-timer status passed to him
when Stan Hack, an 11-year veteran,
retired from the game this year to
renain on his Oregon ranch.
"It's a cinch that Cavaretta will
have his most important season with
the Cubs, no matter how he hits,"
says Manager Jimmy Wilson. "He's
our steady man in the infield."
The nearest approach to a .300
batting mark Cavaretta has had was
his .291 last year.
Young was reported having diffi-
culty in finding open dates for the
Spartans' resumption of athletics,
ordered after most teams have com-
pleted their schedules. Michigan
State's football play is contingent onj
meeting teams with no Army or Na-
vy players.
