Burly Bill Nicholson, Chicago Cub outfield- er, drew five such ballots and wound up in third place with a point total of 181. The other first place vote went to Clyde Shoun, veteran relief hurl- er-and toward the end of the sea-s son a starter-for the Cincinnati Reds. Each of the 24 voters listed 10 play- ers in order of preference, and Mu- sial was the only man to be included on the list of every voter. In addition to his 13 votes for first place, he re- ceived six for second, one for third, two for fourth, one for sixth and one for seventh. Cincinnati led the list in number of nominations, seven Reds being named on the various lists. Brooklyn and St. Louis each had five nominees, New York and Chicago four each, and Philadelphia, Boston and Pittsburgh three each. Mickey Witek topped the Giant nominees with 21 points, Schoolboy Rowe led the Philadelphia players with 18 points and Al Javery topped the Boston players with 12 points. - Musial, 22 and playing his second full season with the Cardinals, bat- ted .357 to lead his nearest rival, Billy Herman, by 26 points. He came up near the close of the 1941 season and batted a sensational .426 in 12 games. 'In 1942 he hit .315 in 140 games. I 0 Wolverines Prepare for Hoosier Star New Varsity Lineup Goes Through Stiff Pass Defense Drill Instead of the usual mysterious Mr. X, Michigan's football team is hear- ing plenty about the well Known Mr. H as it prepares for its clash with In- diana here Saturday. The well known Mr. H is Bobby Hoerschemeyer, the Hoosier's triple- threat freshman halfback. The Wol- verines are too busy building up a de- fense against Mr. H to take the time to pronounce his name every time they wish to refer to him, and they refer to him plenty. Mr. H can run and pass well enough to be listed up among the na- tion's leading ground gainers, but it's his passing that worries the Wolver- ines most. So far this season he's completed 49 out of 110 attempts for a total of 949 yards, and it was his second pass last Saturday that turned back Ohio State. So in today's practice sessions U. of M. once again stressed pass de- fense. End Coach Benny Oosterbaan, best known as an All-American pass- snatching end but who often dropped out of the line to pass in his senior year at Michigan, and George Welch, a third string halfback, took turns tossing the pigskin to the reserves against the varsity's new lineup. As expected, Coach Fritz Crisler switched Bob Wiese back to his old spot at fullback while alternating Joe Ponsetto and Jim Aliber at quarter- back, to fill in for the departed Bill Daley. Wally Dreyer and Earl Maves took turns at the right halfback po- sition that both had played in the Illinois game. Big Bob Derleth, a letterwinner last year, will be called upon to fill the tremendous shoes of Merv Pre- gulman. Derleth saw action against both Minnesota and the Illini, but in both games Pregulman was there to spell off Fred Negus, or to go in just in case the enemy began rolling. And Bob Hanzlik and Rex Wells will try to make up for the loss of Pregulman's educated toe, the toe that booted 21 out of 24 tries through the uprights. IRISH STILL AT THE TOP: Michigan Jumps to Sixth in Gridiron Poll NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-(P)-Foot-I ball results so far this season have. given the gridiron experts a pretty clear idea of where -most of the power is to be found. And in this week's Associated Press ranking poll they summed it up in two words: "Notre Dame." The Irish, triumphant over Navy, 33-6, last Saturday, not only re- tained their place at the top of the ranking list but they received the first place votes of 97 of 101 partici- pants for a total of 1,005 points. Purdue, victorious in seven straight games, mostly by one-sided scores, shaded Army and Southern Califor- nia in a close contest for second place. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Navy, Iowa Pre-Flight, Duke and the Col- lege of the Pacific, in that order, completed the first ten. What the rankings failed to give, however, was a picture of where the teams may stand in another week. With Notre Dame losing Angelo Bertelli, Purdue losing Tony Butko- vich and Michigan losing Bill Daley through Marine-Navy transfers and most of the other leading clubs suf- fering as well, there is a prospect of more than one upset next Saturday. Notre Dame plays its big game of the season this week against Army in New York and the Cadets always give one of their best performances against the Irish. Army dropped from second place in the rankings to third after its 13-13 tie with Penn, but by only a small margin-695 points to Purdue's 726. In addition, Army and* Navy are the only "first ten" teams unaffected by midseason transfers. Purdue faces battered Minnesota this week and Southern California, which divided the four left-over first place vptes with Penn, meets the San Diego Naval Training Station. Penn encounters Navy in a game that may afford the Midshipmen, who dropped from third place to seventh, a chance to regain some lost territory. Michigan is busy rebuilding and "fearing" Indiana's civilian team. Iowa Pre-Flight has a Sunday game against Marquette and Duke, which conquered Georgia Tech despite the loss of a flock of Navy trainees, plays the weak North Carolina State outfit. College of the Pacific meets under- manned St. Mary's. The leading teams, counting 10 points for first place vote, nine for second, etc. (First place votes in parentheses): Stagg Loses Five Veterans From Best Pacific Team STOCKTON, CALIF., Nov 2-(P)- Amos Alonzo Stagg's great College of the Pacific football team, which com- pared favorably with any in his 54 years of coaching, was practically broken up today. Eleven players were enroute to Parris Island, S. C., transferred there for additional training in the U.S. Marine Corps. Five were regular starters, including tailback John Po- desto, pass throwing ace and field general. DiMancheff New Star Notre Dame (97) ..........11 Purdue .................... .
