NEW YORK, May 12-For the first
time since the start of the season
first place in the American League
standings had a new occupant today
as the New York Yankees moved into
the commanding position by beating
the Cleveland Indians, 6-3, as the
Chicago White Sox were defeated,
3-0, by Washington.
A five-run uprising in the fifth in-
ning aided Walter Dubiel in annexing
his third triumph against one defeat
as he limited the Indians to eight
hits in the contest, curtailed to seven
innings by rain.
The New York Giants tightened
their grip on first place in the Na-

tional League standings by defeating
the world champion St. Louis Car-
dinals 6-3. Bill Voiselle, aided by
homers by Johnny Rucker and Nap
Reyes, gained his fifth straight tri-
umph of the season without a defeat.

ALTHOUGH spring football practice at mid-western Universities ha:s
 beenroutine work since the various coaching staffs must await the
influx of freshmen this summer before any definite plans of their per-
sonnel-.are definitely formulated, squads on the whole were large and enthu-
siastic at all of the schools, and Michigan's spring drills, which came to a
close last Friday, were typical of the general situation.
During the course of the six weeks of info'mal nractice held here,
the Wolverines had 60 grid aspirants for next fall's eleven. The drills
began April 2 and were handled with the view of getting some idea
of the capabilities of many of the new men on hand and inculcating
the famous Crisler system into their minds, as well as concentrating
in physical hardening of the players.
In the absence of Coach H. O. "Fritz" Crisler, who is heading an Army
Special Service group on tour in the Panama Canal Zone, line-coach Clar-
ence Munn has been in the driver's seat with Earl Martineau, back-
field coach, and Bennie Oosterbaan, end coach, giving him assistance.
Since the players worked out in track suits and football shoes, there
was no actual contact work and little could be discerned as to the reactions
of the personnel in competition. however, some of the most promising
men include Jim Folz, a fullback, who was an All-Ohio star, and is now
wn the Marines; Leonard Dovalovsky, halfback, Marine transfer from
Western Michigan; Tom Imfield, Covington, Ky., halfback; Herman
DeMare, halfback from Ann Arbor; and George Hutter, Fond Du Lac,
Wis. Completing this list are George Johnson, who operates at the
tackle post; Dick Alban, a center; and till Ryburn from Toledo, who is
try-ng out for guard.
ALBEIT the Wolverines plans will remain indefinite because of the
continual shifting of military personnel from the campus, as well as
the possible draft call of many of the candidates, it is predicted that Mich-
igan, which has been a consistent challenger for the Western Conference
crown since the day Crisler arrived here, will again be in the thick of the
fight next season. The Maize and Blue will retain enough veterans from'
last year's second-place ball club to enable Coach Crisler to build a solid
foundation as a nucleus around which his freshmen crop can be centered.
The new Michigan team will be constructed around Milan Lazetich
at tackle. A civilian, Lazetich was the outstanding lineman on last
year's team, being named as one of the three outstanding tackles in
the country by Grantland Rice and making all of the major syndicates
second-string All-American selections. He was a unanimous choice
for berths on the Big Ten and Mid-West teams. Lazetich, who is
hailed as a sure-bet for an All-American spot this year, is a near-
facsimile of Albert Wistert and Mervin Pregulman, who were main
cogs in Crisler teams of recent years.
Joe Ponsetto, an All-Conference quarterback, will be at his old post,
where his blocking, kicking and field generalship should prove a decided
. sset to the team. Other veterans include Harold Watts at center and
Jack Weisenburger at halfback, both of whom are almost certain to cop
their respective positions, while John Lintol and Cecil Friehofer, both
lettermen, will be making determined bids for tackle and guard berths,
respectively.
Joe Louis To Celebrate Birthday

'Big Three' Dominate
Detroit Mound Duties
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, May 12-The weather-
man would seem to be playing right
into the hands of the Detroit Tigers
in providing rain every other day to
force postponement of eight of De-
troit's last 18 American League base-
ball games.
The much interrupted schedule has
enabled the Tigers to hand 14 of
their first 16 starting pitching as-
signments to one orsanother of their
"big three" hurlers-Paul (Dizzy)
Trout, Hal Newhouser or Alton Ben-
ton.
Rain and a pair of open dates per-
nitted the Tigers to play just two
games this week. Postponement of
today's opener of a three-game series
with the Boston Red Sox gives Man-
ager Steve O'Neill a chance to throw
Trout and Benton against Boston in
Sunday's doubleheader. Trout, work-
ing every fourth day in spite of the
postponements, has won four games
and lost one. Benton has earned two
shutouts and given just two tallies
in registering four straight victories.

Competing in a topsy-turvy tri-
angular meet at Evanston yesterday,
Michigan's tennis squad decisively
defeated two Western Conference
foes, Minnesota and Wisconsin, 7-2
and 8-1, respectively.
Due to a lack of time, the indi-
vidual matches were cut short. A-
gainst the Wildcats, a match was
decided by a maximum of ten games.
Therefore, some contests which rea-
'hed a score of 5-5 were considered
ties. A win counted one point, a tie
one half. These unusual conditions
prevailed only in the doubles, against
the Badgers, but the singles matches
were played to only two sets.
Jinx Johnson led the Wolverine
attack, racking up two individual
victories and scoring twice again
with Gordon Nauggle in the number
two doublesnslot. Captain Roger
Lewis tied in both of his singles
matches and also was victorious in
two doubles matches, playing with
Bill Haynes in the number three
position.

CHICAGO, May 12-(AP)-A ser-
geant who won't take a postwar push-
ing-around from anybody - world
heavyweight champion Joe Louis-
tomorrow celebrates his 31st birth-
day in an Alaskan Army camp.
If the Brown Bomber were here
instead of refereeing amateur bouts
in the far northwest, he'd probably
hear a lot of pro and con as to wheth-
er his days as boxing's Mr. Big are
numbered.
A title-holder on the wrong side of

30, some claim, has a tough row to
hoe. Dissenters, however, point to
Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson
who won the heavyweight crown at
35 and 30 respectively and held it
until each was 37.
No matter how you vote, though, it
must be conceded that unless more
than three years of Army life-he en-
listed in January, 1942-have greatly
wrecked his coordination and timing,
Louis still must be rated head and
shoulders above the heavyweights now
in business.

LIGHTS, NEON and
store display, went on in
Ann Arbor following the
arrangement that V-E Day
would mark the end of the
brownout throughout the
nation. Downtown Ann Ar-
bor looked normal, al-
though most of the stores
had closed for V-E Day.
One neon sign was aglow
on State St. "It seems fun-
ny to see the light on," one
police officer said, "but
we'll get used to it in time."
Meanwhile, local and
county police reported that
the county took V-E Day
"in stride" with few traf-,
fic and other city ordinan-
ces violated.
THAT UNIVERSITY co-

jeans and flannel shirts is
the accusation made by
two male students of the

an article on "Charm Cour-

Long Awaited V-E Day
ANN ARBOR STUDENTS and townspeople received
the news of victory they waited more than five years to
hear quietly and with no outward show of emotion.
Celebration would have seemed out of place in a city
where flags still flew at half-staff in memory of a com-
mander-in-chief dead less than one month. News spread
rapidly across campus May 7th morning that German
armies had surrendered unconditionally. There was no
great shock, rumors and piecemeal surrender in other
areas of Europe had fanned hopes during the past week
that announcement of V-E Day would soon come. The
first announcement that General Eisenhower had com-
pleted negotiations for the surrender was revealed at
about 9:45 a.m. and the Michigan Daily Extras, carrying
the complete story, were on the street befoge students
came out of their ten o'clocks. Because launching of
official celebration was to await proclamation by the
heads of the three major Allied Nations, no church bells
were rung, no sirens were blown. . Students went about
their early morning business, attended classes and
studied in the study halls. In the Angell Hall smoking.
room a lone student sat reading The Daily extra. Outside
University Hall people clustered around an automobile
where a radio was giving the minute-by-minute reports.
In the Union cafeteria two Filipinos wondered whether
Russia would enter the war against Japan. The sensa-
tion of quiet excitement persisted in the League. Chew-

IT IS A WELL KNOWN
fact that anything can, and
usually does happen in the
way of weather in Ann Ar-
bor, but the climax was
SNOW on MAY 10!!! Snow
fell for the greater part of
the day but it did not stay
on the ground. It seemed
that Ann Arbor had just
"skipped" summer entirely
and entered into the fall
and winter.
"DIVORCES AFTER
THE WAR will be at the
rate of one to every four
marriages," stated Dr. Er-
nest W. Burgess, University
of Chicago sociologist. Hos-
ty and hurried-up mar-
riages during the war will
be partly responsible for
this highest divorce rate in
history. "These hasty un-
ions have not had the test
of the normal duration of
courtship and engagement
to insure the existence of
tempermental compatibil-
ity and the similarity in in-
terest, values, and ideals
