Wildcats Rough Northwstern's Wildcats ignored in the summer book, have brushed asid Iowa State and Wisconsin in impressive style and should make it three straight against the visiting Gophers, who were pasted 21-0 by In- diana last Saturday. Coach Lynn Waldorf lost a stellar guard this week when Ray Justak quit the Wildcats to concentrate on his law books, but Vic Schwall and Frank Aschenbrenner give North- westrn power Minnesota apparently cannot match. The Illini, with quarterback Perry Moss" versatility offsetting the inabil- ity of Buddy Young to get rolling, are one touchdown favorites over the host Hoosiers. Bo McMillin's defend- ing champions, however, flashed some trick spread stuff at Minne- sota last week and his "Pore li'l boys may be hard to handle. Buckeyes Favorites The Buckeyes are favored over the Badgers mainly because the come- back triumph over Southern Cali- fornia, 21-0. Ohio State's Tommy James and Joe Whisler provide a one-two offensive punch which may overpower a Badger line weakened by injury of star guard Ken Currier. Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, win- ners over Illinois and 'Pittsburgh, should more or less toy with a Pur- due team hamstrung by backfield in- juries. Illinois, a 43-7 conqueror of Purdue last Saturday, was humbled by Notre Dame, 26-6, the, previous Saturday. Iowa, inspired by its ability to hold Michigan to a 14-7 victory, is rated four touchdowns better than Ne- braska. Other major midwestern clashes end Mississippi State to Michigan State and Idaho to Marquette at Mil- waukee.

Michigan's line, led by Irv Wisniewski, Frank Keiser, the ends, and Lloyd Heneveld, left guard, broke into the Indiana backfield re- peatedly to hamstring the Hoosier running attack. The biggest thrill of the afternoon for Wolverine fans came on the kick- off starting the second half. Alan Traugott fielded a long low kick on the first hop raced up the middle, found a hole and was away to the Indiana 45 where the safety man nailed him. On the next play Michi- gan, taking up where it left off in the first half, fumbled. Don Kuick's long distance punting kept the ball in Indiana territory for most of the first half. Several of his kicks just missed hitting the coffin corner. Howard Pollet Lost for Series BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 1 l-(A )--The St. Louis Cardinals will have to win the World Series without any fur- ther help from their southpaw ace Howard Pollet.j The slender youngster with the heart of an iron man is through for this year. He learned that definitely today when he failed to last an inn- ing against the Red Sox in the fifth World Series game. Before the game Pollet said there was little improvement in his arm, despite daily treatment by trainer Doc Weaver intpreparation for to- day's contest. "I'm still in pain," he said, "and it increases every time I stretch to deliver a pitch. I'm going to try it this afternoon but if I'm not suc- cessful the skipper (Managr Dyer) will get me out of there quickly." Pollet went in to pitch without the taping he wore in the series opener. But rest appears to be the only treat- ment for the strained side and shoul- der muscles which have bothered him for more than a month. Students sitting in Section 28- 35 are requested to be in their seats by 1 p.m. to facilitate the cheerleaders in making a block M in the stands. Hold Your Bonds Eight cheereaders will again be out on the field this afternoon to lead the yells against the Cadets, but a slight shift in personnel will be ob- served, as faculty adviser, Newton Lokan, will join the ranks of his un- derstudies in order that an even num- ber can be maintained. Lokan, who conducts classes at Waterman Gym as a member of the Physical Education Department, re- places Tom Tillman, who will be un- able to appear anymore this season. Something new in the way of pre- game entertainment will be seen, as the cheerleaders, together with the Pep Club have been making plans to form a huge block M in the student section of the stands, through the use of 1,500 yellow and blue streamers. Members of the Pep Club have asked that students keep the color given to them, stay in the same seat, and watch the cheerleaders for in- structions. The blue M op a yellow background will be formed immedi- ately after the Cadets finish their pa- rade, which is scheduled to start at 1:10 p.m. Some 10,000 printed sheets, con- taining the yells and songs are also to be distributed throughout sections 24 to 35 in order that the students will be better able to join in when the band or cheerleaders swing into ac- tion. Read and Use The Daily Classified Directory By The Associated Press BOSTON, Oct. ll-(P)-Joe Dob- son, a poor but honest relation of Boston's pitching peeraige, twirled himself a spectacular four-hit, eight- strikeout game today to halt the Car- dinals, 6 to 3, and send the Red Sox flying back to St. Louis needing only one more victory to wrap up the World Series. The big moon-faced righthander, a last-hour choice of manager Joe Cronin to pitch today's vital contest, fairly covered himself with baseball glory. He did not permit a single earned run, all three St. Louis scores crossing the plate as an outgrowth of errors in the second and ninth in- nings by shortstop Johnny Pesky. Pollet Pitches To Four Sox Howie Pollet, the victim of York's 10th-inning four-bagger in the open- er at St. Louis, pitched to only four Red Sox before manager Eddie Dyer brought out Alpha Brazle. The trim little lefty obviously didn't have a thing today. Don Gutteridge, who played second for the Sox in place of Bobby Doerr, who still was suffering with the head- ache which forced him to quit yes- terday's game in the last inning, greeted Pollet with a sharp single through second base, and Pesky fol- lowed with a liner into right. Dom DiMaggio' rapped into a force- out, but Williams, braving the Cards' "overbalanced" line-up in right, came through handsomely with a sock over Red Schoendienst that scored Pesky, and that was a day's work for Pol- let. Culberson Hits Homer Brazle from that point on pitched splendid ball, almost matching Dob- son. He gave up another score in the second as the Sox went ahead 2-1, but it was a score that the Cards pro- tested bitterly, and until Culberson led off the sixth with a rather cheap homer over the short left field fence, the Cardinal southpaw was in full control. The Cards had tied it up at 1-1 in the second on Pesky's first error with two down, which was followed by Harry Walker's screaming double down the left field line. It looked as though St. Louis might remain very much in the ball game, despite Pol- let's disappointing start. Boston Wins in Seventh. Roy Partee, Sox relief catcher, led off the second with a rap into center. Dobson laid down a bunt and both runners were safe on Whitey Kurow- ski's throw to second. Gutteridge came through with his second straight single, a hot shot to center- field, which scored Partee on a very close plAy at the plate. Leon Culberson's homer in the sixth made it 3-1, and the Sox sewed it up in the next with a three-run splurge on doubles by DiMaggio and Pinky Higgins, { PAUL WHITE-A hard runner from the right half back slot, Michi- gan's 1943 captain will try to rip through Army's front line of defense today. MICHIGAN FIXTURE - * * * Whizzer' White Proves To Be A .Real Asset in The Backfield By BEV BUSSEY Before the season opener with Indiana, the most perplexing question of the average sports enthusiast was who would receive the starting assign- ments at the various positions, except right half, where Paul White seemed to be the obvious answer. After a two and a half year hitch with the Marines at Parris Island and in the Southwest Pacific, White returned this fall to take over the post that he vacated in '43 after the Minnesota game which was fifth on the sched- ule. As captain of the Wolverines that season, he led the squad to four vic- tories and a lone defeat at the hands of Notre Dame before entering service. With an all-state reputation inv football and basketball following him from River Rouge High School, White ootb l. .. was considered a promising player on the freshman aggregation.

I I 4 S L J 1 4 White's fame as a rugged runner was earned during the '42 session, and with quarterback George Ceit- haml calling on him for a few left- handed passes, White became one of the main cogs in Crisler's football machine. All-around Athlete With respect for another renowned football star, his teammates dubbed him "Whizzer," and he proved that he really was a whiz by leading the rest of the squad in scoring with 48 points. At the end of -the season Paul was elected captain of the '43 squad. Although newspaper writers haven't used reams of copy extolling White's merits, his dependable offen- sive play and rugged defensive service mark him as one of the mainstays of the Maize and Blue team this year. Poole, who has replaced the grad- uated Dick Pitzer at the ,other end, was another thorn in the Michigan side last fall with his pass-catching and defensive play. The tackles have provided a big problem for Blaik and his assistants but the Army mentor thinks he has solved the question with a couple of 200-pounders, Goble Bryant and Shelton Biles. Bryant is a transfer from Texas A & M where he was an ex-team captain while Biles, a re- serve last fall, was moved over from guard to fill the tackle vacancy and has shown up well. Again the Maize and Blue starting line-up will depend on whether the Wolverines receive or kick off. If Michigan kicks off, Crisler will prob- ably start Bob Weise in place of Howie Yerges at quarter.
