TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1946 THE MICHIG.AN DAILY PACE Tt E' Boston Cards Decide Ch ampionship in Series Final' Today if Nothing Final On Cage Post Bingham Denies That Decision Is Imminent Speculation that Bill Barclay might be named to the head basket- ball' coaching vacancy at Harvard University continued last night when the Crimson athletic director, Wil- liam J. Bingham, stated that "Har- vard was definitely on the market for a cage mentor.'' In a telephone conversation with The Daily, Bingham confirmed this fact but stated that Harvard officials had made no decision concerning the vacancy and that rumors.that the announcement would be forthcom- ing today are unfounded. Bignham declined to comment on whether Barclay was being consid- ered for the post but authoritative sources in the Michigan athletic de- partment have indicated that the Wolverine assistant basketball and football mentor is being considered for the position. Barclay has also served on the Michigan coaching staff as head golf coich since 1945 and is regarded as one of the State's top golfers. Bar- clay joined the Wolverine coaching staff in 1942.

The first penalty was charged against Michigan for offensive in- terference. Rule 7, section 5, article 4 of the Official NCAA Football Rules Book states: "During a forward pass play (whether or not the pass crosses the line of scrimmage) there shall be no interference whatsoever beyond the line of scrimmage with any player of either team who is eligible to catch the pass, except such interferences as may occur when two or more eli- gible players make a simultaneous and bona fide effort to catch or bat the ball." The rule book further states: "Illegal interference by the passing team-Loss of 15 yards from the spot of the preceding down, the play to count as a doxin." In the judg- ment of the officials Saturday a Michigan man was guilty of offensive interference. The Wolverines were, accordingly, penalized 15 yards back to the Army 26. Whether the officials' decision was correct is not the question. They were on the spot at the time of the foul and they called the play as they saw it. Motion pictures of the game do not show the play in its entirety since the camera was following the course of the ball, rather than the players. The second 15-yard penalty was assessed against Michigan for illegal use of the hands. Varsity Basketball Will Begin Practice Sessions Wednesday Ozzie Cowles, Ex-Dartmouth Mentor, Starts First Campaign as Wolverine Cage Coach Bosox Still Favored Despite Sunday Loss ST. LOUIS, Oct. 14.-UP)-What- ever happens in the seventh and de- ciding game of the World Series to- morrow, Manager Eddie Dyer's scrap- ping St. Louis Cardinals already have blasted the myth of the American League's vast post-war supremacy over the National, which was fostered mainly by the slaughter of the Na- tionals in this year's All-Star game. In battling from behind three times to deadlock the play-off, the Cards have demonstrated conclusively that they are on a par with the club that made a runaway of the American League race. In several departments, especially fielding, they have looked the superior outfit. Odds Favor Boston The odds have appeared to be far out of line from the start, and they still look very attractive for those who think the rebounding Red Birds can stop Ted Williams and Company tomorrow and wrap up their sixth World Championship in nine tries. Betting Commissioner J. J. Carroll announced today that every $10 bet on the Cards to beat big Dave (Boo) Rosy Outlook The LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14--(P) -THE winner of the Michigan- Northwestern game Saturday ver- sus the Pacific Coast Conference champion-probably UCLA-was the Jan. 1 Rose Bowl lineup pre- dicted today by a close Midwest- ern observer. "Both Michigan and Northwest- ern, undefeated Big Nine conten- ders, are in favor of the proposed Rose Bowl tieup," Fred Delano, former Michigan publicity director, told football writers at their week- ly meeting. Delano, now withwthe Detroit Pro Lions, said he was "reliably informed that the vote was at least five-to-four in favor of sending the Conference champion in the Rose Bowl." Coach Bert La Brucherie of UCLA dodged all Rose Bowl talk with the curt comment: "We're playing California this week. Commissioner. Vic. Schmidt. of the Coast Conference later said his office has received no word from the Western Conference. He re- fused to comment on Delano's pre- diction. Ferriss in the final would return $12. The same sum placed on the Sox will bring back only $7. National Leaguers Confident The Nationals, from President Ford Frick on down, were an exuberant crowd today, fully confident that Murry Dickson would duplicate the feat of Brecheen, and hamstring the Sox in the season's grand climax. Although the Cardinals admit to great respect for Ferriss, who blanked them with six hits in Boston, they feel that they have quite a pitcher themselves in the pint-sized Dickson. Both sides expect it to be a tense hurling duel. Whether the Cards ever will get to Ferriss is a question. The 25- game winner looked like he might have kept them away from the plate until sundown up in Boston. Brecheen Ready If Needed Should Dickson wobble at any time tomorrow,por should the Cards need to protect a short lead in the late innings, it is entirely possible that the Sox will have to puzzle over Bre- cheen's dipsy-doos for the third time. The diminutive lefty said today his arm did not feel tired and that he would be ready if and when Mana- ger Dyer beckoned. Never has a play-off been more greatly blessed with its weather. Day after day the sun has shone on schedule, and the air had only a slight nip one day in Boston. It didn't seem possible, but the wea- therman said tomorrow would be the same. By ARCHIE PARSONS Michigan's varsity basketball forces will begin their preparation for the winter Big Nine cage campaign this Wednesday when the whistle will be blown for the first practice session in Yost Field House. Introductions will be in order for everybody concerned, with Ozzie Cowles, the new basketball coach, gettiig his first look at a squad which, for the present, will include only three lettermen from last year's team. Cowles was appointed head cage mentor last August, coming to Michi- gan with an impressive eight-year record at Dartmouth College, where he led the Hanover Indians to seven Ivy League championships. He suc- ceeds Bennie Oosterbaan, head coach since 1938, who .was promoted to the number two slot on the football coaching staff. Returning from last season for the first training period are for- wards Bob Baker and Gordon Ros- encrans, and center Marty Fein- Former Tank Star Confined with TB Suffering from the same disease that Tom Kuzma and Julie Franks contracted, Jim Skinner, former Michigan pool star, has been a T.B. patient in the University Hospital since last summer. Skinner last swam the breaststroke for Matt Mann's crew in '41 when he took both the NCAA and AAU titles. berg. Gone from the roster are such performers as Bob Harrison, Dave Strack, Glen Selbo, John Mullaney, and Walt Kell. The end of the present football campaign will increase the list of cage veterans when Pete Elliot, a regular last year, and Bob Wiese, regular in 1943 and '44, may report for duty along with several other gridders, including Dick Rifenberg, Jack Weisenberger, Bruce Hilkene, and Len Ford. Coach Cowles is taking the long- range view towards Wolverine bas- ketball prospects this year, and is planning to build the nucleus for future Maize and Blue outfits as well as the 1947 aggregation. It is a safe bet, however, that he will be out to bring the Wolverines down to the wire in front. Recalling that last year's squad finished seventh in the Big Nine, winning six games and losing six, one can see that Cowles' job is cut, out for him. Plans have also been drawn up for the formation of a "B" team, which will have a regular schedule of games; Ohio State is already set for two of the contests. The varsity schedule includes games with every team in the Con- ference, featuring home-and-home contests with Northwestern, Min- nesota, Purdue, and Ohio State, while single games will be played against Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The regular home-and- home games with Michigan State, are scheduled, while another inter- esting home non-Conference tussle will be held with Stanford Uni- versity. For the first practice session, Cowles wishes that all guard and center candidates report at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, and forward prospects check in at 4:30. All candidates are requested to bring their own equip- ment, as regular uniforms will not be issued until after the first squad cut. Read and Use The Daily Classified lDirectory EX.-G.
