In this crucial period of the Wolverines schedule, Coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan and his squad will tangle with the powerhouses of the Big Nine, Minnesota, Purdue and Northwestern. BY TAKING TWO of these games, Michigan can place itself on the inside track for the rest of the season and let the other con- tenders eliminate themselves. The first of the big three is Pur- due. The Boilermakers have al- ready suffered two defeats, one a heartbreaking single point loss to Notre Dame, and the other to a surging Northwestern eleven. Purdue, coached by Army's ex- line coach Stu Holcomb is ex- pected to be up for their game with the Wolverines and will throw its "T" attack paced by quarterback Harry Szulborski and passer Bob DeMoss. * * * - BOB HECK and Clyde Grimen- stein, veteran of Army's powerful 1945 team, will hold down end po- sitions on a line bolstered by all Big Nine tackle Phil O'Reilly and Pete Barbolack. The Wolverines will start a team that has come forth with a strong defense under pressure, and will be out to run up their third victory in as many meetings against the Boilermakers. MICHIGAN WILL still be without the services of Gene Der- ricotte who participated in prac- tice for the first time yesterday. Bennie Oosterbaan sent his charges through a stiff passing workout yesterday in preparation for Saturday's game. Walt Teninga and Chuck Ort- man drew the heavy tossing as- signments as they consistently hit ends Dick Rifenburg and Ozzie Clark in the two hour session. * * * THE WOLVERINES also worked on pass defense in order to elimi- nate some of the difficulties that enabled Norm Van Brocklin of Oregon to set an almost perfect passing record against Michigan last Saturday. Under the direction of Ooster- baan and his assistants, the Michi- gan squad finished their workout by breaking into four units for sig- nal drills. TOMMY HOLMES . delivers game-winning single I-M News With two leagues of five teams and two other leagues of four, the residence halls are fighting their way through the I-M football schedule.

Last year's champion Harry Goldberg is no longer on cam- pus but runner-up James Al- bert is and will compete. Nine four-team leagues began Inter-fraternity touch football competition nearly a week and a half ago. Sigma Alpha .Epsilon won 6-0 over Sigma Nu and 20-6 over Alpha Sigma Phi. Thet Chi kept marks with the SAE's by defeating Sigma Nu 20-0 and Alpha Sigma Phi 15-0. In League H Sigma Phi Ep- silon and Chi Phi share top honors with a won one and lost none box score. Trigon has one and one for a .500 average, their only loss being a 29-0 crushing by the Sig. Eps. Kappa Sigma sustained twin 6-0 defeats by Chi Phi and Trigon. Sigma Chi and Alpha Phi Alpha share perfect records and the lead of League III. Sigma Chi has de- feated Phi Kappa Tau 13-0 and Alpha manhandled Theta Delta Chi 27-0 and knocked off Phi Kappa Tau 12-0. Phi Kappa Psi holds at least a game lead on the two nearest competitors, Phi Gamma Delta and Psi Upsilon. In League IV, defeating the two teams 31-0, 7-6 respectively. Triangle lost to Phi Gam 12-6 and to Psi U. 7-0. Only one round of games had been played in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth leagues until yesterday afternoon. Lambda Chi Alpha's filure un- der Phi Kappa Sigma 18-6 and the Beta Theta Pi's 14-0 victory over Delta Kappa Epsilon had' given both the Betas and the Phi Sigs a chance for the League V championship. Alpha Delta Phi shook off Phi Sigma Kappa 12-0 to tie with Chi Psi, as Delta Tau Delta took a 20-0 drubbing from them to join the Phi Sigs in the League VI cellar. Michigan's intran-mural track season will get under way this afternoon at 4:30 when the fra- ternity meet is held at Ferry Field under the direction of El- mer Swanson, assistant track coach. Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and Chi Psi are expected to fight it out for the championship. Phi Delta Theta and Delta Up- silon have the only perfect win records in League IX: Phi Delt over Zeta Psi 7-0, DU over Sigma Phi 6-0. The Sigma Phi game with DU ended in a scoreless tie and was decided as each team took the ball for four post-game plays. Un- der I-M rules whichever team makes the most yardage gets credit for the win. (Continued from Page 1) 'With the big run under his belt, Sain didn't give the Indians a chance to fight back in the ninth. After Boudreau and Joe Gordon flied out to open the frame, Cleveland got a brief life when Elliott took Ken Keltner's roller and threw high over Earl Torgeson's head at first base. With Keltner on second a sin- gle could have sent the battle into extra innings. But rightfielder Walt Judnich looked at a third strike and the crowd stormed onto the field. The Braves practically carried Sain to the dressing room. * ~ * *. NONE OF THE four blows off Sain was better than a single, and they were spaced over as many innings, from the first through the sixth. The big fellow, a 24-game winner during the past campaign, didn't allow anything resembling a hit in the last three chapters. Aided by a stiff breeze from behind his back, Sain forced the slugging American Leaguers to hoist the ball high into the air most of the way. His outfield' ers made 15 catches, tying the World Series record set by the New York Giants in 1912. All the catches were easy ones, and only one Cleveland drive, by Ken Keltner, in the sixth inning, came near reaching the fences. The Braves were of course, even more futile against Feller's great speed and snapping curves before they, and Bob's own wild-' ness, finally caught up with him at the end. For the first three innings he set the National Leaguers down in order, only three balls going out of the infield. The first Brave to get on was Torgeson, who worked Feller for a walk after two were down in the fourth. He swiped second, but died there as Elliott popped out. * *S * . RICKERT, WHO joined the Braves only last week from Mil- waukee to take the place of in- jured Jeff Heath, tagged the Cleveland ace for a clean single to start the fourth, the ball just elud- ing Ed Robinson's glove as it sped past. A sacrifice sent Rickert to second, but he got no farther as McCormick and Stanky failed to get the ball out of the infield. That was all until the eighth. Cleveland had runners on base in five of the first six frames, and it appeared only a matter of time until they would bust loose. But the big hit never came when it was needed. Boudreau, whose two home runs sparked -the Indians to Monday's playoff victory over the Boston Red Sox, was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the Cleveland cast today. In four tries he rapped the ball solidly only once, when he lined out to centerfield to open the ninth. He whiffed to open the fourth and rolled to second in the sixth. BOB LEMON ... Indian hope to even series. Rogers New 'M' Club Head Goodlaw H. Rogers, who won three letters in baseball between 1911-'13, was elected president of the M Club, alumni organization for all Wolverine letter winners. Bob Morgan, genial assistant general secretary of the alumni association, was named to the secretary-treasurer post of the M Club.tAyresident of Ann Arbor, Morgan played football for the Maize and Blue in 1930, '31. Besides these positions, election results found the following chosen on the executive board: Ernie Mc- Coy, new Michigan basketball coach and long-time assistant ath- letic director; Howard Hinds of Detroit; John Leidy and Elwood Cushing, both of Ann Arbor, and C. L. T. Cabler of Detroit. The greatest sports section in the U.S.-NCN. ence teams while attending St. Catharine High School in Racine, Wisc. He is a hard fast runner and looks like he will follow his brother to a spot on the Wol- verine varsity. Another promising halfback is Jim Eldridge, who hails from Monroe, Michigan. He made All- State last year as a left half. This year he has been shifted to the wing-back by Coach Weber, and is handling it very well so far. IN THE PASSING department Bill Putich has stood out in prac- tice sessions up to now. Playing quarterback for Rhodes High School he made the all scholastic football team of Greater Clyeve- land. The freshman mentor also boasts of some fine line prospects. One of these is Bob Dingman, a 190 pound end from Saginaw. This husky lad attended Saginaw Ar- thur Hill High School and also managed to get a berth on the All-State team. Jack Gabel of Bellevue, Ohio has looked good at guard in some of the early scrimmages. He also made a name for himself while at- tending Bellevue High School by being nominated to the all league team of Northeastern Ohio. u i .1G'5Svc1 111 ..Ullitl Practice sessions for the 1948 edition of the Wolverine 150- pound team will reach their high- est point of the campaign this af- ternoon when Coach Cliff Keen sends his sixty man squad through an intra-squad game at Ferry Field. Coach Keen and his assistants have divided the contingent of 150 pounders into red and blue elevens for today's contest. This fracas will be the first one of its type so far this year for the lightweights. The lightweight mentor stated at the conclusion of yesterday's drill that he thought that the Maize and Blue would be able to field a pretty good 150-pound team this year. He praised the spirit that the grid aspirants have shown in their early practices. Yesterday's session was devoted to a light signal drill with each of the four different elevens brushing up on their T formation plays for today's gome.

Wally Weber's huge squad of 140 youthful footballers is studded with prep school stars. Several of them are already proving that they know how to handle the pigskin. * * * * ONE OF THE BEST PROSPECTS for the important tailback position is Don Peterson, kid brother of Tom of the Varsity.
