MICHIGAN OR NOTRE DAME:
Navy Coach Refuses
To Pick Better Team
Detroit Club
Says
No Successor Picked
DETROIT - ()-Steve O'Neill,
who gave Detroit one World
Championship and three American
League runner-up clubs in his six-
year stay here, was fired yesterday
as manager of the Tigers.
He was the seventh major league
pilot to lose his job this year.
1 * * *
ONE Of THE other six, Stanley
(Bucky) Harris, deposed New York
Yankees manager, has been ru-
mored as a likely successor to
O'Neill. Other possibilities include
Paul Richards, former Tiger
catcher who now manages Buffalo
in the International League, and
Roger (Doc) Cramer, Detroit
coach.'
An announcement from De-
troit General Manager Billy
Evans said no successor has been
chosen. It said O'Neill's contract
is not being renewed for 1949
because of a, belief "that a
change in field management
would be desirable."
Evans' statement said the De-
troit management "is keenly ap-
preciative of O'Neill's six years of
"loyal and conscientious service."
O'NEILL, reached at his home
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, said
he had no plans for the future. He
said he hadn't "given it a thought"
before receiving a telegram from
Evans. Shortly before that he had
received the news of his dismissal
from newsmen.
O'Neill, who came out of Mi-
nooka, Pa., as one of four broth-
ers to become major league play-
ers, took over the Detroit reigns
from Del Baker in 1943. That
year the Tigers wound up in
fifth place, the same as last
season.
Last season was O'Neill's 18th
as a manager and his ninth in the
American League. Of his 17 years
as a player he spent 13 as catcher,
for the Cleveland Indians.

A vastly improved Michigan
lightweight aggregation kept alive
their hopes for a second straight
'Little Big Nine" title yesterday
by whipping an outclassed Ohio
State eleven, 13-6, at Ferry Field.
Despite the apparent closeness
of the score the story of the game
was all Michigan. The scarlet-
clad Buckeyes were able to pene-
trate the Michigan 30-yard stripe
only once all afternoon.
S* *
LED BY GUARDS Don O'Con-
nell and Jere Ogle, the Michigan
line was outstanding all day. They
opened gaping holes in the Buck-
eye defense and tackled with a vi-
gor they have lacked all season.
Yet, for all their obviously
superior play the little Wolver-
ines had to win the hard way-
by coming from behind after an
Ohio State center snared a
Michigan pass and raced '28
yards to give thedBucks the
lead.
Michigan took the opening
kickoff and promptly marched 43
yards to the Buckeye 28, but an
offside penalty nullified a long
gain by fullback Bud Marshall
and the Wolverine offensive
spluttered and died.
THAT WAS the extent of the
excitement in the first quarter as
both teams spent the rest of the
period between the 30-yard stripes.
Ohio State put on their best
offensive show of the game as
they drove to a first down on
the Michigan four in the open-
ing minutes of the second per-
iod.
But here Prentice Ryan, who
played a bangup game all morn-
ing both offensively and defen-
sively, hopped on a Buckeye
fumble on the Michigan three to
avert a certain score.
* * *
THEN WITH LESS than three
minutes remaining in the first
half, Michigan quarterback
George Sipp faded back to his
own 25 and tossed a flat pass in-
tended for end Jim Costa.
Ohio's Earl Eltzroth pulled it
down on the 28 and raced into
the end zone unmolested. Eltz-
roth's placement was wide and
Ohio State led at the half, 6-0.
Michigan threatened early in
the third quarter when they took
over on the Buck's 31-yard line
after Nick Radosevich's poor kick
angled out of bounds, but a hold-
ing penalty set them back to the
46 and four plays netted them on-
ly nine yards.
THE OHIOANS TOOK OVER
and, after picking up tlj'ee yards
in three tries, Radosevich kicked
out on the Michigan 29.
This time the Wolverines were
not to be denied.
Sparked by Ryan's 34 yard dash
through the center of the Buck-
eye line the little Wolverines
marched 71 yards in eight plays
with Marshall phnging over from
the two.
JOHNNY WILCOX KICKED
the extra point and for the first
time this year, the Wolverine 150-
pounders had forged into a lead.
Seven plays later Michigan
had scored again. Halfback
Jim Morrish intercepted a third
down pass for Michigan on the
Ohio 43 and, after Ryan lost a
yard, Jerry Burns faded back to
his own 48 to pass.
He connected with end John
Picard who made a great catch on
the Ohio 23, sidestepped two po-
tential tacklers, stiff armed ano-
ther, and raced to the seven be-
fore being pulled down from be-
hind.
WILCOX WENT to the five and
then Ryan took a lateral from
Burns and circled right end for
the second Wolverine score. Wil-
cox's kick was wide and the quar-
ter ended with Michigan out in
front, 13-6.
End Larry Shaw put Michigan
in scoring position once again
when he fell on an Ohio fumble
on their 18-yard line to open the
final quarter.
Burns picked up one on a fake
pass but Ed Morey was trapped
and thrown for a six-yard loss
and Burns lost two more on a
fumble to end that threat.
* * *
THE WOLVERINES marched
to the Ohio 31 in the last minute
of play but a first down fumble
was recovered by Ohio on the 32.
The Bucks pulled out all the
plugs then with a combined later-
al and forward pass play but the
forward was incomplete and the
game ended seconds later.7
SMU Wins, 20-14
DALLAS, Tex. - (P)-Southern
Methodist edged down-trodden
Texas A. & M., 20-14, yesterday
by the grace of the football gods
and Doak Walker.
The fighting Aggies, playing
their best game of the season and
outpassing the celebrated Meth-
odist aerial circus, had a crowd
of 53,000 roaring as they held SMU
on the defensive most of the final
period and continually knocked at
touchdown door.
PLUNGES FOR TD-Bud Mar-
shall, hard-driving fullback of
the lightweight squad, smashed
over from the two yard marker
for his team's first touchdown
in yesterday's game with Ohio
State.

The flames of the hottest foot-
ball controversy in history were
fanned a little higher yesterday
afternoon when Navy Coach
George Sauer refused to compare
Michigan's Wolverines with Notre
Dame.
When asked in the locker room
after the Middies fell before the
Michigan onslaught, 35-0, wheth-
er Notre Dame was better than
the Wolverines, Sauer said, "I
refuse to become embroiled in a
controversy of this sort, besides
you really can't tell unless they
play each other."
THE RAIPAGING IISH1, who
spared Indiana today, 42-6, hand-
ed the Gobs their worst defeat
of the current campaign before
today's game, 41,-7.
"Notre Dame has a nmeh
more p 'werful team." Sa tier
added. 1iit the latter was ap-
parently a non.-commital State-
ment. The same was said list
,year. Michigan had the finesse
and Notre Dame, the power.
Sauer also refused to compare
Chuck Ortmann, who played the
finest game of his Michigan ca-
reer yesterday, and Frank Tri-
pucka, the Irish passing star.
"WHAT DO YOu lhik of
igan's defensive team? It was the
first game this year in which your
team hasn't scored," Sauer was
asked.
"Oosterbaan has a good de-
fensive unit, and Michigan has
a well balanced club," the Navy
pilot replied.I
Sauer expressed displeasure
with head-linesman Archie Mor-
row's decision on the fourth Mich-
igan score. Potential All-Ameri-
can end Dick Rifenburg had grab-
bed an Ortmann flip in pay dirt
and then bobbled the ball as he
ran out of the end zone and drop-
ped it. The pass was ruled com-
plete and the touchdown was al-
lowed.
SAUER SAID of Morrow's call,
"By no stretch of the imagination
and by no quirk of judgement
could the official rule that a com-
pleted pass. I've been in football

The Navy coach praised the
work of the other three officials.
Over the Michigan dressing
room, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan
was very pleased with his team's
showing as it won its seventh
straight game of the season and
ran the Wolverine streak to 21
consecutive wins.

BERKELEY, Calif.-(A')-Cali-
fornia's Bears roared through
another lap toward an undefeated
football season and possibly the
Rose Bowl yesterday with a 28-13
victory over a hard-fighting Uni-
versity of California at Los Angel-
es team.
The Golden Bears' eighth tri-
umph in a row unfolded before a
crowd of 65,000. The Bears, com-
bining ground power, a few timely
passes and breaks, scored in every
period.
The Bruins pushed over two
touchdowns in the last quarter to
change the contest from a rout
and provide a fairly close and ex-
citing finish.
California scored first when
Right Half Jack Swaner went
over from the one-yard line cli-
maxing a drive that went for80
yards.,
In the second stanza, Quarter-
back Ray Nagel raced 85 yards for
the Bears' second score.
Swaner ripped off another Cali-
fornia TD in the third quarter to
top off a 69-yard march.
After the Bears scored their
final tally in the last frame,
U.C.L.A. finally pushed over a pair
of tallies.
