Coach Biggie Munn's Spartans * from East Lansing, who spanked Michigan, 25-0 last week, edged out the Golden Bears of California for first place. The Bears took the runnerup spot by a sparse 28 votes from Tennessee, the team which was accorded the No. 1 spot in a pre- season poll Sept. 10. In last month's balloting, Michigan State was rated the No. 2 outfit. On the basi of 10 points for first, nine fof second, eight for third, and so on, Michigan State stacked up 1,026 points in the poll of sports writers and sportscasters from coast to coast. California, which came east to rock Pennsylvania, 35-0, and gain a lot of respect from Eastern grid- iron scribes, had 22 firsts and a total of 962 points.

Defensively the Blue team looked little better. The crip- pling blow was the loss of vet- eran tackle Tom Johnson who was forced to the sidelines with a head injury Amidway in the second quarter. The notable exception to the general pattern was Michigan s electrifying goal line stand which nearly averted the first MSC touchdown. AFTER PENALIZING them- selves to within the two yard line, the Wolverine defenders stiffened and stopped three Spartan thrusts short of paydirt. However, on the fourth and final try quarter- back Al Dorow nosed over for wrat proved to be the winning margin. Another bright spot on the dark Michigan horizon was the performance of three Wolverine freshmen, Don E a d d y, Art Walker, and Leo Schlicht. Al- though their appearance was brief, they showed signs of TanersSpl promise and should see more action in the near future. Coach Ben Oosterbaan stated yesterday that there would be not radical changes in the Michigan lineup for this week's clash with Stanford. However, he hinted that he would do some juggling' in an attempt to provide a more ' potent combination.

In propelling "Destiny's Tots" to their eighth straight triumph and their 13th decision in their last 14 games, Hearn yielded only five hits to the bone-tired Dodgers and was not in serious danger of being caught because Bobby Thom- son and Monte Irvin slashed home runs. * * * THE AMAZING men of Leo Dur- ocher needed to win only one of two games scheduled on their home field starting today to cli- max the greatest stretch drive in all baseball. Yesterday's playoff was witnessed by 30,707 at Ebbets Field. It was a stunned gathering of Dodger rooters that saw its heroes succumb. Ralph Branca went eight inn- ings for the Dodgers and turned in a creditable performance, but Thomson's 31st blast of the sea- son in the fourth inning with Irvin an base and Irvin's 24th leading off the eighth unhorsed the righthanded fastballer. Bud Podbielan worked the ninth.

No serious injuries were reported by trainer Jim; Hunt. Johnson took part in the warinup drills and will undoubt- edly be heady to go Saturday. Lowell Perry aggravated a sore back and reported to Hunt for heat treatment, but he too should be ready for Stanford. ish Trough (EDITOR'S NOTE: At the begin- ning of each week during the foot- ball season the Daily Sports Staff will furnish a review of the doings of the previous Saturday of Michi- gan's remaining 1951 opponents.) The Stanford Indians, Michi- .gan's next gridiron foe, came through with their second straight win of the season Saturday as five of seven other future Wol- verine opponents hit the victory trail in their initial starts. Little San Jose State fell vic- tim to Stanford, 26-13, in a game highlighted by the work of Stan- ford quarterback Gary Keritorian. ** * KERKORIAN PASSED to All- American Bill McColl for one touchdown and scored another himself when hie raced 68 yards after being trapped on an at- tempted pass.

Rout of MSC Revenge in slight portion came to Michigan Sunday afternoon when its consistently good sailing club won a 137-114%/2 victory from Michigan State over the Whit- more Lake course. Led by veteran Paul Paris, the Wolverines won four of the six races while strong breezes and sunny . skies served as an ideal backdrop for the annual grudge race. The Spartans managed to gain victories in the second and third of the day's. races, but the over- all seamanship of the Maize and THOUGH the Giants' infield looked tense at times and twice got Hearn into potential trouble in the middle innings, it redeemed itself in the clutches by reeling off four comforting double plays, in- cluding a twin killing in a wild scramble on the base paths which ended the game. The Giants, gifted by five walks and an error, threatened continually to bust the contest wide open in the latter innings, but Branca had it in the tight spots and generally was given fine support. Branca had the Giants popping up and hitting to the outfield most of the time. The Dodgers came up with only two assists, both on, All men interested in going out for freshman basketball re- port to the Fieldhouse tomor- row (Oct. 3) at 3:30 p.m. Please bring own equipment. -E.

Some of the younger men, who are counted on this season to give Mann's slumping team a new life, did particularly well during the tour. Ron Gora, who was one of the outstanding high school swimmers in the nation last year, had a 2:08 to his credit in the 220-yard free style. And second-semester fresh- Tnan Burwell (Bumpy) ,Jones clocked a 1:07.4 in the 100-meters backstroke to give the Maize and Blue a hope against Ohio State in that style. *b * THE VETERAN John Davies also swam well, and sophomore Don Hill broke 52. several times in the 100-yard free style. The British opposition was not strong in most cases, but one or two men did give the Maize and Blue team some trouble. There was John Brockway, four times national champion, who de- feated Jones and Bernie Kahn in the backstroke twice; Jack Word- rup, a Scottish boy who swam the 440 in 4:49 and the 220 in 2:12; and Ronnie Burns, another very good free styler atsthose distances. TIIE BRITISH people were ex- tremely hospitable to the Michigan ambassadorial delegation. In the private homes where they were lodged at most of the 20 towns where they stopped, the savings of weeks in food rations were set be- fore the Wolverine athletes. Every day was reception day for Mann and his men. They met the mayor of a different town every afternoon, had tea, gave a clinic, had tea again, had din- ner, gave an exhibition, and fin- ished up with more tea. Most of the pools were a differ- int length from those in the Uni- ted States. The favorite length was either 33%V' meters or 331/3 yards. Standard U.S. pool is 25 yards. * * * OTHER MEMBERS of the Mi- chigan group, in addition to those mentioned above, were: Matt Mann III, former Michigan cap- tain and son of the coach; Alex Canja, diver; Rusty Carlisle, med- ley performer; Dave Neisch, last year's captain; T o m Benner, another second-year man; Wally Jeffries, free-styler; Stew Elliott, captain-elect along with Davies and Big Ten champ in the 100- yard breast stroke; and distance ace Luis Child.
