Sigma Chi Wins, 6-0, in Closing Minutes of

Contest

Varsity Grid
Squad Drills
For Wildcats)
Practicing in the shadow of the
oncoming contest with the North-
western Wildcats here Saturday,
the Wolverines went through an
extensive work-out yesterday.
As the reserves executed North-
western plays, the varsity got an-
other chance to familiarize itself
with both the ground and aerial
attack. Tom Hendricks, halfback
4 from Detroit, was impressive in
the safety slot against the simu-
lated T-formation Wildcat plays.
* * *
THE AFTERNOON was high-
lighted by an intensive scrimmage
in which the entire varsity was
given a chance to prove itself
against the Wildcat passing game.
In Northwestern quarterback Dick
Thomas the Wolverines will be
facing one of the most accurate
passers in the Big Ten.
On offense, halfback Tony
Branoff and signal-caller Lou
Baldacci got through the white-
shirted reserve squad to scamp-
er away on long runs.
The Wolverine coaches also
worked for quite some time with
the linemen in an effort to im-
prove the tining and blocking of
each man. This was deemed neces-
sary as a result of the way the
Iowa line charged the Michigan
offense last Saturday.

A scoring pass in the last two
minutes of play from Norm Canty
to Jim Young gave Sigma Chi a
6-0 victory over Chi Psi and a
spot in the first place playoffs.
The Sigma Chi defense which
has held its opponents to two
points in three games, stopped the
Chi Psi attack twice within its
own 10 yard line and then the of-
fense took over in the last half to
march the length of the field to
score on Canty's 30 yard heave.

Cox was on the receiving end of
the final two passes. Paulus ran
for one of the extra points and
passed to Bob Knutson for two
more.
Paced, by Jerry Stonkoff's
two touchdown throws, Theta
Chi blanked Delta Sigma Phi,
20-0. Bob MacKenzie opened the
scoring for Theta Chi with a 50
yard run. Stonkoff passed to
Dann Deaver for the extra point.
Stonkoff pitched to Deaver again
for ten yards and a touchdown.
Late in the second half Ston-
koff finished the scoring when

zone with a 15-yard pass.

BROOKLYN - (A ) - Manager}
Charlie Dressen, who directed the
Brooklyn Dodgers to two succes-
sive pennants only to lose in the
World Series, quit in a huff yes-
terday when his demand for a
three-year contract was reject-
ed.
Walter O'Malley, president of
the National League champions,
told a startled press audience that
Dressen had been offered a one-I
year contract "at a substantial
increase in salary," but had turn-
ed it down.
THE 55-YEAR-OLD Dressen ac-
knowledged he had asked for a
three-year pact but said he would
be willing to settle for two. He
said deflinitely he would not con-
sider a one-year contract.'
"That's right," Dressen told
newsmen, "I won't reconsider. I.!
won't manage the team next
year."
When asked whether he thought,
Dressen would reconsider," O'Mal-
ley said:
"I hope so, but I don't think so.
Charlie can sign a contract with
me right this minute if he agrees
to a one-year term," O'Malley
stated, with Dressen at his elbow.,
"Unless he agrees to sign for one
year, however, the Dodgers will
have a new manager next year."j

O'MALLEY said that as long asC
he is head of the Dodger organiza-
tion there will never be a changeI
from the policy of one-year con-
tracts. That, he said, included thej

then he feels the way he does now,
we'll start searching for a new
manager."
DRESSEN found it difficult to
conceal his bitterness over his
failure to come to terms with
O'Malley.
"I certainly feel I deserve a
longer term contract," he said. "I
have asked for a three-year con-
tract but I'd be willing to settle
for two. I certainly am not going
to sign for one year.
"Why should I sign for one.

guys. Leo Durocher took a con-

nants, something no other man-
ager ever did in Brooklyn, and

battle with Northwestern. In

Michigan still draws the crowds
on the road, though, as indications
point to near-sellouts at Minne-
apolis, Champaign, and, of course,
East Lansing.

success on the field precipitates a
sudden spurt for Michigan Stad-

remains far removed from that in

Michigan-Northwestern Game
Recalls Muddy Clash of 1925

-.
By IVAN N. KAYE
Daily Sports Editor
Michigan is undefeated as it1
goes against the Northwestern
#Wildcats on Saturday.
Michigan was also undefeated
when it traveled to Chicago back
in 1925 to play against a suppos-
edly inferior Northwestern team.
THE WOLVERINES, coached
by the immortal Fielding Yost,
I boasted the greatest passing com-
bination in football, Benny Fried-
man to Bennie Oosterbaan. Michi-
gan had just trampled a fine Navy
team, the pride of Eastern foot-
ball, into the dust of Ferry Field:
by a 54-0 score and all across the;
nation sportswriters were looking
for a big victory over Northwest-
ern. But there was one factor
which had been completely over-f
looked: the weather.
On the Sunday preceeding the;
game a light drizzle began to,
fall in the Loop. Chicagoans1
barely noticed the rain, but itJ
continued all day and on into1
Monday, at which time there
were the usual comments whicha
always come with a prolonged
rain. The showers continued
however, without let-up all
week, right up to game time onI
Saturday.
Six days of almost continuous
rain, a freak occurance of nature
which even today is remembered
with awe by the older inhabitants
of the Windy City. The downpour
had turned the turf of Soldier
Field into a gigantic mud puddle,
but 40,000 fans came to the stadi-
um in spite of the terrible weather,
drawn there by the reputation of
the Michigan powerhouse.

FROM the opening kickoff it
was obvious to everyone huddled
in the great stadium that the
weather had removed the title of

Early in the first period, the
Wildcats scored on a fieldgoal by
Tiny Lewis. From that time un-
til the waning moments, when
Michigan scored a safety by
trapping Northwestern captain
Tim Lowry behind his goal, the
weather stymied both teams and
kept the scene of action at mid-
field. The game finally ended
amid renewed cloudbursts, and
the big scoreboard registered
the wierd outcome: Northwest-

PAUL GIEL, Captain of the Minnesota grid squad, was voted the
most valuable player in the Big Ten conference last year. He shapes
up as one of the most likely candidates for back of the year this
season. He is top passer and ball carrier for the Golden Gophers. His
amazing gains are even more remarkable because he isn't particularly
fast. When asked about his running ability, he said that he had never
been timed as a runner. "I'd be afraid to have myself timed," he said,
"because I'd probably be so discouraged that I would give up football."
THE COACHING staff of the Iowa Hawkeyes is practically all-Mich-
igan. Of the five advisors, four are products of the Wolverine
gridiron. Head Coach, Forest Evashevski, Was Wolverine quarterback
in 1938-39-40. "Bump" Elliot gained All-America honors as halfback
on the 1947 team while Bob Flora played on the wartime 1942 squad.
The fourth man of the quartet, Archie Kodros, captained the 1939
grid squad.

A college student decided to add several new shirts to his
wardrobe. So one Saturday afternoon, he strolled into the
local haberdashery store. "Let me see a few of those Van
Heusen Pan-Am Pique Shirts the whole campus is raving
about," he said.
"No wonder everyone is raving about Pan-Am Piques,"
said the clerk, laying several on the counter. "They're smart,
comtortable, and come in Van Heusen's sensational new short
collar styles. What's more, I have a complete line of smart
new collegiate colors-as well as white. And they're only $
