LARRY DOBY ... likes short fences Injury-R idden Michigan Drills for Cadet Attack 0 - - Michigan's varsity football squad, with an eye toward Saturday's game against Army, spent consid- erable time yesterday afternoon working on defensive plays to halt what scouts term "one of the fin- est backfields Michigan will face." Injuries kept two starters out of practice yesterday. Fullback Lou Baldacci, sidelined with a badly bruised shoulder, and right end Ron Kramer, with a bruised hip, were missing from the regular back- field. In their place were Gerry Williams, Tom Maentz and Mike Rotunno at end, and Dave Hill and Fred Baer at fullback. Left halfback Danny Cline, who came out of the Washington contest with an injured knee, is expected to be in playing condition for this weekend's clash with the mighty Cadets from West Point. Baldacci and Kramer, however, are doubt- ful starters. Subbing for the in- jured pair will probably be Baer at fullback, and Maentz, a sophomore, at left end for Kramer. In attempting to stop the Army offense, Oosterbaan will also try to even the lop-sider total scoring mark. Michigan owns a mark of 33 points against 96 for the Cadets. A happy note, struck in contrast to present injuries of first-string players, was news of Center Jim Bates' release from Health Service after an attack of pneumonia. How- ever, John Peckham is working out at center to fill in for Bates at least until he can return to practice. Michigan's defensive team worked out plays to help stiffen its attack against Army's T-Formation and the Cadets' running plays. After an extensive session of pass defense practice, the Wolverine gridders ran through ground plays using tackling dummies for oppos- inb linemen. NEW YORK (A) - The Cleveland Indians and New York Giants will meet in the first game of the 1954 World Series today at the Polo Grounds with Bob Lemon sched- uled to pitch for the American League champions and Sal Maglie for the National League pennant winners. The weather forecaster looks for increasing cloudiness today fol- lowed by rain in the evening. That wouldn't affect the crowd of 55,- 000 expected for the cry "play ball" at noon CST. The weather- man said the afternoon tempera- ture would be about 70-75. The second game of the series also is scheduled for the Polo Grounds, with the teams going to Cleveland's Municipal Stadium for the third, fourth and fifth, if nec- essary, games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If the series goes the full seven games, the teams would be back in New York Monday and Tuesday. All games start at noon CST with television (NBC) and radio (Mutual) at 11:45 a.m. Managers Al Lopez of Cleve- land and Leo Durocher of New York did the expected in picking two righthanders for the opener. Lemon has a 23-7 season record and Maglie 14-7. For the second game the Giants will use Johnny Antonelli (21-7) against Early Wynn (23-11). This will be the third series for Cleveland, and the Indians are the 9-5 favorites to make it three world championships without defeat. The Indians are the 6-5 choice in the opening game. Cleveland defeated Brooklyn 5 games to 2 in 1920 and the Boston Braves 4 games to 2 in 1948. The Giants will be playing in their 14th World Series, but the Polo Groundjers haven't won the fall classic since 1933 when they polished off sthe Washington Sen- ators 4 games to 1. . Yanks Missing This is the first time in six years that the Yankees are missing from the series scene. Under Casey Stengel the Yanks won five straight world championships. With the huge Cleveland stadium seating more than 80,000, a record player cut is expected. The win- ning team may split up around $10,000 per man and the losers about $8,000. Last year each Yan- kee got a record $8,280.68 and the losing Brooklyn players received a record $6,178.42. The player pool comes only from the. first four games. The TV rights were sold for one million dollars with radio add- ing another $200,000. This goes into the Central Fund out of which the player pension program is sup- ported. Both teams had batting practice at the Polo Grounds yesterday Leo Durocher was downtown meeting with Commissioner Ford Frick, Cleveland Manager Al Lo- pez and the umpires when his New York Giants held their final tune- up for Wednesday's World Series opener at the Polo Grounds. Batting Practice George Spencer, ineligible for the series, threw batting practice to start the drill. Ruben Gomez, the Puerto Rican who is expected to start the third game, also pitched to the hitters. Durocher didn't arrive at the Giants clubhouse until the players West Point's entire senior class, some 467 strong, will thunder on to the Michigan Stadium turf this Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. to add color and pageantry to the Michigan-Army grid contest. Accompanied by their 110 piece band, the cadets will present their world famous precision drilling be- fore a crowd expected to number upwards of 75,000. The West Pointers will arrive by train shortly after noon Satur- day and march to the Michigan Stadium where they will present their drills. Plans have also been set to feed the cadets in Univer- sity Residence Halls. The cost of transporting the nearly 600 men to Ann Arbor was defrayed by an 80 cent increase in ticket prices for the game. SPORTS * * PHIL DOUGLIS Night Editor were finished and dressed. He spoke briefly with some of his men before announcing to the press that Sal Maglie would start the first game. Durocher sat in the upper stands to watch the Cleveland club take its batting practice. When Bobby Avila came down the steps from the Indians' club- house, the photographers mobbed him. They yelled to the Giants clubhouse for Willie Mays to come back on the field so they could get a shot of the two batting cham- pions. Mays obliged. In case of dark skies during the series, the umpires will be permit- ted to turn on the lights whenever needed. If it rains before game time, the commissioner has the fi- nal say on any postponement. If it rains during a game, the um- pires will make the decision. Pre- sumably they would confer with Frick before calling off a game. This is the first World Series meeting of the Indians and Giants, who have been spring training sparring mates since 1934. Last spring the Giants won the series 13-8. Neither manager puts much faith in those figures. STORE HOURS DAILY 9 TO 5:30 VAN HEUSEN SHIRTS SAL MAGLIE .. . shave the Indians?

Irish Number One in AP Poll; Five Big Ten Teams Rate High TOUCHDOWN TWINS TOO MUCH: Army Powerhouses Frustrate Wolverine Hopes By the Associated Press v Notre Dame, a familiar figure, rules the roost as the No. 1 col- lege football team today in the weekly Associated Press poll, but there are enough newcomers among the next nine to require introductions all the way around. Coach Terry Brennan's Irish, who rocked Texas 21-0 in their opener, replaced Oklahoma in the No. 1 spot.

(Second in a series of historical foot- ball features) By MARV SIEGEL When the Maize and Blue open its home season this Saturday, it will find itself cast in a role held by four other Michigan elevens of campaigns gone by-that of un- derdog against Red Blaik's peren- nially rugged Army team. Four times in history a Wolver- ine team entered a West Point fray as underdogs and on each oc- casion it has been beaten. But seldom has an intersectional clash generated such fierce rivalry as that of Michigan versus Army. It must have been with a great deal of apprehension that Fritz Crisler trod the turf of Yankee Stadium on a warm September day in 1945. His war-depleted band of Wolverines were slated to become another sacrifice upon the altar of one of the greatest grid- iron aggregations of modern times - 1 4 -the Blanchard, Davis, Tucker juggernaut. Army Explodes Aroused and scared Army, lying its forces, exploded in second quarter after Michigan; outplayed them throughout scoreless first stanza. ral- the had .the The Black Knights of the Hud- son racked, up the first score of the game on a 68 yard sustained drive. Then Doc Blanchard ripped through the Wolverine line and charged 68 yards for another Ca- det touchdown. Army led at the half way point, 14-0. Michigan gamely fought back in the third quarter, storming 75 yards for what was to be its only tally of the afternoon. The score was set up by a 30 yard dash by Walt Teninga and came on an 8 yard aerial from Teninga to end Art Renner in the end zone. Joe Ponsetto's conversion put the Wol- verines back in the game, 14-7. Michigan's glee was short lived however. Army, giving evidence of the recouperative powers that earned for it gridiron immortality, scored on a short plunge by Blan- chard in the third quarter and added the clincher on a 70 yard Glen Davis scamper in the last period. The 1946 season arrived and again Michigan faced the Cadets. Wolverine hopes were high for despite a 21 game win skein Army had displayed a notable weakness in depth. Wolverines Lead The capacity crowd of 85,939 had barely time to settle in their seats when the action came fast and furious. After the Michigan line, led by All-American Elmer Madar, thoroughly bottled up the heralded Mr. Outside and Mr. In- side, the Wolverines, one year away from greatness, roared 41 yards for the first score of the contest in the initial period. A few moments later Army made it painfully evident that an upset was not in the cards that afternoon. Glen Davis took a handoff from Arnie Tucker and churned through the Michigan secondary for 57 yards to knot the count. With time running out in the second period, Davis fireda long pass from his own 33 which was grabbed in sensational style by Blanchard on the Michigan 23 yard stripe. When the Wolverine line stiffened, Davis' fourth down desperation heave was caught in the end zone for a 13-7 Army lead. Michigan came back with a vengence in the second half. Start- ing from its own 17, the Wol- verines covered the distance to the Army goal line in 19 plays. Paul "Whizzer" White went six yards on a reverse play for the tally which tied the score at 13 all. Doc Blanchard culminated a 76 yard Army march by running over the Michigan left tackle from six yards out to unknot the count minutes later, however. The Army held its lead despite a last ditch Michigan rally to win, 20-13.
