Chuck Baer threw four touchdown passes for the winners, with Steve Fishman and Aaron Podhurst both catching two. Podhurst scored two of the extra points and Fishman one, while Maury Friedlander wrapped up the game with his team's 28th point on the final point after touchdown. Sammies Trounce Theta Xi Sigma Alpha Mu won the other lopsided game of the afternoon as they continued on their winning way by soundly beating Theta Xi, 33-0. Warren Wertheimer threw touch- down passes to Larry Pearlman, Tom Kovan, Paul Richman, and a pair to Paul Groffsky. The Sam- mies were in complete control of the game from the start, and dom- inated play throughout the contest. Three overtime contests were all hard fought games, and the win- ners were the team that gained most yardage on four downs in the U.S. 'Tennis Team Wins MEXICO CITY W-Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert, aces of the United States' Davis Cup team, slipped through their second round matches with ease Wednesday in the 19th pan-American Tennis Tournament. Both won in straight sets, as did all seeded players in the men's singles.. overtime period. Alpha Epsilon Pi defeated Psi Upsilon in this man- ner in the first of these affairs while Kappa Sigma and Theta Chi beat Sigma Delta and Triangle re- spectively in the remaining over- times. Two other shutoutsrround out the schedule of social fraternities for the afternoon. Phi Kappa Tau scored midway in the final half to edge Theta Delta Chi, 6-0. The score came on a pass from tail- back John Keros to Dale Barker, and enabled the Phi Kappa Tau squad to concentrate on keeping their opponents bottled up for the remainder of the game. Ewart Sparks Chi Psis Chi Psi won with somewhat more ease over Alpha Phi Alpha as Dale Ewart sparked his team to a 12-0 victory. Ewart broke loose for 40 yards and his team's first touch- down and then put the game on ice with a scoring pass to Stu Schei- fele. In the Professional fraternity game of the afternoon Delta Sigma Delta scored three times to defeat Tau Epsilon Rho, 21-6, in the only game in which both teams scored. the winners relied on the combina- tion of Dave Nils' passes to Char- ley Murray to win the game. The duo combined for two touchdowns and two conversions, via the aerial route. Today's schedule finds Phi Delta Phi opposing Delta Sigma Pi; Phi Alpha Delta vs. Psi Omega; Phil Chi vs. Phi Rho Sigma; Alpha Kap- pa Psi vs. Law Club; Nu Sigma Nu: vs. Alpha Rho Chi; and Phi Delta Epsilon vs. Delta Theta Phi. All of' these games will be played at 5:05 at Ferry Field. CAPT. BINKEY BROEDER AND COACH EVASHEVSKI Branoff, Baldacci To Miss Iowa Tilt; Upset Hopes Fade . ceI JA .asI~II DETROIT (--The Detroit Red Wings face "triple trouble" tonight when they open the hockey season against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Olympia Stadium. First of all, the Red Wings are worried because their string of seven straight victories in home openers is on the line. Secondly, they are worried about the ticket sales. And, thirdly, they are simply worried about the Maple Leafs. The Red -Wings haven't lost a home opener since 1938. In that time they have won 11 times and tied three, with the last seven home openers resulting in victories. Of equal importance ito the Red Wings, however, is the surprising lack of interest at the box office. The single word "Toronto" always' has meant a rush for tickets-but not this time. The Detroit front office says at-' tendance may slip below the 11,- 500 figure-a low mark for a Tor-' 'onto game in many a year. Lastly, the Red Wings are wor-. ried that the Maple Leafs will be somewhat inspired in the opener. If you recall, the Leafs, a proud tesam, were shut out the first five, times they played in Detroit last year. Halfback Tony Branoff and Fullback Lou Baldacci will be ab- sent from Michigan's line up when the Wolverines take on the Hawk- eyes from Iowa Saturday. "Neither Baldacci nor Branoff will be available for the Iowa game," Coach Bennie Oosterbaan said. However, Jim Bates, who missed the first two games, worked out today and will probably see ac-1 The line and backfield went through routine tuning up exer- cises before beginning heavy scrimmaging.

CHICAGO (AP)-American Lea- gue club owners will meet again next Tuesday to determine if the Philadelphia Athletics must be sold by the Mack family. The m e e t i n g at Chicago's Blackstone Hotel was called Wed- nesday by league president Will Harridge, setting it exactly two weeks after a New York session at which Roy Mack was given 14 days to raise $750,000 to buy con- trol of the A's. The owners unquestionably will confront M fack with a put-up or sell-out attitude. Roy has strong- ly opposed the wishes of his fa- ther, Connie, and his brother, Earle, to peddle the debt-ridden A's to the highest bidder. Mack To Hear Offers At the New York meeting of owners, it was reported Roy gave the American League written as- surance he will listen to outside offers to buy the club, founded by Connie in 1901, if he failed to raise the $750,000. The money would be used by Roy to buy out Connie and Earle. Also at the New York meeting the owners heard details of two plans to buy out the Macks. One was from Arnold Johnson, Chicago business executive, who wants to shift the A's to Kansas City. The other came from Thomas Richard- son, an A's director and president of the Eastern League. Each offer reportedly is for $3,- 375,000 which would cover Connie Mack Stadium and the franchise. From the sale money. the Macks would have to liquidate debts es- timated at more than 1 million dollars. Plans Larger Ball Park Johnson said at his Chicago of- fice today he had his architects and engineers in Kansas City this week to study ways and means of By DAVE GREY The modern American football game has changed a good deal from the earliest days of the sport in 11th Century England when the pigskin was first a human skull, and then an inflated cow bladder. Authentic history blames it all on a poor Dane's skull found on a battlefield by workmen, who had fresh in their memories the Dan- ish imperialism in England from 1016 to 1042. Work was abandoned while the men took "sweet re- venge" by kicking the skull back and forth. This proved hard on the feet, especially for barefooted partici- pants who took up the idea, but t];e principle was retained when an inflated cow bladder was sub- stituted for the skull. Game Resembled Soccer The game caught on quickly aft- er 1050 with the English. Teams were made up of members from neighboring towns, and the play was somewhat similar to present day soccer. The main difference, however, was that the bladder, dropped at some midway point be- tween the villages, had to be kick- ed to the middle of the opposi- tion's town! Needless to say, rivalry was quite heated, with play getting so enlarging the present Kansas City ball park from 17,000 to 34,000 ca- pacity. Richardson, who says he is backed by a small group of weal- thy friends, said he would keep the A's in Philadelphia in 1955, but wanted league assurance the club could be shifted to any one of six or seven cities if "we decide Phi adelphia definitely no longer is two-team town." Such action requires approv by six of the eight clubs. Clar Griffith of Washington and Spik Briggs of Detroit have publicly ex pressed opposition to an A's shi to Kansas City. wild that most non-participants near the main street moved to the safety of indoors until the pro- ceedings were over. The authorities finally asked the citizens to calm down the wild- ness, and this soon led to the beginning of standardization of the game as we know ,it today. Play was restricted to a certain area that was marked off with goal lines, which had to be passed to score points. Thus the game of "kicking the Dane's head" and "kicking the bladder" was on its way, and by the 12th Century the name of "futballe" was popularized. tion Saturday. Baldacci, who was released from Health ; Service yesterday, and Branoff, suffering from a leg in- jury, were to be excluded from heavy drills for the remainder of the week as Michigan's grid team sharpens its defense against Iowa's Captain Binkey Broeder and crew. Broeder, a fullback, has a 35- yard punt, average and has netted 45 yards for a 4.5 yard-per-try mark. The Hawkeye's big ground gainer is Earl Smith, left halfback, who has rushed for 121 yards in 16 attempts. Meanwhile with high spirits, despite 45-degree weather, the Wolverine varsity intensified drills yesterday afternoon in anticipa- tion of thwarting Iowa's bid for its third straight win and second Big Ten victory. i 1' f 1 f . sj ;] - f T e F 1!f r l x x [GRID SELECTIONS] (Consensus selections appear in capitals) " 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

When they finally got him extricated with hot water and chisels, he thanked them nicely and said, "What's the matter with you jerks? I haven't been robbed." "No," he explained, "I was simply making a demonstra- tion of the Van Heusen Century shirt for some of the boys. Showed them why the revolutionary one-piece Century collar just won't wrinkle ever.
