Wolverines Stage Indoor

Drills;

Near Full Strength for Army Tilt

Michigan's slowly-recuperating
footballers lost an opportunity for
a heavy pre-Army game practice
yesterday because of the rain.
With the battle of the two grid
powers only two days away, the
Wolverines made up for the lack
in stiff drills with a heightened
spirit. The improved physical con-
ditions of the men injured in last
week's Michigan State tilt spark-
ed Coach Oosterbaan's squad to a
lively, but limited, workout.
Practice on Dirt
Except for a short warmup in
the mud of the regular practice
field, the Wolverines stayed in-
doors on the hard dirt floor of
Yost Field House. Rough scrim-
mages and tackling were too dan-
gerous for those surroundings.
Instead, a running through of
both Army and Michigan offen-
sive plays constituted the major
portion of yesterday's preparation

for Saturday's game against the
only team that Michigan has nev-
er beaten.
Showing less of the effect of
their leg injuries were Wolverine
fullback Dave Hill and centers Jim
Bates and Jerry Goebel. Further
treatment today and tomorrow
should make all three available for
unlimited action against the Ca-
dets.
Also working back into top form
were halfback Terry Barr, his
shoulder not as sore, and quarter-
back Jim VanPelt, still nursing a
couple bruised ribs.
Defensive Drills Slated
A more extensive practice will
be held today, weather permitting,
with more emphasis on the de-
fense which must be reliedhon to
stop Army's fast-charging back-
field which includes the versatile
Pat Uebel, who was instrumental*
in last fall's 26-7 triumph over the
Wolverines.

ImM SPORTLIGHT
... by dove grey
The Intramural program at Michigan is 44 years old this fall.
Few students fully realize the top national reputation Michigan
has received in recent years, under Director Earl Riskey, for the
well-organized schedule of competition on residence hall, social
fraternity, independent, professional fraternity, and faculty levels.
The I-M program here offers 21 different team sports for the
residence halls and social fraternities and 32 open tournaments for
all male students on campus. Thirty-nine independent teams were
organized last year and competed in 15 sports. Twenty-three pro-
fessional fraternity and 41 faculty squads also were formed.
Hail to the Champions .. .
Besides the maize of competition throughout fall, winter, and
spring, the I-M department also sponsors a popular co-recreation
program on Friday nights at I-M Building. First co-rec night will
be the 14th of October.
The final standings of the top five teams in each division last
year were:

Dodgers' First Series Win

..VAN SCOT..

From cap to cuff .

PAT UEBEL, versatile captain of the West Point eleven, promises
to figure heavily in the duel with Michigan Saturday. Uebel,
who scored one of Army's four touchdowns in last year's victory
over the Wolverines, averaged better than six yards per try last
season.

Climaxes Sev(
By ED SALEM
Ever since 1916, when the Brook-
lyn Dodgers won their first Na-
tional League pennant, the famil-
iar cry, "Wait 'till next year," has
been heard echoing through the
renowned borough of Brooklyn.
No more will this almost legend-
ary phrase be heard-for next year
has arrived. Thirty-nine years
later, before 62,465 screaming fans
at Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers
defeated the New York Yankees,
and thus won their first World
Series, four games to three.
Playing in their eigth Series the
Dodgers, behind the superlative
pitching of lefty Johnny Podres,
came back after spotting -the
Yanks two games, to take the
Series.
With Don Newcombe hampered
by a sore arm and aching back,
and Carl Erskine and Billy Loes
pitching ineffectively, Podres was
called o nto carry the load and

he came through in grand style.
Probably the most unsung heroesE
of the team was the bullpen staff
of the Brooks. Between them,
Don Bessent, Clem Labine, Karl
Spooner, Russ Meyer and Ed Roe-
buck, in their relief appearances
gave up but three runs in 18 3
innings.
But there were other standouts!

Each year the I-M staff in conjunction with the Daily awards a
trophy to the outstanding athlete in intramural campetition. Last
year's winner was Jack Watson, now graduated, from West Quad's
Lloyd House.
Those who saw the residence halls touch football final last year,
will remember Watson and former varsity halfback Jack Wheeler
