THERE oughta be a law that no commentary on Michigan football be allowed until after the last game. That would make it easier on this observer, who hates to go out on the proverbial limb one week, then hide in seclusion for the next six days. It's easy for us to watch an opening game, watch the home team win by a decisive 42-13 score, and then offer a theorem like this: "Michigan, on the basis of its opening game against UCLA, should be an odds-on favorite to ..." Then comes next week. Make the words delicious because you may have to eat them. Fortunately for myself, I can escape this week unscathed. I was able to enlist the aid of some dignitaries in the press box after the game yesterday. They will proceed to go out on that thin branch instead of me: Tom Harmon, Leo Durocher and Wally Weber. Harmon, who used to scamper 60 yards through Ann Arbor traffic s without being nudged, was back at Michigan Stadium in a different capacity. He aired the Michigan-UCLA game back to CBS listeners on the West Coast. No. 98 has been away from the competitive side of football for a few years, but don't let his prematurely gray hair fool'you. He still looks as if he could drive would-be tacklers dizzy: The Football Hall-of-Famer thinks a lot of this year's Michigan eleven. "They told me that Michigan is only third best in The Big Ten,". he observed. "If that's true, I'd like to see Michigan State and Ohio State. They must REALLY be good." He went on to say that UCLA isn't too strong, mainly because of penalties inflicted upon them by the Coast Conference. "But let's face it - Michigan will be tough for any team this year." What did he think of Bob Ptacek, Michigan's sophomore tail- back? "Ptacek has the potential to be an all-American halfback." Coming from one of the greatest of all-Americans, this statement can't go unnoticed. Harmon was also impressed by Michigan's other fine sophomore back, John Herrnstein. "Real fine. Real fine." As for the Wolverines' two glaring weaknesses in the opening games, fumbles and pass defense, Harmon wasn't too worried. "There are two explanations for the fumbles: one, opening game jitters; and two, UCLA tackled awfully hard." As for the sometimes confused pass defense, Harmon thinks that a little more experience will sharpen it up. Durocher Speaks-... UROCHER, who used to make his living as a baseball manager, now adds color to NBC's football coverage. To say that he was overly impressed by Michigan's victory would be an understatement. He, couldn't stop talking about the Wolverines. Durocher,. who used speed as a vital factor in winning Major League pennants, thinks that speed will continue to spell victory for Michigan. "I don't see how anyone can beat 'em," he bellowed. "Everyone can run. Ptacek is big, but he can run. And that Pace - vooom, and he's off!" I asked the manager-turned-announcer what he thought of Ron Kramer. He thought that Kramer was one of the greatest athletes he'd ever seen. I asked him if he'd think of making Kramer a base- ball player. I don't think he heard the question. Next was Wally Weber, 'M' freshman football coach, the man who uses syllables at a wholesale rate. "Masterful quarterbacking on the part of James Van Pelt, was, to my mind, the highlight of the game." When asked if Michigan was holding back anything for next week's tussle with Michigan State, Weber orated thusly: "One must always be resourceful against tougher opponents. Our defense today could, be considered a 'subdued offense'." One last note on yesterday's post-game activity. Bennie Ooster- baan, in the dressing room, won top honors in the Most Sober Com- ment category. A reporter from the West Coast rushed up to him and said, "See you on New Year's, Bennie." Oosterbaan, with a serious look on his face, answered, "We're only thinking of Michigan State." US Wins in Davis Cup Semi's BROOKLYN (P)-Brooklyn's old pro Dodgers, rolling behind the superb pitching of Sal Maglie andj Clem Labine, carried the National League pennant race into tomor- row's final regular season games by sweeping a rhubarb-filled doubleheader from Pittsburgh yes- terday, 6-2 and 3-1. The sweep pushed the Dodgers-- all but dead just 24 hours ago- into first place over Milwaukee's' Braves, who had lost a night game at St. Louis. The Dodgers now are 92-61 with one game remaining (against the Bucs tomorrow). The Braves are 91-62 going into their game with the Cardinals. By taking the doubleheader, the CLEM LABINE .. wins for Dodgers Dodgers also eliminated Cincinnati from the race. Although the Red- legs won today at Chicago they are only 90-63 for the season, and even a victory in tomorrow's finale would leave them short of Brook- lyn's victories. Milwaukee Loses ST. LOUIS (P) -- The skidding Milwaukee Braves' pennant hopes suffered a vital body blow last night as the St. Louis Cardinals won a 12-inning thriller, 2-1, on Rip Repulski's double and the steady pitching of big Herm Weh- meier. The defeat put Milwaukee one full game behind. the Brooklyn Dodgers, who swept atdoubleheader from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mil- waukee has a 91-62 record to 92-61 for the Dodgers with just one game remaining for both clubs Sunday. Repulski's game-winning blow was only the fifth hit off south- paw Warren Spahn. The final inning started when Alvin Dark grounded out but Stan Musial then lined a double to right center. Milwaukee decided to issue an intentional walk to Ken Boyer to bring up Repulski. Rip thendrilled the ball off third base- man Eddie Mathews' glove into left field with Musial scoring the winning run. Tigers' Frank Lary became the American League's winningest pit- cher yesterday with his 21st vic- tory, a 9-1 decisiony over the Cleve- land Indians. The stocky righthander, who had a mere 4-16 record on July 1, held the Indians to eight hits. A single by Kenny Kuhn and a double .by Earl Averill in the seventh ac- counted for their only run. The Tigers collected 15 hits off Art Houtteman and Ray Narleski and five of them were for extra bases. Harvey Kuenn and Al Kaline homered and Kaline added a double and single. Washington 7, Baltimore 1 WASHINGTON (JP)-Evelio Her- nandez, 24-year-old Cuban rookie righthander,brought Washington's 11-game losing streak to a halt tonight when' he held Baltimore to six hits and the Nats won, 7-1, before 1,129 fans.

"I'm sorry we didn't do better," said the 48-year-old Lopez, whose team will finish second behind the New York Yankees again this year. "There's a feeling in Cleveland that we should have finished high- er than second," he said. "The tension has been a devil of a thing. I have no plans. I'm going home Monday." Home is Tampa, Fla. where he was born. The players seemed stunned when they heard the announce- ment as they arrived at the ball park for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. General Manager Hank Green- berg said Lopez' decision came as a surprise and a "great disap- pointment." 11 Major League Standings By The Associated Press II NATIONAL W Brooklyn .... 92 Milwaukee ... 91 Cincinnati ... 90 St. Louis ..... 76 Philadelphia .

If you do not fully understand an assignment, don't hesitate to ask questions so that it will be clear to you. Do more than the minimum in the preparation of each assignment. The more you put into the study of any subject, the more your interest will grow, and the greater your interest the easier the preparation. Be ready and willing to contribute to the class discussion, but do not monopolize more than your share of the time. Each of your instructors has scheduled office hours. This is an oppor- tunity given you for personal discussions with them. Take advantage of it and make it known to them that you appreciate the privilege of meeting them in a more informal way than is possible in the classroom. This shouldbe done during the first few weeks. If you will show a genuine interest.; early in the semester, the instructor will respond to that interest. Sharpen your mental tools and then expect the most out of college. at 7:00 P.M.

Y., MP) - A crippled Ham Richardson and an aging Vic Seixas scored crisp, straight-set victories today to send the United States into a 2-0 lead over Italy's European champions in the inter-zone Davis Cup tennis final. The Italians were angered by the reversal and attributed the one- sided defeats to "staleness" re- sulting from yesterday's postpone- ment, because of rain and wet courts.
