THEMICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Newhouser Defeats Red Sox for His 20th Victory By HANK MANTIO Daily Sports Editor Boston Pounds Gorsca To Take Second Gxame Metkovich Leads 16 Hit Attack as Red Sox Maintain Half-Game Advantage over Tigers When the Minnesota Gophers again take their turn on the gridiron this year, the ever persistent question, "are the Gophers still the old football giants?" will ring through the minds of many sports fans. After a disastrous season last year, which saw the former conference terrors sink to one of the lower brackets of the Big Ten,. and face onej of the most humiliating seasons ever seen at Minnesota, it is hoped byI Coach Dr. George Hauser that he can field a team capable of a creditable showing. As the summer practice came to a close, Coach Hauser stated that he felt his squad this year was stronger than their team of last year, but this does not say very much. He based this conclusion on the fact that he has a good line. Though this line will not even resemble the maanmoth lines of pre-war days when Bernie Bierman was head man at Minnesota, it will be able to hold its own in the Western Con- ference competition. The main strength of the line will hinge around the center-guard com- bination, which is reputed to be one of the strongest in the Middle West. However, Hauser will have to develop a pair of tackles and a pair of ends to round out the support for this strength in the center of the ling Bob Lossie, who starred last year as a freshman, will perform at center, while Bob Graiziger and Bob Jensen, a transfer from St. Thomas College, where he twice won All-State honors, will team up at the guards. Tom Reinhart and Rube Juster, substitutes last fall, are the outstanding candi- dates for the tackle slots, though their efforts may not be good enough to ward 6af the challenge of several promising freshmen gridders. With this line and a veteran backfield composed of Mark Browen- stein, Bob Kaspar, Red Williams, Tori Cates and Bob Grannum, the Gophers picture looked much brighter this summer than it did a year ago, when nineteen letter winners and stars were hustled off to other teams via the transfer route. . However, on the sad side of the ledger is the fact that some of the men in the Navy program who were being counted upon heavily are in the various professional schools of the University and there will be a bigger demand of their time for scholastic duties. This will mean that there will be a decrease of time which they can spend on the field, and that will hamper the Gopher attack considerably. The one incident that will always remain in my mind is the embarrassing drubbing that the Wolverines handed Coach Hauser's team last fall. After the dominance of Minnesota over Michigan for almost a decade, this jinx was finally broken in that game, and the little Brown Jug again rested in Ann Arbor. Knowing full well that the defeat was humiliating, we naturally felt that they would at least be sports about it, but it .was the exact opposite--they just couldn't stomach their defeat. There were many excuses made, and there were even rumors that the Gophers were going to drop football for the duration because they couldn't stand the blow to their prestige. I guess the Minnesota squads are good winners but poor losers, if their action, of last year is any criterion. This year's game between these two schools, then, should be a match well worth watching, because Coach Hauser would rather win this tilt than any other an the schedule, and Coach "Fritz" Crisler of the Wolverines, will be equally anxious to continue his sudden mastery over Minnesota. And I believe that the Gophers will have nothing but vengeance in their minds when the Maize and Blue eleven hits Minneapolis, and now that they have a little more material, their confidence is gradually being restored. All of this analysis boils down to one thing-the Wolverines will have a lot to do with the issue of whether or not. Minnesota will regain its supremacy and once more become the old grid giants, and both teams are fully aware of this. OLD FRIENDS MEET-Naval Lt.

CULLENBINE'S DAY: Harder Chalks Up Ninth Win As Cleveland Stops Yankees NEW YORK, Aug. 18-U)-After two days of slugging the ball to all corners of the lot, the New York Yankees were blanked for the ninth time this year today when they were beaten 2 to 0 by the Cleveland In- dians. In chalking up his ninth win against seven defeats this season and Intramural League Ends First Round "Cy" Adams House appeared head- ed for the. crown of the Intramural Baseball League, now worn by White House, as the teams completed the first half of the scheduled ten game season. Adams defeated Colonial House 10-0- on Wednesday night, thereby maintaining a full two game advan- tage over last season's champions, White House. The latter club just managed to remain in second place, however, for on Tuesday night they staged a rally in almost complete darkness to subdue Chicago Lodge, 6-5. Thus they moved into undis- puted possession of second place. The standings now show Adams in first followed by White House. Col- onial and Elmwood are tied for third, with Chicago Lodge and 1550 jointly occupying the cellar. his 206th success in 17 years in the majors, Mel Harder checked the Yankees with seven hits. Roy Cul- lenbine scored both of the Indians' runs, hitting his 13th homer in the fourth after he had singled in the second and moved around on a walk, sacrifice and Russ Peters' infield out. Cleveland ... .010 100 000- 2 New York ....000 000 000- 0 5 7 1 1 BOSTON, Aug. 18-(P)-Lefthand- er Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Ti- gers became the American League's first 20-game winner of 1944 today by blanking the Boston Red Sox, 3 to 0, in the first game of a double- header but the Sox ganged up on Johnny Gorsica in the nightcap, pounding out 16 hits for a 7 to 4 tri- umph to retain second place by a half-game. The New York Yankees, who lost to Cleveland, dropped into fourth l from a tie with the Tigers for third place. The split left Detroit hold- ing a half-game edge over New York. The Red Sox hammered Gorsica hard all the way but the tall Tiger righthander had a 4-2 lead going into the seventh despite being tag- ged for at least one hit in every inning.; Four Boston singles, combined with an infield out, a fielder's choice and a wild pitch, netted three runs in the seventh and the Tigers couldn't catch up after that. To make certain of the even break Boston scored twice more in the eighth on Skeeter Newsome's two- bagger, George Metkovich's triple and Pete Fox's single. Metkovich also hit a first inning home run, his sixth of the season. Hamilton Ousts Pennsylvanian Nelson Defeats Goggini; Continues Stellar Play SPOKANE, WASH., Aug. 18-(1')- Harold "~Jug" McSpaden of Phila- delphia, leading money winner of the year in golf, was bounced out of the national P. G. A. tournament today by Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Ind., 2 and 1. It was Hamilton's first bid for the P. G. A. crown, but he had all the cool concentration of the veteran campaigner as he moved into the lead on the third nine and was never headed. Tournament favorite Byron Nelson of Toledo, 0., moved into the semi- finals of the 1944 National P.G.A. golf championship with a 4 and 3 win over Willie Goggin, White Plains, N.Y., in the 36-hole quarter-finals today. It was a runaway for Nelson, bid- ding for his second P.G.A. crown, and he breezed through 33 holes in seven under par figures for the Man- ito course. He cracked out a 66 against the par 72 layout to lead Goggin 4 up at the 18th and he held the same margin at the 27th, touring the third nine in 36. Goggin had a 71 for the morning round, equalled his rival's 36 on the third nine and matched him stroke for stroke for halves on the last six holes. Harder & Schleuter. Queen, J. Turner & M. Garbark. Pass eau Bats and Pitches Cubs To Win over Braves CHICAGO, Aug. 18-(M)-The Chi- cago Cubs combined Claude Pas- seau 's steady pitching and a 13-hit attack for a 5 to 3 victory over the Boston Braves today, putting them ahead in the series, two games to one. Passeau allowed eight hits in scoring his eighth victory one more than he has lost. Andy Pafko's double and Len Mer- ullo's triple, after a single by Del Dallessandra, scored three runs in the sixth to bring the Cubs from behind and hand Charley Barrett his 14th defeat against seven wins. Barrett was kayoed in the next frame. Detroit's scoring in the night- cap started with Roger Cramer's single and Eddie Mayo's double, producing one run in the first in- ning. Three Tiger tallies in the fourth, topped off by Cramer's tri- ple to right, gave Gorsica his 4-2 lead but he couldn't hang on. Mike Ryba, who relieved Clem Hausmann in the fifth for Boston, spaced three hits the rest of the way to notch his 10th victory. The de- feat left Gorsica with a season record of five wins and a dozen defeats. Newhouser, finally beating out teamnate Paul (Dizzy) Trout in their duel to see who would be first to notch his 20th victory, was airtight in the first game, spacing seven Bos- 'ton hits and striking out six. He has been beaten only seven times this year. Emmett O'Neill, who opposed him on the mound, gave but six hits but four of them were for extra bases. The Tigers got enough runs for Newhouser in the opening frame when Cramer led off with a double to right and scored on Jim Out- law's triple tot right. Outlaw came home on Rudy York's double to left center. Passes to outlaw and Dick Wake- field, followed by Pinky Higgins's single to right, accounted for De- troit's other run in the third inning. Four Tiger double plays, two in each game, brought their league leading total in that department to 134, four more than their entire 1943 output. Detroit, with 11 victories in the14 games of their current road trip, winds up its Fenway Park stay for the season tomorrow before continu- ing to New York.
