THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'igers Defeat Athletics To Chalk up Sixth Straight Victory Newhouser Wins No. 15 On 13-Hit Performance #takinf tef<0id By BAND MfANITHO ',Dilyj Sports Editor seize their fifth straight one-run vic- tory. Detroit thus extended its winning streak to six games and took scle possession of fourth place from the Cleveland Indians who lost to Wash- ington. It was Philadelphia's eighth successive defeat. The Tigers spotted Newhouser, who has lost six games, a three run early lead, but the A's fought backto tie the count in the fifth. York took charge in the sixth by belting Chris- topher's first pitch into the lower left field stands. Gets Out of Tough Hole In the ninth, the A's filled the bases with one out in a desperate attempt to win. Dick Siebert flied to medium deep left field and Wake- field's accurate throw nailed Ford Garrison at the plate for a game end- ing double play." Detroit took a one run lead in the second inning on successive sin- gles by Pinky Higgins, Chuck Hostet- ler and Paul Richards. Two runs fol- lowed in the third when Newhouser singled, Joe Hoover walked, Eddie Mayo sacrificed and Roger Cramer, celebrating his 38th birthday, looped a single to center. Estalella Slams Homer Base running seemed to take some., thing out of Newhouser, however. Estalella opened the fourth with a homer to the upper right field stands. Three singles followedtbut Richards saved Newhouser further trouble by picking Frank Hayes off second base just before George Kell lined up a single to left. In the fifth Eddie Busch and Gar- rison beat out bunts to Higgins and Estalella singled one run home. Aft- er Hayes popped, Siebert singled to tie the score. Higgins then made a great stop on Bill McGhee to retire the side. After York's homer, Newhouser got along much better until the ninth. With one out Garrison, Estalella and Hayes singled to fill the bases. Then came Siebert's fly and Wakefield's throw. The two clubs meet in a double header tomorrow with Johnny Gor- slca and Frank Overmire facing Don Black and Jesse Flores of the A's on the mound.

WITH their home opener against Iowa Pre-Flight only a few months off, Michigan football fans are starting to turn their attention in that di- rection. The last time that these two teams met was in the early part of the 1942 campaign, when the Wolverines lost a 28-14 decision to the star- studded Pre-Flight school. At that time, the Iowans, under the tutelage of Coach Bernie Bierman, former Minnesota mentor, were hailed as one of the greatest teams in the country, having romped over their previous opponents with mammoth scores. And when this array of collegiate and professional stars entered Ferry Field stadium, they were ruled as nre-game favorites over the Maize and Blue. However, Wolverine followers were electrified when their squad started making huge gains through the Pre-Flight forward wall. And before the astonished spectators could believe their eyes, Michigan had taken a commanding 14- lead, which looked as if Coach "Fritz" Crisler was finally going to conquer his old nemesis, Bierman, after all of these years. HOWEVER, the undaunted Fliers came back with a vengeance. The frequent substitutions made by Bierman in .the line was too much for the valiant efforts of Michigan's famed "Seven Oak Posts," who had to play the full game, and they capitulated before the terrific onslaught of the Pre Flighters. This year will be a different story, for all of the past stars have dwindled considerably, and Lt. Comdr. Jack Meagher, of the Hawk- eyes, will have to mould a team around the so-called youngsters. Thus, when these two schools meet, it will be on a more equal basis than it was the last time. At the beginning of the Seahawk's summer football practice, the per- sonnel soared into three figures, but was immediately cut by Coach Meagher. This was done because of the utter lack of experience and in order to assure more time to the definite prospects. THE CADETS who reported were in perfect condition as a result of their training in the program, and the former Auburn mentor was able to start scrimmaging on the third day. "They are about what I expected," Lt. Comdr. Meagher .commented after the first week of practice. "There are few boys present with anything more than high school experience, and many have not had that, but there are some big youngsters and I would say that we rate about the same as any college squad carrying on under war time conditiorrs. That is with the exception of schools who draw from service students such as Michigan, Northwestern, Purdue and Notre Dame." When I read the above quote, tears welled in my eyes for the inevitable plight of the Seahawks-that is, until I read the last line concerning the "schools who draw from service students." It then seemed to this scribe that Meagher was laying it on a bit thick, and maybe making a few excuses ahead of time, just in case. AS HAS BEEN STATED on numerous occasions, most of the great stars have gone. When Michigan was blessed with former stars, the Sea- hawks were also for there was a continual shift of military personnel. And the schools that were fortunate enough to have the aid of Navy and Marine trainees, were fairly equally matched in strength, as attested by the records of Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa Pre-Flight, Purdue and Great Lakes last year. In the light of these statements, I would say that the Iowans are rated "about the same as any college squad carrying on under war time conditions," barring exceptions. CADET LYLE DOWNING, who played right halfback for Lt. Don Faurot, at Missouri, is one of the most promising backs on the squad. Prior to his college days, he was state's sprint champion while attending St. Louis Southwest High, and he should add plenty of speed to the depleted Pre- Flight attack. This, plus the fact that Lt. Comdr. Meagher's basic plays already dealt out hinge around the T formation, which carried the Seahawks' to the number 2 position in the nation last year, in losing only to Notre Dame 14-13, should be ample warning to all elevens that the Pre-Flighter's will be able to hold their own against all comers.
