SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, 1945 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Varsity Takes Decisive Victory in Tigers Lose to White Sox, 3-2 As Newhouser Loses -Seventh Chisox Score All in Seventh CHICAGO, Aug. 4 -(AP)-Tall Hal Newhouser, who won 29 games for Detroit last year, eased up for a few moments in the seventh inning to- day when he was nursing a 2-0 lead, and because of it the Chicago White Sox won their second straight from the American League-leading Tigers 3-2. Detroit had scored twice in the third inning and Newhouser had given up but three hits going into the seventh. To the 5,128 fans it looked like big Hal was on his way to a shutout. Then the explosion came. He walked Johnny Dickshot to start the seventh. Floyd Baker and Guy Curt- wright both singled to fill the bases, and Cass Michaels doubled to right to score Dickshot and Baker. Catch- er Mike Tresh laid down a squeeze bunt to score Curtwright. Aside from that inning, however, Newhouser was scarcely touched. He gave up four more hits, but never more than one in an inning. Orval Grove gave Detroit eight hits in winning his tenth victory of the year, with three singles in the third accounting for all the Tiger runs. Bob Maier led off with a single and went to third on an error by Tresh when Newhouser was safe at first on a fielder's choice. Jim Webb singled to score Maier, and Roy Cul- enbine singled to score Newhouser. Grove kept the rest of the Detroit hits well scattered, and was not in trouble the rest of the way. The loss was the seventh of the season for the ace Detroit hurler. What's What in the Majors Grimm Protests, Loses losses.

THE DOUGHNUT BOWL 1319 South University Avenue a frivolous sandal that brings >U Out -fi-the-open j l Spouris NEWS + VIEWS + COMMENT By BILL MULLENDORE, Daily Sports Editor (EDITOR'S NOTE: This column was written by Mary Lu Heath, Daily Night Editor) YESTERDAY'S intra-squad football game at the Stadium, the coaches announced early in the week, would not conform to the usual pattern for college contests. And they judged rightly. The whole affair was unr- thodox, as four assistant coaches tried to get a line on the squad's progress so far and its prospects for the future. The crowd, as expected, was very small, but a surprising number of football-starved souls showed up to brave two hours, instead of the custom- ary one, of football. In describing those in attendance, we might say that the spectators were within shouting distance of one another. The coaches broke all the rules of gridiron etiquette when they fol- lowed in the wake of the clashing elevens, jotting down notes on the progress of the game. Assistants "Biggie" Munn, Bennie Oosterbaan, Earl Martineau, and Art Valpey spotted for Head Coach "Fritz" Crisler, who was in Evanston at a Big Ten meeting. In fact there were enough extra officials on the field to make up another eleven, and even the traditional Michigan dogs which habitually parade across the field at regular games were allowed to roam at will. Three officials were arbiters, including hockey coach Vic Heyliger, Ernie Vick, umpire at Michigan baseball games, and John Nielson. Ray Roberts, the team's trainer, also followed the plays, but was only called upon to tend to one serious injury when Warren Bentz, a leading halfback candidate, suffered a sprained ankle. * * * * THE PARADE of Blue touchdowns came to 10 in the final tally, with Walt Teninga, one of the outstanding backfield men on the field, scoring four, and Hank Fonde going over for three. Technically speaking, the scores came at 2:50, 3:05, 3:21, 3:27, 3:37, 3:51, 4:03, 4:11, 4:26, and 4:27 p. m. EWT respectively. Conservatively speaking, the Blues were busy. Capt. Joe Ponsetto counted for three of the six successful conversions, with left tackle Bob Callahan getting one and quarterback Howard Yerges getting two. The backfield standouts were so numerous that no star could be picked out. Teninga, Ponsetto, Bentz, and Hank Fonde all came in for favorable comment on the running plays. Fonde carries a Michigan tradition on his shoulders this year, as he represents the varsity track team on the football squad. For the past couple of seasons Wolverine tracksters have had a habit of popping up at football practice. Elroy Hirsch and Bob Nussbaumer are one two examples of the tradition. In yesterday's game, Fonde turned in a sparkling 65-yard touchdown run which brought the crowd to its feet. The passing department found three men doing the flipping for the Wolverines, as the squad took to the air more frequently than is usual for a Michigan outfit. Ponsetto, Pete Elliot, and Yerges threw the passes, two of which Ed Bahlow, end from Wisconsin, and Teninga caught for touch- downs. THE PENALTIES were surprisingly light, and added up to about 50 yards altogether. In fact the scarcity of offsides, etc., led one irrepressible fan to pronounce this edict: "Looks like the refs are all for Michigan." For the White jayvees, left halfback Wes Muelder was outstanding in the backfield. Muelder made the two longest runs for the juniors as he jogged 20 to 37 yards. An interesting coincidence in the line concerns the left guard post. Among the top candidates for the position are Dominic Tomasi and Joe Soboleski. Tomasi and Soboleski, who are also buddies in private life, battjed for the second base job on this spring's baseball squad. Each played in Western Conference games and each emerged at the end of the season with letters. Probably the most interested and well-informed spectator at the game was Fielding H. Yost. Michigan's "Grand Old Man" might have been think- ing that although the present squad did not rival his Point-A-Minute teams of 1901-'05, they literally came mighty close yesterday.

Victorious Captain Kocsis Snares Lead in Open With 138 Low Whites Are Outclassed In Lopsided Duel, 66-0 Byrd Two Tied Behind by Only Strokes; Kosten for Second Place By The Associated Press GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. 4-Chuck Kocsis of Detroit's Red Run Golf Club carved out a remarkable 34-33 -67, five strokes under par, today to grab a two-stroke halfway lead in the 1945 Michigan Open Golf Championship at Cascade Hills Coun- try Club, with a 36-hole total of 138. Kocsis, who won the State Open crown 14 years ago and annexed four state amateur titles, rammed home three birdies on each nine today, go- ing over par in only one hole, the 329-yard seventh, wherehe hit his drive out of bounds. Byrd Shoots 66 Even hotter than Kocsis was de- fending champion Sam Byrd, De- troit Plum Hollow pro, who leaped into a tie for second place, two strokes off the pace, with a 32-34- 66, one stroke over the Cascade course record. Byrd, who had a 74 yesterday, reached the halfway point with 140 strokes, two under par and even with Lee Kosten of Muskegon, the first day leader, who had 66-74-140. Gantz is Fourth Jimmy Gantz, Byrd's assistant at Plum Hollow, was right behind his boss with a 72-70-142, good for fourth place. Five were tied for fifth at 143 and five others finished the first 36 holes with even par 144, but the title fight tomorrow generally is expected to be between Kocsis and Byrd. Byrd had an excellent chance to equal or break the course record of 65 held by Marvin Stahl of Lansing. Coming into the seventeenth he needed only one more birdie and a par for his 65 but missed a five-foot putt for his birdie on the 365-yard 17th and failed on a 12-foot putt for his birdie 4 on the 489-yard 18th. 155 Required A 36-hole total of 155 was required to qualify for tomorrow's final two rounds, the low 70 and ties surviving. Still rated a chance to grab off first money were those in the 143 and 144 groups at even par or better. Among those one under par for the first two days were Chick Rutan, Birmingham Country Club pro, 72- 71-143; Cliff Settergren, Muskegon pro, 70-73-143; C. J. Farley, Grand Rapids amateur who holds the Mich- igan Senior Championship, 71-72- 143; and Jimmy Johnson and Gib Sellers, Detroit pro, 74-70-144; Al Watrous, Detroit Oakland Hills pro who is after his sixth State Open crown, 72-72-144; Joe Belfore, pro at the Country Club of Detroit, 71- 73-144; Frank Connolly, Detroit Lake Pointe amateur, 74-70-144; and Eldon Briggs, Ionia pro, 70-74- 144. Holsinger Still Very Sick at 'U' Hospital Joseph Holsinger, Michigan State backfield coach, who underwent an operation for a brain tumor, was re- ported still quite ill at the University Hospital today. Hospital authorities said that he was responding, but was still in a confused state. His condition was reported as about the same as that of Thursday evening and nothing promising could be said for him. '1~ I if 11 I I i I t I I I I
