SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 1945 T HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Whites TakeIntra-SquadGridTilt,40-27 SPORTS NEWS+ +VIEWS+ *COMMENT By BILL MULLENDORE, Sports Editor SIX WEEKS OF SUMMER football practice at Michigan came to a close yesterday, as Coach H. O. (Fritz) Crisler and his seconds in command drove their charges through a rigorous two hour and 20 minute Intra-squad game that provided a wide variety of entertainment for the surprisingly large crowd of approximately 3,500 persons, who braved a steady rain to' witness the event. To the spectator, Michigan's possibilities for 1945 looked quite promising indeed, as the lads charged up and down the field with great enthusiasm to score a total of 10 touchdowns. Offensively speaking, the Wolverines did more than all right. Obviously, the defense showed a few leaks here and there. In their desire to cross the goal line the boys seemed to forget at times that there is also some advantage in keeping the other fellow from doing the same thing, that you usually have to do more than score points to win any kind of an athletic contest. STRANGELY ENOUGH, advance notices predicted some sort of defensive battle for the afternoon fray. That prediction was borne out by a week of intensive drills stressing defensive tactics, after the coaches had spotted numerous weakness in that department during last week's 66-0 rout of the Junior Varsity by the Blue-shirted regular squad. Either the gridders-to-be failed to learn their lessons or they had learned their offensive maneuvers too well, for whatever else it may have been, yesterday's workout definitely was not a classic in the art of football defense. Orchids for individual showing must go to fullback Danny Dworsky, a 190-pound bruiser from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who packs a lot of punch on his stocky frame. Dworsky didn't even get into the game last week, being kept out by an injury, but his presence was much in evidence yesterday. DWORSKY SCORED a couple of touchdowns for himself, among other things, and did a lot of ball-carrying besides, bulling his way up through the middle time after time for appreciable gains. While he still has a lot to learn about the fine points of playing the always difficult fullback position under the Crisler system, he earned himself a lot of favorable recognition for his efforts. At this stage of the game Michigan does not boast anything closely resembling a triple-threat' tailback, something that is always nice to have around. Bob Teninga, a Chicago freshman with a lot of speed, has established himself as the best runner of the current crop, but leaves much to be desired in the passing and punting departments. Pete Elliot, a Navy transfer from Illinois, heads the list of passers, while none of the men available for the job have done much in the way of consistent kicking. This shortage in the triple-threat department may be relieved when Jack Weisenburger, a third string holdover from last season, shows up for fall practice. Weisenburger came along in a hurry near the end of last season and may turn out to be just what the doctor ordered for the role. He is a fast and elusive runner, a better than average passer, and a very good punter, and boasts plenty of determination and willingness for good measure. Nobody would be much surprised to see him step into a first string berth before the opening whistle blows for the curtain-raiser against Great Lakes, Sept. 15.

The Tigers tagged the Boston starter, George Woods, for seven hits -five of them for extra bases -in the first two innings to pile up a 5-0 lead before Lazor belted his first homer in the fourth with nobody on base and his second in the fifth, scoring behind Byron La Forest and Tom McBride, who had singled, to make it 5-4. Caster, who reported yesterday fol- lowing his acjuisition from the St. Louis Browns, put out the fire in the fifth and gave only two hits in his four and one-third inning trick. Mueller, however, gained credit for his fourth victory. Woods steadied to hurl five straight hitless innings after his ragged start and the only Tiger blow after the second frame was Rudy York's single in the eighth off Mike Ryba. Joe Hoover's triple accounted for the first Detroit run in the opening inning andedoubles by Bob Maier, Mueller, Hoover and Jim Outlaw along with Ed Borom's single were worth four more Tiger tallies in the second. er, a single by Pat Seerey and a dou- ble by Lou Boudreau together with a couule of walks finished Dubiel.

Giant Rookie Wins NEW YORK, Aug. ll-()-Adrian Zabala, Cuban southpaw, made a successful Major League debut with the New York Giants today by hold- ing the St. Louis Cardinals to six hits and winning his game 10-1. The Giants salvaged the finale of a four game series with the Red- birds by raking five hurlers for 14 hits, including a home run by Billy Jurges. Every batter in the Giants' lineup hit safely with Dan Gardella most productive, his two singles driving in three runs. Mike Schemer, like Zabala, recently brought up from Jersey City, continued his lusty hit- ting with two hits to raise his total to nine in four games. St. Louis' only run came in the third on Del Young's double and Debs Garms' single.

Passeau struck out eight men and didn't give a single base on balls as he won his 13th victory of the season. The Cubs picked up two runs in the first inning off Bob Logan. Stan Hack doubled and come hame on Phil Cavarretta's single. Cavarretta stole second, went to third on Masi's error and scored when Vin Shupe fumbled. The other six runs came in the ninth - two off Johnny Autchings and four off John Hendrickson. Andy Pafko was hit by Hutchings, then Lennie Rice got his third hit of the game. After Len Merullo re- ceived an intentional pass, Passeau and Hack walked, forcing in Pafko and Rice.

By 1ARY LU HEATHY Concluding six weeks of summer football practice yesterday in the sec-X ond intra-squad game of the semes- ter, a determined Michigan White squad overcame a stubborn Blue - eleven, 40-27, as the losers scored successive touchdowns in the latter stages of the contest to come within two goals of catching the Whites. Splitting his first two elevens in half, Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler started his first string backfield be- hind a second team line and his top linesmen in front of a reserve back- field, instead of following the prece- dent set in last week's game, when the leading candidates started for the Blues against a White junior varsity squad. Whites Never Headed The triumphant White eleven was never headed after it broke a 7-7 deadlock early in the game, which consumed two hours and 20 minutes ; of playing time. Although the vic- tors were successful in several, passI attempts, they reliedachiefly on run- ning plays in their attack. First blood was drawn by the Whites, after three fumbles, an ex- change of punts, an intercepted pass, and a fumble onutheir own two-yard line put the Blues in a vulnerable position. Walt Teninga, 17-year-old left halfback who scored four of last week's 10 touchdowns, took the ball across on a wide end sweep, and Capt. Joe Ponsetto converted success- fully. The Blues got the seven points back after a sustained drive by full- back Danny Dworsky, halfback War- ren Bentz, and tailback Wes Muel- der carried from the Blue32-yard line to the White six, where Dworsky took the ball over the middle to the goal. Ponsetto Goes Over The Whites roared back, with half- back Hank Fonde carrying the ball most of the way from his own 32 to the Blue 22, and Capt. Joe Ponsetto finding no receiver on a pass play, running the rest of the distance to scoring territory. The conversion was unsuccessful, and the score stood at 13-7. Another White score was regis- tered after two fumbles by the Blues placed the ball on the Blue 19. Ten- inga finally went over for the score on a double lateral play around right end. The conversion, again unsuc- cessful, put the score at 26-7. The Blues got their second touch- down to bring the count to 26-14, diving from the enemy 39 to the 27-yard line before Earl Albright went straight through the middle of the opposing line to paydirt. Dworsky Scores Secoftd Touchdown Several punt exchanges finally placed the ball on the White 12-yard line, where the leaders took over to march down the field on running plays by Dworsky, Pete Elliot, and Bentz until Dworsky went over from the eight-yard line, making the score 33-14. The final White Tally came when runs by Fonde and two successful passes to end Ed Bahlow, the last one a,41-yard touchdown heave, took the ball over the goal line.

Leonard was the complete master as he -won his 13th victory of the season. In the fourth inning he gave the Sox two hits, with Kerby Farrell scoring, and in the sixth he served a home run ball o Johnny Dickshot but the rest of the way Chicago did not even threaten. Meanwhile his mates were club- bing Orval Grove for seven hits and five runs in the first inning, and they continued the attack on Frank Papish, who came to Grove's rescue, during the next four frames, scoring six more runs.

The Indians scored all their runs in the first inning at the expense of starter Walt Dubiel, who was pum- melled off the mound without retir- ing a batter. A triple by Butch Mey- Minnesota Eliminates Intra-Squad Grid Game Bernie Bierman, head football coach at the University of Minne- sota, has announced that there will be no intra-squad football game at the end of this summer's practice. Bierman gave as his reasons the short time lie has to work with his men, and the limited amount of men he has to work with. Daily turnouts have been averaging less than 45 men. Of this number, 35 are newcomers, including 17 year old freshmen, Navy transfers who came on campus July 1, and discharged war veterans. Because of late classes which all navy men are enrolled in, Bierman must limit his drills to two hours a day. The all-out fall practice will begin September 3, and will include two workouts a day.nThe members of the team who are in the navy units on the campus will not be able to partake in contemplated morning drills.
