SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1945- THE MICHIGAN DATLY Travel Restrictions Lifted from Nation's Sports MICIIJGAN A LL-A MERICANS: Football Past Ranks With Best in Country Michigan's football history down through the years has been charac- terized by teams and players of a high calibre, many Big Ten and my- thical national championships, and the placing of quite a few stars on the annual All-American eleven. As the Wolverines have been one of the leading and most powerful members of the Western Conference, the nation's gridiron stronghold, for many seasons, they rank with the best aggregations ever produced on the American football scene. In the fifty years the Conference has been in existence, Michigan has walked away with 14 titles, winning four in a row from 1901-1904, and again from 1930-1933. Winning Record Since the first Maize and Blue squad stepped out on to the gridiron in 1879, 'M' teams have won 368 games, including two national cham- pionships in 1932 and '33, lost 95, and have ended 21 contests in a tie. This amazing record can be attributed in part to work done by such notewor- MSC Football Drills Ended 17-Year Old Stars in Final Intra-Squad Tilt EAST LANSING, Aug. 17-()-A half veteran White team defeated the newcomer Green jersied team, 27-0. in a final intra-squad scrimmage to- day winding up the Michigan State College summer football practice ses- sion. About 1,000 fans were on hand at Macklin Field for a first look at the new material for coach Charley Bach- man's 1945 Spartan combination. All previous M.S.C. drills have been clos- ed to the public. The Spartans will open fall football practice Sept. 4 in preparation for the season opener against Michigan Sept. 29. Although the White squad was bol- stered by five lettermen, Bob Lud- wig, 17-year-old halfback from Mus- kegon turned in the best perform- ance of the afternoon, scoring two of the touchdowns and tossing two of the touchdown passes. He also kick- ed three points after touchdown. Other mainstays in the White ele- ven were lettermen Bob Godfrey and Bob Lamssies, guards, Brady Sulli- van, center, Dick Massuch, right end and Freshmen Kent Esbaugh, big tackle from Grand Rapids, Dominic Conti, quarterback from Niagara Falls, N. Y., and Fred Aronson, end from Chicago. Night Game NATIONAL LEAGUE St. Louis.......000 101 000-2 8 0 Philadelphia ...001 000 20x-3 8 2 C. Barrett and O'Dea; R. Bar- rett and Seminick.

Add to this another laurel, that of the 49-0 drubbing of Stanford-in the 1902 Rose Bowl, and you have one of the finest records in the history of the game. The success of Michigan teams has been aided no little by the perform- ances of the many stars that have been chosen on the mythical dream team-the All-American. All told, there have been 28 Wolverines, repre- senting every position, selected for this eleven. Of these, only one, Ben- nie Oosterbaan, present line coach, was chosen for three years in a row, from 1925-27. Albert Benbrook, a guard, made the team in 1909 and 1910. Halfback Willie Heston, of Rose Bowl fame represented Michigan on the '03 and '04 All-Americans and the ever-popular Tom Harmon re- ceived this distinction in 1939 and 1940. Former coach Harry Kipke was a halfback on the 1922 team. Wistert Brother Act Adolph (Germany) Schulz, often called th father of the modern center techniqu , gained. a berth on the '07 eleven. The list of 'M"All-Amer- icans even contains a brother act- the Wisterts. Francis made it in 1933 and "little" brother Al turned the trick in '42. Both boys played tackle. Al's running mate at guard, Julie Franks, was also represented in the '42 squad. The end who caught Harmon's passes, Ed Frutig, made the '40 ele- ven, and Oosterbaan's pass-thrower, Benny Friedman, was All-American in 1926. More recent Wolverines to, receive this honor were guard Ralph; Heikkinen '38, tackle Merv Pregul- man '43, and fullbacks Bob Westfall '41, and Bill Daley '43. Gopher Eleven, Uses Veterans The 1945 University of Minnesota football squad which Coach Bernie Bierman hopes will include 16 let- termen for the opener against Mis- souri Sept. 22 will be largely a veter- an team in two respects.gy Ten of the leading candidates have' honorable discharges from the Army,i Navy, or Marine Corps. In fact, if the1 Gophers could borrow a couple ofj tackles and one end, the vets of World War II could field quite a for- midable eleven of their own.1 Tigers Lose To Senators Haef.er Allows Seven Hits, Cuts Detroit Lead By The Associated Press DETROIT, Aug. 17-The Washing- ton Senators trimmed Detroit's Amer- ican League lead to 21% games today as Mickey Haefner outpitched Frank (Stubby) Overmire in a duel of left- handers and the Nats edged the Ti- gers, 3-1. Haefner gave seven hits and pitch- ed his way out of several trouble- some spots to record his 12th win. Overmire yielded nine blows in tak- ing his ninth defeat. Detroit took a one-run lead in the first inning when Skeeter Webb and Roger Cramer singled ahead of Hank Greenberg's double, but Buddy Lewis hammered his first home run since his release from the Army Air Forces to tie it up in the fourth. Decided in Sixth Bobby Maier's error on Harlond Clift's grounder set the stage for Washington to punch across the win- ning run in the sixth as Fred Vaughn singled to center and Rick Ferrell bounced a hit off Maier's glove. Singles by Ferrell, Gil Torres and Mike Kreevich accounted for the third Senator tally in the ninth. The Tigers lost an extra run in the first when Webb tried to score from second on Cramer's short single to center and was thrown out by Kreevich. Detroit Muffs Two Chances Rudy York led off the second inn- ing with a hit but didn't get past first and Maier's fourth inning triple with one away meant nothing as he was rubbed out trying a double steal with Overmire, who had walked. Detroit had another chance in the sixth when Greenberg led off the inning with his second double but Hank was caught between second and third a moment later and tagged out by Joe Kuhel as four Washington infielders took part in the chase. Only other Detroit batter to reach first safely in the last five innings was Cramer, who was hit by a pitched ball in the eighth. Haefner fanned five Tigers and walked two, one intentionally. Over- mire's only strikeout victim was Kree- vich, leading off in the first inning. By winning the third game of the series before a crowd of 14,770 paid, Washington assured itself of nothing worse than an even break in its cur- rent stop at Briggs Stadium. Removalof ODT Control Assures World Series Johnson,.Bureau Head, Praises Voluntary Cooperation of Athletic Leaders in Wartime By BUS 1IAM Associated Press Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 17--The government today completely took its hands off sports with a blanket removal by the ODT of all travel restrictions affecting athletic events. Now, for the first time since feeling the pinch of wartime conditions, the sports field is free to go merrily on its way toward a great peacetime expansion, with athletic leaders highly pleased over the relaxation. ODT's action definitely assures the holding of the 1945 World Series, 13 non-championship professional football games, fall and winter horse racing, post-season college football.- -- games, bowling meets and other events on the one-time doubtful list.r_ Johnson Makes Announcement Major Lea gie Col.

TIME OUT!--Ensign Ernest Petoskey (eft) and Marine Lieutenant Paul White, teammates on the 1943 Michigan football squad, meet unexpectedly "Somewhere in the Pacific." They both plan to return to the University after the war. -Official U. S. Marine Corps Photo * * * * * * UNDER ENEMY FIRE:- Petoskey Compares Football Experiences to Navy Action Ensign Ernest Jack Petoskey, home on a five-day leave, compared swim- ming into a beachhead under enemy fire while towing a raft and demoli- tion explosives to the football he played in 1943 as end on the Michi- gan eleven. Petoskey, a veteran of Brunei Bay, Balikpapan, and Okinawa, was a demolition group leader in each of Gwolf Touney Field Narrowed to Four Results of the Trueblood Golf Tour- nament so far show the elimination of 12 of the 16 original competitors.

The thrill felt after making a good block, Petoskey added, is also part of a military opera- tion. Dangerous Job As group leader of a demolition team. Petoskey and his men faced the task of clearing the way for landing craft by blowing up Jap-planted ob- structions, mine fields, and other bar- riers. The Dearborn football player was not the only athlete on the demo- lition squad. Each man was a picked athlete, trained to swim over long periods and to work under water from 10 to 90 ft. deep. Each member of the demolition crew had to swim into enemy fire towing the explosives planted to hinder the landing of am- phibious forces. Petoskey and his group worked as long as four days without sleeping, and were often required to remain in the water under aerial or shore attack for six or seven hours.
