FRANCISCO-BOYCE 723 North University SPORTS NEWS + VIEWS + COMMENT By BILL MULLENDORE, Sports Editor Sports World Specialties . . THIS BEING THE last issue of The Daily for the summer term, and conse- ouently the last opportunity for us to occupy this space for two months, some observations on the current sports scene, both locally and nationally, are in order.' From the local angle, Michigan's fall football prospects loom as the most important bit of news on the horizon, although it will not be too many months before other sports begin to prepare for action. In the wider sphere of national interest, we have a pair of red-hot pen- nant races in the spotlight, together with a lot of speculation as to the role of returned servicemen in a variety of sports. Also to be noted in this connection is the opening of pro football practice at various spots over the nation. Not being given to making predictions, simply because people have a nasty habit of remembering when we are wrong and forgetting when we happen to be right, about the only thing we have to say about Michigan football is that the Wolverines will probably have a pretty fair outfit. That seems safe enough, since Michigan is not noted for poor football teams. WE WILL GO even farther and say that the 1945 aggregation will be as good as last year's although the season's record may not show it. The present squad boasts better all-around balance than the 1944 club and has displayed a remarkable esprit de corps that should prove very valuable. But we can't forget that schedule staring Coach H. O. (Fritz) Crisler's charges in the face. A team which must face, among others, Army, Navy, Great Lakes, Minnesota, Illinois, and Ohio State.has its work cut out for it. Just how well the job will be handled remains to be seen. Glancing at the Major League situation for an instant, we think it is a pretty safe bet that the Chicago Cubs will find themselves in a World's Series come fall. The St. Louis Cardinals have a chance, but their lack of consistency so far has not allowed them to capitalize on it. As for, the other six clubs, they will probably finish out the season, and that is about all to be said for their pennant hopes. Swinging over into the Junior Loop, we find one glorious rat race with any one of several clubs retaining a chance. Right now, the issue is squarely between Detroit and Washington, but the peculiar ups and downs of this zaniest of all flag chases still permits anything to happen. Of the two aforementioned teams, we happen to favor Detroit, but admittedly have little reason for doing so. And we wouldn't be at all surprised to see New York or Cleveland slip to the head of the pack before the final man has been retired for the campaign. LOOMING LARGER in long-run importance is the effect of the dis- charged servicemen on the sports scene. Its most important mean- ing to us is that Major League baseball may finally lose its war-time Minor League aspect, come 1946. Boxing, pro football, and almost all other sports should also get in on this rejuvenation process-we hope. As in other phases of American life, the 1945 sports scene has been a confusing one. World events have their reverberations in sport, and those reverberations have gone pretty deep in some respects. From this chaos may eventually emerge some sense of order. At any rate, we hope to see some sort of a return to normalcy by the time we resume operations in this corner in the fall. Tigers Stretch Lead to Whole Game; Beat A's Squeeze Play by Webb Highlights 4-3 Triumph DETROIT, Aug. 23-Thanks to a neatly executed squeeze play with Skeeter Webb at bat, the Detroit Tig- ers beat Philadelphia, 4 to 3, in the series final to boost their lead over the idle second-place Washington Senators to a full game. It was the second time this season that Webb had helped win a game with the squeeze. He turned the trick earlier in New York. The winning run was scored in the sixth when the teams were tied at 3-all. With one out in that frame, Roy Cullenbine walked. He sprinted to third on Rudy York's single to cen- ter. With this set-up, Webb bunted past Pitcher Don Black, Cullenbine scoring. Webb's bunt was so perfect that he beat the play without draw- ing a throw to first. Bob Swift then singled off Short- stop Ed Busch's glove to fill the bases but Pitcher Jim Tobin rapped into a double play. Tobin and his knuckle ball then proceeded to make that one run lead appear mountainous. He held the A's hitless the last three innings. Only two A's got on base during that time, one on an error and the other on a pass. In the earlier innings Tobin was having difficulty pitching to Bill Mc- Ghee and the latter was chiefly re- sponsible for all the A's runs. Mc- Ghee got three hits. I-M Games Delayed -/ By Session Exams Due to the fact that the summer session final exams are taking place during this week, the full schedule of I-M softball games was not played last Tuesday night. Eight of the 16 teams, however, did see action. In the American league, the RONAGS defeated the Sig Eps by the score of 9-7. Also in the Amer- ican League, Sigma Chi whipped Zeta Beta Tau by a 8-1 margin. The two games in the National league ended in the same scores. The Orioles won over Sigma Alpha Mu, 9-0 and the State Boys beat Fletcher Hall's Bingley's Bombers by the iden- tical tally. All games which were not played last night will be played off before the end of the week, the I-M office announced. fl - - aH 0 U AL 10 ~I 717 NOT NVRIYAEU U~afJ~> f)^.c {),f)C ?f* c f) ~c=) : F 7' 1 I I -- A Michigan's Stadium Is Largest Big Ten Bowl Michigan's football stadium, built in 1927 and capable of accommodat- ing 85,753 fans, is both the largest and second most recently construct- ed of the Big Ten stadia.
