a weeding out of candidates for the
'45-'46 squad around the middle of
August. Both civilian and Navy
trainees, he continued, are being
urged to appear for the workouts.

MSC Casualty
It was ,nnounced in Lansing yes-
terday that Michigan State's football
team suffered its first grid casualty.
The gentleman suffering the in-
jury was' none other than Coach
Charley Bachman, head football
mentor at Michigan State College.
As an after effect of his first day
on the drill field with the 1945 team,
Bachman reported with a lame back.
Assurance from trainer Jack Heppin-
stall, however, indicated that Bach-
man would be as good as new after
a brief treatment.

ward position. Harder, a starter dur-
ing later games last season, was a
former star at the University of West
Virginia before he was transferred to
Michigan in the V-12 unit. Gregor,
a Marine and regular left fielder for
two years on the baseball nine, played
in his first season of college basket-
ball last winter.
Although most of the candidates
are unknown at present, Glen Selbo,
guard for the Western Michigan cag-
ers last year, is expected to be a chal-
lenge for a starting position in the
fall.
All civilians and Navy men who are
interested in coming out for the sum-
mer practice are requested to sign
up with Mrs. Doherty in the Sports
Building main office sometime before
the end of this week. Practices,
which will be held three days a week,
will last from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

any man who has at least part of
that time free is eligible for the
squad.

boys have done very well for themselves. Coach Art Valpey, who last year
guided the junior varsity through
their games, is again at the helm of
the "Whites," and will continue to
work with the boys. As they show
promise, they will get their chance
to move up with the varsity squad.
At this early date, however, coach
Crisler is drawing no line, and every-
one is receiving his attention, as the
coaching staff continues its search
for a smooth-working combination.
Drills, which get underway at 3:00
(EWT), will be held through Friday
this week, and will continue on until
the middle of August. After a two
week layoff, the squad will again
start the fall sessions in preparation
for the season opener Sept. 15 with

A government official in
Washington states that it is
expected that stenographers
and other specialized office
workers, such as are trained in
business schools, are certain to
be in continuing demand after
the war.
The record shows that the
same situation prevails in pri-
vate business - in the offices
ofnindustry, commerce, and
r finance. Even during the de-
pression, business school grad-
uates were in demand.
The number of women clerical
workers increased from 187,053 in
1960 to 3,655,274 in 1940- 29.2 per
cent of all employed women. The
"'vocational Trends" magazine
states: "Postwar prospects for office
workers look good. The trend of
employment is upward."
At present, the demand for busi-
ness-trained young people is much
greater than the supply.

The result of all this has been that Dodgers have been winning
most of their games by scores of 12-10, 15-11, 9-8, and so on. High
scoring slugfests have been the rule rather than the exception. One
wonders if they can hold the pace. Walker is a fairly dependable
man with the bat, but Olmo and Rosen are relative unknown quanti-
ties who may relax at any time. And once their hitting falls off, the
Bums from Brooklyn are bound to skid.
Who will take their place? The Cubs have it now by a one-game mar-
gin. New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Boston are all in the running.
On form, the Cardinals are the best of the lot, but pennants are rarely
won on form. At any rate, the National League race should have plenty
of thrills right down to the final week of play if things go on at the present
rate.

WASHINGTON, July 10-(P)-Leo
Durocher went all out today in his
admiration of Big Bill Nicholson,
slugging Chicago Cub outfielder.
The baldish, talkative Brooklyn
manager told The Touchdown Club
at a $5-a-plate luncheon that "Nich-
olson ought to be in a league by him-
self." Leo was the principal and
only speaker.
"Every time he swings this bat it
has a menacing swish," Durocher
said, "and when he connects, he sim-
ply flattens the ball. That guy's like
a big beast. He ought to. be in a
league by himself."
Later, when asked for his All-Star
National League selections, Durocher
named Nicholson at the top of his
list.
