The gentleman suffering the in- jury was' none other than Coach Charley Bachman, head football mentor at Michigan State College.

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.

Softball Plans For Summer Are Announced Tennis, Golf Tourneys Planned by Stackhouse An Intra-Mural softball league, similar to that of the spring term, is being planned for the summer term intramural program, Coach Chester Stackhouse announced Monday. Stockhouse stated, however, that the league depends on the interest shown. The league will be composed of any group on campus that wants to enter a team. This includes fra- ternities and independent groupsI that are interested. Plans were also made for a tennis tournament and for a golf tourna- ment. These will be individual meets and there will be no team competi- tion. CoachtStackhouse stressed the point that the plans for all of these three sports depend on the interest shown by the male student body. Nothing can be accomplished with- out the cooperation of the students.- Tennis Coach Leroy Weir will beI in charge of this part of the intra- mural program. All team managers wishing to enter teams in the softball league and all those interested in entering the golf or tennis tourna- ments should write, not phone, Coach Weir at the Intramural Sports build- ing as soon as possible.

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 Great Lakes. 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."

Mangouni 334 S. 4th Ave. : B, f 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.

WAft 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.
