First Defensive Practice Held
By Wolverine Football Squad'
Team To
Pro able
Play Four Intra-Squad Contests;
Starters Narrow to Field of 26
By MARY LU HEATH
Defensive drills claimed first place on the docket of Michigan gridiron
business yesterday as the Wolverine "first string" Blue team switched
'from the offense for the first time this summer in a late afternoon scrim-
mage.
Head Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler appeared satisfied with the team's
showing during the first two and a half weeks of practice, stating that the
squad had made considerable progress since the summer drills have started.
"Although the team is very green ate
this point, and will be jumpy in its
first games next fall," he said, "it will
improve as game conditions provide
more chance to gain experience."
Crisler announced a four-game
intra-squad schedule during August
and September which will give the
team a chance to practice in the
Stadium before the season curtain-
raiser with Great Lakes here Sep-
tember 15. These games, which will
be open to the public, will take
place Aug. 4 and 11 and Sept. 1
and 8.r
Comparing the present grid hope-
fuls with last year's crop, Crisler
pointed out that as a team, the '45
aggregation is slower and less exper-
ienced than last summer's outfit. He
added, however, that this year will
see a colorful, scrappy eleven, num-
bering among its members several
17-year olds, take the field for Mich-
igan.
The only man now sure of a
berth is Capt. Joe Ponsetto, who
will play quarterback this year,
Crisler said. The ten remaining
starters will be picked from about
26 men who comprise the first
and second string squads now, he
continued. At present, these two
teams are being shifted into first
string play at will, as the coaches
look the candidates over at differ-
ent positions.
Line positions changed hands fre-
quently in yesterday's defensive drill,
with John Lintol, veteran center,
shifting to left tackle for the first
time this year. Another letterwinner
at center, Harry Watts, held down
his regular spot.
Lack Sufficient
Softball Entries
For IM Leaguel
Few Sign for Tennis
Summer Competition
Intra-Mural softball entries have
not come in sufficient quantities to
warrant a league this summer Coach
Stackhouse announced Monday.
At that time there had been only
two teams entered in the league.
Those teams were a Navy team from
Lloyd House in the West Quad and
Sigma Alpha Mu, a fraternity team.
The golf and tennis entries show
equally poor records. As of Monday,
there had been only one entry in the
tennis competition and two entries in
the golf tournament. "This number
of entries does not warrant the hold-
ing of either tournament," Stackhouse
said.
Student Body Dormant
"The athletic department is not
trying to force softball, golf and ten-
nis competition on the student body,
but is willing to cooperate with the
students if they want such activities.
At this time it does not seem that
they want them. More interest must
be shown if there is to be any I-Mj
program this summer."
All teams and persons desiring to
enter any of the three sports com-
petitions must contact Coach Weir
by mail at the Intra-Mural Sports
Building as soon as possible."

Chicago, July 18-P)-The Brook-j

comeback attempt, 9-5, after the
league-leading Chicago Cubs tri-
umphed 5-0 in .the opener of a twin
bill today witnessed by the largest

The split left the Bruins three and

Eight pitchers paraded to the
mound in the nightcap which the
Dodgers cinched with two big in-
nings-the sixth in which the Brooks

with a four-run attack, and the sev-
enth in which Dixie Walker belted
a three-run double.
