Homers J PERATION PIGSKIN D-DAY... INDIANA By DICK KRAUS FOR THE LAST TWO seasons Hoosierland lightning has struck down Michigan's Conference title hopes, and wise old Bo McMillin is already priming his Indiana eleven for that Saturday next Fall when he aims to 4make it three in a row. From the look of things the Conference title might well be decided on that first week-end when Michigan opens its campaign against the Hoosiers. McMillin has almost everything back from the eleven which last Fall proved too much for the rest of the Big Nine. Despite the fact that he has lost Bob Ravensburg and Ted Kluszew- ski, a combination which rated with Navy's Bramlett-Duden duo as the best end pairs in the land last Fall, McMillin's flank situa'tion will not be too greatly weakened. One end spot, in fact, may even be strengthened. The return of Chick Jagade and Hugh "Knocky" McKinnis, two pile driving fullbacks from. pre- war days, will enable McMillin to re-convert Pete Pihos, an All-American end in the Bill Hilenbrand era. Pihos moved into the backfield last Fall to bolsler a line bucking and backing deficiency. To go along with him the Hoosiers will have Ted Hasapes, '41-'42 Frank Hoppe, '44 starter, Pooney. Carter, '42 freshman standout, Larry Napolitan, Al Peterson, and Richard Frank, who alternated at end and tackle in '44. IN THE CENTER of the line Indiana is the same as last year except for one major improvement. Johnny Cannady, named by McMillin as the finest line backer seen at Indiana in the last decade, is expected to recover from a knee operation, performed last Winter, and resume activity at cen- ter. Al Horn is the best bet for number two man rating at the pivot post. From tackle to tackle every '45 Hoosier is back and ready to stave off challenges from a host of aspiring Vets for starting jobs. The, line which rated among the Nation's finest defensive units'last Fall saw Russ Deal and Johnny Goldsberry at the tackles, Howard Brown and Joe So- winski at the guards. Carl Nestor, Ed Sidwell, John Kokos, Frank Ciolli, and John Wade are around to push the incumbents for regular status and to provide reserve power for the Hoosier middle. In the backfield, McMillin's major problem is that of replacing All Conference George Taliaferro, the negro tailback ace. Big George's loss may remove somte of the power from Indiana's backfield, but no speed will be lost. Jim Dewar, an important member of the 1943 College All-Stars, and Bob Cowan, '42 sophomore speedster, are in a battle for Taliaferro's old job. Both are exceptionally fast and excellent pass catchers. The pass receiving ability is vital because McMillin always manages to come up-with one of the Nation's best tossers, as wtiness Bigy Hildenbrand and Hunchy Hoernschmeyer. This season is no exception, and in Hoosier- land any statement hinting that Brooklyn Ben Raimondi isn't the finest short Passer in the collegiate football world borders on treason. After his performance last Fall even non-Hoosiers admit that the Indiana quarter- back rates with the best. In addition he is a brilliant field general. FOR RIGHT HALF duty, the 1945 alternates are still on hand in Dick Deranek and Mel Groomes, a pair who battled to no decision for exclusive rights to the job all last season. By The Associated Press DEROIT, Aug. 15-Two home runs by shortstop Eddie Lake and another by center fielder Walter (Hoot) Evers enabled Hal Newhouser to carve out his fifth shutout and 21st pitching victory of the season today as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Chicago White Sox '3 to 0. Newhouser's four-hit pitching exactly reversed the tables on Lefty Ed Lopat of the Chisox, who hurled a four-hitter in handing Hal his fifth defeat, 3 to 0, last Sunday in Chicago.

I Jagade and McKinnis will give the Hoosiers better line smashing than Pihos could provide last Fall. Jagade, a 204 pounder averaged bet- ter than four yards per try as a 17-year-old freshman in '44, while McKinnis did even better with a 5.32 average in '42 competition. Neither boy may be the equal of Pihos as a blocker or line-backer but Hoosiers insist that no one in the country last Fall was either. There has been no official word from the Indiana camp that Pihos will go back to end this Fall, but the return of Jagade and McKinnis and the loss of Ravensberg arid Kluszewski make it seem like a logical move. This squad should be as tough as the one which ranked third in the na- tion last year and its reserve strength is much greater than that available in '45. There never was a M'cMillin coached team that wasn't tough, even in the lean years, in spite of the perennial wail about "Bo's Pore Li'l Boys." For 1946 as in 1945 it seems to be more a case of "Bo's Pore Li'l Opponents." * * r Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE "r1 ELLIS ARNALL MELVIN PURVIS BRIG. GEN.
