IT'S GOOD TO SEE that tough-luck Gene Derricotte
to the Collegiate All-Star team that will square
Philadelphia Eagles come August 12 in Chicago.
has been named
off against the
Gene was a very good halfback in his four years at Michigan,
good enough at 17 to be a first-stringer on the 1944 team, that
lost the Western Conference championship in the final game of
the season, good enough to be called "the finest safety man I
have ever coached" by Fritz Crisler, good enough to be rated as
the leading All-American candidate on a team thatw as destined
to win the National Championship last year.
He had ever asset necessary for an All-American rating. Tremen-
dous speed, an amazing change of pace, kicking ability, passing ability,
Gene had them all. He seldom missed on pass defense and he was one
of the surest tacklers in the business. They never got by Derricotte.
But Fate just couldn't see Gene achieving the honor he 'de-
served. An ankle injury cut down his effectiveness in the final
games of the 1944 season to almost nothing. He didn't last out
the first half of that final, and as usual "crucial" tilt with Ohio
State.
After a hitch in the Army he returned to Michigan in 1946
only to run into a broken nose and a dimpled ex-flier from his home
state of Ohio named Bob Chappuis who had designs on Gene's
old halfback post. Derricotte started as many games as Chappuis
did that year, but Chappuis was busy running up a new Conference
ground-gaining record and garnering most of the headline space
in the doing.
1947 saw Gene installed as defensive quarterback in Fritz
Crisler's two-platoon system which was to revolutionize football.
Crisler will quickly testify to the quality of the quiet Negro's
work, but they don't give headlines to a defensive back. There
wasn't much room anyhow after the exploits of Chappuis, Elliott
and company had been divulged to the reading public.
The door to fame slammed right in Gene's face last season.
Almost a lead pipe cinch for All-American honors according to pre-
season dopesters, Gene was carried off thef ield with a wrenched
and twisted knee in the season opener at Michigan State. His replace-
ment was Charley Ortmann, a blond sophomore who was, being
compared to the immortal Tom Harmon by the time he had com-
pleted two games of actual competition.
DERRICOTTE SOON HOBBLED DOWN to practice but he wasn't
ready to go again until the Minnesota game mid-way through the
season. Returning to action at Minneapolis, his knee tightly bandaged,
Gene went down for a punt in the first quarter. He bent, but his
knee wouldn't. He kicked the ball with his stiff leg and it: rolled
over the goal line where Minnesota's massive Leo Nomellini fell on
it for a touchdown that gave the Gophers a 7-0 lead.
Gene's teammates were incensed, not at Gene but at the
break that had cast him in the role of "goat." Back in.the huddle
they slapped him on the back and told him to forget it. They
took up the battle cry "let's get one for Gene" and they made it
plus three more for good measure. Bennie Oosterbaan insists
that it was the break that turned the tide and won theg ame.
It takes a mighty popular boy to stir up his teammates in that
fashion after booting one that could have mneant the Big Nine title
and an end of a long winning streak.
So when Gene gets his chance before the 100,000 plus fans
who jam Soldier's Field for the yearly All Star classic I think I'll
be rooting just a little harder than usual for one of those patented
hip-weaving, pace-changing broken field runs that Gene was
famous for while laboring under the shadows of Chappuis and
the injury jinx. I'd like to hear 100,000 people cheering him on.
I think the guy deserves it.
D)UGIN:
Bums Meet
Cards for
Big Series
Brooklyn has its chance to
lengthen its National League lead
which now measures only a half
game on St. Louis. The Dodgers
dig in at Ebbets Field for 13
games, winding up with a big four-
game set with the Cardinals. Those
four games and three more the
next week in St. Louis loom as the
most important dates on the
schedule so far this summer.
Cincinnati leads the western
delegates into Ebbets Field where
the Reds haven't won a game this
year in six starts. After that it's
Chicago, Pittsburgh and St. Louis
in order.
THE CARDS open against the
Phillies who hold a 7-5 edge over
them for the 'season. After Phila-
delphia, St. Louis hits New York
and Boston, each for three games,
before the big four in Brooklyn.
St. Louis has won 35 of its last 50
games
HOT TIP:
Cleveland
Big Threat
To Yankees
NEW YORK - (P) -Watch out
for Cleveland was the tip passed
around press headquarters by the
baseball writers covering the All-
Star game and major league meet-
ings.
The world champion Indians,
making their move from way back
like stymie used to do, have been
passing teams for a month. Now
they're second, 5% games back of
New York.
NOBODY UNDERRATES the
Yankees, who have been out front
since opening day. With Joe Di-
Maggio playing every day, they
definitely are the team to beat.
The Boston Red Sox also draw
strong support for their current
seven-game win streak after
breaking an eight-game losing
slump. Joe McCarthy's Sox are
still fourth, 812 games off the
pace but now only a game and
a half behind the faltering Phil-
adelphia A's;

Lightweight football has been discontinued as a Western Con-
ference athletic activity.
The 150-pound variety of gridiron activity, sponsored by four
Western Conference schools: Illinois, Ohio State, Wisconsin and
Michigan has been dropped because of lack of interest at other Big
Ten schools and heavy travel costs.

Parker Moves
To Clay Court
Quarter-Finals
CHICAGO--O('-Veteran Frank
Parker, gunning for his sixth title,
advanced to the quarter - final
round of the National Clay Courts
Tennis Championship tourney to-
day and Pancho Gonzales, a fel-
low Californian, moved ahead w ith
him.
Parker, the steady ma of 20-
years of tournament tnii =., blast-
ed Clarke Taylor, Chapel Bill, N.
C., 6-1, 6-3, 6-1, in a third round
match at River Forest Tennis Club.
The Los Angeles ace, who won the
Spring Lake N.J. Invitational sin-
gles title on Monday for the 10th
time, played under wraps today
and let Taylor make the errors.
* *.*
GONZALES, THE defending
champion, also from Los Angeles,
eliminated Keston Deimling Jr.,
of the host club, 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.
Gonzales, seeded No. 1, had too
much speed for his less experienc-
ed foe and forced him into many
errors.
Parker is seeded No. 2. He
was absent a year ago when
Gonzales won the title.
OTHER THIRD round winners
in the men's singles included Vic
Seixas, Philadelphia, who defeat-
ed Jack Sunderland, Indianapolis,
6-3, 6-2, 6-1; Herbert Flam, Bev-
erly Hills, Calif., who downed Dix-
on Osburn, Dallac, Tex., 6-1, 6-2,
6-3, and Hugh Stewart, Pasadena,
Calif., who eliminated Herb Beh-
rens, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 6-3,
6-2, 8-6.
and promoting the sport were will-
ing to continue next season.
In announcing the discon-
tinuing of the 150-pound game
Stuhldreher stated, "Wisconsin
regrets very much that it must
discontinue 150 pound varsity
football which has been so suc-
cessful here.
"When the four schools began
150 pound football in 1947, it was
hoped that the other schools would
soon join in to make more com-
patible schedules, but, after two
years of sponsorship, the fact that
no other institution responded, it
was agreed among the four of us
th1 ati it was not feasible to con-
tinue on with the sport."
* *' *
CLIFF KEEN, who coached the
Michigan 150-pounders to two co-
championships with Wisconsin, ex-
pressed strong regrets at hte dis-
continuation of the lightweight
game. Stating that plans for a
game with powerful Navy had
been dropped, he announced that
there would be no team formed for
the fall season.
"I've written all the boys (the
Wolverine team was returning
practically intact) and I'm sure
that they will be bitterly disap-
pointed," Keen said. "I've never
coached a team in my 24 years at
Michigan that had so much spirit
and which so completely exempli-
fied the spirit of Michigan as
those boys did."
Of the Western Conference
schools not represented in the
league, only Indiana and Purdue
had evidenced interest in the
sport HoweverdMichigan State was
making plans to field a team, per-
haps as soon as next season.
Those plans will probably be
dropped.
