S 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; Events Today Stage Play presented by the Department of Speech: "The Glass Menagerie," fragile, poig- nant drama by Tennessee Wil- liams, voted the best Broadway play of the 1944-45 season.

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.
