QUINTETS ILL START THIS WEEK Albion's Champions Face Detroit Olivet Plays in Battle Creek. KALAMAZOO (JP) All six Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic association colleges open their 1936-37 basketball seasons this week. Olivet's Comets will open the season Wednesday night at Battle Creek college.

Early practices in the M. I. A. A. circuit have given little hint as to which teams are stronger.

Albion's defending champions have veterans on hand for four positions, and Olivet has lost only two plaj-ers from the team which bowed to the Britons in last season's playoff. Albion's champs will inaugurate their season Friday night engaging the Northern W. M. C. A.

Louis Branch Rickey, vice president and general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball club, indicated today that Pitcher "Dizzy" Dean might be traded within the next two weeks. He modified his statements to the extent that such a deal might not go through at all. either during the baseball conventions or during the remaining winter months. statement said.

"Suddenly our East Lansing friends drop us like a hot potato. Why? They have refused to make, any explanation and it has been said they are shielding us. That may be then- good intention, but it doesn't work, out that way. "In the absence of a specific reason, the public is left to infer all sorts of things. We would much rather have Michigan State say in plain words why we are no longer welcome." The two schools have not played in two years.

7 TO Furey Races Back with Stanford's" Opening Kick-Off For Touchdown. NEW YORK (P) Co-Capt. George Furey's 79-yard run back of the opening kickoff gave Columbia a 7-0 victory over Stanford on the frozen snow-swept gridiron of the Polo Grounds Saturday. Using only 14 men as they did in the Rase Bowl three years ago, the Lions also duplicated the score of that memorable New Year's day battle in the mud. Just as "Rose Bowl AT Barabas was the hero for Columbia in Pasadena, so was Furey.

last of a famous Lion football family, the solo star today. He drove straight down the gridiron untouched before most of the 20,000 shivering fans had reached their seats, and he cooled the last of Stanford's numerous desperate passes in the closing moments. Stanford power, booted in gum-soled basketball shoes and equipped with chemical hand warmers, carried the show from the half time intermission to the beginning of the final quarter. Stanford threw 32 passes, but completed only four while Columbia w-hich relied most of the season on the passing of Sophomore Sid Luck-man, tossed only eight, but completed three and ontgained the Indians, 65 yards to 59. overhead.

Neither team was able to fashion any effective running attack on the frigid turf. Stanford out-yarded the New Yorkers. 120 to 86. Stark Ritchie Among Wolverine 'Iron Men' Of 1936 Grid Season ANN ARBOR JP) Capt. Matt Patanelli, Elkhart, and Cedric Sweet, Fremont, paced nine Michigan iron men who participated in every game of the Wolverine 1936 schedule statistics compiled Saturday disclosed.

Both are seniors. Patanelli, earning his third varsity letter at end, failed to maintain his record of the 1935 season, in which lie missed but eight minutes of play. Sweet, veteran fullback, played the entire Illinois game and missed less than 10 minutes each of four other contests. Other iron men were Patanelli's fellow townsman and successor as captain, Joe Rinaldi; John Jordan. Rinaldi's sophomore understudy at center; Bill Barclay, Flint, and Louis Levine, Muskegon Heights, who shared quarterbacking duties George Marzonie, Flint, and Clar ence Vanderwater, Holland, sopho more guards, and Stark Ritchie, Battle Creek, halfback.

noted list Horton Cmith of Chicago, and Jimmy Hines, of Garden City, L. I. were three strokes back of pace-setting Manero with 36-hole totals of 143. Densmore (Denny) Shute. of Boston, recently-crowned champion of the professionals in the Pinehurst battle, put together rounds of 72 for a total of 144 and filth place in the half-way Middies' Punting Ace Plunges Over Cadet Line in Last Period.

ARMY'S FUMBLES COSTLY PHILADELPHIA (JP) It was the Navy by a touchdown and a courtmartial. As a record eastern football throng of 102,000 spectators shivered stnd resigned themselves to the bleak prospect of a scoreless tie, the shelkhocked Midshipmen rode out cf the grey gloom of gigantic municipal stadium Saturday to seize a decisive break on illegal pass interference and ride it and the Army mule to a 7 to 0 triumph. With only three minutes of the hectic battle left to go. The break, like so many that have decided big games and caused heated arguments this year, capped a 73-yard march that brought victory to the Midshipmen and left Henry Sullivan, youthful Cadet from Mt. Stirling, the "goat" of the game.

For it was Sullivan, by quirk of fate, who was adjudged guilty of illegal Interference on a 17-yard pass tossed by Bill Ingram a break that gave the Midshipmen the ball on the Army three, first down, from which point Sneed Schmidt of St. Joseph. took the pigskin over after three terrific blasts at the heroic but battered Army line. Ingrain, scion of a famous Navy family, added the extra point from placement. Middies Shoved About Navy had been pushed and trampled all over the green-tinted grass before the complexion changed with such lightning rapidity and the Middies drove to victory with the aid of not one but two pass interference rulings.

Here's how it happened: The Middies halted the Cadets in the fourth on their 28 when big Jim Craig fumbled and Schmidt recovered for the Navy. Ingram braved a pass. Jimmy Schwenck, Cadet fullback, batted the ball down, but the field judge. E. E.

Miller of Penn State, ruled illegal interference on the play and Navy gained six yards. Schmidt and Ingram passed and drove the Cadets back with a steady drive until a pass to Irwin Fike put the ball on Army's 20. Ingram then threw a low pass to his left to Bob Antrim. Sullivan gauged the play and batted the ball, plucking it from the anon the Army three. At first, the referee started to bring the ball back to Army's 20 but Field Judge Miller rushed in, called the penalty, and Navy found the door open to its second victory In three years and 14th In the glamorous series that began in 1890.

Goes Over on Third Try It wasn't easy for the line-shattering Schmidt from there on but the broken Cadets had to give. On the first plunge, Schmidt didn't gain an Inch: on the second he picked up a grudging two yards, and on the third he dove high over his left guard and it was over as the whie-capped Middy throng went into a frenzy of exultation. With more power in the "concentration camp" that stone wall region within 20 yards of the goal they never could cross the Cadets might have turned the struggle, fought before th second biggest crowd in th series' history, into a rout. With their elusive bundle of human TNT. 145-pound Monk Meyer, turning in spectacular runs, the Cadets drove to the Midshipmen's 13-yard line in the first period only to be stopped by great defensive work by six-foot Irwin Fike, Navy end from Normal.

111. In the second period, the Mule's charges drove the Middie back to their 36. to their 3 and seven-yard stripes. Meyer failed only by inches to make first down on Navy's 3-yard line as Army's best chance faded. A magnificent 70-yard punt by the versatile Schmidt helped the Navy's defense.

Army Fumbles Chances Fumbles were costly to Army's chances in the third quarter and Craig fumbled away Army's opportunity to go places in the final period with the Cadets driving hard just inside Navy's 30. This paved the way for the triumphant Navy march. Yet the Middies, fighting with their backs to the wall mast of the afternoon, fired several devastating salvos as Ingram and Schmidt crossed up with beautiful runs. Taking the kickoff. the future Admirals traveled by air and ground for 57 yards to the Army 33 before they were stopped.

Aided by Schmidt's long kick and an 18-yard pass from Ingram to Antrim, they were chugging away on Army's 22 as the first half ended. The Army Internationa! Bowling Champions Roll 3,094 at Main Recreation. ALSO WIN IN AFTERNOON Strohs Bohemians from Detroit, internationally famous bowling team, captured two exhibition matches in Battle Creek Saturday. The Detroit ten-pin aces defeated the local Strohs team of the Brewers league in the afternoon by a 2.909 pins to 2.319 score.

Eddie Hartke, filling in for the absent Johnny Crimmons in the No. 4 spot on the Detroit team, was the star of the two exhibitions with three-game series of 649 and 658 for a six-game total of 1,307.

Jack Reynolds vs. Lawrence Kelley. Right End, Vale LOUISIANA STATE DRUBS TULANE BT 33-0 SCORE Tigers Strengthen Hopes for Rose Bowl Bid Against Green Wave. BATON ROUGE, La. Louisiana State university retained its southeastern title for another year and bolstered its Rose Bowl bid Saturday by stampeding through Tulane, its old football foe.

33 to 0. before a crowd of 48,000 that smashed the southern grid attendance record. It hail set itself the task of running up a score in line with the 34-7 count Alabama, its rival for Rose Bowl honors, ran up on Tulane, and neatly called the shot. Scoring on speed and pass plays. Tinsley, Milner, Reed and Rohm, did the scoring with fine blocking and driving assistance from Crass and Coffee.

The victory was overwhelming, but never became a rout. Time and again play was nip and tuck, and Tulane was trying hard to score until the final gun. fumbles gave Navy additional chances in the third but the Middies couldn't cash in. As the game ended, Ingram nipped Army's last desperate aerial attack by intercepting Craig's pass In Navy territory and running the ball on four plays to Army's 43 as the tussle ended. Tlie elusive Meyer played the second and third period and five minutes of the final.

His kicking was excellent but his famed passes were ineffective largely due to the Naw which rushed him badly. Official statistics slightly favored the Cadets. Both picked up 13 first downs but Army gained 214 yards by rushing and 91 yards by passes for a grand total yardage of 305 as against 151 yards by rushing and 97 yards by passing for a combined Navy total of 248 yards Lineups: ARM ioi Preston Eriksen AVY 7 Snurek Ferral Dubois Miller Morrell iCt Hvsnne Fike Incram Antrim Schmidt LT. -C.

It is particularly difficult this season, which ran to balance and team play But, through the collaboration of the best coaching brains in America and the advice, assistance, and suggestions of scouts, players, and writers, NEA Service believes it has done the job in the fairest and most representative manner possible. Sports writers have more confidence in the job of selecting an All-America array this fall, anyway after the shellacking taken by the political dopesters and straw-voters earlier in the month. Larry Kelley of Yale and Ray Buivid of Marquette have been the outstanding players of the campaign. Like Dizzy Dean, Kelley has made a habit of making good good-natured boasts, and succeeds in so doing again in being named right end and captain of the 1936 All-America. He said that there couldn't be an All-America without him.

Charley Bachman and others who knew and saw George Gipp actually go back to that immortal Notre Dame back in describing Buzz Buivid. flying and pitching halfback of Marquette. Kelley and Buivid were unanimous choices. So were Sam Francis, shotputting Nebraska fullback, and Gaynell Tinsley of Louisiana, who makes the grade at end with that much to spare for the second consecutive year. Edward Goddard of Washington State and Slingin' Sam Baugh of Texas Christian round out the backfield.

Ed Widseth of Minnesota and Averell Daniell of Pittsburgh are the tackles. Capt. Stephen Reid of Northwestern is awarded one of the guard positions with the selectors going to Denver University for the other in the person of Alex Drob-nitch. Alex Wojciechowicz of the impregnable Fordham line is the center at the risk of alienating the affections of every linotype operator in the land. All-America Tinsley Improves TINSLEY was a masterful defensive end 1935.

The top Tiger stepped up his offensive work this autumn and has been the scourge of the south as the star of one of the country's more powerful machines. He is one of the principal reasons why Louisiana State is unbeaten in Southeastern Conference play in two seasons and is the first institution to capture two successive titles. He has accounted for chowicz is the finest backer-up in Fordham's history. Baugh, Buivid Great Pitchers ALTHOUGH chiefly renowned for his passing, Baugh of Texas Christian is an amazing kicker i and a good runner. The 6-foot-2 180-pound lad from Sweetwater is so deadly that he actually has completed half of his many forwards.

Baugh didn't play long in three of the Horned Frogs' late-season engagements, but did plenty of damage while in the thick of things. He pitched the Forth Worth combinations to 18 points in 18 minutes against Baylor. 18 points in 22 minutes against Texas, and 12 points in 10 minutes against Centenary. A leg injury handicapped him in the Texas A. and M.

battle. Art Guepe co-starred with Buivid for Marquette and it was the lat-ter's remarkable ability that enabled his running mate to get away. Buivid threw a football like a baseball and was one of the fastest big men in the sport. He completed 50 passes in 97 attempts up to the Duquesne game. He is '21 years old, stands 6 feet, weighs 190 pounds, and is a resident of Port Washington, Wis.

Goddard, a 5-foot-9 180-pounder from Escondido. has been the Pacific coast's foremost tailback for two seasons, and last year was a players' All-America. The Washington State quarterback does everything well and his keen direction of play makes him the All-America signal caller. Francis, the Olympic shotputter, does everything the great fullback should be able to do, and then some. The Nebraska luminary is the nation's best kicker, a marvelous left-handed passer, a superlative smasher, an excellent blocker, the perfect backer-up, and an ideal team player.

Kelley has been termed a lucky individual, but, as Tuss McLaughry of Brown points out, the wisecracking Yale captain's constant repetition of plays which win demonstrates that he has the ability to be at the right spot at the right time.

Kelley everlastingly has done unexpected things in tight spots that were to the advantage of his varsity. Bernie Birrman calls Widseth the finest tackle Minnesota has had since Bronco Nagurski. who broke in at that position with the Gophers. The even demeanor of the 6-foot 2-inch 220-pound blond chap from Mcintosh was disturbed for the first time in the Northwestern game, when he allegedly struck Don Geyer, Wildcat fullback. The resultant penalty set the Laughing Boys of the Lake Front up for the touchdown that snapped the long winning streak of the Giants of the Norths but it would be unfair to keep such a brilliant performer off the All -America for a debatable offense.

Pittsburgh, famous for them, has had few tackles the equal of Daniell, 220-pound warrior from Mt. Lebanon. Reid of Northwestern, a 5-foot 9-inch 192-pound Chicagoan with a jutting jaw. is one of the finest running guards in the business. Drobnitch, 22 and scaling 197 pounds, played both weak and strong side guard for Denver, his play never suffering from the switch.

Wojciechowicz has been the center and key man of what perhaps is the strongest line in the country. Jock Sutherland credits this 21-year-old 5-foot 11-inch 192-pound junior from South River, N. with tying Pittsburgh. Wojcie AUGUSTA. Ga.

(JP) An old war horse who blazed to victory in the national open championship stocky Tony Manero, of Greensboro, N. C. put on another spectacular exhibition of shot making yesterday to lead the field in the $5,000 Augusta open golf tournament. He had a total of 140 through 36 holes of the 72-hole affair. The United States champion clipped two strokes off regulation figures with a neat 70 to match his one-under-par 70 of yesterday over the Forest Hills layout.

As the field of 214 competitors was cut down to 66 money-seeking professionals and 15 amateurs for the final half of the event, Manero held a two-stroke lead over his nearest rival, slender Byron Nelson of Ridgewood, N. who negotiated the halfway distance in 142. The odds dropped sharply on Manero who gave the best exhibition of stroking, for the final 36 holes to be played today and the 1,000 top prize. He was quoted at 5 to 1 against the field, being cut down from 12 to 1. Scores of 152 were needed to get in the last 36 holes and among the more prominent players who failed to gain the ranks were Harold Mc-Spaden, Winchester, Gene Sarazen, Brookfield Center, Conn, Roland MacKenzie, Washington; Herman Barron, of White Plains, N.
