Tigers Rally to Whip i 1 V. 3 I' -r 1 1 'f I Tribe in Opener, 6-5 Bobby Feller, in Relief Role, Smacked by Detroit in Wild Eighth Inning Attack BY DALE STAFFORD DETROIT, Sept. 20.

(P) In the wildest baseball spectacle Detroit has been a party to since the World Series days of 1934 and 1935, the Tigers today nosed out the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 5, in the opening battle of the three-game series for American League supremacy. By the victory Detroit took a one-game lead over Cleveland in the red-hot American 12,000 spectators. Grady featured a Lion running attack that made touchdown drives early in the first and third periods and threatened half a dozen other times. In the coming-out party of Coach Marty Brill's team from the Del Rey hills, the Lions played strong defensive football, and added that enthusiastic running attack which showed considerable possibilities. The Brill-coached team had a lot of pep, showed a fine knowl edge of -fundamentals and indi cated that it may be an eleven to reckon with this fall if it can develop a passing attack to match its ground work.

BULLDOGS FATL Coach Cecil Cushman's Bulldogs, expected to cut loose with a bewildering aerial assault couldn't get its attack to click with any consistency. The Lions refused to become bewildered by the series of laterals, lateral-forwards and spread formation running plays. The Redlands passing attack, built around Alvin Chang, failed to click largely through the alert rushing of the Lions, who held the Cushman-coached team to two first downs all evening. Only once did Redlands threaten. That was late in the fourth period when Chang threw a long pass which Gene Burson let slip through his fingers after getting behind the Loyola secondary.

Loyola used reserves promin ently in the second and again in the third period. It seemed ap parent Coach Brill was content to let matters rest as they were giving his secand and third stringers experience and saving his 'better shots for another LONG DRIVE Behind some fine blocking, the Loyola eleven drove 67 yards to a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, al though set back 15 yards by a holding penalty. Grady's" punt. Which rolled out of bounds on the 8-yard line set the stage for the second scoring drive which came in the third. Redlands couldn't gain and was forced to punt.

The kick was short and Loyola took over on the 33. Grady hit the line for 4, then, on a fancy reverse, he galloped 20 more yards before he was pulled down. Bernie Flaherty and Tom Shaw took over briefly thereafter, nudging the pigskin to the 3-yard line. From this point Grady ran it through a nice hole in the line. Flaherty missed the goal kick and that ended the scoring.

LOSE NO TIME The Lions lost no time in chalking up a touchdown and they held this 7-to-O lead at the halftime. although twice again ni, TT, 1 1 rt Kill AfriY mtft iJoHlinHc'' orrL tory before losing it on downs Crisp blocking and a diversi fication of running plays took the Brill team the 67 yards that constituted the touchdown drive. Grady plunged over from the 3-yard line as the clock ticked off 12 minutes of play. BULLDOGS STOPPED The Bulldogs took the opening kickoff on their goal line with Norman making a 32-yard return before he was tackled. Coach Cushman's invaders went Into their fancy lateral-forward passing attack immediately but could make no headway and punted to the Lion 33.

Grady and Flaherty advanced Turn to Page 12, Column 8 INDIANS RAZZED An ordent Detroit fan presented Cleveland's this appropriate gift. Tribe's Ben Chapman laughs at gag. It is nice that Pasadena's Rose Bowl folks could have the opportunity to honor and be honored last night by Michigan's Fielding -H. Yost. Because the man who coached those remarkable point-a-minute teams for the Wolverines in the yesteryears will retire from the athletic directorship after this sea-m son.

Yost, of course, is an important figure in Rose Bowl footfall tradition. His team that defeated Stanford, 49 to 0, in 1902 was in a large degree responsible for the intersectional grid series that started 34 years ago and has carried on to become the greatest game of its kind. OXE TO FORGET The fact that this game was played in 1902 and the additional point that the classic contest as a series did not start until .1916, when Washington State defeated Brown, has made it rather convenient for us to overlook the first affair in recent years. "Hurry Up" Yost always liked to refer to the contest as the "lost football game" lost bo far as the Rose Bowl records were concerned. But 'now that he has presented the Rose Bowl folks with a picture of the game we have no further excuse for ignoring the debacle.

You can safely say now, that after 38 years this contest has become official. STAXFOKDS QUIT As Yost relates it, Michigan brought only 15 men from Ann Arbor, where the temperature was 10 degrees below zero, to Pasadena where the sun poured down that January day, making the temperature about 85. "Eleven Michigan men started and finished the game," says Yost, who has a wonderfully retentive mind. "We used no substitutes. A few days before the game, Coach Fisher, of Stanford had insisted that we play not a minute less than 35-min-ute halves.

"In this contest, when the score was Michigan 37, Stanford 0, the West Coast team wanted to call the game off. They said they'd used up all their men. I told Fisher to rest 'em and then put 'em back in. Well, when the score was 49 to 0 they just walked off the i field." ELEVEN NAMED For posterity it might be recorded here that Michigan cannot claim the contest as a total triumph over the West. Because Billy Heston, the star that day and on many another, was from San Jose.

Michigan has had its many grid stars. Aldolph Schultz, Harry Kipke, Bennie Ooster-baan, Ben Friedman, Harry Newman, and currently Tommy Harmon. But you can say in all safety that none was greater than the Billy Heston who scored 100 touchdowns in 44 games from 1901 through 1904 on teams that never tasted defeat. OTHERS QUIT Be it said here that Stanford was not the only team to walk sway from a beating by the point-a-minute. teams before the game ended.

"Michigan had that experience four times while I was coaching," said Yost. One of those occasions was in 1901 when the University of Buffalo, undefeated prior to its game with Michigan, walked out on Ihe Wolverines after the score rolled up to 128 to 0. Yost has a funny story for that one. Along in the third period he detected a stranger huddled under a blanket among his few reserves. "Hey, you," said Yost, "you're on the wrong side." "No I'm not," said the Buffalo player.

"I know when I've had enough. I've been in that game nix times already and I'm not going back." (SOME RECORD Yost's record is remarkable. Born in 1871 in West Virginia, he attended Ohio Northern for two years. He left school and went into business for three years before going to the University of West Virginia. He played in the first football game he had ever seen and instantly became a star.

After West Virginia he played at Lafayette and then with the Alleghany Athletic Club. It was in 1S97 that he first became a coach. This was, at Ohio Wesleyan. His success was such that Nebraska hired him in 1898. The Huskers defeated Kansas 18 to 6 that year, so it was only natural that the Jay-hawkers hired Yost away from them.

Fielding's success at these two schools led to his selection by Stanford in 1900. At he was head mentor for 23 consecutive seasons. And by coincidence is first four teams and. the last four 1901 through. 1904 and 1922 through 1926 were Big Ten champions.

CAN'T BE DOWNED It was less than two weeks ago when McNeill, who didn't know he was beaten, dropped the first two sets of the nationals at Forest Hills to Champion Riggs, and then came back with a savage attack that dethroned the titleholder in five sets. It was the same way yesterday with Kovacs, the Oakland clown, playing brilliant tennis and leaving the court at inter mission leading two sets to But the dogged McNeill was not not to be denied.

Two minutes later the white-faced lad was back.

"I quit." he said. "Look at those guys out there! They're giants. I don't want to get killed." The trainer looked out the window and grinned. "That's not the squad," he said. "That's the Chicago Bears, training here.

There were five double plays, and the first one indicated that it wasn't going to be San Diego's night.

Swede Jensen opened the game with a double off the, left-field fence. Art Garibaldi walked after Stewart had popped out. George Detore' then whacked a long fly to Johnny Moore. Jensen tagged up but left second before the ball was caught, being a double-play victim to end the rally when Cihocki cut off Moore's throw and tossed to Stringer.
