And while it's a cinch that the Spartans will carry on next year, it's more of a sure thing that Capt. Bob Carey will be missed. a The friendly Charlevoix giant he's 6-5 and weighs 220 does everything athletic in direct proportion to his size.

And he's plenty big. When he graduates next June Bob will have been handed nine letters for varsity competition. That makes him the most-lettered man in State's history under rules limiting a player to three seasons of varsity competition. He's the best shot putter the college ever had. He Is defending Big Ten champion and placed third in the NCAA tourney last year in competition with the greatest in the land.

He has been a great end for three seasons. As a sophomore he was the basketball team's third high scorer. Last year he was the second high. This year he'll put on his cage togs exactly one week after the last football game. Special to the Free Press WICHITA A third-period field goal by Detroit and a disastrous mistake by Wichita Quarterback Dick Sanders gave the University of Detroit a happy 9-7 football victory over Wichita Thursday.

Playing for the second straight week in freezing temperatures, theTitans grabbed a lead after a scoreless first half when Halfback Tony Bartalo kicked an 18-yard field goal midway in the third period. Detroit held on through the remainder of the period and bottled up Wichita's spread-passing attack led by Sanders. But early in the fourth period Wichita gained possession on the Detroit 32.

It took the Lions nearly five minutes to locate the new ball with which to start their engagement with the Green Bay Packers, but, once found, that ball traveled up and down the gridiron with rocket speed. When the scramble was over, the Lions had posted a 52-35 decision over the Packers before 33,452 touchdown-happy fans. The triumph put the Lions, at least temporarily, in a tie for first place in the National Conference with the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams.

THIS WAS THE sixth victory of the year for Detroit as against twj defeats and a tie. It was filled with notable achievements, principal of which were: 1 Bobby Layne continued his torrid passing by hitting for four touchdowns. 2 Jack Christiansen returned two punts for 71 and 89 yards for a pair of touchdowns. 3 Bob Hoernschemeyer scampered 85 yards for a touchdown from scrimmage to post the league's longest gain of the year on a running play. 4 The two teams collected 12 touchdowns, a field goal and 12 extra points.

As usual the Lions had to come from behind to earn their triumph, trailing -twice in the second period, although they scored first on Doak Walker's 20-yard field goal. AFTER THAT Hoernschemeyer, Leon Hart and Christiansen each scored a pair of six-pointers and Walker tallied a touchdown. Walker, of course, converted all seven points after touchdown. Meanwhile, the Packers were turning on the offensive heat themselves. Tobin Rote ran for 131 yards off the Packer spread formations and passed for 201 more yards and three touchdowns.

He also ran for one marker. Jim Thomason also pitched for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The 52 points picked up by the Lions constitute a club record. The NFL Standings NATIONAL CONFERENCE Pet. PF PA DETROIT 6 Chi.

(Only game scheduled.) combined total of 87 points was the fourth highest point production in the history of the league.

AT THAT, Coach Buddy Parker had his regular backs out of the game for the entire fourth quarter the only period in which Detroit failed to score. During the first 20 minutes it appeared that the Packer spread passes would be too much for the Lions. They hit for three touchdowns as the Lion defensive backs played the ball instead of the receivers. Twice attempted interceptions went awry and the Packers picked up touchdowns. Detroit drew first blood when Hart intercepted a Rote pass and returned to the Packer 29.

The Lions moved to the 10, but the attack stalled and Walker booted his field goal. Then an exchange of touchdowns gave first the Packers a 7-3 lead and then Detroit a 10-7 margin. But only three plays later the Packers assumed command again when Rote climaxed a 50-yard drive with his touchdown. That made it 14 to 10. DETROIT WAS forced to punt, for the first such maneuver of the game, early in the second quarter.

Wings Win, 2 to 1, over New York Detroit Unbeaten in 10 Straight Games The high-riding Detroit Red Wings stretched their undefeated streak to 10 games as they downed the New York Rangers in a National Hockey League game at Olympia Thanksgiving night. The score was 2 to 1. New York hasn't been able to leave Detroit ice a winner since December, 1949. Detroit made its famous attack click to give it a one-goal lead in an unexciting first period. PLAY WAS predominantly around the Rangers' net, where New York Goalie Chuck Rayner did an effective job of stopping Detroit's shots.

Detroit's lone goal was scored by Sid Abel at 7:01 while both teams were at full strength. Ted Lindsay got an assist on the play. Bob Goldham, who suffered a cut that took 10 stitches to close in the New York game Sunday, was back in action against the Rangers.

Fred Glover rapped in a 10- footer at 1:19 with assists going to Gordie Howe and AbeL The Rangers were two men short and Detroit one man at the time.

Benny Woit was serving a tripping penalty for the Red Wings when Sinclair connected. Alex Delvecchio blinked the red light midway in the period but the goal was disallowed when it was ruled that Vic Stasiuk was standing in the crease.

WITH 90 SECONDS left in the fourth period, Halfback Jim Sack intercepted a pass and raced 33 yards to a touchdown. Then in the final 30 seconds, Fullback Bob Shaver grabbed another Union pass and dashed 46 yards to a score. South's victory, its fourth against three defeats, boosted it into a tie for second place with Union and Grand Rapids Central in the final league standings.

Each has a 3-2 record. The loss was Union's third against six victories in the season. NORTHERN captured the Flint City championship as it edged Central, 6 to 0, before 18,000 fans in Atwood Stadium. A 17-yard pass from Halfback Vernon Franklin to End Lee Jones gave Northern its winning edge in the third period. Central blew a golden opportunity to pull the game out of the fire in the final 30 seconds.

With the ball on the Northern four, Quarterback Don Watson passed to End Addison Brink, who was all alone in the end zone. But the ball shot through Brink's hands.

It could not make a first down, and Ed Gornack punted to the Wichita 33, where the ball r. rolled dead. At this point, with barely I four minutes left, and Wichita apparently having victory sewed 't up, Sanders chose to pass.

He I dropped back to his 10-yard line. The pass was intercepted by rt Dan Kerins on the Wichita 20.

Kline on the next play went to the one-foot line. Finally Goggins hammered over for the score. Bartalo failed to convert. The first half was a comedy of serious errors for both teams. Detroit received the kickoff at the start and on a running attack sparked by Goggins and Ron Horwath moved deep into Wichita ground repeatedly, but failed to score.

WICHITA, trying to get out of trouble, had a punt blocked with Detroit recovering on the Shockers' 15. On passes, the Titans went to the two, then Horwath dove into the end zone for the score.

So much of one, in fact, that a national weekly magazine spent several days getting color photos of him with ideas of making him its cover boy. But the injury bug, an active germ this season, bit him just as it nibbled on such other All-American candidates as Washington's Don Heinrich, Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds and. Ohio State's Vic Janowicz. Injuries Can't Stop Him AS A RESULT, Bob has been unable to perform in the style predicted for him on a team just one step removed from a perfect season. But just to prove that Capt.

Carey is great, despite his aches and pains, are these figures: He has caught 15 passes for 179 yards. While he has made just one touchdown, it is significant that he proved to be the margin of difference between victory and defeat in two of the Spartans' key games. Against Ohio State he booted a field goal and three extra points. State won by four points. Against Indiana last week-end he booted another three-pointer and three conversions.

Again the margin was four points. Capt. Bob won't be the only Spartan regular in his final game Saturday. The entire offensive line from end to end which is from Bob Carey to Bill Carey is in the same boat. So is Quarterback AI Dorow, plus a handful of fine defensive players.

Athletic Director Howard G. Danford said ESU next year will offer outstanding high school and junior college players as much as the southeastern and southern conference teams are allowed by their rules to give. "WE WONT be able to give out as many scholarships next year as some of the schools in the two big conferences do," he said. "But we hope, by being able to offer the better athletes the same scholarships, to get our share of the top college prospects." Danford said the new policy authorized by the university committee on athletics permits an award of tuition, room, board, books and $15 a month for laundry and dry cleaning to an athlete.

Won't Say How Much, but Jackie Wants More LOS ANGELES (U.R) Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn's great second baseman, said he will ask the Dodgers for a substantial pay hike next season, but he refused to disclose his terms.

Robinson, visiting here with his wife and two children, said the the Dodgers paid him in 1950 and 1951 would not be enough to lure him back to Flatbush next year. He declined, however, to talk about the value he will place on his services for the 1952 campaign. He plans to leave for his Long Island, N. T. home next week.
