But how would he scare those two member of Michigan' secondary? How would he force them to move back? Coach Find Answer Other coaches, even if they had diagnosed Michigan' powerful defense a Bachman did, certainly hadn't been very successful in overcoming it.

Michigan's brilliant defense record over a long stretch was proof enough of that. But that didn't deter Bachman. He never wavered from hi belief that he could beat It If he had the right kind of material to work with.

Playint; the hero's role on a Boston gridiron for the Bccond successive year, Harry Newman, Michigan's former All-America quarterback, put on a one-man show to give the New York Giants lB-to-13 victory over tht Boston Redskins In a spectacular National Professional League gama before a crowd of 17,033 at Fenway Park today. After running back the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and also booting a 30-yard field goal in the first period, the brilliant Newman climaxed hi sensational performance with two more placement kicks which enabled the Giants to come from behind and win the contest In the last eight minutes of play. Thua he icored 15 of hi team' IS points. Newmans first period contributions, along with Ken Strong' extra-point placement, gave the Giant a 10-0 lead but the Redskins scored two touchdown on the first 10 play of the second half to go ahead, 13-10.

Then Newman led the belated New York rally by directing a drive deep into Boston territory and tied the score with a goal from tht 25-yard line. Soon afterward ha shot off tackle for 44 yards to Bos- tuna 18-yard line and kicked tht goal from that point to decide tht game. Harold McPhall, new member of the Redskins who spent ope year at West Point, recovered a New York fumble in mldfield and ran for Boston' first touchdown. Battle returned the next kickoff 63 yards and Doug Wycoff broke loose for 26 yards two play later tor another Boston score. Just a year ago this month, Newman, then making his first appearance In New England, ran tha length of the field for a last-minutt touchdown to give the Giants a 21-20 triumph over their Boston foes.

LOUIS, Oct. 7 Tommy Bridges today stole the show from Dizzy Dean in this city of county fair baseball, encouraged by Sam Breadon. The little man from Gordonsville, outdid the Oklahoma idol with an exhibition of skillful and courageous pitching and drew thun derous applause Trom tne capacity crowd of 38,536 Cardinal supporter who came out to aee the great Dizzy again tame the Tlgera, only to tee him bow before the flinging of the 155-pound Bridge wa great. A early a the fifth inning he was cheered to tha echo every time he retired a Cardinal -slugger. When he stepped to the plate in the ninth, the applause wa even greater than that accorded Dean on his first trip to the plate and Tommy swung and shot a clean single to right.

It was Tommy's show in Dizzy's town. He was surrounded by admiring fans as he trudged across the field to the clubhouse after BUI Rogell and Charley Gehringer had teamed up to retire the side with two men on the runways in the ninth. a Frank Frisch and hi Cardinal have begun to take the World Series seriously. Frisch had his team out to batting practice early this morning, while the Tiger were lounging around their hotel. Dizzy Dean was out with his mate and took hi turn at the plate.

The great Diz hit a pitch into the left field bleachers. a Vic Sorrell pitched to the Tiger in batting practice. Goose Goslln belted one high over the stands In right field, and Bill Rogell bounced three successive pitchea off the base of the right field stands. a a Schoolboy Rowe, originally dated to pitch today's game, shagged flies in the outfield during the Tiger batting practice. He had Continued from First Sport Page any good, and it i reasonable to suppose that with a splitting headache that he did not rest very well last night.

Simmons was hit in Philadelphia once. He declared himself all right, went to dinner and a abow after which he spent three weeks in a hofpltal. Bridge' arm wa a fine, accurate Instrument today, and he quieted those Cardinal hitters like a nurse who has injected a patient with morphine. But no one will ever be able to tell me If this Serie goe to Detroit that it didn't happen the fatal moment that Frisch sent Dean in to run for Davis on Saturday afternoon. The first man up in the second inning was Billy Rogell, the party who perpetrated the outrage upon Dean' skull.

Dean threw baseballs at him from a distance of 60 feet but seemed unable to hit Rogell. But by the same token. Resell seemed unable to hit Dean, so that made it even. Wild looked at the first, swung at the second and Just glanced at the tnird. They were all strikes.

Dizzy grinned as William strode away from the plate wearing a-hurt look. Dean had his one moment in tht fourth Inning when with none out, Goslln doubled, and Rogell beat out a bunt He struck out Greenberg and Fox and got Owen on a high fly to Durocher, surely a notable accomplishment But Bridges went him one better when in the tension of the ninth, Frisch and Collins singled. One was out and two were on and Delancey who had hit a heme run in the seventh wa up. Bridges curved over three strikes in a row leaving Delancey muttering in hi beard. In fact, the Cardinal catcher muttered himself out of 200 net cash because he never took his bat from his shoulder.

At the first strike he said a dirty word for which Umpire Brick Owen quoted him a flat price of $50. "Make It a hundred," said Delancey, displeased with the cheap value that had been placed upon hi fine, resounding dirty-word. The next one was right over the manufacturers' stamp on the plate and found Delancey still cuddling his bat to his shoulder blade. The third pitch was a grand curve that broke right over the corner ot the plate, and Owen called him out with his bat glued to his neck. Delancey then turned around and said two dirty words.

"That will be $200, and no discount. That' market price, too," laid Owens. Delancey went away from the plate. Luckily he was either out of dirty words or spending money. In the meantime there tically prodigal with his money for were two out.

Candor forces me to depose that Delancey was prac-a very poor cause. Those were three of the prettiest strike in a pinch that any nervy little pitcher ever threw. Also there were now two out. Orsatti went in to bat for Chick Fullls who played all day In hia stead and bounced the ball to non-goat William Rogell who tossed it to Gehringer who in turn threw it to Bridges who stuffed the precious pellet Into hi pocket and ran ecstatically off the field, a World Series winner. Gallico game with the stuff a Tiger is supposed to show when cornered.

They came on with a snarl and a swirl, to meet the fast and savage Cardinal offense that seemed on the point of sweeping the field. Tommy in Command from Start They carried this same offense into Dizzy Dean territory today but this time they worked back of brilliant pitching as Tommy Bridges took command from the start by holding the Cardinals to three scattered hits until he had the game in hand with a 3 to 0 lead. When Charley Gehringer lifted that homer over the right field wall, every rooter from the 10,000 Cardinal crowd knew the paeeant was over for the day. Pete Fox, omethir.rj of an un sung hero in this series, hit Dean's first pitch for a lint double to right center that scored Greenberg all the way from first a When Greenberg scored in the second inning, It was the first time in the series that the Tiger had gotten away in front ot the Cardinal. Dizzy got a big hand from the capacity crowd as ha atepped to tht plate for the first time in the thjrd inning, with Durocher on first and none out.

He grounded to Rogell and forced Durocher. When Martin started to steal second In tht third, Rothrock was called out for Interference with Cochrane' throw. It wa the signal for another loud squawk from the Cards, but Brick Owen could not be moved. For a time it appeared that several of the Cards were going to talk themselves out of tha gama. Rogell was credited with a hit In the fourth when his perfect bunt to Collins, in an attempt to sacrifice, wa too deep for Dean to handle and Dizzy missed the bag when he took Collins' toss.

Dean bounced the ball into the diet to show his disgust at Umpire Klem's decision and then promptly atruck out Greenberg, took Owen on a pop to Durocher and tHen whiffed Fox on three pitches. a Bridge mad short work of the Cards in the fourth. He took both Frisch and Medwick on strikes and then got Collin on a roller to Greenberg. Tommy got a hand as noisy as Dean got when he atepped to the plate to start the fifth. He was Dean' flft'a strikeout victim after working count to and 3.

Cochrane juggled a third strike on Medwick in the seventh, fell on hi trousers but clung to it like a Merrlwell. Delancey's home run was not hit as hard a Gehringer's. The ball traveled high and dropped on the roof of the right field pavilion.

There'll be no more baseball in Sportsman' Park this year. A cordon of uniformed policemen formed a chain that kept the surging crowd away from the clubhouse, which is one place even One-Eyed Connolly could not crash. GREEN BAT, Oct.

1-( A. A 54-yard placekick which pun down the field from the toe of Glen Presnell, substitute quarterback for Dutch Clark, and on over the crossbar of Green Bay'i goalposts enabled the Detroit Lloni to defeat the Packers, 3-0, and extend their National Professional Football League record to three victories. The Lions downed a Packer punt on their own 45-yard line early In the second period. Halfback Cad-del and Presnell rammed the line for a first down. Three more charges failed to gain sufficiently and Presnell called for a place kick.

Gutowsky, subbing at fullback dropped down on the Lions' 48-yard line to hold the ball and Presnell, with the wind at his back, booted the ball squarely between the un-: rights for a field goal. The Lions were in command of the situation through most of the game. Excellent punting by Full- hack Frank Chrlstensen, with the fine defensive play of the Lions' forwards, kept the Packers in the hole almost continually. Lion Recover Fumble On three occasions the Packers fumbled within Detroit's 45-yard line and tie, Lions recovered each time. The, victors marched deep into ureen ay territory on sev eral times but were stopped.

Green Bay's best chance to score rame in the first period after Bob Monnett, left halfback who learned hi football at Michigan State, ran 23 yards for a first down on the Detroit 36-yard line. Three times the Packer backs charged but failed to make first downs. Mon nett attempted a field goal from the 37-yard ljne. His kick from place ment leu snort. as Chrlstensen' punts backed the Packer up repeatedly, Green Bay punters failed to get dis tance on quicn kicks.

Those few that were good usually fell into the waiting arms of Dutch Clark, who made things miserable for the Packers all afternoon with his great running game. George Chrlstensen, right tackle, recovered a Packer fumble on the third play of the game. A 17-yard pass. Clark to Schneller. nut the ball on the Packer 27-yard line but the Bays held for downs.

A Packer fumble early In the second half gave uetrolt the ball on its own 44-yard line. It came after Golden-berg, Packer quarter, intercepted a Lion pass. The Lions made three successive ursi downs but were cnecked and Presnell fourth-down placekick attempt was far short Clark Passes to Cad del Shortly after the final neriod opened, Clark passed to Caddel to take the ball to the Green Bay 24 but his mates could not continue the march and lost possession on the 15. Grove, Hlnkle and Mon nett collaborated for two first down but their drive wa halted wnen Hlnkle fumbled and the I uons recovered in mldfield. i-Tesnell intercepted a pas to orea up anotner march.

A few play later, Presnell fumbled but Clark fell on the ball for a gain. A crowd of 8,000 saw the game. The summary: tamhfh atohn.on L.T Perry nnarniar i Bannlolph C. hnmtrton (.... (hrlittnatn R.T llinfllft QR Lumpkin H.

Drukenbrod Michigan State's surprising lft-to-0 victory over Michigan on Saturday is due no small way to the plot ting of Charley Bachman, the Spartan coach.

It had been going on for a year, ever since Michigan defeated State last Fall. That was the first good look Bachman had at a Michigan team and it supplied the foundation for hi plotting. Hi co-plotter wu Russell Keynoids, State's quarterback and signal caller Saturday. After Keelng hi team lose to the Wolverines a year ago, Bachman said that Michigan could be beaten if a way could be found to overcome Us powerful defense. And he said ho was positive he could evolve means of beating that defense If he could put a capable and smart team on the field.

As part of his counter move he wanted a good passer, one of who would be constant threat. Bachman said then that Michigan's fullback and center, who line up directly back of the front line on the defense, had to be scared in some way and made to move Italians Wheel to Early Lead Go One Lap Ahead in Six-Day Bike Start Avantl MartinetU and Tlno Re-boll, the Italian team, were holding first place In Detroit' Third International six-day bicycle race in the Olympla last night after a wild night of racing. Twenty-four laps were gained In the first couple of hours of the grind and the race was held up by one spill in which Bob Silver, Eddie Trieste and Jerry Rodman crashed to the track. After the track doctor had patched the banged-up rider the race was resumed. Second place In the race wa held Jointly by the New York-Wisconsin team of George Dempsey and Bobby Thomas and the popular German team of Ewald Wlssel and Frani Deulberg.

These two teams were one lap behind the leader. Eight teams were in the division two laps back. They were Louis Cohen and Bob Silver, the Jewish team; Norman Hill and Willie Grimm, California-Jersey; Reggie McNamara and Dave Lands, the Iron Man team; Tony Schaller and Bobby Walthour, Chicago New York; Gu Rye and Gus Logghe, Belgians; Fred Spencer and loy Garrison, Americans; Alfred Le-tourner and Gerard Debaets, the Red Devil team; Eddie Trieste and Jerry Rodman, Chicago. Gerard Vermeersch and Archie Bolloert, Belgian Road team were three laps behind the leader. The race got underway at 9 last' night.

The race had hardly got under way when the first spill of the race occurred. Trieste and Rodman, In pushing one another in a relief, crashed to the saucer and Silver piled into them. Their wheel were smashed. Silver and Cohen got the most pciints in the 10 dashes, accounting lor do points.

Hill and Grimm were second with 22 points; Dempsey and nomas, mira, ia. The management announced that the Detroit Tigers would be their guest at the races tonight. Joe E. Brown, George Raft and Will Rogers are also expected. RmuIU of the JO o'clock 'irt Spencer, Silver.

Ciacl wti. he came to bat. Along the bank of Old Man River they know their baseball and they held nothing back in slipping the Tennessee shad everything he had coming for a big day in a tight spot. The great Dean fell in his second start. If you only knew all the story you could understand the heavy pall that hangs over the Southwest crepe on the cottonwood trail the cypress and the weeping willow that catches the soft autumn breezes of Oklahoma.

He turned in a good day's job, but Bridges had the call too much stuff for Cardinal bats so the Tigers return to Tieertown to face one of the greatest welcomes a ball club even this did not prevent him continuing his plotting. In Kurt Warmbein, the youth from St. Joseph, who, by the way, was overlooked io completely a ear ago that he wasnt invited back for earlv practice. Bachman believed he had the much needed passer, the threat which would cause Michigan a fullback and cen ter to become wary and drop back a way. Hi plans, which centered about Warmbein and his' passing ability, were firmly established In his own mind.

But who wa to help him carry them out? Here' where Russell Reynolds, the co-plotter, entered the picture. At every opportunity, even out Ing the summer, Hachman held a class in football, with Reynolda the only pupil In the class. The Spartan coach constantly stressed upon Reynold! the Importance ot passing in his scheme of attack, particularly for the Michigan game. You must pass wnenever you believe it safe to do so," Bachman kept reminding Reynolds. "Keep passing until you force their fullback and their center to drop back.

Then mix running plays with the passes when you believe the secondary Is far enough back." Reyno'ls Follow Plan Bacbuan repeated those instruc tions to Reynolds before State's opening game with Grlnnell two Saturday ago and State filled the r.ir with passes. Michigan scouts saw tnoie passes and must have been Impressed. Then came the BIO game witn Michigan. Just before the Spartans left their dressing quarters Saturday Bachman again repeated his instructions to Reynold "Don't he afraid to open up," he said. "Throw lots of passe at them and make their secondary stay back." At least this is Michigan State's story and it will stick to it.

After State victory over tne Wolverines, Bachman was loud in his praise of Reynolds, declaring the youngster had followed hi in structions to the letter and proved himself a heady general by the intelligent way in which he mixed and directed State's attack. Warmbein' passes did more than prove a threat and thus force Michigan to spread its secondary at least a little. They also figured in frequent advances into Michi gan territory. State spread 13 passes over tne four periods ana completed six of them for a gain of 88 yards. Michigsn threw 10 passes, but most of them in the later stages.

Michigan Mised Renner Ed Klewlcki. of Hamtramck, State's acting captain Saturday, was on the receiving end of most of Warmbein tosses and was always dangerous. He also played a whale of a defensive game, as did the entire State line. The play of the lightweight Spartan forwards, on both the defense and the of fense, was one of the biggest surprises of the game. To these forwards go much credit for the State victory.

Michigan looked just like what Coach Harry Kipke had said it would be, a green team uncertain of Itself. Its task was made more difficult by the unexpected strength it encountered in State' line. Furthermore, as even the most jubilant Spartan supporters will admit. Michigan missed Renner, Its star passer and key man of it back-field, who was kept out of the game by an injury. Michigan teams always have had a way of coming back and there is no reason why this one shouldn't.

Of course Kipke still misses such stalwart as Chuck Bernard, Francis Wlstert, Ted Petoskey and Stanley Fay and several others. But Kipke and his assistant have a lot of promising material to work with and before the season is much older should have capable performers working in the places of the lost stars of a year ago. Wolverine Line Flunked With Renner back and Regeczi fully recovered from his injuries, the play of Michigan's backfield is bound to Improve. Naturally it looked disorganized at times against State, although much of the blame here must go to the line which didn't perform as It was expected to do. Another thing, the Michigan backfield as it lined up this time didn't get much chance to show what it can do.

It wa kept well back in It own teritory most of the time and therefore couldn't open up until It was too late. Russ Oliver was the workhorse In the Wolverine backfield and performed capably. He passed and ran with the ball and did the punting until Regeczi got in the game.
