Michigan and Purdue both are teams that rely on backfield speed and adroit passing at-? tacks. They need firm footing to operate at maximum effi- ciency.

He suffered a knee injury last Saturday against Illinois and is listed as "doubtful." Bob Van Summern and sophomore Don Peterson will share Koceski't, duties at right half. Allan Jackson likely will operate both offensively and defensively at the guard post. Purdue was stumbling along to another disappointing season until last Saturday. Then the Boilermakers threw the Conference race and the Rose Bowl situation into an uproar by knocking over Minnesota, 13 to 7. The Gophers went into the game a 26-point favorite.

COACH STTJ HOLCQMB has Purdue at full strength for the first time this season. The Boilermaker backfield of Kenny Gorgal at quarter; Detroiter Harry Szul-borski and Norb Adams at the halves and John Kerestes at fullback has averaged a gain of 320 yards per contest. Szulborski, the Big Ten's top ground gainer last season, missed early season games because of a leg injury. The Minnesota game a week ago was his first "normal performance." He now is rated at peak form. In addition to Szulborski there are three other Michigan boys on the Purdue squad.

They are An-gelo Carnaghi, captain and offensive center from Detroit St. Anthony's; Leo Sugar, regular defensive end from Flint Northern; and Bob Grant, a tackle from Lansing Sexton.

The 25-year-old San Franciscan was the pick of 40 of the 116 baseball experts who voted in the Associated Press poll. He won out in a three-cornered battle with Roy Sievers of the St. Louis Browns, and Alex Kellner of the Philadelphia Athletics.

SIEVERS, the outfielder who banged out 16 home runs in 'his first year in the majors, drew 33 votes to nose out Kellner for second place. 'The A's southpaw star, who won 20 and lost 12, was named on 30 ballots. Fourth place went to Mike Garcia, strong-armed righthander of the Cleveland Indians. Garcia received seven votes to five for Detroit Outfielder Johnny Groth and one for Chicago flychaser Gus Zernial. Coleman, who hit .276 and fielded sensationally at times for the Yankees, played a prominent part in the team's terrific fight for the American League rannant.

BY DICK PETERS Free Press Staff Writer MIAMI The University of Detroit got a peek at the football dynasty which Andy Gus- tafson is building at University of Miami. The Titans didn't care much for what they saw. Their peek resulted in a 27-6 defeat, in a thrill-jammed game played before 35,031 fans in the Orange Bowl.

They make no bones about it in this resort city. Miami is loading up for bigger and better things in its football future. AS FAR AS U. of D. cerned, the Hurricanes is con- already have plenty without the surplur of material pnmirKr nn mvt vour from a fine, unbeaten freshman team.

This Miami team, which has bowed only to Purdue this season, made its scoring gestures with lightning-like suddenness. It tallied first on a blocked kick, then three more times on plays which covered 72, 40 and 65 yards. One other 84-yard touchdown gallop was called back for clipping, and just at the end of the first half the Canes nearly tallied on a 49-yard pass play. While Miami squad is liberally sprinkled with sophomore stars, it actually was a senior halfback, Whitey Campbell, who did the most dirt to the Detroiters. CAMPBELL, WHO didn't face the Titans in Detroit last fall be cause of injuries, was not supposed to play Friday night either.

But he did, and his running accounted for two Miami scores. The clincher may have been the blocked kick, however, for such a play always is disheartening to a team in the early minutes of a game. The Titans were deep, in their own territory with about nine minutes gone in the opening period. On fourth down, Sam Cipparone went back to. kick.

Leo Martin, Miami's pride and joy who plays 'a terrific game at end, came barreling in. Without a Titan hand touching him, he blocked Cipparone's punt. Walt Chwalik, another sophomore terminal, scooped up the ball on the five and leaped into the end zone. Gordon Watson then missed the conversion for the only time in four tries, and the Hurricane had started blowing. THE TITANS put on a spirited drive after the kickoff but ran out of gas, and Cipparone to punt out on the Miami 17.

The 'Canes made one first down to the 28 before Campbell took a pitchout from little Jack Hackett and fled 72 yards in brilliant style for the second touchdown. With only two minutes gone in the second quarter, Hackett and Campbell teamed up again. Miami had moved from its 27 to the Detroit 40, when Hackett whipped a screen pass to the fair haired boy Campbell. He cut down the sidelines, then ran diagonally across the field to outdazzle the Titan LATE US" THE half, Detroit got its power moving, principally the running of Mike Kaysserian, who carried 16 times for 76 yards during the game. The Titans went to the Miami 16 but stalled.

It was then that Jack Brasington went 84 yards for a Miami score, but it was called back. Jim Dooley fumbled on the next play and Frank Audette recovered for U. of D. Kays-serian carried three out of five plays and finally bulled across from the one. Cipparone's kick was wide.

IN THE SECOND half, Detroit outplayed Miami very definitely, but couldn't score. The Titans drove once to the 18 and again to the five, but they ran out of plays once and John O'Connor fumbled the second time. After 10 minutes had gone in the final period, Dei Bello intercepted Bob O'Malley's pass on the Miami 35. On the first play, Brasington, on a reverse, turned the Titan left end and went 65 yeards on a dazzling run. MIAMI 7 IE Tiapllnski.

I i 4' i ym- cf s-" A 1 VfA AXa were Micnigan toiate as the week before a capacity crowd The powerful Irish, unconquered over 33 games, were uuua-un favorites to add the once-beaten Spartans to their list of victims. But they will have a fight on their hands. We're as ready as we can be was cjoacn oiggie jviunns isi-sc comment A COLD SETTING was fore cast for the battle by the weather man. "No snow or rain Js in sight," he said.

"Temperatures wul range between 25 and 38 degrees, and it will be partly cloudy." This game is one which has captured the imagination of the nation's football followers. The Spartans, led by Lynn Chandnois, their great halfback from Flint have slashed their way to five straight victories after a 7-3 defeat by Michigan in their season opener. ON THAT SURGE of triumphs, they have propelled themselves into the top 10 teams in the country, a list which is headed by the mighty Irish from South Bend. An upset victory by State would bring this up-and-coming football power Its greatest moment of glory. Bookmakers insist that Notre Dame is from 7 to 20 better, but this is the kind of game in which odds are important only until the opening kickoff.

Coach Frank Leahy, of Notre-Dame, says that he fears the Spartans. While Leahy is repeating a statement he makes before almost every game his team plays, he has ample basis for it this time. Yet the Irish of '49 are well on their way toward another National championship. LED BY A PAIR of fleet-footed backs in Red Sitko and Larry Coutre, who have gained 790 yards this season, Notre Dame has a corps oau carriers wno nave yet to meet their equal. tuarxerDacri nou vv imams uucs the passing and so well that he has completed 28 of 48 for 583 yards.

Scatback Ernie Zalejski shook off his injuries to run wua a week ago against Navy. LEFT HALFBACK Frank Spaniel has carried the ball 25 times and averaged more than seven yards. The Irish line is sparked by co-Captains Leon Hart their gigantic end who is certain All-America, and Tackle Jim Martin. And Leahy has other horses just as proficient. State's chances are built around the defensive talents of a first-string line which has been whipped into a proficient wall by Coach Munn, always a master of such Litems.

IN ED BAGDON and Don Mason, State has a pair of guards who must be ranked with the best in the land. Sophomore Al Dorow will start at quarterback, in a unit of Chandnois, Sonny Grandelius and Frank Waters. All have good replacements except Chandnois, and this durable 195-pounder has yet to need one over his brilliant four-year football career. The Spartans were "up" for Michigan despite the fact it was their first game of the year. They are "up" just as high for Notre Dame.

BUT COUNTERING this mental attitude of the Spartans is the all-round greatness of the Irish, their ability to strike for paydirt from any yard line on the field, The Irish have met other teams intent on shattering their streak, They were supposed to have trouble with highly touted Tu-lane, but after scoring three times in the first 10 minutes they pulled their punches and coasted to a ridiculously simple triumph. This 1949 Notre Dame team is being called one of the greatest to come out of South Bend, rne Soartan eleven holds the same honors in East Lansing. IT COULD BE a rout; It could be a bitter battle decided by just a few points. But the Spartans in' sist they'll give all they've got and if that isn't enough, then they'll give just a little bit more. The game is the 17th between the" schools.

Tars Sink Cass, 40-0 Northwestern Falls to Cubs, 40-8 i BY GEORGE PUSCAS It is no surprise, but at least it's official: Denby's defending City champions will stake their crown against U. of D. High. Both clubs clinched their sectional titles Friday, completing their slates unbeaten as the pub lie school football campaign ended.

BOTH TJ. of D. and Denby rolled through their final tests with the ease that characterized their marches to the West and East Side titles. The speedy Cubs mauled Northwestern, 40 to 8, while Denby romped over Cass Tech, 40 to 0. It was the seventh straight victory this season for each.

Denby's string boosted its overall winning streak to 25. The title-laden Tars and U. of which hadn't won a West Side title since its City champions of 1939, will collide at 8 p. m. next Saturday in U.
