Maher Sparkplugs Offense Record 19,271 See Night Debut 16 Left on Base JL, Af 1 BY MARSHALL DAXX Bruce Maher and Capt. Lou Faoro were the sparkplugs as the University of Detroit launched its 1958 football season on a successful physical and financial note Friday night. Maher's running and Faoro's passing highlighted a 21-6 triumph over George Washington University. It wasn't as easy or as lopsided as some expected, but who can quarrel with victory. One of the largest home crowds in many years 19,271 sat in on the action.

TITAN TOPICS: The turnout of 19.271 caught the U-D publicity department by surprise No one present had any idea when the team last attracted a crowd of that size Ticket manager Frank Metzger said it hadn't happened since he took over back in 1951.

That, they learned, is no way to win a baseball game; not even when Paul Foytack is pitching a smooth four-hitter. Foy tack's efforts were wasted and the Tigers' six-game vanning streak ended, 2 to 1, by the Cleveland Indians who pulled within one game of the third-place Bengals. IT WAS THE fourth time this year that the Tribe has snipped a sizable string for the Tigers.

The only Bengal able to make his way all around the bases, before 3,281 Briggs Stadium fans, was Harvey Kuenn. He homered in the fourth inning, planting No. of the season in the lower leftfield seats. Wasting chance after chance to produce other runs, the Tigers left the bases loaded four times and only twice neglected to strand at least one runner. The perpetrator of their embarrassment was Calvin Cool-idge McLish, a genuine Redskin from Oklahoma.

He measured the Tigers for the third time without a loss this year and claimed his 16th victory as a result. The big righthander, who was on the auction block with no takers last winter, has lost only seven. THE TIGERS nicked McLish for nine hite, got five walks and benefited from two errors all in the first seven innings. But careful Cal survived all threats except Kuenn's home run by craftily altering the speed on every pitch, none of them strong enough to knock off a batter's capv Then when the Indians put McLish ahead in the eighth inning on Larry Doby's single, Jim (Mudcat) Grant went to the mound and blitzed the Bengals the rest of the way. His smokeball accounted for four strikeouts, three in the ninth.

Foytack, who has been the Tigers' most consistent hurler for a month, also walked five men and two of them cost him his 13th defeat against the same number of victories. He issued a pass to Rocky Colavito with one out in the second inning.

After two years of luckless experiments with afternoon football, U-D yielded to progress and planted new lights in its stadium. THE DEEP and experienced Titans, their power spread neatly over two platoons, lived up to their buildup by grabbing a 13-0 lead in thef irst 16 minutes. Maybe those two touchdowns came too easy. After that the visiting Colonials were an even match. They also struck in the first half and the tense 13-6 situation lasted until the last minute of the game.

Ivy foulard i i FEATURED IN HUGHES HATCHER'S BIG 48th ANNIVERSARY SALE How the Extra The interesting and exciting ways college football teams now may try for extra points was demonstrated fully in the University of Detroit's 21-6 victory Friday night over George Washington. The teams could go the old-fashioned route of placekicking for a single point, or runpass for two. The Titans failed to show anything like firm strategy In their efforts but they did manage to come out even three TDs and three extra points. After the opening marker, U-D appeared satisfied to boost a 6-0 edge to 7 to 0.

A place-kick was ordered. But Bruce Maher'a boot was wide and GW also was offside, that called for a replay, this time from the one instead of the three. THE EXTRA two yards seemed to invite new confidence. The Titans went for double and got nothing. Maher headed for right tackle but Ortiz Wins Over Busso NEW YORK (UPI) Carlos Ortiz's crisp, close quarter hooks won an avenging unami-mous 10-round decision Friday night over lightweight contender Johnny Busso, the only man who ever beat him.

Ortiz, weighing 137 pounds to Busso's 140, turned the tables on his fellow New Yorker who had taken a split verdict in the first fight in the same Madison Square ring June 27. The three ring officials favored Carlos over Busso on- a rounds basis as follows: Referee Al Berl, 5-4-1; judge Leo Birn-baum, 6-4, antl judge Joe Ag-nello, 6-4. Net Surprises Are Surprised LOS ANGELES CP Australia's Mai Anderson and Peruvian Alex Olmedo burst the bubbles of two surprise quarterfinalists Friday in the 32nd annual Pacific Southwest tennis tournament. Anderson came within two points of losing his match to unseeded Mike Franks, of Beverly Hills, but recovered and won it, 6-8, 6-1, 3-6, 10-8, 6-3. Olmedo, a University of Soutern California student who holds the United States Collegiate title, set down 19-year-old Chris Crawford, 6-1, 7-5, 6-4.

Crawford had whipped first seeded Ashley Cooper challenger, and Columbia, the defender, are scheduled to hit the starting line at 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time). They will race 24 miles, twice around a six-mile windward-leeward course. The first leg will be against the wind, the second with it, I etc. best-of-seven races.

The first yacht to win four races gets the homely mug which the schooner America brought back from England In 1851 and which British braina was halted on the line of scrimmage. Quickly the situation came up again after another touchdown. No arguments this time. Maher placekicked and it was good. Score, 13 to 0 The visitin Colonials were 'We'll Beat Say Lions BY GEORGE PUSCAS With great good spirit, the Lions cavorted on Tartar Field Friday morning, seemingly un aware that important things about them could be determined this weekend.

Are the Lions really In trouble Can they win without some of their best -ends? The champions meet the, Browns again in Cleveland at 7:30 p.m. (Detroittime) Saturday. It will be the last of the preseason games and possibly the most important. But are they worried? It hardly seems so. RARELY HAVE the champions been more carefree and good natured as in the final tuneup for the Browns.

It is obvious they have not been listening to the lament over their end situation. "You guys have been downgrading us because we're short of ends," said one. "Do you concede we could have won every game we've played so far?" Right. "Okay, now go back and see how many passes Steve Junker, Jerry Reichow and Dave Mid-dleton caught in the five games we've played." (The record shows none for Reichow, injured in the first game; eight for Junker, hurt in the fifth, and eight for Middleton, absent from all training and excused from this second date with the Browns.) "Remember, we've still got a lot of good ballplayers left on this team including ends. And we'll be getting those others back." So now you hesitate with the Lions.

They think they can win, and whose word is better? Coach George Wilron, who has shown concern over the end shortage, said he will not take Perry Richards to CleveJand for the game. Defensive back Jack Christiansen, whose ankle injury reduce-, the Lions to 32 able-bodied men, definitely will not play. 5 Wind and resources have failed to recover. Sceptre's 11-man, hand-picked crew is headed by a dashing, broken-nosed career Naval officer, Lt. Comdr.

Graham Mann. The Columbia helmsman is Briggs Cunningham, 51, famed as an automobile racer and yachtsman throughout the world. His is an older crew than Sceptre's averaging 38 years to the British boat's 32 but it is a tough, tight-fit organization which proved itself in beating three U.S. rivals for the defender role. 1 THP FIRST TD of the season was made by Bill Dando on a 15-vard churner.
