PART TWO Yanks' 4-Run Rally Helps Chandler Win No. 19 Over Boston, 4-0 THE DETROIT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1943 Same Number Gus Always Comes Up With One Spud Cops 7th in Row on7-Hitter Michigan Roundup Series Plans Are Set for Single Trip First 3 Games Will Be Played at Yankee Stadium, Then Teams Finish at St. Louis By the Associated Frees A COUPLE OF former Detroit Lions are beginning to think the world is really a small place after all. Alex Schibanoff, who played tackle for the local pro gridders for two. years, recently wrote Fred L.

Mandell, Lions owner, that he was executive officer aboard one of those powerful little FT hats in the South Pacific Area. I fjmm If IllSpk CM) rV I Naval Aviation Cadet Dick (Little Egypt) Kieppe will wear the same number on the gridiron this fall as he wore while starring for MCS last season, but the uniform will be that of Western Michigan. Dick is now in training at WMC and will be one of the starting halfbacks when the Broncos oppose University of Michigan in their opening game, Sept. 25. He is scheduled to leave Kalamazoo for pre-flight training at University of Iowa the latter part of October and probably will finish the season with the Sea-hawks.

Art Massucci on Titan Staff Arthur Massucci, former coach of St. Catherine's High School, has accepteda position of physical education instructor at the Uni versity of Detroit, it was announced Saturday by Athletic Director Lloyd Brazil. Massucci played tackle at U. of D. in 1928-29-30, while the Titans were enjoying three of their best football season.

Massucci was added to the U. of D. staff to assist in the physical education program of the 400 Army enlistees. JOHN TRIPS ON Now instructing raiders Today's Sports in Short Order Lee Stokes, former center for the Detroit Lions and now a free agent, signed to play with the Chi-cago Cardinals. The Ford Rouge League base ball trophy went to the Employ ment team by virtue of its 7-5 decision over Rolling Mill in the finals of the loop playoff.

The Administration nine, league leaders during the regular season, captured the McMahon Trophy. a Emanuel Giuliani, former Uni versity of Detroit tackle, will coach St. Catherine's Catholic League gridders this season. Giuliani replaces Art Massucci, another former U-D lineman. tic TV BY BOB LATSnAW He hadn't been there very long when he found that another officer in the PT boat flotilla was Larry Knorr, an end from Dayton who also played with the Lions last year.

What with Schibanoff and Knorr assigned to the mosquito fleet, Whizzer White on Admiral Hal-sey's staff in the same area and Tony Furst, a lieutenant in the artillery in Australia, the Lions could almost hold a reunion. Both Schibanoff and Knorr are ensigns. While on the subject of former Lions, Mandel said that he had heard from Ensign John Trip-son, another tackle who played with the Lions one year. Big Trip i- an instructor In the Navy's scout and raider school at Fort Fierce, Fla, He took part in the Allies' first landing in Africa and has a Navy Cross to show for his part. If this war is over in a hurry the Tigers will have several young ball players who will amaze the fans if you can take Wish Egan's word for it.

The Tiger's No. 1 Ivory hunter says that Hoot Evers is one of the finest prospects he has ever seen. He's ready for the big-' time, too, according to With. The youngster is playing with Lieut. Birdie Tebbetts' team in Waco, while learning to be a good soldier.

"Evers can do Eran claims. "He has a fine arm, can roam all over the outfield and has an unusual knack of taking off with the crack of the bat for a fly ball and getting to the right spot." Ted Gray, the former Highland Park High School pitcher, and. of course, Johnny Lipon are a couple of others. Johnny McHale will be one of the major leagues' best power hitters, according to Egan, but McHale may take a little long er to develop. TODAY 1 i immiit i i iwrin iirum tit Dorais" only comment on the new Lion is: "He's the nearest thing td little Mickey McLaughlin that I've ever seen." McLaughlin gave Gus near heart failure for three seasons by continually fading deeper and deeper into his own territory when apparently trapped, before breaking loose for long runs.

Fenenbock often uses the same tactics to gall the opposition and thrill the fans. Gus Dorala, while coach at U. of usually had a little man with big stuff in his backfield somewhere for fan appeal, and now that he's head man of the Lions it looks as though the tradition has followed him. The little fellow with the big: bunch of fan appeal this time is Chuck Fenenbock, former UCLA and San Francisco Packers halfback, who promises to be one of the most colorful men on the Lions' roster.

Keif er Brewiag Think what opportunities wives will have to "check up on their husbands in the Age of Electronics which is now being born. Scientists predict that within ten years the magic of the electron may give us tiny walkie-talkie radio sets which will enable wives to talk to husbands on the way to the office or on their "nights off." Actually there is almost no limit to the possible accomplishments of this new miracle' science electronics. What's YOUR Score? BY THE KEV. FREDERICK D. TYNER Sector of St.

Lake' Church. Minneapolii. Go off for a week's trip with a congenial and experienced fisherman; share the cooking; the campmaking; all the incidentals to such a trip, and you will soon get to know something of the man you never knew before; you will soon learn to find the big ones and get an inspiration that will stay with you for a long time. One Saturday a school boy saw a man catching butterflies. He followed him around and wanted to know all about it.

The next Saturday the man was out doing the same thing. The boy was there again. They became "great friends. Then the boy started catching butterflies. The man took him to his house and showed him his collection and how the moths, butterflies, beetles and bugs were preserved, arranged and classified.

A few years later the boy entered a university, and made a careful study of entymology, the study of insects. When he graduated, the Government gave him an important position in Washington in his chosen field. A man decided to put prayer to a test. He kept at it for some time and discovered that he had a consciousness and realization of the Almighty of which he had never dreamed before. God was no longer a theory to be discussed, but a Person one could know.

He found the solution of many of the most difficult and knotty problems of his personal and business life and he also found that he had the power and energy to face situations with the courage that makes a man successful in every sense of the word. What's YOUR score? WAR OF NERVES Lions Take Giants' Test Seriously Br DALE STAFFORD Tin Tret Sport Editor AKRON, Sept. 11 The Detroit Lions will rjlay their last just-for-fun football game here! Sunday when they engage tne New York Giants in an exhibition contest in the Rubber BowL The kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p. m. and an 'attendance of approximately 15,000 spectators is forecast.

The Lions will open their National Football League schedule one week from Sunday against the Chicago Cardinals at Briggs Stadium. One of the results of the Giant game will be to pare the Lion roster from 36 men to the National League limit of 28. Three members of the squad did not make the trip to Akron because of leg injuries. They are Tackle Ted Pavelec and James Kipp and Fullback Morgan Gin-grass. Coach Charles E.

(Gus) Dorais will use the two unit system against the Giants, who have one team of veterans and a fair amount of new talent. RETURNING VETERANS The first Lion eleven will include seven players who were with the club last year. The veterans are End Bill Fisk, Tackle Augie Lio, Center Alexander Wojciechowicz and Backs Bill Callihan, Ned Mathews, Lloyd Cardwell and Harry Hopp. Newcomers on the Varsity eleven are Guards Lyle Rocken-bach and Tony Rubino, Tackle Frank Kaporch and End Ben Hightower. Hightower is not without previous professional experience, though, having played with the Cleveland Rams.

The other unit consists of Ends Jack Matheson and Bob Layden, Tackles Ed Opalewaki and James Ashcom, Guards Riley Matheson and Sonny Liles, Center Gerry Conlee and Backs Murry Evans, Charles Fennenboch, Art Van Tone and Elmer Hackney. Evans and Hackney are Lion Veterans while Riley Matheson was a star guard for Cleveland for several seasons. RETURN MATCH Two other exhibition games are (scheduled Sunday. At Baltimore, the Chicago Bears and Washington Redskins play in the 1943 version of their championship game of last December. On that occasion the Bears were the victims tt a stunning 14-6 upset.

A week ago. the Redskins and Green Bay drew a crowd of 45,000 fans in Baltimore's Municipal Sta-jdhim and Sunday's turnout is expected to be even larger. Pittsburgh the Packers will jeppose the newly combined Philadelphia-Pittsburgh team.

The Broncos start out against Central Michigan at ML Pleasant with one eye on their batue a week later with the University of Michigan and the other on their own immediate reputation, xor Central may be tough. In trimming Alma last Friday night, the Chippewas served! notice that they will be gunning for a good year.

Central's 13-6 victory In its season inaugural was the first defeat for Alma in 14 straight games since 1940. It was Central's eighth straight since 1941. Western, operating from the formation, probably is going to show a strong passing attack this season what with numerous tos- sers in the lineup. me Broncos' passers include Capt. Bob Mellen, who has quar-terbacked the team to 12 victories in 13 games of the last two years; Dick Kieppe, former Michigan State "halfback now in an armed forces unit here; Ken Kistner, quarterback; Dick Geske, fullback; Fred Stevens and Harry Henigan, halfbacks, and Law Calufetti.

a fullback from Southern Illinois. probably will rely on Mellen and Kieppe, with help from Geske, Henigan and Mike Milosevics, a quarterback. If Geske doesn't start against Central because of his leg injury, the fullback job will fall to either Calufetti or Augie Camarata, of Iowa Teachers. Top candidates for the other tnree posts are Kieppe and John Ferris, of Montana, for the half- oacKS, and Mellen for Quarterback. Coach Gill figures on playing every man ne can against the Chippewas for testing with the Micwgan game in mind.

Leading the way on the line at enas are carl Schiller, of Montana: Melvln Kendall and Rolla Ander son, of Southwestern Missouri, C. V. Brown, of Indiana State; Charles Kalbsfleish, of Michigan Normal; Glen Rodney, of South eastern Missouri; Fred Funk, of western Illinois, and Charles Mc-Caliister, of Southwestern Mis souri, are at tackles.
