Chamberlin Dies PHILADELPHIA OP) Perm sylvania took the wraps off couple of seventeen-year-old kids from New Jersey and came up with an early season upset by handing highly touted Duke, 1943 Southern Conference champion, an 18 to 7 defeat on wet, fog-bound Franklin Field. The youngsters, each appearing in his first college game, were Al fred J. Sica, V-12 student from Toms River, N. and Anthony S.

(Jack) Minisi of Newark and they practically settled the issue in the first 18 seconds. On the first play, after seventeen-year-old Eddie Lawless of Philly had run the kickoff back 34 yards to Duke's 46, Sica faded back, hit Minisi on the 16-yard line with a beautiful pass, and Minisi romped over wtih a touchdown without a hand touching him. EIGHT MINUTES later, and back on Duke's eight-yard line after a neat 22-yard jaunt around end by the same pair went at it again. Sica took the pass from center, faked a pass out front, turned to heave a short lateral to Minisi, and the latter floated the ball into the end zone where Wayne Helman, end, await ed it for the second and clinching touchdown. Early in the second session Duke's Tom Davis tossed an 18- yard pass to tiordon Carver tor a touchdown, and Harold Raether came in to boot the extra-point placekick which dragged Duke up to within shooting distance at 7-12, but that was the last gesture for the Blue Devils, who only a week ago smothered Richmond under a 61 to 7 avalanche.

HOERNSC IIEMEYElt offensive efforts deserve comTiendation, but at least equal praise belongs to John Tavener, the Indiana center who played tackle cn offense. Tavener directed both Indiana's attack and defense. He was particularly effective on tre offense.

The merit of Tavener's strategy on attack is shown by the fact that Indiana required only 24 plays to cover 138 yards in its three touchdown marches. MICHIGAN HIT a high note only in opening half. In che first 10 minutes the Wolverines were on the march and had three different chances to score. The first drive stalled when Bob Nuss-baumer fumbled and John Cannady recovered for Indiana on the 30. Indiana promptly lost the ball on Harry Jagade fumble.

Bill Renner recovering. The Wolverines drove to the 13-yard line and then accumulated only eight yards in the next four plays. Hoernschemeyer's punt was practically blocked by Clem Bau-man, and Michigan had the ball on the Hoosier 21. Wiese promptly fumbled and Sundheim recovered for Indiana. That stopped Michigan and changed the picture of the game.

THE FIRST Indiana touchdown came early in the second quarter under adverse circumstances. The Hoosiers took the ball on their 44 and rolled to a first down, but on the next play a holding penalty pushed Indiana back to their 43. Hoernschemeyer then passed to Bob Ravensburg for 21 yards and George Sundheim made it first down on the Michigan 34. Hoernschemeyer picked up 10 yards in two end runs', Dick Deranek added 19 and Hoernsche meyer gained four more to put the bail on the one. Sundheim cracked left guard for the score, but Tavener missed the point.

IN THE closing minutes of the third quarter Hoernschemeyer passed to Abe Addams for 27 yards. The Statue of Liberty play, with Addams taking the bail from Hoernschemeyer, gained 29 yards and Jagade punched over for the touchdown. An amazing catch of Hoernschemeyer's 38-yard pass by Ted Klu-szewski was the chief factor in the final touchdown in the last quarter. From Michigan's 27 Deranek and Jagade gained 19 yards and Hoernschemeyer circled left end to score. Indiana had four scoring chances and made good on three.

In contrast, Michigan was presented with four opportunities but failed to make a point. This Is One of the HALTED BY errors of omission and commission in the third quarter, Illinois was badly outplayed as Great Lakes scored 20 points to take a seven-point lead. However, Substitute Tackie tValt Versen recovered Jim Mello's fumble in the closing minutes of the final quarter to give Illinois the ball on Great Lakes' 30-yard line. Five plays moved the ball to the 10, and Greenwood passed to Patterson, who caught it on the five and scored. Orville Hall, third-string fullback, kicked the extra point to tie up the game with three minutes to go.

Tin Continued from First Sport Page the start and the Tigers solved him for two runs in the first two innings. They did not put the game in the Tiger bag until the seventh, however. In that frame. Rudy York opened with his eighteenth home run of the season.

Before the senor had a chance to recover the Tigers got to him for three more hits, which, with a base on balls and a bad throw by Carres-quel. meant two more runs and the ball game. After York hit his homer, Dick Wakefield beat out an infield single, Jimmy Outlaw beat out a bunt and Carrasquel made a wild throw to first that put Wakefield on third and Outlaw on second. Joe Hoover struck out and New-houser flied to left after Paul Richards was given an intentional pass that filled the bases. Then Old Doc Cramer blasted Carras-quel's first pitch over first for a double that sent in the two deciding runs.

THE TIGERS got two more runs in the eighth on singles by New-houser, Cramer and Mayo and a passed ball. They were very comforting when Joe Kuhel. Mike Guerra. Johnny Sullivan and Pinch-Hitter Porter Vaughn punched Newhouser for successive singles in the ninth. But after two runs were in Ed Butka was sent to bat for George Myatt and struck out.

Newhouser then threw out Gilberto Torres, ending the game. The Tigers got 13 hits off Carrasquel and Roger Wolff, who followed him. York, with a homer and two singles, and Cramer, with a double and two singles, paced the attack. They drove in five of the Tigers' runs.

BY TRUMAN STACEY MILWAUKE The Detroit Lions, a discredited team two weeks ago, will open their National Pro League season Sunday with hopes buoyed by recent success. The Lions draw as their first league foe the pace setters. Green Bay's Packers, who shackled the Bears last week.

The Packers opened the season with the most respected team in the league, and added enormously to their prestige with victories over the Bears and the Brooklyn Tigers. OAC GUS DORAIS. however, has remade his Detroit team since jts disastrous start two weeks ago, and has hopes it will be able' to c-ope with the charge of the Packer veterans. The addition of hardhitting Bob Westfall, the former Jltchigan terror, more than doubled Ihe Lions' power on the ground. The Lions forsook the formation for all major purposes, and are depending once more upon the box, with which both Dorais and his are fully familiar.

The addition of Westfall has enhanced the value of Frankie Smkwich to a considerable extent. No longer overburdened with the entire offensive program, his passing and ball carrying- have improved in proportion. AN EFFECTIYE defense against Hutson which does not sacrifice too much strength in another theater has never been achieved, and Dorais' hope is to outscore the lanky Alabaman. Hutson is the Green Bay spearhead, but does not represent the Packers' only threat. Lou Brock, who twice for touchdowns against the Bears; Ivy Comp, who pitched a touchdown pass to Hutson and scored once himself; Larry Craig, Ted Fritsch and Joe Laws Bre backs who furnish motive power for a well-balanced attack.

The Bears, knocked out of the running for the first time since pre-war days, will meet a Baugh-less Washington team in a Sunday exhibition at Chicago's Wrigley Field.
