Dick As of TODAY Ex-GIs Establish Illinois as 'Team to Beat9 in Big 9 BY LYALL SMITH Only 5 Hits in 10-0 Victory Hank and Wakefield 1 Blast Out Home Runs BY LYALL SMITH Fm Press Sport Editor All right, DON'T believe it.

The Tigers defeated Rapid Robert Feller, 10 to They belted him in the fourth inning like he ne'er was belted before by scoring eight runs and sending him to the safety of the dugout with only one batter retired! The big right-hander of no-hit no-run fame faced 22 Tigers in the three and one-third innings he toiled. He retired only 10 of them, gave up 11 hits including a double and a triple by Dick Wakefield, a two-run homer by Hank Greenberg and three doubles. Wakefield also slammed out a home run off Relief Pitcher Bob Lemon in the same big inning to five him a double, triple and circuit smash in his first three times at bat. THE SETBACK was Feller's twelfth of the season against 22 victories. It also was his third loss in succession, his sixth in last seven starts and his third straight to Detroit this season.

Freddie Hutchinson threw a five-hitter at the Indians to hand the Tribe its eleventh defeat In 14 games with the Tigers. But the brilliance of Freddy actually was overshadowed by the debacle to Feller. The throng of 20,814 fans seemed stunned when Bob walked dejectedly off the mound. And Feller must have felt the same way, too. Everybody hit him.

Only in the first inning was he in control and even then he gave up an infield single. In the second Wakefield opened scored Webb. with a two-bagger and on a single by Skeeter CAME THE FANTASTIC fourth and Dick again was first up. He belted out a tremendous smash that hit the wall in center field on the first hop for a triple. Roy Cul-lenbine singled him home.

Webb picked up his second straight hit before Birdie Tebbetts grounded out. Hutchinson then singled and Eddie Lake walked. George Kell followed with a double to score two more runners and Hoot Evers duplicated Hell's trick with George holding up at third. Hank Greenberg then boomed his thirtieth home run of the year and his second of all time off Feller to score two men ahead of him for the eighth run of the frame. Feller then departed.

LEMON' SUCCEEDED Bob and just in order to round out a day of slugging, Wakefield greeted him with a home run that was his ninth of the year and marked his seventh straight hit over the last three games. Hutchinson pitched the kind of hall that was expected of Feller. He walked only two men, fanned three and faced only 31 batters to chalk up his tenth victory against 11 setbacks. Not only was he given an abundance of base hits by his mates 13 but he also was handed sensational fielding support. He gave up a single to Hank Edwards in the first inning and another to Russ Peters in the second before retiring 13 Indians in order.

Came the seventh and Edwards opened with the third Cleveland safety. Les Fleming then doubled. But after Freddy fanned Don Ross, Webb stabbed a liner back of second in astounding fashion and turned it into a nifty twin killing. KELL CAME UP with two beauties on grounders in the eighth and when it was all over the consensus had to be that the Tigers had played their best game of the year.

LOUIS (U.R) The plan to increase major league schedules from 154 to 168 games and thereby enrich big league coffers has been abandoned by clut owners, Sid C. Keener, sports editor of the St. Louis Star Times, reported.

Keener, quoting an "official source," said that the magnates would adhere to the old schedule of 154 games next year, and that official announcement would be made within a few days. IN NEW YORK, Ford C. Frick, National League President, refer ring to the report, said: "There is nothing to that yet." Keener said that the matter was broached at the recent joint conference in Chicago and the owners were favorably impressed with the idea to add to box-office receipts. They also hoped to offset the increased expense of the new $5,000 minimum player salary. The owners agreed to submit the suggestion to a secret vote and it was vetoed.

Keener added, No official tabulation will be made public, however. Giant Homers Clip Phils, 6-5 NEW YORK (U.R) Outfielder Jack Graham cracked his second home run of the day in the ninth inning with two mates on base to give the New York Giants a 6-5 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Shook downed the Detroit Golf Club pro, 1 up, on the twenty- first hole. OXL.Y ONCE over the entire stretch was there a difference of more than one hole between the two. Smith held a two-up advantage coming to the eighth tee, but Shook banged in a birdie deuce there. And from then on it was nip and tuck until Smith's putter failed him. Smith's downfall was the only break in the line of favorites in the opening-round matches, although several of the title threats were given good scares.

Chick Harbert, the home-town lad who put on a garrison finish to win medal honors in the morning with a par 72 the only par golf of the qualifying round was carried to the eighteenth green before beating Frank Walsh, of Red Run, 1 up. And Sam Byrd, the defending champion from Plum Hollow, had to extend himself to conquer Leo Conroy, of North and 1. IN CONTRAST, Joe Belfore, of the Country Club of Detroit, played par golf to crush Ed Van Poppering, of Grand Rapids, 6 and 5, while Al Watrous had little trouble disposing of E. W. Harbert (Chick's dad), 6 and 5.

Among the other contenders. Tommy Shannon, of Orchard Lake, was three under regulation figures while conquering Herman Fiebig, of Knollwood, 7 and 6, and Gib Sellers eliminated Bill Barclay, of the University of Michigan, 1 up. Byrd caught a tartar in Conroy, but came through with winning shots when they were needed. Three times on the back nine Sam canned putts of more than 20 feet to halve holes. THE GREATEST finish was provided by Danny Nowak, of Grand Rapids, who spent two years in a German prison camp.

Two down with three holes to play, he won them all to upset Jimmy Gantz, of Bonnie Brook, a. up. Gantz got some consolation by winning the driving contest and $100 with a shot of 305 yards. He beat out Chick Harbert. one of the country's longest drivers, who smashed off the first tee for 298 yards.

(U.R) Ronald E. Knapp, of Sydney, N. former Penn State halfback, has been appointed-assistant football coach at Dickinson College. Tiger Averages BATTING IT'S NO SECRET around the Western Conference this year that the team to beat or else be beaten by is Illinois Down at Champaign, Coach Ray Eliot is making like a contented hen as his chicks scattered everywhere during the war come home to roost and play football. And, as might be expected, on their travels those wayfaring little chicks also picked up a few other of the same, who followed them to Illinois and who also are well acquainted with the size, bounces and ecentricities of a football.

Eliot's first year at Illinois was '42 and he made an auspicious debut. Next season the Marine Corps shifted Fullback Tony Butkovich and Linemen Alex Agase, Frank Bauman, Joe Buscemi, Mike Kasap and Johnny Genis to Purdue, where they promptly sparked the Boilermakers to a share of the Big Nine title. That same year a halfback named Julie Kykovich" was transferred to Notre Dame, where he was a notable feature in the attack of the Irish. In 1944 the talk of the conference was a speedy little Negro halfback named Claude (Buddy) Young. He tied the record of Red Grange by scoring 13 times in one season and was headed for even greater performances when the Navy beckoned.

Mates Back Brecheen with 13 Hits Waitkus Gets Homer to Prevent Shutout ST. LOUIS (U.R) Southpaw Harry Brecheen, backed up with a thirteen-hit attack by his mates. pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The triumph enabled the Cards to maintain their two-game lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Brecheen, bagging his twelfth victory, gave up eight hits. Three of the safeties went to Cub First Baseman Ed Waitkus, who pounded out his fourth home run of the season in the seventh inning to prevent a shutout. CHICAGO ST.

Joe Ponsetto Lost to U-M Physicians Order Star Quarterback to Quit ANN ARBOR The knee injury which Quarterback Joe Ponsetto suffered in last year's Illinois-Michigan game has cost the Wolverines the use of their first-string signal-caller for the' 1946 season. Physicians at University Hospital advised the All-Conference quarterback from Flint to give up the game.

He reported to the hospital for exam i a i when the knee pained him following Wednes-day's practice session. Last winter the knee was operated on. Doctors said the operation was successful, but doubted whether Ponsetto it would stand the strain of football. PONSETTO, WHO was slated to start his third year as regular quarterback for the Maize and Blue, appeared for Thursday's practice, but was not in uniform. Coach Fritzf Crisler planned to confer with the university physicians following the workout.

In Ponsetto's absence, Crisler is expected to make Pete Elliott the No. 1 quarterback, and Howard Yerges his understudy. Major League Leaders LEADING BATSMEN NATIONAL LEAGl'K It AB Pet. Matial. St.
