prove it,

will finish this season. Everyone
who knows baseball also knows that
the Yankees have most of the good

Bonnie Oosterbaan, pointing out
at the same time that the 1941
season was not particularly de-
li-htful to anyone except VOL
VERNE opponents.
Oosterbaan was in a rare
mood of coaching confidence at
the end of the week of practice
he has had with the squad.
potentially this is probably the
best outfit I've hac here" he
said.
"We're handicapped by a
shortage of time, caused by the
late football closing. We may
start slowly, but as the season
rolls on we should be mighty
tough. We're counting heavily
on Harold Anderson, Dave
Strack, Bob Wiese, and Don
Lund, four better-than- average
sophomores."
Anderson and Strack will be
in the starting lineup, together
with veterans Jim Mandler,
Ralph Gilbert, and Leo Doyle.
Anderson is six-footer from
Stambaugh in the upper PENN
sula and the possessor of an &C.
curate hook shot. Strack comes
from Hoosier-land, indianapolis,
and is tricky feeder and ball
handler. Strack stands about
five feet, 10 inches, but the other
four men will average six feet,
two inches.
Mandler is a senior and the
team captain, he was named to
the all-conference second team
as center for the past two years.
Gilbert is a forward who works
hard on the blackboard, and
Doyle is probably the best de-
tense member of the quintet.
Doyle, like Anderson, halls from
the upper peninsula.
Wiese is an excellent prospect
but because of the football sea-
son has practiced for only a
week. He will probably work
up to the starting lineup later
in the year. Lund will see act
ion at guard, as will Morrie BIZ
koff, a Junior. Mel Comm is
available at forward.
The Spartans were hard hit by
graduation, losing Chef Au-
buchon, Dudley Jones. and Joe
Gerard. Fred Stone is back and
Coach Ben Van Alstyne has built
a team around him and some
firstyear-men.
Michigan defeated State in
Ann Arbor last season. but the
Wolverines were w Hoped in a

Open Season
on Wednesday
No Championships
at Stoke; Just
Comes, Cooeh Soys

Coach Harvey Oliphant of the
Mount Clemens High school,
said today that the Bather cage
squad would open its basketball
season this Wednesday, instead
of Friday, as previously announ-
ced. The change in date was
brought about by the conflicting
of the game with the opening of
the Senior Play at the school.
The game will be played at
Mount Clemens.
Oliphant pointed out that all
games this year will be lust
basketball games" inasmuch as
regular Border Cities champion
ship tournaments in all branch
es of sports competition will be
out for the duration of the trans
portation crisis.
DROP SCHOOLS
Public transportation will be
used in getting to games this
season. This accounts for the
dropping of Fordson and Mon
roe from the cage schedule. Des-
pite this, however, full slate Of
IL games has been slated by Oil
plant.
Returning veterans on the
squad will be Bob White, Jim
Smith, Ralph Siewert, William
Roberts, Lyle Bliss, and Victor
Potoroka. This will probably
constitute the roster that will
see the most action.
II have lost the services OF
John Raspet and Jack Sierens,
two good basketballers,' Oil
phant said. The former has drop
ped out of school, and Sierens
is leaving for the Navy, he said,
Oliphant expects to develop
some material from his reserve
squad, including Jerry Contl,
William Brandenburg, William
Shaw, and Alvin Logic.
Reserve games will be held
prior to the regular tits during
the season.

Billiards
State Man

DETROIT, Dec. z - R) -
Michigan holds the world pocket
billiards championship for the
first time today through a clean
cut triumph by Willie Mosconi,
29-year-old ex-Philadelp h n
who now makes his home in
Leslie, Mich, and works in a
Jackson war plant.
Mosconi, who dominated the
week-long tournament from the
start, clinched the title Saturday
afternoon on the combination of
a victory over Erwin Rudolph
of Chardon, Ohio, and the tri-
umph of defending champion r.
wing Crane of Livonia, N. Y,
over second place Andrew Pom
ri of Philadelphia.
In their final match, Mosconi
whipped Ponzi that night to
complete a tournament perfor-
nance of nine victories and one
defeat. PonZi had six victories
against four defeats. The victory
brought Mosconi the champion
ship trophy and $1,000 in war
bonds.
Mosconi, who planned to be
back on the job today, was the
class of the tournament from the
moment he whipped Ponzi in the
first match, 25 to O. Willie
clicked off five victories before
Jimmy Caras of Philadelphia
upset him. By this time Ponzi
had staged a comeback to get
back in the running, but Mos
conf won his last furmota hc-it-

sis after both had tied in games

MORGAN T Q w N, w. Va,
Dec. Take the coach, captain,

ketball team and you usually
don't have much left.
Taking that much from a

Statistics Favor
Bears Over skins
Championship PIayon Set
for Washington. Sunday

The figures were gathered
during a season whose theme
song was the broken record
which repeated itself right down
to the end of the regular nation
al football league campaign yes
terday.
The Bears, who trimmed the
Chicago Cardinals Fl to al
lowing a freak touchdown in the
last quarter to spoil chances for
the best defensive scoring record
in Is years-hold these statisti-
cal advantages over the Red
skins for the 11-game season:
155 first downs to l49; 1873
yards gained to 1921; 1888
yards by rushing OF 1921; 1881
by passing to 1900; 376 points
scored to 227; "a points given up
to opponents to 102; SIG yards
gained against them by rushing
TO 843.
Washington's margin: 257 at
tempted forwards to 1872; 1877

percentage is lower, however) {;
II of their passes intercepted to
%; 45-yard punting average to
80; 61O yards lost by penalties
to COS; 1908 yards gained
against them by passing to 1,179.
THE FACTS
Filtering out the facts:
/. The passing and punting of
Sammy Baugh and the running
of Andy Farkas must offset the
tremendous line SCATTERING pow
err of Gary Famiglietti, Hugh
Gallarneau and Frank Maznicki,
the whizzing end dashes of Ray
Mclean and aerial work of the
Sid Luckman-C Charley O'Rourke
duo which mixes up a terrific
deceptive attack from the T.
2. The line play will be vicious
and the game may be determin-
ed by the men up front. The
Bear forwards are considered
stronger, especially in view of
superior reserve strength.
3. Washington possibly has the
better pass defense. And the &C
curacy of Baugh's passes is at
tested by fewer interruptions al
though he has thrown more than
the two Bear pitchers.
4. The playoff should be one
of the toughest in history. A
bundance of penalties show that
both teams play for keeps.

Block Hawks Were

One Month Ago
Nv the Associated Press

The Chicago Black Hawks,
resting in fifth place in the Ma
tional Hockey League only a
month ago, now are in undisput-
ed first place.
Although their defense corps
still reads like a hospital at
tendance list, the Hawks crash
ed through with S to 2 verdict
over the feeble Montreal Canad-
lens last night while the Detroit
Red Wings were being held to a
2 to tie by the Toronto Maple
Leafs.
Chicago and Detroit entered
last nights games in a first
place deadlock but the evening"
activities raised the Hawks to
the top for the first time and
dropped the Red Wings off the
perch, also for the first time.
While the two leaders were
busy in their own private feud,
Boston scored twice while the
New York Rangers were a man
short for a to 4 verdict.
INSURE LEAD
To insure their first place, the
Hawks pulled away to a 3 to 0
lead in the first period and were
still out in front by a 3 to 2
margin late in the final session
when Max Bentley powered
home his third goal Of the night.
Bob Carse followed with an I'M
needed marker minutes later.
Detroit had to come from be-
hind to gain its deadlock with
Toronto, Alex Motter rifling a
45-footer into the net midway
e the second session. Neither
