TIGERS AND CUBS TANGLE
IN TENSE WORLD SERIES
Hank Borowy and Bill Nicholson plus the rest of the
Cub team proved that they were still king of the beasts
when they tangled with the Tigers in the first game of
the 1945 World Series. But Virgil Trucks and Hank
Greenberg together with their teammates showed that
they knew something of lion taming when they took
the Little Lions in the second game.
Army And Navy Teams Get
Off To Powerful Start
Most of the big college football teams.that hadn’t got-
ten underway Saturday, Sept. 22, had games last Sat-
urday. Army; the team considered to be the strongest
in the country, won a breather over the Twelfth District
Airforce Command, 32-0. Navy, also considered very
powerful, smashed Villanova, 49-0.
In the first game' the Cubs
got off to a fast lead with
four runs in the first inningl
off the Tiger starting pitch-
er, Hal Newhouser. And be-
fore Hal left the game in the
third inning, the Chicago
team had added three more
runs. The Cubs added their
final two runs in the sev-
enth, one a homer by Phil
Cavarretta.
Meanwhile, Hank Borowy
liad the Bengals eating out
of his hand by tossing some
magnificent pitching. When-
ever he did get into trouble,
his mates wiped the Tigers
off the bases with a double
play. Bill Nicholson shared
the honors by shattering the
Tiger morale with his base
clearing triple in the first
inning. He also drove in a
run in the sixth, making his
total three runs batted in.
Final Score: Chicago 9, De-
troit 0.
The paid attendance for
the first game was ’54,637.
In the second game the
superb pitching of Trucks
and the timely hitting of
Greenberg proved the Cub
undoing. The Cubs parted
out with two hits and it
seemed as though they would
make a repeat of the first
game, but a perfect throw
to home plate by Hank
Greenberg caught Stan Hack
as he was trying to score and
! the Cub threat was quelled.
In their half of the second
inning the Tigers had ’two
men on base, hut left them
stranded.
Cavarretta stretched a hit
into a double in the fourth
and Nicholson came through
with a single to put the Cubs
ahead 1-0.
But their lead didn’t last
long. In the fifth with two
out, Webb singled for De-
troit, Mayo drew a base on
balls, Cramer singled scoring
Webb and then Greenberg
repeated his performance of
the last game of the season
with St. Louis by homering
to the left field stands, scor-
ing three more runs.
Both teams settled down
to steady hall and the game
finished with that score, De-
troit 4, Chicago 1.

Notre Dame Whips
Illinois; Coach
Now Feels Better
Hugh Devore, new coach
at Notre Dame, feels a little
better about his squad now
that they defeated Illinois
7-0 last Saturday. Before the
game he was quoted as say-
ing, “I even hate to talk
about the coming season.”
With 130 husky lads turn-
ing out this season, Devore
might have been taking a
page from the book of his
predecessor, Ed McKeever,
now at Cornell. Ed didn’t
like the team’s chances for
the 1944 season, but the boys
brought him 8 wins out of 10
games, losing only to Army
and Navy.
The 1945 squad has nine
returning lettermen, of
whom four are backs. The
line averages between 200
and 205 pounds and has vet-
erans at center, both guard
posts, and left end and right
tackle.
With the throwing arms
of Frank Dancewica and Joe
Gasparelle seeing action last
Saturday, the Irish took to
the air several times and the
same may be expected
throughout the season.
