This week, when they play each other, both Michigan and Northwestern fans will know a little more about which of their teams is championship bound...
...someone like tireless Lou Boudreau, the Indians' manager and shortstop, the man who would be most remembered in the 1948 Series. He was not only the brain of Cleveland's keyed-up baseball organism, he was also the heart of it. Boudreau's pick-off play (catching a runner off base) was easily the Series' most spectacular play, and an example of his drill-order perfectionism. The first time it was tried, Boudreau tagged Runner Phil Masi, and thought he had him (the pictures seemed to bear him out) but Umpire Bill Stewart called the runner...

At war's end, with $2,000,000 in capital and the backing of such Hollywood bigwigs as Jimmy Stewart, Brian Aherne and Darryl Zanuck, they got a three-year experimental charter from CAB for their West Coast feeder service...
