Even the kibitzers are intent as they watch this second-round match during last night's City Cribbage tournament play at the American Legion home. Vic Shewman, seated at left, is just about to put the whammy on VFW Champion Ernest Kranich in a second-round match that went the full seven games. At the start of this hand, Shewman needed five holes to win but had to peg them since Kranich had first count. Shewman pegged three and is here shown just about to play the six-spot for a two-point 31-count that won him the game and eliminated Kranich. The kibitzer at the top right with the painted necktie is Rollie Slittler, 1948 city champion who lost out in the second round last night. (Story on page 15).

Area of Change: There have been many changes along E. Stadium Blvd. near Washtenaw Ave. since last year at this time, as this aerial photograph reveals. Nearly 40 homes have been built by the Slavik firm of Detroit in Ann Arbor Woods. To the right of the Howard Johnson restaurant, just off Stadium near the bottom, is the first unit under construction of a new motel. It will be the Lampost Motel and will house 34 rooms. Builders Roberts and Brown expect to expand it to 67 units in the future. Ann Arbor Woods eventually will include 300 houses, so it appears as if there will be more changed here long before next year at this time. This also is the arch of a proposed shopping center disputed in City council meetings.
