(Bs The Associated Press) Another "shift" of deer hunters moved into northern Michigan today to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in the woods. Their presence increased the possibility that last year's total of 33 fatalities would be surpassed this season. Eighteen persons--more than half the 1944 total--have died in the hunt during the first six days of the 16-day season.

The latest casualty reported was James Stenfors, 21, of Crystal Falls. He was shot through the chest by an unidentified hunter in Iron county and died en route to a hospital. Eight of the total have been killed by gunfire, seven have succumbed to heart attacks brought on by exposure and exertion and three have died of other causes. At least 28 other hunters have been wounded thus far. Of note on the lighter side was the bagging of a nine-point buck by Chester Love, 87-year-old nim- rod from Grant.

The state conservation department wheanwhile reported that nearly 500 hunters had been arrested for game law violations. Also luring new thousands to the woods was a weather bureau prediction of snow for the upper and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. DEFEAT BE Whipped 19 Completions Against Redskins, Takes Lead From Baugh. By JERRY LISKA Chicago yp-- Although he Is only tossing; for fun, Quarterback Sid Luckman of the bedraggled Chicago Bears is headed for his first National football league passing title. Luckirmn, whose smooth tossing brewed the Bears' into a wicked Mickey Finn just a lew years back, used to watch such flingers as Sammy Baugh and Flank Filchock Washington and Cecil Isbell of Green Bay walk off with the league aerial championship Now, with the Bears mired in their worst season since the league started 25 years ago, Luckman is setting the passing pace for Baugh and Cleveland's brilliant Bob Waterfield, whose respective teams are favored to win sectional titles.

19 Completions Luckman, who knows how little Davey O'Brien used to feel throwing his arm out for the ten lowly Eagles, whipped 19 completions, three for touchdowns, against Washington Sunday to wrest first-place from Baugh in the passing column. Under the league's grading system, Luckman took the lead by tying Baugh in number oi completions, 96, and topping him in yardage gained, 1,361 to 1,228, and in touchdown passes, 10 to 7. Baugh, however, has a better percentage of completions. .700 against .530, and has had only two passes intercepted, compared with seven errant Luckman tosses. Waterfield is third.

The battle for individual ground- gaining Jsurels still is a cozy race between Steve Van Buren of Philadelphia and Washington's Frank Akins. Van Buren a amassed 567 in 88 attempts, while Akins has 539 in 104. HURLEY LOSES Cardinals Win. From Ashland Five 28 to 24 on Home Floor.

The first quarter ended with DePadua leading 2 to 1 The- small score does not indicate the intensity of the play as it was fast and hard fought throughout but the boys were unable to locate the hoop consistently. The play continued fast and furious throughout the second quarter but better accuracy on shooting brought the score to Wakefield 11, DePaciua 10 0 By this time the Wakefiek! fans I leave Van Buren far behind in see- were warming up to an unlocked I ond with 66. Hutson has caught 42 for situation as DePadua was known passes for 779 yards, compared with to have a big and experienced team 32 receptions for 489 yards by run- and a good fight on the part of the Cardinals was all the fans hoped for. The second half opened with even faster and more furious play than the first half had shown if that were possible. Accuracy from the free throw line by Radowski built up a lead for the Cards with the third quarter ending 21-15.

Coach Mario Gianunzio's Hurley high school basketball team lost a heart breaking game to Ashland 41' to 39 on its home floor last night.

Axness paced the evening's scoring with nine field goals and four free throws for 22 points. Mezzano, Midget center, and Brown, forward, lead their team scoring with 17 and 16 points respectively.

Took the Lead Three free throws in the first period helped to give Hurley a 9 to 5 advantage at the end of the first period. Axness made two shots from under the basket at the start of the second, and with the help of a free throw by Carter, Ashland guard, put his team momentarily in 10-11 lead. However, pairs of field goals by Mezzano and Brown and others by Muehl and Geach helped Hurley to build up a 21 to 15 lead at the half. Axness found his height to an advantage in the third period by grabbing rebounds, while Carter, sank a pair of long shots to bring the gap down to 29-28 in favor of Hurley when the whistle blew. In the final period Mezzano opened the scoring for Hurley with a shot from the free throw circle, but Armstrong matched this with a rebound shot to make the score 31-30.

Mezzano sank a free throw, but Armstrong followed with a sleeper shot to tie the score at 32.

Ambrose hiet school teams last evening with reminiscences of the early style of pigskin tussles. The occasion was the annual football banquet given by the Ironwood Rotary and Kiwanu clubs in honor of the members of the local football squads. The dinner was served in the activity room of' the high school and prepared by the home economics students. "Little Clyde" was Dr. C.

C. Urquhart, physician and local health officer who was a member of the 1897 team and "Big Bill" was no less than W. G. Peterson of Caho- das-Peterson-Paoli Nast and scorer the 1903 eleven. Both speakers told interesting' stories of early football, tht type of men am', clays used then and contrasted the then no-rule restricted sport with the present day contest.

The large crowd, the excellence and abundance of food served and the real attention paid to the novel and interesting addresses indicated a successful gathering in every way. Best Hilltop Scoring. 1945 Marquette university football team became the highest scoring Hilltop grid machine since the 1922 undefeated eleven when it trimmed Kentucky last week end, 19 to 13. The current team has scored 198 points, and may surpass the 23-year-old record in meeting St. Louis university Thanksgiving Day.

The 1922 eleven ran up 213 points. Marquette's all time high was 348 points by the unbeaten 1917 powerhouse. Tex Coulter Picked By A. P. Scribes; Wisconsin's Mead Recognized.

New York--yp)--Army's peat line finally landed a hunk of individual recognition this week when Dewitt "Tex" Coulter, mountainous cadet tackle, was chosen by the Associated Press poll of the nation's sports writers az "lineman of the week." The bulking 222-pounder, who lias played a whale of a game in each o. Army's crushing victories this season, gained the honor in a wild balloting spree in which three of his teammates also were nominated as outstanding in Cadets' 61-0 triumph over Penn at Philadelphia. Coach George Munger of the Quakers certified the verdict of the writers by singling out Coulter as the lineman who did the most to bash his boys into defeat. His two-word description of Coulter was "just terrific." The other Cadet forwards who received at least one vote apiece were Tackle Al Guard Johnny Green and End Hank Foldberg. The fact that so many press bcx observers were unable to agree on which army lineman-was best gives, perhaps, an inkling of what Penn's ball carriers were up against.

Outside of the huzzahs for Coulter and company, the loudest drums were beaten for Ohio State's great Guard, Warren Amling. previous recipient of the "lineman'' award. Once again the midwest writers reported that he was the greatest lineman on the field in the Buckeyes' win over Illinois. Amling calls "ail the Ohio State defenses. "You can count his lapses on the fingers of one hand and have room to smoke a cigarette," one voter rhapsodized.

Eig six writers conceded the week's honors to Jim Kekeris, Missouri tackle, for his part in the win over Oklahoma. Other forwards to receive recognition included: Ends: J.ack Mead. Wisconsin; Ted Kluzewski, Indiana. Tackles. Mike Castronis, Georgia: Joe Kirkland, Virginia.

Guards: Ralph Graven, Drake; Doc Hoiloway, William and Mary. Center: Vaughn Mancha, Alabama.
