The scheduled matches send a pair of heavyweights into the ring in both the opener and the windup, and all four of the big boys weigh a hulking 200-plus. Main-eventer Hans Schmidt, at 248. is the heaviest. Schmidt tangles with Johnny Marrs of Cincinnati in the headline match.

Schmidt and Marrs are replacements for Kostas Davelis and Otto Kuss, originally scheduled to appear. An injury Kuss sustained in a match last weekend forced the substitution. The match will pit two entirely different westlins stvles against each other. Marrs has been wrestling since he was 15 years old and relies on speed and savvy to carry him through. Schmidt is a powerhouse who likes to employ a little rough stuff.

Girls in Semi-Windup. Two girl grapplers, weighing in at a shapely 140 pounds, will fill the semi-windup spot. They are Ramona Rundquist, Minnesota women's champion, and La Verne Hart of Chicago.

Carter, Aragon Fight For Lightweight Title LOS ANGELES (ff) That hardy, muscle-throated specimen of sports, the fight fan.

moved closer to the usual bedlam today as champion Jimmy Carter of New York and challenger Art Aragon of Los Angeles prepared to enter the ring at the Olympic auditorium tonight to battle for the world lightweight title. Carter, the 27-year-old Negro who blasted Ike Williams out of the title by a 14-round knockout in New York last May 25, is a slight betting favorite in this, his first defense of the crown. Aragon, 24-year-old Mexican who revels in the nickname of "Golden Boy," may be quoted as an even wager, or possibly a slim favorite, by fight time. Aragon was given a split decision over Carter in a 10-round non- title match here last Aug. 28.

Outgunned by land and air, the Ohioans hope to march to victory on the wings of song.

"We can beat Illinois on spirit," said Ernie Godfrey, assistant coach of the Ohio team and the man who scouted Illinois this season. "We're going to work on it all week. By Saturday, we'll have these boys so high they'll play better football than they ever thought they could play." Valley Conference Meeting Today Members of the Wisconsin Valley Conference are meeting today at Stevens Point. The primary business at hand was the drafting of a 1952-53 basketball schedule and a new football schedule to start in 1953. Also on tap was the approval of basketball officials for this season and the awarding of football medals for the season just closed.

Champion Stevens Point earned gold medals for its players, runner-up Wausatt got silver medals and third- place Wisconsin Rapids received bronze medals for its players, runner-up Wausau got silver medals and third-place Wisconsin Rapids received bronze medals. More Red Sox Trades on Way BOSTON that the Boston Red Sox have made their first 1952 four player straight swap with the Chicago White Sox Manager Joe Cronin and Lou Boudreau, the new pilot, indicate they will do much more player dickering during next month's baseball meetings. They did not need owner Tom Yawkey's fabulous bankroll, obtaining outfielder-first baseman Don Lenhardt and veteran pitcher Randy Gumpert in exchange for young southpaw Chuck Stobbs and rookie infielder Mel Hoderlein. But they indicate they have their multi-milliona'ire boss primed to top all rivals for much needed catching strength and a competent second base replacement for the retired. Bobby Doerr.

Boudreau paved the way for the deal in a conference with White Sox general manager Frank Lane Tuesday in Chicago. "It's fine for a starter," Boudreau said in a telephone interview. "And there'll be more deals soon if we can strengthen our catching and infield weaknesses without giving up too much." "Lenhardt should do a lot of good," Boudreau continued, "He's a long righthanded hitter and should be able to add 30 points to his .265 average playing 77 games in Fenway Park. "And Gumpert will be a great help in relief. Now we will be able to save Ellis Kinder for the late innings.

Baugh, playing his 15th season for I the Washington Redskins, became the leading contender for the crown he's won six times. A week ago Baugh was far down in the standings because of insufficient passing attempts. Now he's No. 2 with successful aerials in 78 tries for a total gain of 641 yards.

Van Brocklin, understudy for flashy Bob Waterfield, continues to shine, connecting 63 times in 127 attempts for 1,192 yards. He's averaged 9.39 yards per in the Baugh second with 8.22. Green Bay's Bobby Thomason has the best completion average, 60.1, hitting strikes 92 times on 153 attempts but his average gain was only G.39 yards putting him 14th in the standings. Cleveland's Otto Graham, with, an 8.19 yard gain per try, is the third best passer followed by Detroit's Bobby Layne and Jim Hardy of the Chicago Cardinals.

Hirsch has tallied 66 points, catching 11 TD passes, to lead Philadelphia's Bob Walston by two points. Horace Gillom, Cleveland, is still the league's best punter, averaging 45.6 yards a boot.

Karras, who has scored 12 touchdowns, one less than the Illini season record shared by Red Grange and Buddy Young, is the workhorse of the razor sharp Illini attack. But the Argo, 111., express isn't run to death by clever O'Connell, has an uncanny knack of knowing when the opposition is set up for a damaging pass. Need Spring Drills, State Coaches Say By the Associated Press Football coaches at Wisconsin's two universities Tuesday said they were in favor of retaining spring practice when questioned about Yale's decision to abolish those drills.

Ivy Williamson of Wisconsin and Lisle Blackbourn of Marquette both said there was no reason to believe practice harmed an athlete's scholastic work. "A player can have a better opportunity to show what he can do in spring drills," Williamson said. "Abolition of spring practice would not aid in de-emphasis of football in any way." Blackbourn commented: "Spring drills make for a better football team in the fall, and we are all agreed that that is what we are seeking. They give less skillful or experienced boys a chance to get the feel of things and possibly even get on the squad, which might not be possible if they did not come out until September. Work would have to bo hurried if only fall practices were- permitted, and would tend to more injuries." Rochester Holds Top; Whips Howks, 91-75 By the Associated Press The Rochester Royals, defending champions of the- National Ba.sket- baJJ Association, scorn intent on maintaining their supremacy.

Strengthening their grip oh the of the Western Division, the veteran Royals thumped the newcomers of the league, the Milwaukee Hawks, 91-75, Tuesday night, to register their third straight victory, and fourth in five starts. The second place Minneapolis Lakers kept pace with the Royals by recording their fourth success in seven outings. The Lakers, leading all the way, downed Indianapolis 77-71. Brilliant performances by Philadelphia's Paul Arizin and Joe Fu'ks weren't enough for the Warriors, who bowed to the New York Knickerbockers, 85-82. Arizin and Fulks scored 28 points each in an Eastern Division game that saw the Knicks' bring their season's record to 'A-'A.

(NBA) Bleak Outlook Ahead for Minocqua's Cage Squad (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series of articles concerning prospects in the Northern Lakes Conference basketball season Just ahead.) A bleak basketball season, looms for Minocqua as only one letterman, Bob Steele, returns from last year. Graduation was- the damaging factor for mentor Don Dickinson as it claimed seven cagers off thr, 1950-51 sjquad. Lost to the Islanders this year are such stalwarts as Clair Jowette and Tom Dorwin, forwards; Jerry Grundy and Jerry Bassett, guards, and Ronnie Niske and Roger Roper, who worked the pivot spot.

So it's from scratch that Dickinson starts the 1951-52 season. However, there is one consolation for Islander coach. The re- veteran, Steele, is one of he best cagers in the Northern Conference. He was an all- selection last year and was seventh in individual scoring with a total of 212 points to his credit. An all around good ballplayer, Steele will be the main cog in the Islanders' cage machine.

Another bright spot for Minocqua will be Ed Knackstedt. An up and coming eager, Knackstedt has caught the eye of Dickinson as being a potential star. He and Steele should prove to be the scoring power of the team. Start Season Nov. 30.

Coach Dickinson expresses little hope of developing another first division squad. Too many losses through graduation and the greenness of everyone on the ground, with the exception of Steele, will cause a lot of trouble against other outfits who have several veterans. Last year the Islanders copped third place in the -league. They racked up nine wins against five defeats and only Three Lakes and Eagle River had better marks. A highly spirited team, the Islanders just might, under the able tutelage of Dickinson, shrug off their greenness and climb the ladder again.

Bruin Wing Has Serious Eye Cut By the Associated Press The career of Penti Lund, working left winger of the Boston Bruins, is in grave danger today.

Lund, only Finnish-born player in the National Hockey League, suffered a serious "eye injury Tuesday night as the Bruins dropped a 3-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks, The 25-year-old forward was ac- cidently cut by former Bruin Clare Martin's stick in the second period. He was removed to the Massachusetts eye and ear infirmary. Dr. Thomas Cavanaugh diagnosed his injuries a cut right eyelid. He said he did not consider immediate surgery needed.

He advised Lund to wear a mask over both eyes while resting them for the next 48 hours. Chicago pumped home two goals in the first period while Boston was shorthanded.
