Coach Harry Stuhldreher again concentrated final home drill for the Iowa game on defense work against the Iowa passing attack and was none too well pleased with the reaction of his squad. I'at Harder, ace Wisconsin fullback, Is Still suffering from a bad cold but will undoubtedly be ready to take his place in the starting lineup against the Hawks. The Badgers will leave here early Friday morning, driving to Cedar Rapids, for a light session on Friday afternoon and continuing on to Iowa City on Sat urday morning.

Outside of liar der and George Makris, veteran guard who is bothered with a bad leg, the Badgers are in great shape for the contest. The team will return to Madi son immediately after the game 4 A 'ft t. THE GHOST EIroy Hirsch, Wisconsin's fleet-footed sophomore back, shows how he clears tackier in his clashes that have led him to fourth ranking in the nation in yards gained by rushing. Iowa has the assignment nf stopping him this week. Drake Line Again drill in which defense gave way to offensive preparations, Coach Eddift Anderson indi- cated that there is no certainty whatever about his starters at left halfback, fullback, center and right end.

About the only definite sugges tion involving the four open posi- itirina uua a etafn. nt that Chuck established rcgu- lar fullback, will not be in for the opening kickoff. Uknes will be held out of action at the outset but whether Hill Stauss of the se Itll. I. ST A I US.

nior contingent or Ted Lewis, Jim Ferguson or Dick Hoerner would be selected to start remained undecided. One of Three. At left halfback the doubt involved Duke Curran, Sam Vacant! and Ben Trickey, one of whom will be nominated for the opening assignment. Forrest Masterson, rugged sophomore center displaced in the last two games by Bob Lauterbach, a senior, has been in the thick of things all week and is considered ready for a. crack at the Badgers.

But as in the case of the other positions listed, the coach reserved decision on the probable starter. Even With Iiurkett. Bill Barbour, the Mason City sophomore with two 60-minute performances at right end to his credit, apparently has pulled up abreast of the veteran Bill Bur-kett. Barbour may get the nod Saturday but it is virtually certain that Burkett will see service. Par- ticularly on offense.

The senior end has figured loo prominently in Iowa's offensive tactics to bo sidetracked, now that be is whole again. Indications Thursday were that Bm Parkor at lt.ft cnd Eob yciton and Johnny Staak at the tackles, Gene Curran and Bob Pcnaluna at the guards, Tom Farmer at quar terback and Jim Youel at right half were certain starters. With business still brisk in the ticket offices, Charley Galiher, business manager of athletics, pre dicted a last pre-rationing turnout of at least 30,000 Saturday, if the weather is anywhere near normal. Under ideal conditions, Galiher said, the homecoming crowd might push up tow-ard the 35,000 figure. Game odds were beginning to seep in here Thursday from their mysterious sources, bring- lowa Continued on Page Two.

0m 1 rirst viciory Of Year, 14-0 By Bob Spiegel. Valley's Tigers finally kicked a dormant offense into the open on their home premises Thursday nignt, twice puncning tnrougn a surprised VVinterset team for their first victory of the season, 14 to 0. The unexpected triumph lifted Valley from the cellar of the South Central Iowa conference and handed Winterset its second reverse of the year, both in loop competition. For the first time, the Tigers combined yardage and scoring behind the charges of Fullback Rex Fisher. This jarring junior cracked across for both touchdowns and personally strode for 171 net yards In 21 carries.

Fisher wasn't alone, though. In the backficld slim Don Smith and darting Bill Carmody consistently cut through the Winterset defense for sizeable gains. Up front, End John Bosovich and Guard Virgil House led the charge of the Tiger line. Leno Gallardo, an alert lineback er, pushed the first Valley drive toward touchdown land when he intercepted a Jack Mease pass on the Winterset 25 midway in the first quarter. Fisher Counts.

Fisher blasted twice for 14 yards, then Quarterback Richard Rodriquez sneaked for five yards to the four-yard line. Fisher gained two, Carmody circled wide Valley Continued on Patje 4 CHUCK I'KNES IS SECOND WITH C.4 IN 3t CARRIES.

Settlement of the city gridiron race, one of the tightest in modern history, depends upon the outcome of the twentieth meeting of East and Roosevelt at Drake stadium tonight.

In the only. otner game involving a city 1 ven tonight, North High takes the road for engagement with 1 4 undefeated Iowa City. The Riders of Roosevelt, have managed only three tri umphs over in 19 years, tie Lincoln can for HANK TtltRF.l.U the city championship with a victory tonight. Otherwise, the Rail-splitters will gain their first, and undisputed, title. Still another incentive to Roosevelt will be the possibility of post-season game with Dowling.

In a pie-season action, the Des Moines athletic council agreed that the city victor should meet the Irish in a season finale. No race could be closer than the one being staged by the foVir Des Moines schools. In the four intracity conflicts played, one has resulted in a tie and the other three have been decided by a single point. Roosevelt and Lincoln cams through with the deadlock, 6 to 6, while both clubs edged North on identical 7 to 6 scores. Then, last week, the Railsplitters stunned East's defending champions, again by 7 to 6.

Injuries have caused backficld revisions in both the Rider and Scarlet camps, with Fullback Hank Terrell of East and Halfback Scott Miler of Roosevelt riding their respective benches. Roth rank among the city's best backs. Coach Mike Augustine plans to use Sophomore Ralph Rook to replace Terrell, who sprained his ankle against Lincoln. Then, ta make the revision complete, handyman Bill Trites was installed at the right halfback position opposite Del Cockayne. Previously, Trites has appeared at guard, tackle and end.

At Roosevelt, Coach Archie) Johnson is still doubtful about his left half starter. It rests between Roosevelt Continued on Pane Two.

Royal Lorhy, Ron nie Norman and Howard Tippee. By Staff Representative. IOWA CITY, IA. If you never see the name of Chuck Uknes in the starting lineup of an Iowa football game, it will be all right with the honey haired Hawk-eye. Call it tension, or the good old kickoff jitters, or what have you.

Chuck will start his games with a couple of minutes observation from the bench, if Coach Eddie Anderson doesn't mind. Just a glimpse of the value of hard running and hard hitting is the tonic he wants. Chuck saw 19 last week and at that ripe old age he has established himself with the solid performers of Iowa football. He has a single-track outlook of competition. If the game's worth playing- it's worth winning.

He's a competitor from the inside out. He figures you're never licked, if you can still stand up. "It sort of builds me up to watch for a few minutes," explains I'knes. "If I know I'm Koing to start a game I can't think of anything else. My legs feel weak and my stomach feels it little upset.

Those shifts in the forward wall were accompanied by the return of Jack MacKenzie. sophomore halfback who ran and passed well in Wednesday's scrimmage, to the varsity backficld. Right now the Bulldog line has apparently settled back into somewhat its former status, with the exceptions of End Lyle Nay-lor, who was replaced by Boot en after suffering a charley-horse, and Guard Dan Kroloff.

Terry Anderson, a chunky sophomore, has apparently won the starting call at one guard opposite Veteran John Morris. Earlier this week, Morris was playing cnd.

IA. Fired by word of their ranking over Drake by bookmakers in Des Moines Thursday, Iowa State Teachers roared through a brisk workout here, brimming with confidence. Clipped by the Missouri Valley eleven a year ago, the Tutors are gunning for this contest, featuring the Pedagogs' homecoming cele bration. Sharpening their pass offense on Eknch cident in basketball is worth mentioning. East High of Sioux City had a 13-year jinx on Central.

The fans began to wonder If Central ever would beat Les Davis team. Expectations naturally were that Norm Slathers, the East High ace, would shine against Central just as he had against other opponents. The records will show that Mathers drew a blank that night, when Uknes lined up against him, and Chuck, who never had been much of a ball of fire in scoring, made 10 points. His competitive spark was in evidence, even then. Right now Chuck Uknes has his eye on Wisconsin, the nation's No.

"I was reading a Chicago paper which said Wisconsin was facing a weak foe in Iowa and it made me tired. "They're not supermen.

Fullback Pat Harder of Wisconsin will be trying "to overtake Ohio State's Gene Fekete for the Western conference rushing leadership Saturday when the Badgers tangle with Iowa.

Fekete is the current leader with a rushing average of 110 yards in four games, according to official Big 10 statistics. Harder has accumulated an average of 98 in two encounters. Elroy Hirsch, the Badgers' sopho more halfback, is in third place with an average of 84 yards, while Paul Sarringhaus, Buckeye half' back, is fourth with 77.7 yards. Hirsch also has the best average gain per play. He has carried the ball 25 times for 6.7 yards each at-! tempt.

But she's in front of the radio on Saturdays, now that her youngest son is frequently mentioned on the air waves. I'knes has always been a sports fan with football his particular dish. He reads the sports pages from cover to cover and numbers among his earliest heroes Jay Bervvanger, the big Iowan who kept Chicago in the football limelight. In those days Chuck Uknes was out in Anderson park in Sioux City, with the neighborhood kids playing football. One guy would lug the ball and all the others would try to tackle him.

Then he went to Central High in Sioux City. As a sophomore of 150 pounds he filled in at end. As a junior he was up, to 175 and the quarterback job was his. As a senior his 185 pounds landed him in the fullback slot. Chuck recalls the toughest game he ever played as a prep.
