JANESVILLE, WIS. 3ANESVILLE DAILY OCTOBER 1. 1953. PACS: ELEVEN. Red Devils Score Early in 19-14 Win DELAVAN The Delavan Red Devils rolled up a 19-0 first half lead, then staved off a vicious Rockford Golden Eagle attacic in the second half to emerge with a 19-4 non-league victory before a surprisingly large crowd here Wednesday night.

The Red Devils will play another non- league foe, the Elmhurst Travelers, here at 2 p.m. Sunday. It appeared as if the Red Devils would annihilate the Golden Eagles. Within three minutes sifter the opening whistle Delavan had two touchdowns and was on the Rockford three-yard line, poised for a third tally. However, the Golden Eagles held and eventually worked the ball out of danger.

In the second quarter the Red Devils tEiUied again to hold a comfortable, 19-0 halftime lead. After a scoreless third quarter, the Rockford team exploded for two quick touchdowns and the clock ran out as they launched a final drive. Knieger Intercepts Pass On the second play of the game, Gil Krueger, Red DevU defensive back, intercepted a pass and returned 18 yards to the Rockford 24. Sylvester Polk ripped pit a gain Edgerton Hopes to Spoil Homecoming at Fort Polk EDGERTON- With an eye toward spoiling Fort Atkinson's Homecoming celebration Friday night. Coach Carl Sunby's Edgerton High School gridders have been practicing 'diligently this week in sessions at Central Park and Legion Speedway Park.

Fort and Edgerton, rivals of long standing, meet in a Badger Conference game as a feature of the Fort Homecoming celebration at 7:45 p.m. Friday. Two members of the Edgerton squad was injured this week. Keith Rost, used as a tackle and guard on offense and an end on defense, broke a finger in practice Monday evening. With the finger in a cast it is doubtful he will see action Friday.

After Krueger lost 10, Polk skirted end for 16 to the 4, from where Bill Butz went over for the score. Felker's conversion attempt was blocked. Rockford fumbled the Kckoff and George Notter recovered for the Red Devils on the Rockford 27.

Polk netted 15 on a pitchout and Krueger then fired a 12-yard sooring pass to end Pete Grabbert. Felker kicked the point to make if 13-0. Rockford again fumbled on the first play after receiving the kickoff, Delavan taking over on the Eagles' 21. After Delavan drove to the four, the Eagles dug in and took over on downs. Polk on End Run Midway through the second riod, Don Seuser returned a Rock- punt yards to the Rockford 47.

Polk carried 15 yards to the 32. After a Rockford offside penalty and two line bucks advanced to the 22, Polk went wide around end and scored standing up. Felker's kick again was no good to make the halftime score: Red Devils 19, Rockford 0. Red Devil Coach Ralph Davis used reserves during the entire seccmd half, and discovered a fast stepping halfback in John Payne, ex-Beloit School performer. Payne had been used only sparingly, this year.

In 7 carries Wednesday he netted 77 yards, including runs of 39, 14 and 15 yards. Rockford scored early in Wie final canto on two successive passes by Bagdonas. A 13-yard pitch probably will not suit up for Friday's action. Having scored three touchdowns, their first of the season, in the 19-19 tie at Lake MiUs last Friday, the Edgerton squad has been "fired up" in practice sessions this weelc. The probable starting offensive lineup will have: Milton Stearns and Roger Steindl, ends; Duane Carlson and Lester Johnson, tackles; Bob Edwardson and Jack Prater, guards; Earl Zischke, center; Tom Scharfenberg, quarterback; Marty Deignan and Wally Steindl, halfbacks; and Stan Miller, fullback.

On defense. Miller and Karl Schultz will be at the ends, Keith Kenseth and Edwardson at tackles, Dave Rost as the center, Carlson, Jerry McCaffery and Ronnie Kruckenberg as linebackers, Ron Thronson and Scharfenberg at the halfback posts, and Deignan at safety.

Rockford followers accompanied the Eagles.

Tlie JDelavan high school band contributed much to the game sphrit. One of the highlights of the game was the field running of Frank Morris, Rockford halfback.

Clark and Tomlin Lead Evansville As a reward for their fine play in the 19-19 tie with Jefferson last week, Larry Clark, 127-pound senior halfback and Norman Tomlin, senior quarterback, have been selected by Coach Dave Demichei as co-captains of the Evansville Blues for their Badger Conference setto with Stoughton here Friday night. Clark averages 13:8 yards on carries against Jefferson and made a touchdown on a scamper of 77 yards. Tomlin played his usual fine defensive game, making a good share of the tackles, intercepting two passes and recovering one fumble. Evansville's starting lineup has played excellent ball all season.

Coach Demichei has little reserve strength. Stoughton is expected to b3 fired up for the clash with the Blues. The Vikings lost last week to Middleton, 13-7, and it was their first loss in Badger Confierehce history. Stoughton won the a pionship in 1952, the first year of the circuit, with an unbeaten record. The closest the 1952 Vikings came to a loss was a tie in the meeting with Jefferson.

Three EvansvUIe regulars were kept from contact work this week because of Ron Brigham, Tomlin and Clark. They should be ready to go against Stoughton.

OH, Horicon Hunting Plan Challenged MADISON tm Mr. Average Hunter's eagerly awaited chance to experience the fabulous goose hunting in the Horicon refuge will lie at stake today in Circuit Court here.

and Mrs. Wallace range, operators of a game farm at' Babcock. Their taxpayers' suit seeks a temporary injunction restraining the state Conservation Conunission from going ahead with the season. Arguments will begin at 2 p.m. today before Circuit Judge Herman Sachtjen.

Roy Tulane, assistant state attorney general, will appear for the commission and Attys. Walter Bender and Kneeland G6d- frey, Milwaukee, will represent the Granges. The suit charges the commission Shiit Is From Spectator to Participation Sports BLOCKING ASSIGNMENTS STUDIED AT JEFFERSON JEFFERSON Jefferson High School football team has much time this week to a fan assignments against seven and NEW YORK tm The World Series bearing some scars of the nation 's leading business this week. But the spectacular sell-out clash just hides for the moment the postwar shift from spectator to participation sports in the United States. It points up, however, the steady increase in spending on all sports and recreation as Americans expand their houi-s of leisure.

Baseball fans feel the tail-lash of inflation as the price of box seats rises from $8 to $10, and reserve seats from $6 to S7. A subway series some of its econ- eight-man lines expected to be tossed up Friday by Lake Mills. The improved passing of Jerry End! has highlighted this weeks' work. Dick Davies and Gene Stauss have returned' to the squad after more than a week's absence. Both will have to battle for their positions because of the improved play of the younger players.

Bruce Buelow will get the starting call at fullback on the bases of his showing against Evansville. Other, starters most likely will be Jay Beyersdorf and Bob Monogue, or Yankee Stadium and last year paid 10 cents must this year put a 15-cent token to inflation in the turnstile. Attendanre Down Americans have spent nearly 50 million dollars this year to see professional baseball teams around the country. But total attendance has been falling steadily especially since television combined with a can of beer to keep fans at home in their slippers. The two major leagues had around 21 million paying guests in 1948, their peak year.

This year ends: Bob Seitz and Chuck miUioA trekked to tackles; Dieter Hagen and Dicki Haas, guards; Lon Mullen, center; Endl, quarterback; Paul Rleck and Richardson, halfbacks. Only Hagen and Haas are seniors. Wednesday's workout was devoted to pass defense and a discussion of Lake Mills' offense. Thursday the squad will review plays and game strategy. the parks.

To bring the series to homebodies by way of 105 TV stations and 920 radio stations will cost more than million dollars. Attendance has been dropping at most professional sports. Exception horse and harness racing. But here many spectators can be said fo "participate" at the pari- mutuel windows. Boats Enjoy Boom Fishing, hunting, skiing, bil- lards, bowling, golf, boating have been having a heydey, however.

Some 200,000 new boats of. all types hit the federal and inland waterways this year, the National Assn. of Engine Boat Manufacturers estimates. This brings the total to about five million craft, double the number in 1947. Around 17 million fishing licenses were taken out, a gain of 35 per cent over the million sold in 1947.

The Interior Department estimates nearly two million more hunting licenses were taken out last season than in 1947, for a gain of 15 per cent. The annual take for sporting goods of all sorts is around 800 million dollars now. had no authority to declare special open season, that the season is illegal. Grange declared in an affidavit that, if several hundred hunters are allowed to shoot daily in the refuge, "a substantial number of migratory fowls and upland birds will be killed." This loss would constitute irreparable dam-' age to all citizens, he stated. The season is planned as a joint state-federal experiment to give a representative section of the average hunter an opportunity at the great fleets of Canadian geese that gather in the Horicon refuge for their flight south.

The U.S. Fish Wildlife Service has opened a narrow strip around the northern end of the Horicon refuge in Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties to hunting and the state Conservation undertaken to supervise public hunting in the strip. About 300 hunters wuld be admitted to blinds in the area each day, with a bag limit of two geese. The season is scheduled to run 55 days but can be ended when 15 per cent of the geese are 'haiv vested." dropping Santa Barbara of the class California League. In making the announcement on Santa Barbara, the Dodgers stated that declining attendance with "no prospects in sight" was given as the reason for the withdrawal.

If Santa Barbara folds as a result, it may mean the end of Ventura in the same league. The hvo cities are the only two "south coast" cities in the league. The withdrawal of one city usually means another has to drop out for scheduling purposes.
