Rapids 130 46 89 Rhinelandor 040 12 143 The Rhinelander Hodags. hoping to post their first victory of the 1953 football season, travel to Marshfield Friday night in an attempt to get out of undisputed last place. Game time is scheduled for 8 o'clock. All the other Wisconsin Valley Conference teams play Friday night games. The bill sends Wausau to Stevens Point, Antigo to Wisconsin Rapids and Merrill to La Crosse Logan in a non-league encounter.

The Hodags will have their best possibly only chance to break up a winless season Friday. They now have a record of six straight defeats, two in non-conference play and four in Valley action. If they fail to win Friday it is likely that they will end the season with a 0-6 record. The Ho- dags' last game is against a mighty tough Antigo team. Marshfield's record is not impressive, but the Tigers have posted one win.

They defeated Wisconsin Rapids, 24-14. Before and after that, the Tigers were on the short end of the score in both conference and non-conference play. offense has proven superior to that of the Hodags. The Tigers have scored 50 points, including 12 against Wausau. Defensively they have allowed their opponents 107 points.

has scored two touchdowns in league play. Both were against Wisconsin Rapids, and both were on pass plays. They came close to driving one over against Merrill last Saturday, but were stopped on the three yard line. Defensively, the Hodags are the weakest in the league, opposing teams having scored 143 points. The biggest scores were racked up by Wausau, Point and Merrill.

The Lumberjacks scored 47 against the local club while Point tallied 39 and Merrill 31. Marshfield Favored. will be highly favored Friday the two teams meet. The Tigers have a bigger squad with much more experience. They have looked sharp in some of their games, and although their record indicates a weak squad, they have given all comers a good fight.

Marshfield's offensive attack will be based on the passing and field generalship of Tom Southworth and the running of Merlin Fink and Jim Oleson. Any one of the three is dangerous and will have OCTOBER 18-24 SPECIAL LOW RATE YOUTH BAGS BIG 16-year-old in the Arbor Vitae- Woodruff High School.

Southworth is the big gun of the Marshfield team.

The lanky quarterback can run, pass and kick. He uses good judgment calling plays and spots; weaknesses unerringly. His favorite call is a screen pass which has worked well all season. Rhinelander will be depending upon the running, passing and play calling of Eldon Scharp. Scharp gave a good-accounting of himself against Merrill last Saturday.

He was one of the leading ground gainers, always driving for that extra yard. The diminutive Sophomore is the best broken field runner on the squad and is an accurate passer. He needs more experience in the calling of plays, but is improving with each game. Others Coach Ed Olsen will be banking his offensive hopes on are backs Don Foti, Wally Dahlquist and Harvey Marten. Linemen who will shoulder much of the load are Bob Johnson, Bob Winat, Bernie Pepper and Don Reed.

Although most of the responsibility will fall on these boys, every man on both the offensive and defensive teams will have to play his best brand of football. The Hodags will have to be keyed to a high pitch to overcome their lack of size and experience. Rhinelander will go into the game at nearly full strength. Harlan Kramer is the only regular who is not expected to see action. The rugged guard re-injured his knee in the Merrill game and will most likely be sidelined for a week or two.

Coach Olsen's defensive lineup will be largely the same as in previous games. He named Pete Harvey and Jim Scholz at the ends, Paul Massey and Gus Gudleske at tackles, Winat and Pepper at guards, Johnson and Foti backing the line, Jack Pelletier and Marten as secondary halfbacks and Scharp at safety.

Julius Ktsstef JMstiUing Uwrencebuig, Ind. Young Archer Bags Big Bear On Two Shots News Richard Stavenow left home recently in late afternoon with his bow and arrows, little did he realize that he would be returning with two arrows missing and a black bear. Young Stavenow, a junior at Arbor Vitae-Woodruff High School, wanted to try his luck at deer hunting with bow and arrow. While moving through the forest and nearing a swampy area in the town of Arbor Vitae, he spok ted a black bear. Dick stared at it for a moment and thought how dangerous a wounded bear might be and how, instead of the bear being carried out of the woods, it would be Richard.

But in another second, at 25 yards distance, he shot a 28-inch arrow into the bear between the ribs just an inch behind the heart. As the bear was hit he spun around several times and then away from the hunter. Soon another arrow was placed in the bear's spine, which held to. finish the animal. Richard then headed for home to inform his parents about the incident.

His mother was stunned when Richard told the story. He and his father left to drag home the 300-pound male bear.

Tradition-Laden Matches Saturday NEW YORK UB-The fate of a couple of national powers rides with two tradition-laden rivalries Saturday when all-victorious Michigan meets Minnesota and unbeaten Southern California plays the University California.

Charlie Grimm Is National League Manager of Year NEW YORK Milwaukee's Charlie Grimm, who boosted the Braves from seventh to a surpris ing second-place finish in one year was voted today National League Manager of the year. Grimm, who was runner-lip to Casey Stengel for major league managerial honors, had no trouble outscoring Charlie Dressen, Brooklyn's deposed manager, for the National League's top spot. The 55-year-old Grimm drew 110 of the 179 votes cast by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America- in the annual Associated Press poll.

Dressen was second with 66 votes. Eddie Stanky of St. Louis and Rogers Hornsby of Cincinnati, the only other managers to receive recognition, divided the remaining votes. Stanky got two and Hornsby one. Stengel, the 1953 Manager of the Year, naturally was selected as top man in the American.

He received 143 votes to easily outdistance his Lou Boudreau of Boston was second with 19, seven more votes than Paul Richards of Chicago received. Al Lopez of Cleveland and Bucky Harris of Washington got two. votes and Fred Hutchinson of Detroit one. Grimm, who succeeded Tommy Holmes as Braves' manager in midseason of 1952, is no novice by any means. He served two separate terms as pilot of the Chicago Cubs, putting in a total of 10 full seasons and parts of three others in the Windy City.

He led the Cubs to pennants in 1932, 1935 and 1945. The jovial Dutchman, however, probably is as proud of his feat in leading the lightly regarded Braves into the runner-up position to the champion Dodgers as he was in each "of his three Hags. In preseason polls, few experts dared predict a better than fifth-place finish for the transplanted Boston club. As a reward for hi outstanding work, Grimm was given a three- year contract to lead the Braves through 1956. Stengel Named Manager of Year GLENDALE, Calif.

UP) Casey Stengel is duly grateful, for the fourth time in five years, to be named baseball's Manager of the Year. He made this point as clear as Mr: Stengel can make anything clear when advised at his -home that he had won the 1953 award, hands down. The New York Yankee skipper received 107 of the 179 votes cast by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America in the annual Associated Press poll. The vote was quite a tribute to the 64-year-old master, the only man ever to manage a team to five straight world championships. Never a man without a word, Casey none the less had to scratch a bit for new ones to express his pleasure.

After all, he won this same distinction in 1949, 1950 and 1952. As Stengel put it, this award was purely a case of the Yankee team, the front office and the coaches all combining in an astonishing movement "to build me up and win for me this great honor." Milwaukee's hero, Ch a 1 i Grimm, was second, with 30 votes, six more than Casey's beaten rival in the World Series, Chuck Dressen, then of Brooklyn, now of Oakland, Calif. Illini Head for New Ground Marks CHICAGO sophomore J.C. Caroline setting the individual record pace, Illinois is well on its way to new Big Ten team ground gaining marks. In two league games, Caroline has netted 397 8.8 per an average of 198.5 per game.

With this impetus, the Illini have zipped to the top in team attack with an average of 421 yards, 368 of them on the ground. This total offense exceeds the record average of 415 set by Wisconsin in 1952. Illinois also is well ahead of the record rushing mark of 320 yards per game set by Michigan in 1943. Wisconsin, although playing only one Big Ten game thus far, ranks second to Illinois in total offense with 351 yards against Purdue, 313 of them by rushing. Billy Bratt, an end turned halfback, 113 yards in four play average of 28.2—for the Badgers in the Purdue engagement.

Michigan State tops the defense department, holding opponents to an average- gain per game of 174 yards and only 2.85 per play. The unbeaten Spartans also rank third in offense after three league games, with a balance of 195 rushing and 148 passing. Illinois is second on defense, a rating based mainly on ball control. The lllini hav-e had 64.5 plays per game to 56 for their opponents. They have held foes to an average total gain of 233.

Fewer passes are being thrown this season. Only Indiana, Michigan and Northwestern have gained more yards through the air than on the ground. OCTOBER 22. 1953 Spring Training 22 for Braves MILWAUKEE Spring training for. the Milwaukee Braves wil start at their Bradenton, Fla.

Olson Whips Turpin for Crown British Negro Takes Punishment During 15 Rounds NEW YORK Olson may not be the greatest middleweight boxing champion the world has seen, but the tattooed man from Hawaii will do until a better one come along. He did a competent job on Randy Trupin of England in 15 rounds at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night before a capacity crowd of 18,869.

He did not score a knockout, but only because the man from Leamington Spa had a tremendous lot of heart when he was being badly punished in the closing rounds. Turpin made a fight of it for a national television audience. He made no. complaint against, the decision. He said only between battered lips that he believed he could have done better if he had been free mentally, or words to that effect.

Exactly what he meant was not explained. Turpin is separated from his wife and has been named a co-respondent in a divorce suit. Olson's job on Turpin was smooth, decisive and unanimous. The balding, hairy-chested Bobo cut the husky British Negro under the left eye in the fourth round, dropped him for five in the ninth, decked him again for nine in the tenth and had him bleeding from the nose and mouth. The fighting son of a Swedish- American father and a Portuguese-Hawaiian mother appeared to be headed for the deck in the first three rounds.

Turpin bombed him with all he had in the first three, raking him to the head and body. Then, a New Fight. But from the fourth on it was a new fight. Bobo kept wading in oh his tiring rival, cuffing him to the body' and setting ia relentless pace. The slope-shouldered, shuffling Californian kept maneuvering Randy to the ropes and banging him with both hands.

All the strong, awkward Britisher would do was roll his head around. There wa no doubt as to what the decision was going to be. Judge Charley Shorten had it 114 for Olson, referee Al Berl, 9-4-2 and Judge Arthur Susskind, The AP scorecard tabbed it 10-4-1. Asked why stayed on the ropes, Turpin li "Search rne." "I felt as strong as ever at the finish," said Turpin who-scored one of boxing's mightiest upsets when he whipped retired champion Sugar Ray Robinson in '51. "I was just missing.

He didn't hurt even when he knocked me down." "It came off like we planned," said Bobo who wept unashamedly after the unanimous decision wag announced. "I -was to give Turpin the first three or four rounds and then finish fast. I just took my time and let him wear himself out. I' felt I got stronger as I went (along and wasn't tired at the end. "The hardest blow he hit me was a left hook in the middle of my face in the fourth round," said Olson who was bruised under the right eye and bled from the nose.

He was also wobbled by a smashing right to the chin in the eighth, too. Turpin, who weighed a surprisingly low 157 to Olson's 159y 2 re.ceived a purse of $55,624 and Olson the same. Marquette Will Be Full Strength MILWAUKEE Lumber, sophomore center from Ingleside, 111., has earned a chance for more action Saturday with his improved performance in practice this week, Marquette grid coaoh Lisle Blackburn said Wednesday. Blackbourn said Lumber had looked especially good at lineback- ing and will alternate with Eddie Jarosz and Dean Mielke, the Hill- toppers' top centers, in the clash with College of the Pacific here. Jarosz probably will not play as much because of a leg injury received 'in the Arizona game.

Wednesday's workout was devoted to offense, stressing outside plays in a contact session, against the reserves. The team is expected to be at full strength for the homecoming game. Elm Grove Horse Wins Harness Race KANSAS CITY W) Mr. Montgomery, owned by Mrs. E.
