The six, all athletes of three or more decades ago, were presented bronze portrait plaques which will now hang among 51 others in the Hall of Fame at the Arena. Enshrined were: August "Iron Mike" Michalske, called the "Guard of the Century" for his performance on the Green Bay Packers' 1929, 1930 and 1931 world championship teams. William A. (Billy) Sixty, a sports writer more than 50 years with the Milwaukee Journal and a former standout in bowling and golf. Charles "Chuck" Fenske, called the "Monarch of the Mile" while a star runner at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1930's and early 1940's.

Kenneth Keltner, star Cleveland Indians third baseman during the 1940's who appeared in eight All-Star games for the American League. John N. Sick, All-American halfback for Marquette University who later starred for the Chicago Bears. -Harold Foster, All-American UW basketball center of 1930 who later coached the Badgers to the 1941 NCAA championship. Among the celebrities attending and presenting awards were UW President John Weaver, UW Athletic Director Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau, and Green Bay Packers President Dominic Olejniczak.

The Wisconsin hall of Fame was founded in 1951. Michalske, the 10th Packer to enter the state Hall of Fame, looked at his bronze plaque during his enshrinement and said "I think that looks better than I do." Michalske paid tribute to the Packers in his acceptance speech, pointing out "win, lose or draw the Packers are a great organization." The former Packer lineman, also a member of pro football's Hall of Fame, was presented for induction by Olejniczak who said "Mike was among those early stars who formed the foundation for the future of the Packers." The Michalske plaque was unveiled by former teammates Buckets Goldenberg and Verne Lewellen. Other Packers in the Hall of Fame are Don Hutson, Clarke Hinkle, Cub Buck, Red Dunn, Johnny Blood, Curly Lambeau, Arnie Herber, Lawie Dilweg and Lewellen. nets, with a couple deadlocks in two games, host Sheboygan Ohio.

"The trade hasn't worked out that well thus far.

Jim has been very inconsistent." The first "pure" kicker In American Football League history to amass more than 500 points, he hit on only one of three field goal attempts in the Broncos' opening 10-10 tie with the Miami Dolphins last Sunday and both misses, ironically, were in his primary range from 20 to 30 yards. That performance was only the continuation of erratic artistry that plagued him throughout the pre-season. Coach Lou Saban, however, remains confident that Turner will find himself. Horn Now Holding "He has too good a record to pan him," Peck says. "For one thing, he's changed holders a couple of times and he's had trouble with snappers.

Now Don Horn has taken over as his holder and he's a good one. So everybody feels Jim should be getting back into the groove. "Turner, I might add, isn't the only kicker who has been having troubles. Garo Yepremian missed three out of four field goal attempts against us for Miami. "Part of it may be that teams are doing more defensively than they used to try to foul up field goals and with pretty good success.

Everybody's overloading and stunting. We like to think we had something to do with Yepremian's three misses." Turner, meanwhile, has been a frequent visitor to the projecting room, studying film of his kicking motion at length. He has discovered that he, like many a Sunday golfer, has been taking his eye off the ball. "He found out he was looking up a little bit," Peck says, "and not kicking his old style That should be easy enough to correct, so Jim is confident he'll get going now." Placekicker Jim Turner's biographical sketch in the Denver Broncos' 1971 press-radio-television guide begins, logically enough, on a positive note. After explaining that he had come to Denver in an even-up trade for kicker Bobby Howfield, it optimistically confided, "The Broncos feel Turner's consistency will more than offset the loss of Howfield's booming kickoffs and long distance field goals." The foregoing was written, needless to say, before Turner ever put foot to football in behalf of the Broncos, printing deadlines being what they are.

And, based on past performance, it was a highly reasonable assumption. Howfield, a British born soccer kicker, had diminished the value of his towering kickoffs and distance shots from the field with inconsistent success on medium to short range field goals much like the one Detroit's Erroll Mann missed in the closing seconds of the Lions' 16-13 loss to Minnesota last Monday night. Deserved Reputation Turner, on the other hand, had acquired a deserved reputation for consistency, rather than distance, although he came to Denver with two 50-yard field goals on his career dossier. And he had gained such eminence in the Jets' drive to the world cham- pionship two years ago that he had been persuaded to author a book on the art of placekicking. But things, Ironically, have not gone well for the former Utah State quarterback since becoming a Bronco.
