DAILY TRIBUNE Page Seven oof 17 field Pros Ooals A to Youve Only Got Two More Days to Laynes Passing Tops Pack, 24-17 ay; is owns, I in rJ Six Elevens End Unbeaten H. S. Season By the Associated Press Six more Wisconsin high school football teams Eau Claire, Regis, Menasha, Milwaukee a r-quette, Mukwonago, New Lisbon and Wisconsin Dells wound up the 1951 season over the weekend with perfect records. Only team to drop by the wayside was Bloomer, whose winning streak extending back through last year was snapped, 12-0, by Chippewa Falls. Stormy weather forced postponement of the Menomonie-Ells-worth tilt in which powerful Men-omonie hoped to run its victory string to 24 games.

Officials said the game would be played this week with the exact date dependent upon weather conditions. A Thomason got the Packers' consolation score on a pass to Jug Gir-ard from 24 yards out. The Detroit line held Green Bay to 42 yards rushing but Thomason and Tobin Rote made good on 28 of 44 passes for 278 yards. Layne threw only 15 times for the Lions and hit on seven of them three for scores. The Packers were left with a .500 record of 3-3 while the victory moved Detroit back into the National conference first division with a 3-2-1 slate.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON New York -CP)- The National Football league is doing a pretty Rood job of keeping the foot in football. Seventeen field goals, varying in length from 11 to 40 yards, were kicked in the I play-for-pay eir-cuit's six games yesterday as the Cleveland i Browns and Chi- cago Bears held to their respec 4- -r i- 4. ft-' tive leads in the American and National confer-s ences Doak Walker Ray Poole, New York Giants' end, and Bob Waterfield, Los Angeles quarterback, each kicked a trio of three pointers to come within one of Paddy Driscoll's league mark set in 1925. Driscoll's boots, however, were drop kicks.

He threw sparingly but hit for three touchdowns to give the Detroit Lions a 24-17 a i nal football league victory over the Green Bay Packers. Big Leon Hart took in two of Layne's scoring passes and Doak Walker a red the third. The Packers put on a stretch drive for the chilled fans Bobby Layne with two last period touchdowns, but Layne had two up his sleeve for the same quarter. The teams left the field at half-time all even at 3-3 after Walker's 13-yard field goal in the second quarter matched Fred Cone's 16-yard three-pointer booted in the opening period.

But alert Detroit defensive play paid off in the second half. Green Bay's Tony Canadeo tried to lateral on the Lions' 28 yard line but Detroit rookie Jack Christian grabbed the ball and skidded 52 yards down the sideline to Green Bay's 20. Three plays later Layne reached Hart going over the goal line. Walker made his first of three conversions. Recover Fumble As the third period ended Tony Momsen recovered Billy Grimes' fumble on the Packer 38.

The Lions cashed in on the break early in the fourth quarter as Hart out-jumped, two Packers to grab Layne's pass in the end zone. Green Bay closed the gap to seven points with a 69-yard march that registered when Fred Cone crashed over from the one. But Detroit took the kickoff and pushed to the Packers' 49. Then Layne threw to Walker who outran the- Green Bay secondary.

The Marquette victory string extends through 1950. Menasha crushed Kimberly, 41-0; Wisconsin Dells trounced Reeds-burg, 21-6; Eal Claire dumped Madison Edgewood, 32-20; A k-wonago downed East Troy, 20-7, and New Lisbon defeated Maus-ton, 14-6.

The final count gave Wisconsin Dells nine wins for the season, Regis 8, Menasha 8, New Lisbon 8, Mukwonago 7, and Milwaukee Marquette 7. Milwaukee West and Waukesha, which have final tilts this week, added another to their list of wins. West edged Milwaukee, Lincoln, 14-12, for the seventh consecutive victory, and Waukesha smothered West Milwaukee, 40-0, also making it seven straight. Teams which ended their seasons earlier with clean slates were Stevens Point, Arcadia, Kewaunee, Little Chute St. John and Spencer.

The 1924 Quantico Marine football team rolled up 183 points to 13 for its opponents. Vanderbilt scored all 13 of the points.

Browns Beat Cards Elanda and Geri had kicks of 40 yards each while Waterfield drove the ball between the uprights from the 39 and 33-yard stripes. The Browns, with Groza contributing 10 points through his two field goals and four conversions, six games with a 34-17 decision over the Chicago Cards. Otto Graham passed to Dante Lavelli for one tally and sneaked across for two himself. Blanda chipped in 'with, nine points as the Bears also won their fifth game in six outings and snapped the Redskins' two-game winning streak. Chuck Hunsinger Don Kindt and Julie Rykovich tallied touchdowns for the Bears.

Tunnel turned 77ri ears run after intercepting a Missouri pass He caught the ball, took one step into the end zone and took off for the other end zone.

A victory over second division Coe in their season finale next Saturday will give the unbeaten Vikings from Appleton the complete championship. Ripon remained in contention for a first place tie by whipping Carelton, 13-0; Knox beat Coe, 6-0, and Grinnell edged Cornell, 7-6, in the other Saturday games.

Lawrence punched out its touchdown the second time it got the ball. Bruce Bigford, Carl Shields and Carl Stumpf collaborated in toting the pigskin from the Vikes' 26 to Monmouth's 34. From there Bigford whipped a pass to Charles Cianciola who skittered through the Monmouth secondary and scored. After that the game was an exchange of punts on the snow swept gridiron at Monmouth, 111. The Viking defense didn't let the Scots penetrate deeper than the Lawrence 44 yard line.

Ripon pulled its victory out of a snowstorm, too. Tom Potter caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Glen Butters with nine seconds to go in the first half. In the fourth quarter fullback Bill Brennen plowed over from the two for the Redmen's second tally.

Ir4 THE LOW-PRICE 'J FIELD PATMOU Hall of Fame Now Has 31 Players and 21 Coaches BY RIP WATSON New York -UP)- Hanging out Monday's football wash, and you'd better hang it in the cellar if the weather is anything like Saturday's. The longest slide since the world series was recorded at Franklin field when Eddie Bell of Penn dived after Charlie Sumner as the William Mary speedster flashed to a touchdown on an 89-yard run Bell left his feet at the 10-yard line, landed in the goo and slid slowly across the goal in Sumner's wake. As might be expected, low scores abounded Scoreless ties included River Falls vs. Milwaukee and Olivet vs. Ferris Lehigh and Muhlenberg came up with one of those "pitchers' battle" scores Lehigh won, 3-2, on Walt Trillliaase's field goal Those three pointers also provided the victory margin for Ohio State (3-0) over Northwestern, Alabama (16-14 over Georgia) and Missi-sippi State (10-7 over Tulane).

Freshman Joe Horning of Maryland thrilled a homecoming day crowd by reeling off a 101-yard four victories, one defeat and a tie. With Waterfield turning in one of his best performances, the Rams moved into second place in the National conference, defeating San Francisco in 23-16 for their fourth triumph in six contests. Waterfield figured in all of his team's scoring as he tossed a 76-yard touchdown pass to Elroy Hirsch in the fourth period, scored once himself, added the three field goals and kicked two extra points. Bobby Watson, Eagles' brilliant rookie end, didn't come through with a field goal, as he usually does, but he scored once and added four extra points in Philadelphia's 34-13 triumph at Pittsburgh. braska; Benny Friedman, Michigan; Admiral John H.

-(IP)- The football hall of fame now has 32 players and 21 coaches in it. The first selections were made Saturday before the Rutgers-Ford-ham game here, the scene of the first collegiate football game 82 years ago. A 12-man honors court made the selections from a list of 300 players. Most of them chosen were great names of a- bygone era. Amos Alonzo Stagg, now coach- rtg at Susquehannah college, was liosen both as a player and coach.

Stagg's football career spans almost the entire history of the game. All players chosen for the first three teams of the Associated Press all-time all-America team were nominated for consideration. Nine of the first-team members got into the hall of fame and more will probably make it later. The 32 players chosen were: William M. Hollenbeck, Penn; Hector Cowan, Princeton; Col.
