Bob Ray, Wisconsin full back, sprinted 12 yards around the defensive left end on the first play of the fourth period of the Bidders' opening football game this afternoon in Camp Randall stadium, Ey this scoring maneuver, Wisconsin salvaged a 7 to 0 victory when it seemed that by the brilliant defen five play of the Warriors' line the Cair.p Grant soldiers might gain a scoreless tie. Wisconsin threatened three times In the first half, but failed to score. In this time the Badgers had three r.asses intercepted. Moreover, the Warriors linemen had solved each attack. Then, almost without warning, C'T Grant presented the Badgers with a fourth scoring chance.

As sud denly as they acquired the ball on a fumble the Badgers scored on the next play. Hanzlik Recovers Fumble. On the next to last play of the third quarter Bob Baumann, Badger left tackle, kicked out of bounds on the Warriors 18 yard line. Camp Grant immediately attempted a fake quick kick with Stan Stasica, former South Carolina half back, trying to skirt the Badgers left flank. Stasica juggled tfce lateral pass and fumbled.

Bob KarIik, Wisconsin end. fell on the kail on Camp Grant's 12 yard stripe es the timer signaled the end of the quarter. The teams changed goals and Camp Grant went into a six man line with two tightly drawn up backers. Wisconsin caught these men out of by putting the ball in play without a back field shift. -n the play Ray was at the left end of the defensive line almost before the soldiers charged.

A well timed block on the defensive left half got him to the corner of the end zone and Ray lunged over the goal as he was by the safety. Ray followed up with a place kick for the extra almost scored again In the fourth period. That it didn't still cannot be explained. Quarter Back Ashley Anderson, who certainly should have scored, probably doesn't know the reason himself. Anderson intercepted a pass by Stasica on Wisconsin's 29 yard line and with a running start flashed down the east side line with red shirted blockers clearing a path deep into enemy territory.

Anderson Drops the Ball. At midSeld he had a clear route except for the safety man, who eventually was screened out of the play as Anderson was within 5 yards cf Camp Grant's goal line. Anderson had slowed up, however, to give a blocker a chance for this maneuver, and then for no apparent reason he came to a complete stop. As he pivoted to his own left, without being tackled, he dropped the balL Fred Negas. Wisconsin center, recovered on the Warriors" 6 yard line.

19. Thomas Farmer, the Cedar Rapids youth who was suspected of gridiron promise last season, today collaborated with associ ate Hawkeyes to give the University of Iowa eleven a 26 to 7 victory over the Washington Bears of St. Louis in the 1942 opener at Iowa stadium. Or maybe we should have said that Tom's chums collaborated with him, for he accounted personally for eight of the home point total by scoring one touchdown and two points by placement, and was a direct party to two other scores, pitching a brace of touchdown passes. Master Farmer thus becomes the chief hope of the Iowans for the remaining nine games of their heavy schedule.

It was no secret that Tom was quite some shakes as a passer in the closing games of last season and now there's little doubt that he will be on what is sometimes called the mound for the rest of the season. See Plenty of Tevis. In all, 30 Hawkeye hands enjoyed some exercise this afternoon, during which the winners maintained a scor ing tempo of one touchdown per quar ter. The laboratory nature of the game for new material was effected largely thru the lightness and inex perience of the Bears, who came to the game with only four workmen who had done intercollegiate duty before today. The victors were aware at all times, however, of the annoying presence of Half Back Lee Tevis and End Gene O'Rourke.

Tevis practically put on a one man show for his side, handling all of the punting and passing chores and carrying the ball 75 per cent of the time. It was his pass to O'Rourke, a 39 yard toss in the sixth minute of the last quarter that led to the Bears only touchdown. Yes, Tevis added the point after, too. Aside from Farmer, the Hawkeyes unveiled two talented sophomores in Tackle Bruno Niedziela of Chicago's Crane Tech, and Full Back Dick Hoerner, a Dubuque product who scored the first Iowa touchdown. That score, by the way, was set up by Guard Gene Curran, an alumnus of Chicago's St.

Ignatius High. Curran recovered a Washington fumble on the Bears' 31 yard line, and Hoerner took the ball over after an obstinate stand by the Bears forced the use of four downs from the 3 yard line. Iowa Wins Statistics. Iowa, of course, led in every sta tistical department except punt re turns, which the ubiquitous Tevis hauled back single handed for a total of 85 yards. Thirteen first downs were recorded against the Bears' eight, off a net of 190 yards by rush ing and 153 by passing.

The bulk of this latter yardage was contributed by Farmer's arm. Tom might have had a better pitching average for the day, having connected on six out of eight when he retired.

I ll.l.l II Grant's opening after Camp Grant the game, and Giants Defeat All-Star Army Eleven, 10 to7 Syracuse, N. Sept. 19 OP). The New York Giants, effectively bottling up high scoring John Kimbrough, walloped the Western Army All-Stars, 10 to 7, tonight In the soldiers' final game of their brief series for army emergency relief against National Football league clubs. The soldiers played five professional elevens, and tonight's defeat was their third.

They lost the opener to Washington in Los Angeles, 26 to beat the Chicago Cardinals in Denver; 16 to 10, and blanked the Detroit Lions In Detroit, 12-to 0.

They scored on Owen Goodnight's 93 yard run with an in tercepted pass in the fourth period. The Giants, coming back from their recent defeat at the hands of the East ern Army All-Stars, outclassed the soldiers by a margin larger than indicated by the score, which they amassed by Andy Marefos's first pe riod field goal and Leo Cantor's plunge for 12 yards in the third period. Kimbrough, former Texas A. and M. All-American, who led the army offensive in previous games, was stopped effectively by New York's charging forwards, and the army attack almost was nonexistent without Continued on page 4, column 7.

SI Johnson walked three men in succession in the 11th inning today to fore across a run and give the Brooklyn Dodgers a 5 to 4 victory over th Philadelphia Phiis. This cut the National league lead of the idle St. Louis Cardinals to two and a half games. The pay-off was a heartbreaking let down for the Phils, who had pressed the fight thruout the entire game and outhit the Dodgers, 14 to 7. The Phils loaded the bases In both the extra innings and batted Curt Davis out of the box in the 10th.

but couldn't quite break thru to score. Nahem Does Great Job. At the height of their 10th Inninz effort Sam Nahem. who had delivered a great relief performance by holding Brooklyn scoreless for seven successive innings, was removed for a rinca hitter. Johnson hurdled one wave of Dodg ers successfully, but in the 11th gave a base on balls to Peewee Reese.

leading off. He got two out, Billy Herman on a sacrifice that put Reese on second, and Pitcher Hugh Casey on a popup. But then Dixie Walker. Arky Vaughan, and Pete Reiser wait- ed out consecutive passes and the on to Reiser, forcing over the winning run, came on four straight pitches. A game opening double by Merrill May and a single by Ron Northey gave the Phils a run in the first.

In the second, with Danny Murtaugh on base. Catcher Thompson Livingston hoisted his second home run of th year Into the left field stands to provide a couple more. Northey singled. stole second and was driven home by Bill Burich to knot the score at 4 all in the fifth. It's Wyatt, Newsom Today.

There It remained. In the 10th th Phils rapped three consecutive singles off Davis but failed to score, a great peg by Reiser cutting off Nick Etten at the plate. They also filled the sacks In the 11th on May's third hit of th game, a fielder's choice and an Inten tional walk to Etten his fourth of the day but Casey forced Burich to bounce out to second. In all, the Phils left 14 runners stranded. Brooklyn counted In the first inning on a pass to Walker, an infield hit by Vaughan.

a sacrifice by Reiser and Joe Med wick's long fly. The thre Dodger runs in the second grew from successive singles by Mickey Owen and Reese, a pass to Herman, a double play ball by Davis, a pass to Vaughan and then Reiser's line hit, which sent across two. The victory was Brooklyn's 13th In 16 games with the Phils this season, and portended well for their remaining six contests with the tail-enders. Manager Leo Durocher announced would send his ace, Whit Wyatt, and Buck Newsom against the Phils in tomorrow's double header. College Football YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

His passing formed the only threat the Kansans could muster against the big Seahawks and his defensive work was superb.

Junius Penny, substitute sophomore center, was a bulwark in the Kansas de fense. IOWA PREFLIGHT OVER KANSAS IN Lawrence, Kas, Sept. 1 Special The Seahawks of the Iowa Naval prefiight school turned on the power in the second and final periods today to deal the University of Kansas its worst beating in 53 years of foot ball, 61 to 0. There was no doubt among the less than 3,000 fans who saw the contest that Lieut. Col.

Bernie Bierman has assembled a great football team at the Iowa City naval institution. The Seahawks were held to a field goal in the first period, scored three touchdowns in the second, rested with one touchdown in the third, and crossed the goal line five times in the last. Schatzer Is Star. Bill Schatzer, 187 pound substitute half back from North Central college, Napervillie, 111., was the Seahawks' star. He scored the first two touch downs, had a large share in the 422 yards gained by his team from scrim mage and was the most successful of the Seahawk passers.

The Jayhawkers held the Seahawks in check during the first period until near the end when George Svendsen, former Minnesota and Green Bay Packer center, scored on a placekick from the 9 yard line. Schatzer climaxed a 70 yard drive for a touchdown early in the second period with a 5 yard run and Fred Gage, formerly of Wisconsin, kicked the point. A few plays later, after interference had been called to make a Seahawk pass good on the Kansas 17, Schatzer went 17 yards to score and Forest Evashevskl of Michigan kicked the point. Then with two sec onds to go in the period, George Paskvan, formerly with Wisconsin and the GreenBay Packers, crashed over from the 1 to jnake it 23 to 0. Then the Parade Resumes.

Schatzer's passing was responsible for the third period score. He passed 18 yards to Evashevskl to the Kansas 25 and a few plays later found Evashevskl in the end zone for a counter. George Benson of Northwestern opened the fireworks in the last period by crashing over from the 4 yard line but failed to convert the WEATHER KEEPS APART; THEY'LL BY IRVING VAUGHAN. Billy Southworth's Cardinals, who have been tearing thru the National league field for the last month, were forced to pause yesterday In the mad dash that to all appearances has them headed for world series combat with the Yankees. The Cards, not at all ex cited but nevertheless anxious to have the whole thing settled in their favor as quickly as possible, were forced into a double header for this afternoon with the Cubs, who have sud denly become important despite their lowly position.

When the weather man refused to relent even tho given until starting time for the scheduled opener, the Cards tossed aside their baseball tools and scattered in search of radios. They wanted to know how things were going with the Brooklyn Bums, the team they recently blasted out of first place. It was a matter of curi osity as to whether their three game lead would expand by a half lap or contract by a half lap. They didn't seem worried when the Dodgers won, cutting their lead to two and a half games. Warneke, Passeau to Pitch.

Yesterday's postponement failed to change the pitchinr plans of either manager, except that the four mound- men involved will work the same afternoon instead of over a two days' stretch. Unless there's a last minute alteration at 1 o'clock this afternoon, the starting time having been moved up as a hedge against possible darkness, the two games that mean so much to the leaders will be matters between Morton Cooper and Lon War neke, a Card alumnus, and Claude Passeau and Max Lanier, a lefty. By leading with Cooper, the St, Louis boss isn't doing the Cubs a fa vor. They have beaten him twice, once on opening day when the entire Cardinal outfit looked shaky, and again July 4 when they broke his eight game winning streak. He has trimmed them once.

So you might say that the percentage is in favor of the fellow who, despite what success the Cubs have enjoyed against him. Is one of the few big leaguers with a 20 game victory total. He has lost only seven. And he sow is able to Continued on page column 7. I.
