-THE SANDUSKY REGISTER-STAR-NEWS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1950 Streaks Whip Norwalk 13-0, Huron Tops Sailors At Pre view illard, Potters In Scoreless Tie BY GENE JORDAN Clicking on aerials when needed, Sandusky High passed its way to a 13-0 decision over Norwalk Truckers before 3,500 fans at the Jaycees' grid preview last night at Strobel field. A promising Huron team knocked off Vermilion 12-0 while Port Clinton and Willard bat- tied to a scoreless tie in the other 15 minute "game." Fullback Ted Schwanger jump-passed three yards to End Jim Holzmiller for the first Sandusky score while Quarterback Lavon Ward flipped a 22 yard pass to End Dean Miller for the second Streak touchdown. Schwanger booted the bonus point. Bill Craig, Huron's bruising 190 pound fullback, rumbled through the middle of Vermilion's line for both Tiger tallies. Port Clinton stalled Willard's only scoring threat on the eight yard line.

Sandusky High Coach Jeff De-? Haven wasn't too enthusiastic about his squad's showing and pointed out lack of timing as the main deficiency. DeHaven had halters.on his team, vetoing any hocus-pocus plays because of scouts in the stands. Norwalk Loses On Ground The game, but outweighed Nor walk team, didn't furnish much opposition for the Streaks. San dusky gained 95 yards rushing and lost two for a net of 93. Norwalk gained 28 and lost 31 for a minus three net.

The Streaks had five first downs, all gained rushing while Norwalk had two rushing and two passing for a total of four. Sandusky attempted five passes and completed for touchdowns. Norwalk tried four, com pleted three and had one intercepted. Sandusky gained 25 yards through the air to 53 for Norwalk. DeHaven Uses Full Squad DeHaven used all 32 players he had dressed.

Bill Heiberger, veteran guard, is on the injured list with a bad knee received in a Thursday kick-off drill. It is un certain when he will return to the squad. Sandusky got in a hole on the first kickoff when Halfbacks Jude Theibert and Darrell Hurlburt missed their cues and let Norwalk cover the ball on Sandusky's 17 yard marker. But Sandusky's defense platbon made up for the error. In four plays, Norwalk lost 23 yards and Sandusky look over on its own 40.

Drive 60 Yards For TD Schwanger, Theibert and Ward alternated on a 57 yard drive which saw the ball on the three with fourth down. Holzmiller drifted behind Norwalk's linebacker and Schwanger jump-passed the ball for the TD. Duard McNult's kick was short on the ex- 1 try. The score came with six minutes elapsed. Two plays later Chuck Acierto recovered a Norwalk fumble on the Truckers' 29.

Ward and Schwanger advanced the ball to the 22 where Ward passed to Dean Miller for the score. The ball was intended for Hurlburt and just grazed his fingertips before falling into Miller's hands. Neither side made any serious threats until Norwalk's Jim Seitz tossed to Kenny Jameson on San dusky's four yard line on a play which covered 34 yards but the gun ended the Truckers' hopes for a TD. One of the high spots for San dusky was Acierto's booming kickoff, after the second touchdown, which went out of ihe end zone. Craig Returns Kickoff 63 Yards Huron's Craig wasted no time in arousing the crowd at the pre WRESTLING WEDNESDAY.

glub view. He took the opening kick off 63 yards, behind some beauti ful blocking, to Vermilion's 21. Don Ritzenthaler broke away for 12 yards to Vermilion's four but a fumble set the Tigers back and an attempted fourth-down pass failed. Vermilion's Sailors ran one play and fumbled with Huron recovering on the 10 yard line. The Ti gers moved the ball to the one yard line where Craig boltod through the middle.

The pass attempt for point failed. Sailors Fumble Again After the next kickoff, Vermil ion ran three plays and fumbled again with Bill Lyons recovering for Huron on the Sailors' 26 yard line. Joe Majoy broke away for 20 yards on a buck lateral to bring the ball to the six. Dom Majoy carried to the five where Craig bulled his way over on two plunges. Kish Goes 47 Yards Little Gerry Kish supplied the only Vermilion excitement by taking the next kickoff on the goal line and returning it 47 yards.

He was hurt on the play and Vermilion could penetrate no further. Huron had a net gain of 59 yards and Vermilion had 23. The Tigers had three first downs to one for the Sailors. Both Willard and Port Clinton appeared slightly ragged, particularly on offense. Willard Makes Lone Threat The only serious threat by either team came near the end of the fray when Willard recovered a fumble and drove 49 yards to the four before getting pushed back to the eight and losing the ball on downs.

Willard Quarterback Dave Draime highlighted the drive with runs of 14 and 13 yards on bootleg end sweeps. However with the ball on the four, Port Clin ton's John Rosiar, strong-side line backer, solved the bootleg and nailed Draime back on the eight. Statistics showed that Willard gained a net of 59 rushing to 44 yards for Port Clinton. The Willard Flashes picked up 14 yards by completing two of three passes attempted. Each team made three first downs.

Port Clinton fumbled twice with Willard recovering Money To Band Fund In a mid-show ceremony, John Mack, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce which sponsored the preview, announced that the Jaycees' share of the proceeds would given to a fund to provide the Sandusky High band with new uniforms. Band Director Byron Aldrich thanked the crowd and the Jaycees. Robert Thomson of the Jaycees, introduced Arline and Darline Landin, the twin Erie-co Fall festival queens. Mack said tllis morning, "The good attendance at the preview last night was indicative of fine organizational work of Parker, general chairman of preview." Indians Kill Hopes, Lose 2 To St. Louis CLEVELAND, Sept.

9 Rooters of the Cleveland Indians considered a pennant today just an ordinary piece of cloth flying from somebody else's flagpole. Unemotional mamematicians, of course, will argue. The Indians still have a chance. But these same experts figured they will have to win all but one or two of their remaining 18 The St. Louis Browns, one game out of the American League cellar, won both games, 5 to 4 and 6 to 0.

In the first game, the Indians scored four runs in the first in ning. Then they piled up a series of 17 goose eggs. Sherman Lollar of the Browns led off with a double in the fourth and scored on a long fly and an infield grounder. In the seventh, St. Louis got two more.

Lollar tied up the game with a homer in the eighth and the Browns won in the next frame on a single by Ken Wood. Wood and Ray Coleman each got homers in the sixth of the second game. Bob Lemon blew up completely in the seventh, allowing a double, two singles, then throwing wild at the plate to catch Pitcher Don Johnson and letting him score. Dick Weik relieved and wild- pitched Tommy Upton home and the Browns had three more runs. Tonight, Ned Garver of St.

Louis will oppose Sieve Gromek on the mound in the third game of the series. Bob Feller and Stubby Overmire probably will wind it up tomorrow, FIRST GAME ST. LOUIS AB. R. H.

was cautiously optimistic this morning after reviewing the Panthers' performance against St. Joe. "They've showed lots of improvement since last week's scrimmage with Sandusky High," was the way Zierolf phrased it. St. Joe, with a line averaging about 190 pounds, and picked by several to run away with the SBC race, could get no further than St.

Mary's 20 yard line. At the time, Zierolf had freshmen and sophomores in the game but when the Crimson Streaks reached the 20, he rushed his upperclassmen back in and the Fremont attack fizzled. St. Mary's reached St. Joe's 25 yard line one time but on fourth down a bad pass from center ruined the Panthers' bid.

Fumbles hurt St. Mary's at other times when it appeared the Panthers were going places. For the most part, St. Mary's forwards outcharged the bulky St. Joe line.

Bob Kreidler was a standout on defense for St. Mary's, making many tackles from his linebacker spot. He also got away two good punts, one of which carried 70 yards. Wayne Couts at tackle and Bill Koelsch at end, were also great on defense. Tommy Roth, at quarterback, handled the team well.

Sonny Herzog, 160 pound freshman, Clarence Samstag and Derwin Faulkner, looked promising in the ball- toting department. George Kerber, 215 pound fullback, showed signs of improvement but didn't come up to expectations.

the Bill the Move Seats Back For Grapple Show Front row ringside seats will be moved back five feet the battle of the giants Wednesday night at the VFW sports arena, the promoters announced today. Reasoning that none of the customers want a lap full of either Bloody Demon or Volga Boatman, the promoters figured it would be wise to protect the fans by moving the ringside seats back. Demon and Boatman are two of the biggest grapplers in the busi ness and both are ruffians of the first order. Thus, it is possible that the ring won't be large enough to hold both of them.

The youthful pennant seekers have had quite a scare the past few days, but thanks to a couple of old hands, Russ Meyer and Ed Waitkus, the Phils once again enjoy a commanding game lead in the National League race. Meyer and Waitkus teamed up to end a five-game losing streak and give the Phils a 4-3 victory over the runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers last night in the finale of a four-game series. Brooklyn won the first three games. Meyer restricted the Dodgers to six hits and led all the way. His worst moment came in the eighth inning when Duke Snider smacked a two-run homer to cut the Phils' lead to one run.

But Meyer bore down and retired the last font- batters in succession. The victory was Meyer's eighth compared to 11 losses and his third over Brooklyn. Waitkus. the 30-year-old first baseman, slammed out two singles and a double, drove in two runs and sparkled afield. Philadelphia entertained the third-place Boston Braves today with Pl'e.
