In registering their first victory in the series since 1957, the unbeaten Mountaineers rac ed up their second straight triumph of the young 1964 season and handed the winless Red Devils their second shutout in as many outings. Ironwood was blanked 20-0 by Wakefield in its previous a i Iron Mountain downed Ishpeming 19-7 in opener. Pans had hardly settled in their seats before Iron Mountain chalked up its first touchdown on the fourth scrimmage a of the game and Mountaineers tallied their second TD midway in the second period and added their final marker in the third stanza. Jim Lindstrom and Char 1 Porta, a pair of speedy halfbacks, did the scoring for Mountaineers, with Porta tallying the first on a 43-yard sprint and Lindstrom the last two on runs of three and 70 yards.

The breaka a running of Lindstrom and Porta proved to be the big difference bet the teams. Mountaineer halfbacks came through with big-gainers while Ironwood didn't have anyone to match their speed and quickness. Ironwood made three long drives into Iron Mountain territory but could never muster the power to go all the way. Iron Mountain received the opening kickoff and returned the ball to its own 16. After two plays gained five yards, quarterback Bill Sauter passed to fullback Stee Reiten for a 36-yard gain to the 143 and then on the next play Porta sped straig up the middle for a touchdown' with only a minute and 17 seconds of playing time hav i elapsed.

Lindstrom was stopped short on a run for the extra point, leaving the score 6-0. Midway in the first quarter Ironwood made one of its best drives of the game, marching from its own 37 to the I Mountain-28, where the Devils were stopped a a short of a first down. Neither team threatened again until Iron Mountain took over on the Ironwood-39, following a Red Devil punt in the sec quarter. After Porta ga i three yards, Lindstrom br loose for 31 yards to the 1-5. Porta was tossed for a three- yard loss, but Lindstrom picked up five yards and then on the next play he went around i own right end for the i a three yards to hike the score to 12-0 with 7:42 remaining in the second period.

Lindstrom again was stopped on the run for the extra point. In the closing minutes of the quarter the Red Devils moved from their own 20 to their 47, but the advance was stopped by two incomplete passes. Midway in the third quarter Ironwood's Frank Verbos recovered an Iron Mountain fumble on the midfield stripe and the Red Devils moved down to the IM-30 bef the dr ground to a halt. On Iron Mountain's first play from that point, Lindstrom set sail on an electrifying 70-yard a that boosted Mountaineers' lead to 18-0 withj 3:13 to go in.the third period. Larry Brown attempted to kick the extra point, but his kick was no good, leaving the final count 18-0.

Ironwood came right back to make Its longest drive of the game, going from its own 28. to the IM-25 before the attack sputtered and died on a five-yard loss on a running play and two incomplete passes in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.

Si. Itonwootf M. Stanley, 4th On Tiger Roste By BERNIE KENNEDY Associated Press Sports Writer DETROIT (AP) If the Detroit Tigers are going to make any off-season trades, it seems apparent that they'll offer at least one of their center fielders to any clubs that will take enough time to listen. While most clubs are happy to have at least one player who can play the position with any success, the Tigers are blessed with four. The newest and youngest member of the centerfield quartet is rookie Mickey Stanley who made his major league de- i'r downs, including 12 by rushing and one on a pass.

Iron Mountain got seven on the ground and two through the air tor a total of nine. Iron Mountain connected on five of 10 passes while Ironwood hit on three of 11. Fullback Ed Tafelski a Verbos did practically all of the a carrying for I nwood, with Tafelski leading the way with 82 yards in 20 carries. Verbos gained 55 yards in 21 trips. Bob Miklesh and Paul Beimas were two of the defensive standouts for the Red Devils while Brown was outstanding on defense for the Mountaineers.

Ironwood will play its next games here and will start the homestand by taking on Superior East Friday night. Standings By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS American League W. L. Pet. G.B.

Center Fielder Makes Debut but Sunday as the Tigers dropped a 5-1 decision to Washington. Stanley, a native of Grand Rapids, played left field in place of Gates Brown and admitted he was a little nervous. "I'm a center fielder and never played left before," the 22-year-old Stanley said. "I asked Gates how he played the field and he told me. But I was still nervous for the first few innings." The Tigers have used up their options on Stanley and will have to keep him or try to make a deal for him.

Don Demeter, Billy Bruton and George Thomas are the three players who have played center for the Tigers this year. Bruton, who will be 35 this winter, is the oldest but a number of teams would like to have him around. Stanley beat out a topped hit his first time up in the second inning, forced Thomas in the second and filed to left in the seventh. "I've always said that he's the best young outfielder we have had in the minors since I started here," said Al Kaline. But Stanley concedes that if ho is to make it in the majors he'll have to brush up on his hitting.

He's taken steps to improve by moving closer to the plate and using a heavier ban. The Tigers scored their only run off Claude Osteen in the second inning on first baseman Demeter's double and a single 3y center fielder Thomas. The would-be rally ended when Thomas was doubled off second base after Chuck Hinton caught Dick McAuliffe's singing pop fly in left. Don Lock and Don Zimmer paced the Washington attack as Senators won their first jame over the Tigers in their ast ten Lock touched Detroit starter Phil Regan for a pair of solo homers, while Zimmer had four ills and drove in two runs.

New Substitutio Mean Big Ten 7 By Jerry Liska COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Coach Woody Hayes of Ohio State, dean of Big Ten coaches, is more than ready for this season's return to near-free substitution. It could mean the conference football title for the defensively-bristling Buckeyes. Hayes, starting his 14th Ohio State season, has platooned for the past several seasons even though substitution restrictions of recent years "took all the coaching strategy out of the game." Fullback Matt Snell, halfback Paul Warfield and place-kicking specialist Dick Van Raaphorst, plus rugged linemen Tom Jenkins and Ormonde Ricketts, are lost from the 1963 Bucks, who tied for second in the Big Ten. But Hayes has back an array of rugged performers who can grind it out in Hayes' crunching attack or form the sinews of what may be the Big Ten's best defensive platoon. Although the offensive platoon has only four holdover starters, Hayes has a typical Buckeye bulldozer in 21-pound junior Tom Barrlngton, who is cast in the dual role of quarterback- left halfback.

When veteran Don Unverferth, the Bucks' passing threat, presides as regular quarterback, Harrington will be at left halfback. When Barrington is at quarterback, senior Tyrone Bar net moves Into the halfback tandem with a starting sophomore, Robert (Bo) Rein. The 180-pound Kein, swift and Speed Boys Rip Hancock by 19-6 For 2nd Victory BESSEMER The Bessemer Speed Boys copped their sec ond straight victory over Cop per Country opponents by down ing the Hancock Bulldogs 19-6 in contest played at Massie Fielc here Saturday evening. The win over the aggressive Hancock "11" gives the Speed Boys a 2-0 record to carry into the conference tussle with Wakefield next Saturday. The loss is the second straight for the Bulldogs as they dropped a 14-13 squeaker to the I River Redskins at a Sept.

5. Saturday night a a Bessemer's thi straight win over the Bulldogs as they took a 32-0 win in 1962 and a 13-0 decision last year at Hancock. Some 1,500 fans were on hand on a brisk evening to watch an action-filled game that featured a considerable air as well as running game by both teams. There were few fumbles, but both teams were plag by penalties that were very costly at times. The game was a hard hitting affair for both teams, but Bessemer generated a rolling ground attack with key passes while Bulldog a quarterback Mike DeCesare failed to find receivers many of his long passes.

Although they traded the ball back and forth several i neither team was able to punch over the goal line in the first period of play, although a cock was the first one to seriously threaten, marching down Bessemer's three-yard line before being stopped by a series of penalties. Bessemer scored twice in the second quarter, howev with Jerry Corgiat punching over from the two-yard line and a 26-yard pass play from quarter- jack Jim Ippolite to end Bruce Richardson. The Speed s' other tally came early in the rambled around his left end to give Bessemer a 19-0 edge. The Bulldogs' lone tally came after a long drive that started on the Hancock 39-yard line with lalfback Ray Schoos finally capping the drive with a four- yard plunge. Both the speed Boys and the 3ulldogs played a wide orand of ball from the open- ng kickoff.

Long aerials and slashing ground gains told the for both teams. The Speed Boys, however had the advan- age on the ground and proved nore consistent in moving the ball with fullback Corgiat and lalfbacks Don Carpenedo and Job Re trading of for gains that kept the Speed Boy attack roll- ng. Passing was not slighted either by Bessemer as arm of quarterback Jim Ippolite proved to be r. threat to Bulldog defenses at more than one as he often hit end Bruce Richardson, one of his favori tragets. "Pass" Was the import a word, however, when it comes to describingtheHancock attack.

Quarterback Mike DeCesare hurled one long ball after anoth- Rule Could "itle for Ohio deceptive, is described by Hayes as "a real good one." But Barrington, with speed and power, obviously is the key Buckeye attacker, and with Willard Sander, Snell's understudy last year, gives Hayes the equivalent, of two fullbacks in simultaneous action. Hayes will have another placekicking specialist to succeed Van Raaphorst, last season's top point-maker for the modest scoring Buckeyes. As Ohio State averaged only 12 points--and scored only eight touchdowns-- In an overall 5-3-1 record, Van Raaphorst booted eight field goals and 10 conversions for 34 points. This Hayes has tapped guard Bob Funk, "a pretty good football player," to concentrate only on place-kicking. "We think he'll be a pretty good kicker," said Woody.

Ohio State's bellwether linemen will be 236-pound tackle Doug Van Horn on offense and linebacking center Dwight Kelley on defense, each a capable two-way player. "Our defense should be real tough," Hayes concedes of almost an all-letterman unit which includes 228-pound Gerry Kasunic and 232-pound Ed Orazen at tackles and defensive Captain Arnold Chonko in the secondary. Hayes a defending champion Illinois as the team to beat in the Big Ten race, but asserts Ohio State "will be In the first division." "But, he added, "I don't think anybody will run away with the title."

Neither team could sustain a successful drive in the fi jeriod. Hancock took the Speed 3oy kickoff and drove down to he B-44 before punting out of danger. The teams traded ball back and forth four times without a scoring success.

Early in the second peri after penalties stopped a Bulldog drive that had reached the B-3, the Speed Boys started to march from their own 20-yard ine with Corgiat and Re, running for the injured Mark Mar- cracking off gains through center to move the ball to the H-2 where Corgiat plunged over for Bessemer's first i points. Martini booted the extra joint to make it 7-0. Late in the second period the Bessemer "11" took the a again and moved with a series of passes from Ippolite.

Nick Jarvela put the Cardinals on the Scoreboard with a sweep around end from 20 yards out with 4:10 remaining in th opening stanza and Jerry Maki took a 28-yard aerial from quar terback Jim Smith-for an earlj second period touchdown to giv the Cardinals their margin victory. The Redbirds narrowly missei two other scoring opportunitie on pass plays from Smith tc Roger Koski, one aerial drib bling off the outstretched finger of Koski, who was in the clea on the Houghton 15 and an other completed pass to Koski who was beyond the Gremlin sec ondary on the H-32. However Koski's momentum caused him to stumble.

Fans witnessed somewhat of a paradox or reversal of form with Wakefield dominating firs half action and the i Gremlins coming back in the second half to take the play away from the Redbirds. The victory for Wakefield was its second of the campaign following its 20-0 triumph over Ironwood in its opener, while the loss for Houghton was its firs of the campaign, following an opening season 7-6 verdict over Crystal Falls. Wakefield heads into its an nual battle with the mer Speed Boys in an import a Michigan-Wisconsin Conferen contest here next Saturday af ternoon. The Cards and Speed Boys are both unbeaten to date Redbird defenses pretty wel stymied Houghton offen i play throughout the first half The Gremlins were unable to move the oval in their opening series and the Cards took over on the W-41. With Koski and Jarvela doing most of the ball carrying, the Redbirds drove to the H-39.

Two passes fell awry and a penalty thwarted Red and White goalward drive, Petranek punted to the H-15. The boys of Coach Juan Mentink were unable to move the oval and a bad punt gave the iards the pigskin on the H-20. On the first play from scrim- nage, Jarvela swept around end for the game's initial score. Jerry Maki's attempt kick from placement for conversion was blocked by linebacker John Kelly. Wakefield led 6-0.

The Cards regained possession of the oval on the H-44. Petranek drove to the H-37, Mike Sampson plowed to the H-31, Koski went to the 29 and Sampson carried to the 28. i then spotted Maki in the clear with a pass, and Maki raced nto the end zone unmolested to push the score to 12-0 with 8:45 eft in the first half. Maki's attempted "extra point kick went wide. Sparked by a 12-yard aerial to Juntikka and hard, running by Bob Campbell, the Gremlins nenetrated Wakefield territory 'or the first time in the contest, moving to the W-33.

Wakefield held a 12-0 first half advantage'. A partially blocked punt, in Walker Kicks 4 Field Goals As Lions Beat 49ers 26-17 SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Detroit Lions coach George Wilson said last year he felt Wayne Walker could become one of the greatest kickers ever to play in the National Football League. Wilson repeated his statement during pre-season training this year and added that it would take a player with a lot of other talents to knock linebacker Walker out of the picture. Walker made his coach look good Sunday as he booted a club-setting record of four field R. Gemegani with 30 and James Neher with 13.

Cardinal defenses rose up to halt the Copper Country eleven on the W-17 to end the threat.

A poor Cardinal punt gave the visitors possession a a i in Wakefield territory on the W-40 but a combination of two penal ties and a tough Redbird defense thwarted the bigger Gremlins on the W-35. Play seesawed back and forth with the ball exchanging hands several times as neither team was able to generate a serious offensive threat, until Houghtor gambled on fourth down and lost the oval on its own 40.

Walker took over the kicking chores two years ago and, whila leading the Lions in scoring, made good on only nine of 22 field goal tries. Wilson persuaded former-Lion Jim Martin, who shared the former single-game field goal mark, to come out of retirement last year. The move made Walker more determined to keep his job as a kicker and this determination finally paid off. The Lions traded Martin to Baltimore and Walker hasn't been challenged since. The Lions, who boast of having one of the best passing attacks in the game, did not scora through the air.

Nick. Pietrosante scored both of the team's touchdowns on plunges. The Lions, who defeated the 49ers by lopsided scores twice- in 1963, found the West Coast outfit a little tougher in their first meeting of the new season. Detroit moved down field with, ease early in the first quarter but had to settle for a 23-yard field goal as the 49ers defensive secondary came up with the big plays at the right time. Then John Brodie connected with Bernie Casey on a 64-yard scoring pass to give San Francisco a 7-3 lead.

Walker booted his second field goal from the 15 yard line and Pietrosante bulled his way into the end zone from three yards out to move the Lions ahead midway in the second quarter. Walker's third field goal, a 31- yarder, came late in the quarter and put Detroit ahead 16-7 at the half. After Pietrosante plunged a yard for his second touchdown, the 49ers started an attack ot their own and scored on Tommy Davis' 41-yard field goal and Brodie's seven-yard pass to Casey. Brodie fumbled deep in San Francisco territory late in the game and the Lions recovered. Water kicked his last field goal from the 25 yard line after the Lions were penalized 15 yards for holding.

Milt Plum went all the way at quarterback for the Lions and completed 15 of 34 passes. Terry Barr caught three of the aerials for 104 yards. The Lions rolled up 138 yards rushing and added 234 passing, compared with 63 rushing and 138" passing by the 49'ers. The Lions will remain on the coast all this week and will meet the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night. They open their home, schedule against Green Bay Monday night, Sept.
