Coach Lisle Blackbourn's Pack-1 ers, currently in third place in the standings of the Western Division of the NFL, still maintain Notre Dame's Paul Hornung Is Named Player of Week CHICAGO, Nov.

23--(UP)-- Notre Dame's "take charge guy," quarterback Paul Hornung, never was more important to the Irish team than he was Saturday against Iowa. Hence, his performance, taking his team l'2 yards in five plays for a. tyin.5 touchdown and then kicking a game-winning 28 yard goal, won him honors as I Press midwest back of Cedar Lake in Elmwood township got its second planting of trout Monday and Tuesday when 5,000 browns were releeased at the public fishing site. Popularity of trou.t fishing in the lake was proved during the past spring and summer when the fishing site, located at the south end of the lake, was seldom found without fishermen's cars. Trout have shown excellent growth in the lake, with some of last fall's plantings now weighing between two 'and three pounds.

Cedar Lake is closed to all trout fiJhing until next spring. Shown here is Claude Lydell, supervisor of the Paris hatchery, as he dumps a net full of lively brown trout into Cedar Lake.

The Tomahawks won their opener from Bay City JC's last Friday and their game tonight will be anything but a toss-up. The visitors will be anchored by a veteran from a year ago, Paul Bott, plus transfer students from Indiana and Ohio who are now attending the Alpena school. a mathematical chrnce of copping the title if the front-running Chicago Bears and the second place Los Angeles Rams should trip in the remaining games. Green Bay, sports a 5-4 record while the Lions have won two and lost seven. The Packers nipped Detroit the season's opener, 20-17, in Green Bay in the final 20 seconds of play.

Quarterback Tobin Rote connected with end Gary Knafelc for an IS- yard scoring strike to snatch victory away from the Lions, who had dominated play through the early stages of the game. Green Bay has been the Lions opponent on the a i i a Thanksgiving Day game since 1931 and the games between the two teams since that time have all been well-contested battles, with Detroit winning four straight. The Lions triumphed 52-35 in 1951, won 48-24 in Itl52, scored 34-15 in 1953, and edged the Packers 2S-24 last year. The Packers have, one of the NFL's top passing-running combinations in pro football, with quarterback Tobin Rote and fullback Howard Ferguson leading the attack. Rote, a threat as either a runner or passer, leads the league in touchdown passes with 13.

Ferguson, a hard-running back without college experience, is second in the league in ball-carrying. Coach Buddy Parker probably will continue to use big Leon Hart, former Notre Dame Star, at fullback. Hart appeared for the first time this season in the backfield against the Chicago Bears. Hornung, a 205 pound junior, has been the key player for the once- beaten Irish all season. He has Duffy Named Coach of Week EAST LANSING, Nov.

He beat his critics to the punch TDy saying, "we proved we could lose gracefully, but I guess we overdid it." It his first season as head coach. He had taken over a football dynasty, only to see it crumble in his hands. When the, dust settled, he picked up the useable pieces, added some new, promising but untested material and built his own football powerhouse, almost overnight He's the United Press coach of the week, Hugh (Duffy) Daugherty of Michigan State, whose team ended its 1953 season last Saturday with an 8-1 record and a summons to the Rose Bowl, beat- Ing Marquette 33-0. It was one of the finest comebacks ever staged in college football.

Daugherty gives the credit to his coaching staff and his players. "The coaches were a year older and a year wiser," he said, "as for the players, the seniors worked like eager sophomores, and the sophomores came through like veterans." Daugherty declined to predict the outcome of Michigan State's Rose Bowl clash with UCLA. "But we'll do our best to carry on the great record of Big Ten teams in past years," he said. The record includes a Michigan State Rose Bowl victory over UCLA in 1953 when Biggie Munn was head coach. Last week, a few hours before the Spartans' victory over Marquette, he was given a year raise.

Happy alumni flooded him with congratulations. More than 2,000 students turned out to cheer him at a pep rally. "I don't know why you're cheer ing me," he told the students. "I didn't play a minute all season. This was a team that made the coaches." Daugherty insists on taking full responsibility for last year's dismal 3-6 record, but he refuses to take 'any credit for the Spartans' current success.

He has completed 36 of SI passes for 484 yards and eight touchdowns. In addition he has been a nearly brilliant signal caller whom Coach Terry Brennan has tabbed throughout the season as "an improving player." Saturday the improvement came close to perfection. Iowa scored with less than eight minutes to play, and then had to kickoff.

Hornung returned the hall 23 yards to his own 3S yard line. Then in quick succession he turned the gamp around. He passed to Gene Kapish for 17 yards, and to Dick Prendergast- for 15. He sent Dick Fitzgerald through the middle on a draw play for 15 yards. One pass fell dead before he connected to Jim Morse in the cud zone for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Ho quickly place-kicked the point after touchdown, his second of the day, and when Iowa couldn't get out of the shadows of its own goal posts and had to punt, he as quickly moved his team downfield again. Hornung's 33 yard pass to Morse to Iowa's nine set the stage for the game-winning field goal.

Pitt Accepts Invitation to Sugar Bowl PITTSBURGH. Nov.

23--CUP) -An air of sophistication permeatec thj University of Pittsburgh camp us today with only a few cheers and hurrahs to indicate the schoo lad accepted an invitation to play the Sugar Bowl Jan. 2--its firs bowl bid in 19 years. The student body, most of them toddlers when the Panthers roared into the Rose Bowl in 1937 and up ended Washington, 21-0, in the las bowl venture, was almost blas about the bid. Dean of Men Theodore Biddli gave an explanation for the of celebrations. "We've got to win the game then we'll have a celebration," said.

Pitt's "big" celebration was helc after the Panthers knocked off traditional rival West Virginia, 26-' to end the Mountaineers' seven game victory streak. Last week the Panthers blanked intrastat rival Penn State, 20-0. It was onl; then that visions of a post-seasoi bowl bid began to take shape. The invitation to play an a yet unnamed opponent in the Ne' Orleans classic is somewhat ot rags to riches story for Head Coac Johnny Michelosen, who was th quarterback of the 1937 squad. I was Michelosen's generalship tb.a carried Pitt to its first bowl victor after three earlier losses at Pasa dena, Calif.

Michelosen, who is in New Or leans with Pitt Athletic Directo Tom Hamilton making preparation for the Jan. 2 battle, hailed the in vitation with a reserved, "It's fine break for my boys." "The boys have been wanting play in a bowl and this game wi be a fine experience for them, Michelosen said prior to his parture for New Orleans. "We'r elated that Sugar Bowl official deemed Pitt wnrthy of an invitatio and we'll make every effort to fu fill the honor."

LOUIS, Nov. 23 -(UP) Vince Martinez, shooting for his ISth straight welterweight victory, and Chris Christensen, seeking to regain lading prestige, meet tonight in a 10-rounder at the St. Louis Arena. The fight, which will be televised nationally and locally, is a big one for both men. Christensen, welter champion of Denmark, can boost his 1955 record to the break-even point with a win.

And for Martinez the match could be another rung on the ladder to a title bout. Christensen has lost two of his three fights this year, losing on a decision to Danny Giovanelli last April and to tough Ralph (Tiger) Jones on a split decision in his last outing two months ago. In between he scored a technical knockout over Gene Poirier in six rounds. But both the Dane and his handlers appeared confident of the outcome on several counts. Christensen will have the edge on Martinez in height and probably In weight also.

He and his camp feel that the caliber of his opposition was a cut above Vince's. Martinez, named boxing's "rookies of the year" in 1952, when he broke in with five victories, four of them knockouts, is a sharp- shooting boxer with a good punch in either fist. He has 23 knockouts to Christensen's nine, fighting in 10 more fights than the Danish champion has had. Martinez has won 44 of his 47 bouts and has never been counted out; Christensen has been the winner in 27 of 37 and has been knocked out twice. NOW IN BACK FIELD DETROIT--After playing end for Detroit Lions sice 1950, Leon Hart moved into the fullback spot midway through the 1953 season.

Canadian Not Afraid of Mighty Atlas Mighty Atlas, who headlines the next wrestling presentation of the iatholic Athletic Association at he St. Francis gym on, December may be one of the world's Wrongest men, but he will have prove that to Stanley Holek, Canadian giant. Holek is 22 years old, six feet, inches tall and tips the beam at 235 pounds. At that weight he will outweigh Atlas by 20 pounds. Promoters throughout the coun- have watched the rapid climb of this modern Adonis and with each bout he has advanced closer .0 the top of the national rank- ngs.

Holek was born and raised on a farm in Northwood, Canada, and has never deviated from the clean, healthful living he knew as a youngster. He is one the coun- ry's best conditioned a-thletes and can be found in the gymnasium on any day that he hasn't a match, rlis favorite exercise is to place 200 pound weight on his back and do push-ups. He is able to do as many as twenty-four in this manner. Holek has met most ot the leaders including champion Lou Thesz, Yukon Eric, Argentina Rocca and em Gagna. A win over Atlas would boost his stock considerably and after ou meet Holek, you get the idea that he is a very determined man.

You also get the idea that if he doesn't win, it won't be because le isn't trying every minute. City Commission REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY I I HELD MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21,1955, AT 8:00 P.M.
