THE RHINELANBER DAILY SEPTEMBER Hodags Hope to End Everest 28-Game Streak Saturday Saturday's Tilt Top Attraction On Valley Slate The Rhinelander Hodogp will invade Schofield tomorrow afternoon confident of their ability to break the 28-game winning skein which the Everest Evergreens have accrued over a three-year period. The contest will mark the first -Wisconsin Valley Conference-cum- i petition of the season for both squads. Game time is set for 2 o'clock. i The Hodas-Evrrgreen tilt will be the "bit!" came-this woekend. Everest will go into the game as defending chnmpions.

Since Rhinelander showed its strength in the Phillips game last Friday, defeating the Logrollers 26-0 and playing an excellent game in a steady drizzling rain, and Rapids stunned all by bowing to Merrill, 13-12. the cry in the Valley this week has changed to "Rhinelander will be the team to beat i for the championship" and most feel tomorrow will tell the story, In comparison with the Hodags' victory oyef Phillips, Everest did not look tjuUe as sharp as it posted a 14-0 win over Tornahnxvk. However, in all probability Coach Howle-Sllehm did not use the strategy he has in mind for Valley play. A team holding a 28-game win record and defending its schools' title as champs is always tough and Is not Ijkcly to become discouraged because graduation put a big dent in the squad. Also the Evergreens will be out for a victory to highlight the stadium dedication festivities which will take place tomorrow.

Both Coaches Scouted. Coach Stiehm scouted the Rhine- land.er-Phillips game and there is no doubt he has been drilling his boys in accordance with the information he gained as a viewer at Hodag Park last Friday night. On the other hand, Coach Wayne Barham took in the Everest-Tomahawk game and he too has been putting his squad through the paces he feels will have' the most effect on the Evergreens. Among others at the Everest opener, a number of the green Rhinelander letter jackets were seen, as the Hodag varsity, again showing the tremendous interest it has displayed since first drills began, traveled to Schofield to view its first Valley opponents in action. Undoubtedly the boys picked up a great deal of knowledge that will benefit them tomorrow.

In 1957, Everest traveled here and marched to a 19-0 victory at Hodag Park. This writer predicts the Scoreboard will read slightly different after tomorrow's meeting between the two squads. We take Rhinelander over Everest 20-13. The Hodag gridders have been working hard this week and will be fired up for the game. A win could well start them on the road to the 1958 WVC championship.

This season's squad has good size and is well balanced. Players work well together and, most important, have a terrific will to win. They have a strong defensive and offensive forward wall and have shown their ability to move well both on the ground and in the air. Rhinelander's probably starting lineup will have Roger Palmer at left end; Bill Rodd, left tackle Jerry Lettelier, left guard; Brian Kichefski, center; Bill Rowe, right guard; Dick Vig, right tackle; Pat Hollands, right end; George Richards, quarterback; T. J.

Gilley, left halfback; Tom Johnson, fullback, and Joe Flannery at the right halfback spot. Other Hodags ready for action include Tom Madson, Jim Shells, Dave Cox, Gary Tromp, Dave Phillips, Mike O'Melia, John Johnson, Jim Bretl, Roger Marquardt, LeRoy Piehl, Peter DeLoye, John Novak, Bob Raduchel, John Moeller, Pete Johnson, Larry Barber, Jerry Mahalick, Phil Marquardt, Pat Guilday. Dale Radtke, Tom Fredrich and Gary Lortseher. The Everest roster is as follows: Pat Kennedy, Roger Anderson, Jon Zielsorf, Louis (the latter four being the only returning Dave Dubore, Jack Peterson, Don Guerink, Pat Habeck, Don Karau, Kurt Beyries, Dave Klug, Paul Gehrke, Ron Reich, Ron Sickler, Terry Narlock, Ron Moesch, Walter Prelipp, Dick Prieve, Jim Zielscjprf, Roger Hettinga, Glen Karpinski, Ed Wilke, Dennis Kamke, Perry Gould, Roger Konkol.

He's not worried about losing, but rather how he'll win. The 19-year-old Philadelphia lightweight, who has won 12 of 13 bouts by knockouts, is afraid the bout won't go the limit.

No. he doesn't have rocks in his head. He just wants to prove to himself and his undefeated fighters have he can box. go the 10-round limit and win by decision. Only against the veteran Pappy Guult has he been forced to wait for the decision.

And that was an eight-rounder. Orioles Take First In Twilight League, Ousting Phillies Twilight Lrague Standings.

Dodger Rookie Howard Seen As Threat to Ruth's Mark Kentucky Tilt to Give Sneak Peek At Football Season By JACK CLARY Associated Press Sports Writer With the first full Saturday of college football still two weeks away and a partial slate due next weekend, there is a sneak preview in store Saturday with a smattering of opening games and some robust full dress scrimmages. the only national power to open, with an inter- ocean clash against the University of Hawaii at Louisville. Wildcats' Conch Blanton Collier said the game was scheduled mainly so his sophomore-laden team could get experience before wading into a tough South-Eastern Conference schedule, Drake takes on South Dakota State in a non-Missouri Valley Conference tilt in the other major Saturday game. Two stronger lesser lights find Florida State meeting Tennessee Tech and Bradley facing Iowa Teachers.

A host of small college games is on tap for Saturday. La Crosse (Wis.) defeated McAlester 26-7 in an opener Thursday night. This will be the final Saturday practice for the Southern and Atlantic Coast Conference teams, as well as the Southwest Conference, who all open next weekend. So do some of the Eastern independents, plus some out of conferences games in the Mid and Far West. Scrimmages Slated.

Wake Forest, opening next week- nd against Maryland in an Atlantic Coast Conference game, has been promised an all-out scrimmage Saturday. Clemson got its first look at Virginia plays in preparation for its Sept. 20 opener and these will be emphasized in workouts from now on. Princeton, though not opening until Sept. 27, has a full game- type scrimmage set against Lehigh.

Virginia Military, 1957 Southern Conference champs, began working against Morehead State plays for their Sept. 20 date, while Dan Devine concentrated his Missouri Tigers on the opener with Vanderbilt. Two national big-wigs, Notre Dame and Oklahoma, began making some advance planning for their Sept. 27 openers. The Irish, who start against Indiana, will probably have to replace starting center Bob Scholtz, out with a knee injury, while the Sooners began setting a starting eleven with a host of changes.

They meet West Virginia at Norman, Okla. North Carolina picked its starting team to oppose North Carolina State next weekend while Duke worked two quarterbacks with the first team against South Carolina plays. Fullmer Decisions Webb in Utah Bout SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Former middleweight champ Gene Fullmer Thursday night applied the pressure for another title shot with a 10-round unanimous decision over sharpshooter Spider Webb. Fullmer weighed 159 3 for the full distance brawl with pound Webb of Chicago. Marv Jensen, manager of Fullmer, said the West Jordan, Utah, windmill is entitled to "a crack at (Sugar Ray) Robinson now, but we'll take (Carmen) Basilio anytime." Robinson lost his crown to Fullmer more than a year ago in a New York decision, won it back with a Chicago knockout, handed it to Basilio and then won it back again.

Sugar Ray was the only man to put Fullmer away for the count. Webb said after Thursday night's loss: "I don't think he would beat me again." The nearly 8,000 equally divided fans roared their approval as both fighters bombarded through every round and finished up with a toe- to-toe slugfest. PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Los Angeles Dodders have unveiled a giant rookie outfielder who may some day break Babe Ruth's home run record. That's what coaches and players were thinking while they watched 22-year-old Fraok Howard, a 6-foot, 6-incher. taking batting practice Thursday.

He made his major league debut Wednesday night and hit a home run. He joined the Dodgers after playing with the Green Bay Bluejays in the Three-1 League, emerging as the loop's most valuable player' and rookie of the year, "I never saw a rookie better equipped to break Ruth's record," said Philadelphia Phils' batting coach Wally Moses. "That boy will stretch a few tape measures around the National "I know it sounds silly to go overboard on a player aftei watching him in two games," Moses said. "But Howard has a hitter's he's about as-)-: strong as a man can get." "Go up and introduce yourself to him," one of the Dodgers told a writer, "just to get him to shake hands. It's like putting your fingers in a vise." "He made me feel kinda on the smallish side," said Gil Hodges, the Dodgers' first baseman who is one of the biggest and strongest players in the business.

Howard, who weighs about 230 and was a good enough basketball player at Ohio State University to be put on the pro Philadelphia Warrior's draft list, seems unaware of his baseball potential at least nonchalant about it. He said he didn't know what kind of a pitch he hit off Robin Roberts for that rooftop homer Wednesday night. And he didn't know the size of his bat either. "All he wants to do is play," said Dodgers Manager Walt Alston. He does, probably, need some seasoning.

He went 0-4 Thursday night while the Phils edged the Dodgers 4-3. But as Phils Manager Eddie Sawyer put it: "I saw Hank Greenberg when he broke in and he was awkard. This fellow Howard has good actions for a big mail. He runs and throws pretty good too. And he can mash that potato." "You said it," Moses agreed.

"Howard is a swinger right now, and a mighty dangerous one. Just wait until he learns a little bit about hitting. Then he'll show you somehing." Belanger, Bodwin Top Ladies League Ethel Belanger and Lee Bodwin won the scoring honors in the Thursday Night Ladies League at the Eagles Club alleys. Belanger posted the high series mark, 443, and Bodwin was second with 436. A 164 game gave Bodwin the single £ame laurels.

Training Pace Slows for Badgers MADISON training pace slowed Thursday for University of Wisconsin football players who skipped one drill to register for classes and then worked out in a light session in the afternoon. Coach Milt Bruhn planned two more light drills today, but warned his Badger candidates that a game-type scrimmage will close the second week of training Saturday. In a player shift Thursday, Bruhn moved fullback Jon Hobbs and halfback Bob Zeman back up to the first unit. Sophomore tackle Terry Huxhold also worked with the first string as did Lowell Jenkins who filled the right tackle post.

Drills will be restricted to a day after classes open Monday. SAVE-SAVE-SAVI ROY'S Auto Service Hwy. 17 Mi. N. of Hwy.

SXJNNY BRrOO Burdetle Seeks Victory Against Cards Tonight MILWAUKEE (AP) Milwaukee's Lew Burdette, who has failed in two starts since he was named the National League's top player in August, will make a third bid for his 17th victory tonight as the Braves engage the St. Louis Cardinals.

The right-hander won last on Aug. 30, posting his eighth victory of the month against a single defeat. He has honest hopes for a 20-victory season, but will have to hurry to make it. Burdette, who has 10 defeats, will be opposed by Bob Mabe, 2-5 for the Cardinals, tied with Cincinnati for fourth place. On Saturday in the final County Stadium appearance of the Cardinals Warren Spahn will bid for his 20th victory.

He also has 10 defeats. The Braves and Cards will end season activities next week in St. Louis. The two-game series opening tonight will bring into direct clash two of the top three batters in he National League, Milwaukee's Hank Aaron and Stan Musial of the Cards. Aaron Got Late Start.

Musial, at the top of the list almost since the season started, is hitting .338. Aaron, who sarted his climb in early August, is five points back at .333, but only one point behind Richie Ashburn of the Philadelphia Phillies, the second man in the race for the title. Musial has 150 hits in 444 at bats in 128 games. Aaron has played in 139 games, gone to the plate 553 times and collected 184 hits. He's also scored 99 runs while Musial has 62.

The Braves outfielder also is involved in a three-way tie for fourth in the league's home run derby with 28. Aaron's batting average is 13 points higher than the best in the American League, the .320 shared by Pete Runnels and Ted Williams, both of Boston. Torre, Covington Over .300 Too. Aaron is one of only three Braves regulars hitting over .300. The others are Frank Torre, 30 points ahead of last year with .307, and the part-time playing Wes Covington, who despite injuries is clubbing the ball at a .328 pace.

He's batted times, less than half Aaron's total. At this stage of the campaign in 1957 Milwaukee had four hitters over .300 with Bob Hazle showing the way with .419. He's now at Detroit relegated to assignments. Aaron was hitting .320, Red Schoendienst .313 and Ed Mathews .302. Last year the Braves also got a big hand in the final month from Johnny Logan, but this year he, Mathews and Schoendienst are way off pace at the plate.

Logan's average has slipped to .234 while Mathews and Schoendienst are .257 and .256 respectively. However, Mathews is third in the home run race with 30. Amateur Tourney Reaches Semifinals SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A rawhide-tough ex-champion, two surprised collegians and a virtual unknown today battled in the 36- hole semifinal round of the 58th National Amateur Golf Championships. The bracketing assured a college player in the final for the first time since 1951 as Dick Foote, a junior at UCLA, met Tom Aaron, a Florida senior. Texan Billy Maxwell won it that year.

In the other semi two 34- year-olds dueled Charlie Coe of Oklahoma City who won the national title in 1949 and Roger McManus of Cincinnati who says he hopes he's a better salesman than a golfer. This quarter, with a distinct Southern flavor McManus was born in South Carolina survived from the original field of 200 who started over the Olympic Country's Club's Lake Course on Monday. For both Foote and Aaron, this is the first time in the U. S. Amatuer.

"I came here hoping to play well enough to make the Walker Cup team," declared Aaron, the Southeastern Conference champion.

Bobby achieved the title Thursday night when he wound up fifth in the six-week international chess tournament set up to determine six potential challengers for the world title. Hutch Isn't Fired, But He's Getting Job Offers MILWAUKEE (AP) If bosses of the St. Louis Cardinals don't hurry up and publicly fire Fred Hutchinson as manager, he might beat them to the punch.

Club officials insist they won't make a final decision until the season ends, -despite reports already is out. But Hutchinson disclosed upon the club's arrival here that he already has received four "solid offers for jobs," is not giving definite answers on them for the time beihg "but I probably will in about 10 days." That will be a week before the regular season ends and the time set by the Cardinal brass for a definite decision. If Hutchinson should announce acceptance of another baseball job around Sept. 21, the Cardinals might not be ready to announce his successor. Alvin Dark, the veteran 35-year- old infielder traded by the Cardinals to the Chicago Cubs earlier this season, is believed to have the inside track for the job if the Cardinals are willing to pay the price in baseball talent that it will take to get him back.

The only way the Cardinals could acquire Dark before- Sept. the day after the season ends and eight days after Hutch indicated he will make his own decision is on waivers. Cardinal officials have indicated Hutch's future with the club might hinge on the club's performance during the remainder of the season. The Cardinals have been doing pretty well, winning 7 of their last 10 games, but it's unlikely a breach between the manager and brewery owner August A. Busch, club president, can be healed.

"I made the mistake of telling him what I thought a couple of times," Hutchinson said. "I thought I was doing him a favor." Hutchinson would not give details of his jobs offers except to say one comes from the National League, two from the American League and one from Seattle of the Pacific Coast League, where he previously served as manager.
