IRaiders Grab 21-0 VictoryAttendance at the Racine Raiders game last week set an all-time high for the team here and, if it is an indication, may have been the kickoff to a banner year.It would seem that many football fans in Racine would like to have seen the Raiders in the past, but not quite enough to put up with the obstacles at Horlick Field. Now that obstacles have largely been removed, attendance should be high.Horlick Field is much improved, but that does not mean it is a perfect football stadium. The field has no drain tile. W'e will better be able to judge the economy of that fact after the first good rain. Whether water will run off (and the field appears flat rather than sloping to the sidelines) isa question. Many football games will be played there each week, so the turf can hardly stand to be long covered with water.Dressing rooms have one toilet facility each. Football teams have upwards of 40 players. They also have no water fountains in the dressing rooms—which to some coaches may be a sound idea because theyence winners, the New York Giants, have seven players with 10 or more years experience. The Bears, winners in the West, also have seven.Green Bay, however, has only Dave Hanner and Jerry Norton and Norton is used only for punting. Minnesota doesn’t have a player who has been around 10 years. Baltimore has four.In the East, St. Louis hasdon't want players drinking only one and Cleveland threewater at halftime.Whether the walking areas will stand up one cannot yet tell. They are not of a hot asphalt type.Horlick Field is much better than it was. It possibly could have been even better for not much more money.Most football writers are picking Green Bay to come back and win the NFL’s Western Conference championship. They look for Minnesota and Baltimore to be stronger this year. The Bears may be tough again, depending upon Jon Arnett.In the Eastern Conference,It would appear that the teams which have tried to limp along with the veterans without constantly moving in younger players are not expected to do so well.That’s what Vince Lombardi, Packer coach, has been saying right along—you can’t win this year’s title on last year’s record.Pitchers' Duels Highlight Meet. . _.

Madison, a first year entrant in the league, battled the more experienced Raiders to a standstill most of the way.Fumbles and intercepted passes stymied the attacks of both clubs. Injuries were expected to slow the Raider attack on the ground but the Madison defense was chiefly responsible for holding the Raiders to 55 yards rushing.May PassesIn the end it was Jim May’s passing, thwarted three times before by Madison interceptions near the goal line, that gave the Raiders their win.After Chiappetta, a demon on defense all night, had thrown Simeni Liu in the end-zone for two points in the third period, in the fourth period May found the range with a 12 yard touchdown pass to Pete Bock and to Jerry Erickson for three yards and a TD. Chiappetta put more icing on the cake by stealing a Madison toss and racing 50 yards to score with 1:42 to go in the game.In the scoreless first half both teams missed scoring op-j portunities. Racine marched to the five early in the first! period only to have Mike Gross, former UW linebacker, intercept a May pass in the end zone. Madison drove to Racine’s 31 where Pete Madden intercepted a Jim Easland aerial.Intercepts PassShortly before the half Dick Lueck intercepted for the Raiders but Morrie Hauktreid countered with a Madison interception on their six yard line.Late in the third period Du-chow punted out on the Mad ison four and two plays later Racine had two points on a safety.Chiappetta returned a fourth quarter punt to Madi son’s 36 and the Raiders were off, but only after Ernie Hux-hold made a diving catch of a May pass at the 17 after it was batted out of Ron Anton’s hands.May hit Bock in the end-zone two plays later and it was all Racine in the closing minutes.In another Central States League game Saturday night, Manitowoc edged Sheboygan 14-12.That's No. 2SCORING Raiders AMadison 0 0 0 #— 0R—Chiappetta. aafety, tackled Liu in end r,oneR—Bock, 12. pass from May Duchow kick iF- Erickson, 3, pass from May iKick failed iR—Chiappetta, 50. run intercepted pass 'kick failediStatisticsFar Madfirst downs 9 4Passing 3 2Penalty 1 0Yards rushing .....Yards passing Total yards gainPasses attempted .....Passes intercepted be ..... 4 3Punts 7-33 1-31 jYards penalised ...... 25fumbles lost 2—Journal-Time* PhotosIt was a joyous night for Racine Lutheran fans, upper, as their team edged Chicago Luther South 13-7 at Horlick Field. l ower, Don Schmidt (16) of Lutheran, who scored both of his team's touchdowns, was en route to a nice gain.

Wisconsin is host to Kansas State, while Northwestern entertains Oregon State in a pair of intersectional affairs.More answers will be forth coming on Sept. 26 when all 10 league constituents take to the field. That day’s strife will include one conference game sending Northwestern to Indiana.Elsewhere it will be Notre Dame at Wisconsin, Illinois at California, Idaho at Iow'a, Air Force at Michigan, Michigan State at South Carolina. Nebraska at Minnesota.been known to purposely lead writers astray.Those coaches who are proud possessors of bonafide football players are doing their best to hide the fact And naturally, those with weaknesses are likewise stnv ing to hide them. It all makes for a status of uncertainty.The sportswriter visiting the training camp in search of news generally is taken in tow by the publicity man, who feeds him exactly the in formation the coac h desires to see in print. This consists of cliches like:(1) I’ve never seen a squad with so much desire.(2) We’re going to show up for all our games.(3) This looks like a building rebuilding year.(4) If we get the breaks we can be a pretty good team.(5) We may not win many.forth with its annual pre-sea son poll today showing IIli nois holding down third plac* and Ohio State fifth.
