NEWS AND NOTES
TWO KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
OCTOBER 15 (Marinette) - Two men were killed and
two injured when a touring car carrying eight men from
Ishpeming, Mich., collided with a furniture truck on
Highway 38, two miles from Crivitz, Wis., last night.
The dead are Walfred Anderson, 30, and Fritz Ring, 28,
both of Ishpeming. The injured are Hjalmer Solberg and
Reuben Stevens. The Ishpeming party was returning
from the Bear-Packer football game at Green Bay and
were traveling north. The truck, driven by Herbert Shiek,
Joliet, Ill., was coming from the north when the accident
occurred. Fred Langes, driver of the touring car, Fred
and Arthur West, and Ben Blocken, occupants of the
Michigan car, are being held in jail here pending the

says the lights of the truck were dimmed and that he
failed to see it in time to avert the crash. The driver of
the truck claims the touring car was traveling on the
wrong side of the road. The injured are in a hospital
here.
CAL'S COMMENTS
OCTOBER 16 (Green Bay Press-Gazette) - Once in
awhile a sport scribe "fumbles", just like a football
player. We did in the story of the Bear-Packer game. In
handing out bouquets to the Green Bay players, we
stubbed our toe on Earps. Jug wasn't mentioned and he
deserved just as much credit as the other players. It is
lucky for the Bears that he didn't have two more arms to
use...The Packers' tilt with the Milwaukee Badgers on
Sunday should be another thrilling pigskin combat. The
Cream City aggregation under the leadership of Jimmy
Conzelman have been showing lots of class on the
gridiron and as yet they haven't tasted defeat this
season.
MILWAUKEE BADGERS HERE SUNDAY TO FACE
PACKERS
OCTOBER 16 (Milwaukee) - The Milwaukee Badgers
will travel to Green Bay this weekend where they will
meet the Packers, Wisconsin state champs, Sunday
afternoon at Bellevue park in a pro league game. This
contest is considered one of the most important on the
Badgers' schedule and Captain Jimmy Conzelman, the
former Rock Island star, is working his squad daily so
as to have them in the pink of condition for the Packers.
Aside from Smith, who suffered an injured shoulder in
last Sunday's game against Racine, the Badgers are in
good physical shape for the game, which is one in a
series for professional football honors in Wisconsin...
NOT YET BEATEN: The Badgers haven't as yet tasted
defeat this season. They have participated in three
games, knocking off Jim Thorpe's Indians and battling
to tie scores with Pete Stinchomb's Columbus eleven
and the Racine Legion. When Conzelman took charge
of the club this fall, he immediately started a house
cleaning. Aside from Conzelman, only Dinger Doane,
fullback, and Gyp Mooney, halfback, are again in
moleskins...HAVE FORMER BEARS: Center Larsen
and guard Smith were purchased from the Chicago
Bears. End Sachs was secured from the Chicago
Cardinals and Peaches Nadolny was secured from
Green Bay via the waiver route. Among the other stars
in the Badger lineup are: Blailock from Baylor U,
Underwood of Rice Institute; Wenke from Nebraska;
Winkleman from Arkansas; Turned and Strickland from
Lombard; Erickson, an All-American halfback from
Washington and Jefferson; and McGinnes, last year's
captain captain and star lineman at Marquette.
Underwood, the big guard from Rice Institute, is a
second "Cub Buck" when it comes to weight as he tips
the beam at 265 pounds. Larson, the former Notre
Dame star, who plays center, saw service with the
Packers in 1921....EXPECT TOUGH PICKING: The
Badgers realize they will have tough picking against the
Packers but Conzelman is confident that he can build
up a defense which will curb the Bays' famous forward
pass a ticket. A Badger scout saw the Packers play
last Sunday against the Chicago Bears and he came
back loud in praise for the Green Bay Packers.
MILWAUKEE PRO ELEVEN LAUDED BY SCRIBE
OCTOBER 16 (Green Bay Press-Gazette) - "Our
pigskin fans are just beginning to realize that Milwaukee
is represented by one of the best professional football
teams in the country. The team has not been defeated
in four starts against tough opponents and it shows
more class every time it starts. Because Jimmy
Conzelman violated precedent and gathered a squad of
youngsters, some of them unknown in this section of
the country, little consideration was given the team at
the start of the season. However, Conzelman's move
has been justified by the fine football played by his flock
of youthful stars, who put more of the real college spirit
in their play than any professional eleven we have ever
seen. Complaint has been made that the pro games lack color. Some of the teams do play in a methodical machine-like manner, but not the Badgers. They are full of fight all the time. Sunday, Milwaukee plays the Packers at Green Bay. It should be some battle." Manning Vaughan in Milwaukee Sentinel.
PACKERS MAKE READY TO DEFEND STATE GRID TITLE
OCTOBER 17 (Green Bay Press-Gazette) - The second game of the series for the Wisconsin professional football championship will be played here Sunday afternoon when the Green Bay Packers have it out with
