The st. Mary's High school
Bathers dropped another Ca
tholic League duel Sunday to
st. Frederick's Of Pontiac, -
B In which the Mountaineer's
glnring lack of requirements
was visibly emphasized.
B st. Frederick's chalked up a
touchdown in the final minutes
81 the first half, another in the
third period, and the final mark
er In the fourth quarter.
81. Mary's chalked up its
1cote in the third period, when
KGn vernier, the st. Mary's ace
t1flback, whipped 10-yard pass
@ Lawrence D'Luge, halfback
converted from a lineman, and
he raced so yards for the score.
Later in the third period, st.
Mary's rushed the ball up to the
enemy five yard stripe, but fail
ed to produce the push needed
to run 1t over. :.
Again, just before the Ilnal
whistle, the Mountaineers work
ed the pigskin up to the st. Fred
erick's 10-yard line, but could
Mt get 1t across.
"I'm satisfied with the per-
Torrance the boys are staging,
Coach Lee Hart said after the
game. "We're operating without
replacement power that would
come in plenty handy when we
ret into scoring distance. They
fight all the way through, and
that's all that can be expected
this year"

Whir|away SET
for Riverland
BY DONALD SANDERS

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8 - tR)-
Whirlaway and his principal RI
val for handicap honors of the
year, the Louisiana farms Ri
verland, are scheduled to settle
their three-round debate IN the
S1O,OOO-added Governor Bowie
handicap featuring Wednesday S
closing day race program a,
Pimlico.
The decision of Ben Jones, the
canny Missourian who trains the
Calumet string, not to ship
Whirly to Belmont for the VIC
tory sweepstakes, thus awarded
to Pimlico the money champ
ions last eastern appearance OF
the season.
Riv land, the midwest
giant killer who turned in
upset trumphs over Whirly
and Alsab, lost bit OF
prestige when he was beaten In
the Grayson handicap by Aon-
barr here Saturday.
The mile and a half Grayson
was Riverland's first race over
that route, and the big gelding
didn't have the stretch punch to
stave off Aonbarr's bid.
The distance of the Governor
Bowie-a mile and five furlongs
- would thus appear to favor
Whirly, for the son of Blenheim
II has won at every distance he
has been asked to go. He and
Riverland have met twice, each
winning once.
To contest the Bowie, Jones
decided to pass up chance to
even accounts with Alsab. Mrs,
AL Sabath's three-year-old is al
so eligible for the Bowie, but
now is at Belmont.
Jones voted to decline the
Belmont war relief race because
of the trip, coming as it would
after strenuous campaign
Whirly already has run more
than six miles for benefits, hav-
ing made five of his 20 starts
this season in relief program
features.

Packers Seek
Bears Skin
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO, Nov. g. (P -
Having shattered 10 national
football league records in their
last two games, the Green Bay
Packers will take on the big job
of trying to derail the Chicago
Bears in Wrigley Field Sunday
and thus stay in the running for
the Western Division champion
ship.
A divisional playoH with the
Bears would be imminent should
the Packers win. A year ago
Green Bay defeated the Bruins
Is to IA and a playoff ultimate
ly resulted which the Packers
lost 33 to IA.
The national champions have
not dropped a game in 20 starts
since Green Bay beat them in
that Nov. meeting last Fall. In
addition to wrecking records,
Green Bay has a chain of six in
addition to wrecking records.
Green Bay has a chain of six
league victories this season, its
only defeat being a A to %
decision by the Bears in the OPP
ening game.
After Sunday, the Bears will
meet the Detroit Lions, Cleve-
land Rams and Chicago Cardi-
nails, while the Packers square
off with the Giants, Philadelphia
Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Only other games this Sunday
send Detroit to Cleveland, Wash
ington to New York and Phila-
delphia to Brooklyn.
THREE RECORDS
Don Hutson accounted for
three records and Cecil Isbell
for two as Green Bay smashed
the Rams 80 to IL yesterday.
Hutson accepted three touch
down passes and kicked three
extra points for a 81 total and a
season output of 103, which
overshadowed his league record
of 95 last year. He now has ID
touchdown passes to his credit,
three more than his 1941 mark
and the most ever made in a
season in the pro loop. 1t topped
by one the record Hutson and
the Bears George McAfee joint
ly set last Fall.
Isbell tossed three touchdown
passes, raising his total to II for
the season and besting by two
his 1941 record. The one time
Purdue star also eclipsed the
record of an old Packer team
mate, Arnie HerbA', who threw
81 scoring aerials in his nine
year career. Isbell has made So
in less than five seasons.

Prospects Dark
for Euen One
Lion s Victory
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, Nov. 9-(P-The
hapless Detroit Lions, beaten 35
to z yesterday by the up and
coming Pittsburgh Steelers, now
have dropped eight successive
National Football League games,
and if there is anyone in the
house who thinks the Detroiters
will win one of their three re-
naming games, owner Fred
Mandel should hear about it.
The Lions, who supposedly
had worked themselves into a
victory mood by reasonably
good performances against the
powerful Chicago Bears and
Green Bay Packers, went 90
yards in foM plays for a first
period touchdown against the
Steelers before 1858 spectators
at Briggs stadium, but then the
roof caved in.
Led by Virginia's Bill Dudley,
the leagues top ground gamer,
the Steelers scored two touch
downs in the second period, two
in the third and one in the
fourth. Dudley, although limited
to 81 yards in Is tries, dashed 81
yards for one score and passed
for another.
Elmer Hackney, a Steeler
castoff, scored the Detroit touch
down from the one after gallop-
ing 70 yards to set it up. The
touchdown was Detroit's fourth
of the season, and Coach John
(BulD Karcis had every reason
to believe victory was in sight.
Augie Lilo, a sharpshooter who
gets little work, placekicked the
extra point.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-11-09

Hazel Park racked up It's
first and only score in the last
minute of the first half, when
halfback Wallace went over
from the five yard line. The
play was set up on long pass
that hit two Bathers before
bobbing into the hands of a
Hazel Park receiver, line plays
took it over from the Bather IL
yard stripe, and the all-impor-
tant conversion was made for
the extra point.
The Bathers scored their
touchdown shortly after the
opening of the second half, when
Ralph Siewert, big Bather end,
intercepted a Hazel Park pass
soon after Hazel Park took the
ball on the kickoff, and truck
ed on down to the Hazel Park
two yard stripe. Fullback John
Sierens took it over through the
line.
The Bathers outplayed Hazel
Park consistently, and should
have won by at least one touch
down. Soon after the first score,
the Bather kickoff rolled into
the Hazel Park end zone, no
player went for it, and a jubi-
liant Mount Clemens player
Topped on the ball. Instead Of
ruling a touchdown, however,
the ball was brought out to the
Hazel Park 20 and put into
play, to the bewilderment of the
Bathers. Again in the third pc
riod, a blocked punt gave the
Bathers possession of the ball on
the IS yard line, and Johnny
Sierens catapulted across the
line. 1t was ruled that Sierens'
knee had touched, and the ball
was brought back. Sierens
claimed he was two feet over the
goal line.
The Bathers will elect their
1913 football captain tonight,
and pictures will be taken,
Coach Ernest Buckholz an
nounced.
