One of the hardest hit is oncebeaten Michigan, making its conference start as host to undefeated Iowa. The Wolverines, 13 point underdogs, their hopes of upsetting the Hawkeyes jolted the loss of fullback Lou Baldacci and star halfback Branoff. Iowa, led by coach Forest Evashevski, one of Michigan's alltime greats as a player, is at its best physical shape of the season. The Hawkeyes will be gunning for their second conference victory after taking a 14-10 opening decision from Michigan State. Last week they tuned up with a 48-6 romp over Montana while Army was trimming Michigan 26-7.

Michigan State's great halfback, LeRoy Bolden, was not included on the traveling list to Indiana. It will be the first time that the Spartans' senior and cocaptain dressed for a game. But the Hoosiers also have their troubles. Halfback Milt Campbell's status is doubtful after the sophomore star failed to respond to treatment for pulled leg muscles. Michigan State, rated a 10- favorite, will be striving points conference triumph after losing to Iowa and 6-0 to Wisconsin last week.

Illinois, opening its Big Ten title bid after non-league defeats by Penn State and Stanford, will square off against powerful Ohio State at Champaign, probably without the services of two fleet sophomore halfbacks, Abe Woodson da and Harry Jefferson. Woodson still is hobbled with a bad ankle and Jefferson has a fractured jaw. The Buckeyes are a seven point choice i to gain their third victory after defeating Indiana 28-0 and California 21-13.

The Giants and Indians split 70 per cent of this sum on a 60-40 basis while the remainder was divided among the other first division teams in each league. This year's winning and losing shares surpassed the previous record set last year when the New York Yankees received 230.63 each and the Brooklyn Dodgers got $6,178.42. The Giants voted 30 full shares, three half shares, two shares and voted 11 money gifts to players who were with the team only a short time. The Indians voted 34 full shares, half share, four shares and nine money gifts.

The Yankees, second to the Indians in the American league race, got full shares of $1,784.79, with the third-place Chicago White Sox getting $1,224.68 and the fourth place Boston Red Sox $595.79.

GOLDEN (of The Sports Staff) TN SPOTLIGHT--The Univerfootball team steps right into the big spotlight on Saturday when they tackle Rice Institute nationall televised football game here at Camp Randall. Millions of football fans will witness the Badgers and Owls in their intersectional encounter and they will all be watching to see if Wisconsin really deserves the No. 3 rating in the nation.

Badgers tied for tenth in the preseason ratings, moved up to Golden fifth after their convincing win over Marquette and then took the No. 3 spot Badgers' Power To Face Rice's Speed Full House to Watch Battle By HARRY M. GOLDEN (Of The Capital Times Sports Staff) Unbeaten Wisconsin and Rice, defending champions of the Southwest Conference, will match their talents at Camp Randall Saturday before a sellout crowd of over 52,000. Game time for the nationally televised contest is 1:30 p. m.

The capacity crowd for the intersectional contest gives Badgers five sellouts in five home games. With the exception of the Michigan State game where the crowd was just about a thousand below capacity, the Badgers will be playing to full houses in all their games. Wisconsin squad had a far ha harder workout on Thursday than was Coach Ivan Williamson to give his expectesed" players a letup and hurried them through both offensive and defensive drills. Quarterback Jim Haluska worked but lightly as he is suffering from a cold. However, he will be in action Saturday.

The Badgers worked well after dark and the lights were turned on at the practice field. The Badger attack seemed to be smoother and the play of ends Ron Locklin and Jim Temp was outstanding. It is up to those two stellar, veteran wingmen to put the clincher on the speedy Rice backs. The game has been hailed as contest between Rice's flashy left halfback, Dicky Moegle, and Wisconsin's powerhouse fullback, Alan Ameche. However, the battle royal will be fought out down in the line where the stalwart Badger forward wall must be given a slight edge at least.

Coach Williamson has every reason to "fear" the Owls as they have romped over two foes with ease, Florida and Cornell. In fact, so lopsided were the contests that Coach Jess Neely was able to use his second stringers over half of the time. Rice, no doubt, aims to run over and around the Badgers and feels that they have the tickets to turn the trick. However, the game could turn ino a free scoring contest for the Badgers have scoring talents too in the smashes of Ameche and the runningpassing threat of quarter back Jimmy Miller. Perhaps not as fast as Rice, the Badgers can still grind out ground and keep possession of the ball a goodly share of the time.

It is very doubtful if Rice in its two wins face a team the same caliber as the Badgers. Certainly Marquette and Michigan State were stronger teams than the two opponents that Rice rolled over. The Owls were beaten by the Badgers in 1952 but since that time have won 15 of 17 games and played in the Cotton Bowl last Jan. 1. In that contest they romped over Alabama.

THE CAPITAL TIMES MADISON, Friday, October 8, 1954 Central Hopes for Upset of Beloit East Invades Kenosha Lair CORNELIUS (Of The Capital Times Sports Staff) Madison Ceutral, which meets the tough ones first this year, tries to snare a victory over Beloit here tonight in a Big Eight conference football clash that starts at 7:30 p.m. at Breese Stevens field. The Downtowners, in good physical shape, despite having tangled with Proviso of Maywood, Kenosha and Madison West on consecutive weekends, go after their initial victory against the Saints. Beloit has split even in two conference games and is coached by Ken Currier, now in his fifth year as head coach at Beloit.

Currier spent two years on the coaching staff prior to taking over as head coach. Two of the championship clubs came with an undefeated record in 1952 and a co-championship with Racine Horlick last year. His clubs have won 25 and lost 10 games since Currier became head coach. Central lost 26-0 at Beloit a year ago but smells the possibility of an upset here tonight. First of all the Downtowners have a veteran outfit, it is good physical shape, and after three defeats, the last two of which were close, the Centralites feel they stand a good chance of a victory.

Two all-conference players, Jim Ewing, an end, and Gupton, a back, are on the Beloit squad. Don Beale, who will start at left half on offense, and at safety will captain the Downtowners. Meanwhile East is at Kenosha tonight while Wisconsin High entertained Jefferson this afternoon. The East-Kenosha game is a Big Eight conference affair. The Jefferson-Wisconsin High game is a Badger loop contest.

Nelson, Chairman of the event, announces that tickets have been placed on sale, at $2 per person, at Wisconsin-Felton Sporting Goods, Badger Sporting Goods and the Masonic Temple. A capacity crowd of over 500 is expected. hanK SALIS ICK MOEGLE has made a fast start in his efforts to help Rice win all its games and justify his pre-season All-American selection. The Owl halfback had a sensational night against Cornell last Saturday despite the fact he played less than half the contest. His principal aides, in clearing the way, were Guards Kenny Paul and Don Costa.

If Moegle can strut his stuff again, while a nationwide TV audience looks on, he'll give Southwest stock a big boost. He won't hurt his own, either. Tony Branoff, Michigan's backfield ace, will miss the Iowa game Saturday, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan has announced and that gives Iowa the edge. Branoff reinjured a knee against Army last week and will be replaced by Ed Hickey at right half. Oosterbaan has returned the Wolverines to fundamentals as Bennie has repeatedly stated that Army's over the Maize and Blue was accomplished largely by hard blocking and tackling.

MONGRATULATIONS to Garner Willis "Sec" Taylor who Oct. 3 year as sports editor of the Des Moines Register, Des Moines, Ia. Hope he continues for many more. Stu Holcomb, coach of Purdue and Ivan Williamson of Wisconsin are doing right well this football season. Williamson has been near the top rung of the ladder for so long he must be accustomed to it, but Holcomb goes up and down like an elevator.

However, last Saturday Wisconsin displayed a defense that was a picture to watch. For years, Midwest writers arid fans have raved about the versatility and class of the Michigan State backfield.

If memory serves correctWisconsin tied that running game in knots and while the final score was close, it did not paint a true picture of the ball game. It looks like Wisconsin's defense again holds the fate of the outcome on Saturday. It is doubtful if Milt Bruhn's fine line will let the team dow.h. Jim Temp and Ron Locklin carry a tremendous load in this game. It is up to them to shackle Moegle and the rest of the speedy Rice ball carriers.

A reformed horse player blames it on the oneplatoon system. This fan who follows the point spots on college games as closely as he formerly gave the Racing Form says "I'm swearing off. College football is too unreliable." Fritz Crisler, Michigan athletic director, who led in the fight in the rules meeting that curtailed platoon operations, thinks this is no real factor in the increased incident of the surprise element. "Both teams play the same thing," reasons the Michigan director.

"I don't believe the rules make a bit of difference." His private theories are on other matters. "First, there is the absence of breathers in early season games," he says. Then there's the limitation of spring practice. The Big Ten still has spring drills. Some sections have no spring drills.

Harry also tells us that the $100,000 American Derby, one of America's historic races will be run on the grass in 1955 for the first time since its inaugural in 1884.

Actually, rating of that type don't mean too much. It is nice to see Wisconsin right up near the top of the heap and the fans hope that they will retain such a lofty position for the remainder of the season. Long ago, this corner, stopped sending out ratings. several occasions, the Badgers have played topnotch teams and won and with a very respectable season have been far down the list. Teams who have won a game or more but not from the same type of opposition were above the Badg-15 ers and lauded as really something.

That got a little bit on the disgusting side so from this end, the ratings were gotten. Of course, there is always the philosophy one Milwaukee sports writer who stated: "I'll vote just for meanness if nothing else. My one vote won't count lot but at least they will know that we in the Middle West are still pitching for our good team." Maybe he's got something there and one should reconsider about sending in ballots on Sunday. However, let's wait and see what the Badgers do with Rice and perhaps there will be a change of heart. WISCONSIN HAS a good football team this fall.

So does Rice and the Owls' backers feel definitely that they will take the Badgers on Saturday. Since Wisconsin played at Hous-(ly, ton in 1952, Rice has compiled an enviable record. They have won of 17 games and not against pushovers. They are co-champions of the Southwestern conference and they were lopsided winners over Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. The Houston followers feel that they have just as good football in Texas as the Big Ten and perhaps they are correct.
