FOOTBALL The Cards maintained their unbeaten conference record by eking out a 21-18 win over Cornell to push the latter into second place. Duane Phillips cracked over from the 12-yard line and Wally Kozlowski kicked point to give the Cards a 7-0 lead. With the score 7-6, Jake Phillips hit Rubisch with a touchdown pass and Kozlow- ski made it 14-6. just before the end of the half Cornell scored to draw up to 14-12. Early in the third quarter Cornell made Thorp-'s line look like a sieve and rolled to an 18-14 lead. Duane Phillips broke loose in the fourth quarter to place the ball in scoring position, and then personally passed to Kozlowski for the touchdown - Wally again split the uprights to make the score 21-18. The Cards then went to work on defense to preserve their lead, and in the closing minutes Duane Phillips scored another touchdown only to have it called back by a penalty. Speaking at the Homecoming festivities, Mr. Peter- son, who had peered intently into his infallible crystal ball and after a few mental gyrations, solemnly assever- ated that Thorp would subjugate their antagonists from CHEERLEADERS Top: Charmaine.

The Cards, out to prove irrefutably that their favorite prognosticator was not pipe dreaming, cop- ped the Cloverbelt championship with a resounding 20-7 victory. The touchdowns were monopolized by Thorp's devastating running back, Duane Phillips, who cracked over from the 3, the 10, and on a 30-yard pass from Wagn-er. Kozlowski kicked two extra points. Thus ended a successful season. The Cards won 7 and lost 1 and placed two men on the All-Conference team - Captain Soderberg and Duane Phillips. CLOVERBELT STANDINGS Team Thorp ,..... Cornell ....

STARTING LINEUP Duane Phillips. FOOTBALL prevented the Cards from scoring, but in the final period they tallied on a pass from Qualle to Don Rubisch after Wagner had placed the hall in scoring position with a 21-yard jaunt. Final score: Medford 18, Thorp 6. The old adage all's well that ends well applied to the trip to Tomahawk, as the Cards brought back the bacon, 6-0. Thorp chewed up a lot of yardage, but tough breaks, prevented any scoring until the third quar- ter when a fine defensive maneuver by Captain Soderherg gave the Cards a chance to score - and score they did when Duane Phillips plowed over for the big six points. In their Hrst conference game Thorp defeated Neillsville 6-0. The defense held Neillsville during the first half, but the offense bogged whenever it reached striking distance. In the second half the Cards hit their opponent with a lead pipe. After losing the ball on the Neillsville 20, they came right back with Wagnier romp- ing thirty yards for the gameis only touchdown. Thorp racked up their second straight Cloverbelt victory over Cadott 25-0. The Cards looked good in the first quarter with Duane Phillips prancing 44 yards to within scoring distance. From that point Grabon and Wagner punched it over, Wagner going the last 8 yards. The score remained at 6-0 until the final quarter when the roof caved in on the Cadott boys. Qualle went around right end to make the score 12-0, and in the closing minutes Duane Phillips ripped over for two more touchdowns. Thorp's third conference game with Owen turned out to be a bruising 13-6 battle. Owen really battled, but the Cards had too much power, rolling up l4 first downs to 7. Duane Phillips and Wagner led the team on offense. Jake Phillips who seldom carried the ball on running plays sneaked over for one of the touchdowns while his brother, Duane, scored the other.
