C 1 C H I I G STIFF A revised and revitalized coaching staff again were the unsung heroes in the background of Wisconsin ' s successful 1942 football picture. To them invariably are the team ' s failures attributed, while the credit is spotlighted upon players. With no satisfactory replacement to fill the backfield coaching position vacated by Howard Odell, genial Guy Sundt, assistant athletic director and Cardinal gridiron immortal of two decades ago, wiped seven years dust from his coaching cleats. Sundt again proved himself a man of unquestioned coaching abilities and vast athletic experience. So capably did George Fox handle the duties incumbent upon him as end coach in the previous season, that he was assigned the tackle- tutoring chores last fall and made the transition with a facility and unassuming ease that characterizes him in all his activities. Regular freshman football coach since 1935, affable Russ Rippe ' s advancement to the varsity staff was a happy instance for the guards and centers under his tutelage. Much of Wisconsin ' s success was attributed to the improvement of the center of the line. Suiul, 1 j Uippe iiilililreher Guy Sundt. Prof. Rundell. Harry Stuhldreher, Bill Aspin- wall. Dr. Lorenz.

Coach Harry Stuhldreher ' s Badgers ran into unexpectedly stiff opposition from Camp Grant ' s well-conditioned veteran eleven in the opening game of the season, a game which was played on Sept. 19, one week before the opening of the fall semester. Led by Acting Captain Paul Hirsbrunner, the Badgers initial thrust was halted on the Camp Grant 7-yard line after a 40-yard march which began after Mark Hoskins had intercepted Stan Stasica ' s pass. But Seelinger ' s pass was intercepted in the end zone to stop the drive. The Badgers threatened again in the second quarter and reached the 8-yard stripe before Stasica intercepted Quarterback Jack Winks pass. Hal Schumaker intercepted Halfback Elroy Hirsch ' s attempted pass on the 10 to end a third Badger drive. Wisconsin finally got its first break in the last seconds of the third quarter after Fullback Pat Harder ' s attempted kick from the 36-yard line fell short when Stasica fumbled and Bob Hanzlik, Badger end, recovered on the Camp Grant 12-yard stripe. On the first play of the fourth quarter. Fullback Bob Ray raced around his own right end to score and then converted the extra point. The Badgers muffed another big scoring opportunity in the middle of the last period when Ashley Anderson, quarterback, intercepted Stasica ' s pass on Wisconsin ' s 25-yard line and raced to the Camp Grant 6 where he had the ball knocked out of his hands and Center Fred Negus recovered but the Soldiers held.
