Old-Timers Defeated One of the largest crowds of the season at Millers' Corners baseball park saw the home team gain an early lead and go oh to defeat the old-timers 13-1. A few of the fans remarked after the game that Ray Miller's club played their best game of the season and if they would have played like that during the* regular season they would definitely have been in the play-offs. Ray decided just before game time that he would have his regular pitcher (Rich Miller) start the game. He wasn't going to take any chance on the refreshment bill, but after three innings, Ray finally came irt and showed that he hasn't lost- much of his stuff. His fast ball isn'to there,. but he sure had the oldtimers fooled through four innings of excellent relief work. Ray could just as well have started the game. I'm sure he would have been just as effective and would have been credited with the win. * The top hitters for the oldtimers were Dutch Haase and Buster Smith, each with two hits in as many times at bat. Connie Miller led Millers' Corners with three solid hits, including a long double off the top of the left field corn wall. . A couple interesting notes on the game were the brother acts -- Jerry Miller getting a good solid single off brother Ray, after he had two strikes on him, and Rich Miller striking out brother Dan his first time up. With the bases loaded in the last of the sixth, Roddy Winn, the manager for the old folks, came in to pitch with Ray Miller at bat, and Roddy, with his nothing ball, struck out Ray on three pitches. Ray had two hits for the day and said after he struck out he was just tired. The old-timers' only alibi was that if they would have had Billy Klaus back for the game they know they would have won.

He hf&s proven himself ah able quarterback. No doubt there will be lots of competition for the other backfield positions. Big Bob Miller has the inside track on one end position and Jim Harris is trying hard again this season to nail down the center spot. This - six-man football isn't an easy game to play or coach. It is a wide open game and many times the scores will soar into the thirties or forties. The field is shorter than eleven-man by twenty yards and its width is ten yards less. The game is played the same, but in this game you will find more handing off and forward passing. That's what makes this game as thrilling, if not more thrilling, than the regular game of eleven-man. When the Rockets take the field Friday, Sept. 16, for their first game, let's all get behind the boys and the new coach and get them started off to a winning season. This game will be played at Greeley Field, right in back of the high school, starting at 3 p.m. Homecoming Sept. 30 Friday, Sept. 30, will be the annual homecoming game and dance. In past years, the parade has been a huge success and this year the Richmond-Burton Community high school is inviting every business house in Richmond and Spring Grove and all organizations to participate in the parade. So everybody had better start planning and building their floats this very week. Remember, just three weeks to Homecoming. There will be prize ihioney and the winning floats are definitely to keep the prize money and^-not turn it back to the schodl. The floats should be at the high school parking lot by 1:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30. to line up so the parade can be under way by 2:05 p.m. Our Coach, Ned Morgenson Ned Morgenson is a graduate of Horlick high school in Racine, Wis. while in school there, he starred in baseball, football and H basketball.

NAME ADDRESS CITY PHONE Beans Beans are one of nature's most abundant, therefore economical and versatile vegetables. Many people enjoy their own home grown green beans during the growing season but the stores usually offer good quality green beans all year. When your garden supply is exhausted or for a quick supper or different type of meal, try navy beans in this semi-home baked style. Pour 2 number 2 cans of baked beans into colander and • rinse under faucet. Place in bowl and mix with % bottle catsup, tbsp. prepared mustard, a sliced green pepper, one cup brown sugar and seasonings to taste. Place in shallow baking dish with a peeled onion in center and bake one hour or longer. Add small amount of water if it becomes too dry. Bacon strips or frankfurters may be placed on top for a meat course. Another good recipe is always popular. This is red kidney bean sal^d. A well known concern now puts it up already prepared. Just chill it and serve. We found it very good and a fine quick "stretcher" with almost any type of menu. Seeing is Relieving NIGHT DRIVING DEMANDS CAUTION...
