Two Mauled
In Bear Den
At Spikes
Woman Tourist
Hospitalized
A woman tourist from Detroit,
Miss Ethel Becker and a youth employed at Spikehorn's near-Harrison were both, severity bitten, and
mauled by a 500 -pound bear Monday, when the enraged animal turned on * •tlieaii* inside an enclosure
where the hear was being fed,.
■ At the Clare General Hospital
where 30 stitches were required to
close tlie wounds in Mi'ss Becker's
hip, attendants said she" was suffering from shock and nervousness ■
in addition to her wounds. ,
Sli« •wes dragged from the beai;
enclosure after eimiployoes and onlookers drove the animal away,
from her. 'The rescue probably
saved her from more serious in-,
jury.
The boy, 15-iyear old Scott'Brew-
er of Ciare R-5 also suffered ipain-i
■ful bites on his right side and leg.
He was treated at the Clare Hospital
Miss Becker and her companion
Ben Field, also of Detroit, had
stopped at iSpikehorn's wild animal
pit to se? tihe exhibits.
According to a statement by Mr.
Field, Miss Becker ivas invited in-
siie the bear pit by Spikehorn. In-
si-.li*; He fence, Field and Miss Becker were intending to take .pictures
of the (bears being fed.
Field said he discovered that he
was out of film and sl'-pped out of-
the pit and ran to hia car to get
another camera load. When he returned inside, he said he found
both victims, "moaning and bleeding" on the ground where they had
heen placed hy their rescuers. The
•bear had turned on'first Brewer .and
then Miss Becker.
"It happened just that quickly",
Field said.
iSltate palioe who investigated the
afifair were told "practically the
same story 'by witnesses. There'
was speculation that the bear was
maddened when Ills feeding was
halted momentarily- for some reason not stated.
Miss Becker was released from
the hoi^pital Wednesday to return
to her home. But ln'eahtwthile, there
appeared a very good chance that
gipikehorn mlg*ht have to defend
himself and his vicious hear in a
lawsuit, since the injured parties
consulted leigal counsel here, and
' announced their hope of recovering damages.

Cautious Optimism Develops In Grid Picture
On Eve of Class B Clare Hi's Season Kickoff
Varsiity football .-at Clare High
School received a c r i pt p ling
blow when June graduation took
the entire hack-field and exactly
half Uhe line from a team which
makes its, start in Class B company against Big Rapids next Friday.
But the spirit of the coach and
players indicates a smart and complete r.recovery -from, the graduation bum-ps. 'George Perry, new
football coach in tlie Pioneer picture says he wasn't, around last
year to see the team in all its
games, —so how could he know,
or worry aibout what material has
beeu lost?
Looking athead Perry shows a
glum face and will venture no optimism in talking of his *boy's
chances. But (privately ihe has
mueh to he 'happy aibout as the
squad enters the last week of
drills "before the start of the season.
With a few -veterans back on th&
gridiron and good healthy corn-petition, for the uuifilled Kimtt* in.the
startling lineup, tlie system to siuit
the .player material has just about
been decided.
Eager, dependable manpower is
as miuoh as three deep at some
positions and the line is powerful
at the vital guard slots and both
ends.
An untried backfield will take
the field on Septemlber 18. It won't
have a record-hook history, hut it
will have sjpeed and timing. Anything oan happen.
Here are some of the returning
lettermen and omore new faces
which fans will see in action this
year:
Ends—Ron Gartlhe with a full
year of varsity pilay under his belt,
and Red Hales also a regular witli
last year's team. These hoys are
tall and fast. They know their way
down under kicks, have the range
and power to turn plays in to .the
line, and will be dangerous and
hard to stop as pass receivers. Bob
Haynak, Gerald Fullerton, Gail
Sowles and Walt Bay back, up Garthe and Hales* as eaipalble replace
ments.
Tackles—Bill Ulridh, a returning*" veteran from last year is a
probable .starter at the right tackle
position. An open spot at the other
tackle will .prObalbly he filled by
Jim Duncan, a !'9i5_ letter winner
With plenty of size and power, or
Jim Beitinck, fasit, shifty candidate for the 'post, Two otlher tackles who can play *varsity ball on
either side of .tlhe.line are Blvds
Denton and Mel WalteiiSi
Guards —Graduation didn't hurt
the Pioneers in tlle guard position
and two experienced lettermen Jim
Chaudaii'ais and Fred Halggart are
hack to (protect the line's center
pivot. These two know their jobs
and tiheir* defensive .protection or
interference-running will he highly imiportant to a light 'backfield
running from the T. Jim Dwyer is
a . varsity playing 'guard Who cau
take over for either of the starters,
Center —Dick Ftancon, a G'-2"
center who will weigh close to'
185 pounds may turn oat to be the
lineman of tihe year in the sipot
vacated by Ted Hoersich. Depending on how Fancon shows up defensively against Glass B running
hacks, he may get his chance to
become a famous Pioneer. Another
center is Jdhn Roe who oan be
counted on to perform varsity duty
in the line.
j Backs —The OHS backfield will
play a lot of T, and "a little wing-
hack" coach Perry says. The pros-
1 pects are for a light, but fast quartet who can make the T formation
mighty confusing to tihe opponents.
With all positions to fill, Perry's
.prayers have been for a spinning
fulllback, a gticky-lfinigered quarter
who can also read minds, a blocking half made of iron and lightning, and the other hailiflback equipped with atomic .power and a pair
of short, stubhiy wings.
Now here's what he got, Give
these hoys a game and a half to
shake down and theyllil ©Ive Pioneer oip-ponents 'lots to worry
ahout. Earl RdMnettte at QB is a
trant-'fer from Beavei'ton and he
shows good situfif in handling the
I T. Robinette or Kyle Hanley, an-
pther Quarter aiiay find tiheir passing arms and eyes, They're trying.
Fred Miller is another QB hopeful
who wears tihe Varsity suit.
1 Gsicar Rulapaugh and Norris Bay
may have a shade of falvor at the
hiaiflba'ck spots, but tihey are hustling to stay with it while three
other running baoks, Leo Smith,
Nard Rdbinette and Mark Ruark
remain in the varsity .picture, Ru'la-
paush and Bay are letter winning
backs from last year, wlhiile Smark
is converted from the line wlhere
he won his "C".
I Fullback Joe Humiphrey is an-
, otlher letfcer.man in his position and
Bill Siel ia a utility 'back for any
position,
The boys. shTOw lots of .wiM!Jtoiwin
and some of their vacation nusti-
nes9 is wearing oHf with ulie second week of practice. Their last
giame scrinumage "Before the trip
to Big Rapids is soheduiled for a
session under the lights* on the
Pioneer field next Tuesday night.
