The squad worked on con siderable offense and defense in mid-field, practiced rugged goal line stands in which the defense outclassed the offense, and then as a finale ran off a few kickoff plays. Obviously not too pleased with the overall performances, head coach Jim Lee Howell ordered occasional "laps" for the huskies. A "lap" is a fast-moving tour around the practice field, a pen alty for practice boo-boos. Neither Bill Austin nor Ray Beck, both veteran guards, may see action Saturday. Austin is hobbling about on the wounded knee he picked up in last week's Green Bay game,, and Beck is .handicapped by a pulled groin muscle.

Valdes Upset By Satterfield CHICAGO W Bob Satterfield giving up 32 pounds in weight and a half foot in height, blasted giant Nino Valdes to the floor in a sav age lasf round Wednesday night but could not keep the bleeding Cuban there and settled for a unanimous 10-round decision. The crowding, lashing Satterfield a 3 to 1 underdog appeared tiring in the last four rounds as the two heavyweights mauled each other trying to land their knock out sledges and end the televised Chicago Stadium brawl. But sud denly, the Chicago Negro uncoiled a left hook that caught Valdes flush on the .jaw. Satterfield fol lowed with a whistling, right to the face. Valdes plopped to the canvas on his haunches. He was up at the count of five but took a mandatory eight count. Satterfield bulled in, his lists flailing at the Cuban's face. But Valdes weathered the siege and at the bell , was throwing all of his 215 pounds behind his punches in one final attempt to connect. NW Gals Top. Golf Tourney FLORENCE.
