Kaukauna and Clintonville will square off
Friday night at Kaukauna gym beside second-place in the Mid-Eastern conference
for the time being. KHS coach Ken Vander Velden points out the conference
season isn't over yet and the game Friday night could have a bearing on the
race. The Ghosts will probably go with a starting unit that will include Dick
Carstens at center, Pat Kavanaugh and Dennis Spice at forwards and John Van De
Hey and Quinn Vanden Heuvel at the backcourt spots.
Substantial growth and telephone service has
been reported for Kaukauna, Little Chute and Wrightstown exchanges during the
past 12 months according to the year-end report by manager Cliff M. Flaherty of
the Wisconsin Telephone Company. In a relatively short span of just over a
year, about 300 customers with eight party residents and business service.
A good representation of Kaukauna area people
were present in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas as the Green Bay Packers won the
National Football League championship over Dallas 34 – 27. The Packer fans were
all in the same section an area traditionally given to visitors. The noise of
the 3500 fans from Wisconsin was drowned out by the Dallas fans who dominated
the 75,000 in attendance. When the Packers team came on the field and again
when the final whistle sounded, the fans from the north roared loudly over the
silence that fell on the unbelieving Texans, who saw their chances slip away,
as their team faltered 2 yards from the goal.
”I didn’t want to get involved,” “It didn't
concern me.” These are the most frequent replies when witnesses to tragedies
are asked why they just stood by. Fortunately, the Boy Scouts of America is
still training young Americans to GET involved and help others as evident by
the record setting 323 awards for life-saving, heroism and other meritorious
services presented last year by Scouting's National Court of Honor.

Super Bowl fever is sweeping Kaukauna from the
offices at City Hall to the workshops of the area industries the world title
clash between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday is the
number one topic of conversation among Kaukaunans. Will Fred Williamson
“hammer” Boyd Dowler? Will the Chiefs defense be able to stop the savage slants
of Jim Taylor? Will Len Dawson have time to pick the Green Bay defense apart or
will he spend most of the Sunday afternoon in the prone position looking up at
the bright Los Angeles sky with Willie Davis seated on top of him? Most of all,
will the representatives of the infant American Football League be able to cope
with the years of tradition and pride of the Green Bay Packers?

The Kaukauna Chamber of Commerce sent out
membership statements last week, the statements are an invitation to members
and nonmembers alike to invest in their chamber and the future of the community
according to a release by George E. Greenwood chamber secretary. The
organization started in 1927 now celebrating its 40th anniversary.
The electric automobile - for clean, quiet and
efficient urban transportation - is the subject of sharply increased interest
these days, as a means of combating air pollution, noise and traffic
congestion. Norbert Randerson, Kaukauna said today that pressures for more
research to speed the development of a modern electric vehicle are building
over the nation.
With just over three minutes left in the first
half of Kaukauna-Shawano game at Shawano Friday night, the score was still tied
at 22 all. But then in a flash of action the KHS star Pat Kavanaugh bombarded
the Indians with 12 straight points, while the home towners could manage only
four of their own. “Jumping” Dennis Spice scored 21 points, one less than
Kavanaugh, and swept the boards of 16 rebounds. The Ghosts won the game
67-48.

More than a score of Kaukauna area persons are
back home today basking in the afterglow of their trip to Los Angeles and the

historic first Super Bowl Sunday. The group had Stadium seats painted yellow in
honor of the Packer gold, behind the team bench. Hollywood notables Bob Hope,
Jack Lemmon, Henry Fonda and Buddy Rogers were in the section. A Little Chute
contingent of Junior Salm, Dan Hietpas, Gerald Vandera and Michael Jansen were

Menasha high school attempted to slow Kaukauna
down to a walk Friday night but succeeded only in becoming the sixth Mid-Eastern
conference victim for the Ghosts this season 49–39 in a game played at the
Menasha gymnasium. Menasha came out and went into the pattern offense, often
taking as much as two minutes to get a shot off. However, these tactics did not
cause the Ghosts to panic. Coach Ken Vander Velden's charges forsook their
usual fast-break offense and looked for good shot, while playing some of their
best defense of the season.
Shirley Hurst and Vera Niesen took the
mother-daughter high series and the recreation Department tournament held
Saturday at the bowling bar. In all 74 couples took part in the tourney. The winning
duo has a 721 score with Vera rolling eight 340 two-game total. Finishing
second were Helen and Jane Walker with a 676. Florence and Jean Giordana were
third with a 671 total.

captain of the Notre Dame football team Appleton's own Robert “Rocky” Bleier
was at the annual Red Smith sports awards dinner last Tuesday. Bleier is tabbed

in both sports and scholastic ability besides playing in the high school band
for all four years. He received letters in all four years in football,
basketball and track. Rocky entered Notre Dame in 1964 and after playing on the
