James E. PixIee the ball, much
Of the thrill formerly identified
with the uncertainty of the game
would be restored.
Keep in Rear
When on-side kicks were legal
the defensive team was forced to
keep far in the rear two Of it's
players, thus precluding such
stout defenses as the eight-man
lines as are now used to stop run
ming attacks.
When a team can recover the
ball after kicking it las was per-
Missile under the rules before
the on-side kick was abolisheO
the defense can not afford to
mass it's strength near the line
of scrimmage. Under this circum-
stance the defensive team must
keep two men deep in the rear to
field the ball-to retrieve it at the
expense of onrushing players OF
the kicking team-So that ter.
ritory necessarily large enough to
invite passes from the offensive
team will be left open.
If the on-side kick were legal
now the fans would see much
more thrilling games as a result
of the use of the kick as an
offensive weapon. They would
see players of the kicking team
trying to field the ball on the
fly, as they now try to field
passes, and successful efforts re-
warding them with possession Of
the ball.
Help Restore Interest
Abolition of the tumble rule
also would help to restore much
of the interest, for comparatively
weak teams would have a chance
to win games against stronger
opponents simply by making the
best of alert play. Probably the
chief reason why the rule against
running with recovered fumbles
was established was because too
many strong teams were losing
simply due to their poor handling
Of the ball.
Placing a penalty on the FUN
bling of the ball-such as allow
ing the defensive team to run
with a recovered fumble-would
serve to emphasize proper han
ding of the ball, which, after
all, is something even the non
partisan fan likes to see. Ger
tainly, no team should object to
having its mistakes capitalized
by the opponent, even if that
means being scored on.

PREPS DISP[AY
GANENESS
By SID KATZNELL

Which is the gamest and
most spirited football team in the
scholastic circles? Georgetown
Prep, Of course.
Yesterday the Little HoyaS took
it on the chin from Central High,
q to 10, but they were not out
gained. The Prep team probably
played its best game of the year
against the interhigh champions.
At one time the Joe Gardner
coached machine was on the long
end Of the string, 10 to Z.
The heavier and faster charging
Central line caused Georgetown
Props downfall, not Frank KocSis.
They should give this little fel-
low, Billy Richardson, more credit.
He Is q great gridder.
Ban Huddle
With darkness approaching, the
officials banned the huddle dur.
ing the second half Of play.
LON 1Ju1llhp, NCAlOA d1 . AudA VCA
back, was knocked silly when he
intercepted a Hoya passer and
was tackled by Maury Nee just
before the first half whistle was
sounded. He regained conscious
ness a few seconds later.
Central's band was so full Of
melody that several sports writer's
attempted to dance.
Many Of Central's old grads
were on deck cheering for their
alma mater. Among the promi-
nent were Mike Macdonald, Al
Stern and Pete Nee.
Lynch Aids CogginS
Coggins has added another ad-
wiser in the person Of Joe Lynch,
former Mt. st. Mary's star. His
other henchman is Fred MulVey,
former G. w. end.
Central players had nothing but
praise for the plucky Georgetown
Prep eleven. One player said
after the battle:
"ThOse Georgetown boys Ger
tainIy know their football. They
play q clean cut game"

Toward Calender and Capt. John
Jankowski.
In the line, where we will be
heavily hit, we will say goodbye
to John Nally and John Ball, ends;
Lloyd Stafford; Phil Gross, Ed
Lennon and Tom Nally, tackles;
Jim Lyons, guard, and Eddie
White, center.
While in no way wishing to
overlook this fine collection Of
athletes, feel it timely right now
to pay particular tribute to four
lads who have, for the most part,
lodged the spotlight while play
ing really great football.
Four SparkplugS
I have reference to Lyons,
White, Jankowski, and Charley
McVean, team players and spark
plugs who have always played
heads-up, aggressive foo tball
under any and all conditions.
And in making this move I'm
not overlooking the likes of Phil
Gross, one Of the greatest tacklerS
I've ever coached anywhere. I'll
deal with him sometime later.
White, in my estimation, is the
ideal center. Despite his 1856
pounds he has consistently out
played 200 FOUNDERS and is one
Of the finest little ball hawks I've
ever seen.
Lyons is another fine team man
and one of the most moderated
linesman ever turned out in this
section. Jim has football brains,
is phenomenal in diagnosing plays
OF the opposition and is an up
hill batter with plenty Of heart.
"Jan" COncientiOuS
Jankowski is one of the most CO.
operative players I've ever seen
and one of the most contentious.
During an era of great Catholic
U. backs Jan" was content. to
block and otherwise render him.
self invaluable in a team role,
leaving the spectacular to his
running mates.
Charley McVean, one of the
1ighteSt members Of our eleven,
has been a good, heady quarter.
back prone to rise to emergencies
in fine fashion. Charley'S steady

Of many a rut and has manifested
itself generally when most reeded.

BILE h a n DIS Of Edgar Miller
Coach Gar" Davidson all this
week. I can easily picture him
getting the boys together every
now and then for little reminders
of this and that held over from
last Saturday. He might even go
so far as to ask:
"Well, boys, if P. M. C. held
you in the mud for three quar-
tiers what do you expect the
Navy to do If it rains?"
Have Stock Answer
I imagine the boys have a stock
answer for this one.
II know, I know, but with
Buckler and johnson not max
ing their usual 20 yards at =
clip how can we ever expect to
get anywhere?"
After all, what finer tonic could
P. M. C. have offered the Army
at this stage Of the season than
some unexpected resistance? If
there was overconfidence in the
squad the game corrected that in
the first half.
Needed q Touch
Perhaps Army's offense needed
q touch here and there on timing.
This, too, was made easier by the
fact that Army marched 800
yards in the mud for only IL
points.
On a raw day with a "breather"
team for an opponent it is almost
impossible for any coach to get
his first team out from under
their warm blankets and on the
field with any real enthusiasm
for splashing around in the mud.
It hurts their dignity.
They'd much rather huddle on
the bench and laugh at the re-
serves as they slip and slide like
skaters on a spree. If anyone
must worry over P. M. c. stand
ing-off the Army last week it
should be Navy, because it is Ger.
tain to mean a more business
like Army team this Saturday.

EAMLOSES.
27 TOI IS
BY GARRETT WATERS

NNAAASASA1G
They played only one game,
but two victories are being cele-
brated today at Central and
Georgetown Prep.
The two teams put on" a most
interesting football show yester-
day at Central Stadium where an
unexpected result eked its way
INTO the record books.
Central won, AZ to 10, but not
before its tougest fight of the
season, and that's taking in the
Tech game in which Z to 0 tri-
umph was registered.
Today, Central Is celebrating its
nth victory of the campaign be-
cause q stubborn and plucky
Georgetown Prep team was sub
dued after that same team had
uncorked a most unusual fight
during the first half.
Georgetown Prep is celebrating
b victory-not in a sense that 1t
triumphed out on that battle
SCARED Central turf yesterday,
for in reality it didn't, but be.
cause it won one of its biggest
moral victories in years.
Little HoyaS UnderdOg
The many events during the
20 minutes will bring out this
idea. First Of all, the Garrett
ParkerS went into the game de-
eidedly the underdog. They
weren't going to win as Central
was going to prove too much OF
q match for them.
AS it happened, they found to
their joy that they had a chance
TO win as the first half ended
with Central tied, 10 to IS. To
get this far advanced into the
game, the Preppers unleashed a
passing attack that absolutely
was the best seen on local scho-
Sastic gridirons this season.
Tom Heating, triple-threat back,
heaved some of the passes, Tom
McNamara others. And when
this pair wasn't heaving 'em,
Al Spalding jumped in as the
Ghrower, with Tony Scaturiochio
and Maury Nee receiving like vet
Grams Of many campaigns.
After the first half, Central
finally got the idea Of the thing
and began hating these well
executed passes. The Mt. Pleas
ant backs, Bryant and Richard
son played in the right spots and
most every Georgetown pass
with one or two exceptions-was
grounded. The result was that
Georgetown Prep didn't score any
more and Central was able to go
out and get a two-touchdown
margin of victory on the occa-
Sions when it had possession of
the ball.
Good While It Lasted
While it lasted, Georgetown
Props efforts were truly spirited
and of the inspired type. The
team capitalized in every way by
ats method Of attack at the start
and although stopped cold in the
end, the performers left the iield
with truly a moral victory under
their belts, becau-e, first they
had given Central a scare, sec.
ondly, they became the first
team to cross the Mt. Pleasanters'
goal line since :arly IL the sea-
son, and thirdly, they gave their
high school opponents the close
sort Of battle they had hoped
DO give them in the first place.
In Central'S support, 1t must
be said that the Mt. Pleasanters
played an excellent game on tie
many occasions they were on
ehe offensive. The team played
be expected powerful game when
