McE|hany, F|ashy End,
Picked by Bisons
To Stop Grady
FIunkmun Deemed Better
Than Foes Nowoskey
By Lewisburg Team

Shooting for its sixth consecutive
victory over George Washington, a
revamped Bucknell eleven marches
into Griffith Stadium tomorrow to
help the Colonials ring down the
curtain on the Districts collegiate
grid campaign.
From Lewisburg comes word that
Coach AL Humphreys will start
rugged Johnny McElhany. 184-pound
junior end, instead of Willard Gore
in an effort to bolster the Bisons'
defense. Word of Tom Grady's
spectacular hoofing against Kansas
last week, plus McElhany's brilliant
work against Muhlenberg, led to
Humphreys decision
The youngster will be pitted
against Bob Nowaskey, crack Colo
nial flankman, and some idea of
the high regard held for him in
Lewisburg is to be cleaned from the
information that Bucknell support
ers expect him to outplay the
George Washington veteran. Nc
Elhany not only is a good defensive
man. but also rates among the best
in Eastern Pennsylvania as pass
receiver.
This probably will be the only
change in the lineup unless Hum
phreys decides to use Nick Priore
in Johnny Plewaks guard berth.
The team will be at full playing
strength and will be cunning for a
500 mark for the season.
The Bisons' attack will be built
around Co-Capt. George Klick, a
triple-threater, and Frank Funair
and Walt Wenrick, an outstanding
passer, Mel Knupp, sophomore,
will call the plays.
Bucknell is jinx team to George
Washington, for never has the
downtown school chalked up vic
tory over the Keystone State eleven.
But Coach Bill Reinhart envisons an
end of famine tomorrow and has
warm reception planned for the
visitors. Eddie Wilamoski and
Grady will lead the Colonial at
tack with sweeping runs on the
outside. Their efforts will have a
twofold purpose, to gain ground and
to open up the Bucknell line for
Walt Fedora's pile-driving rushes
inside.
This system worked to perfection
against Kansas last week, and the
team capped its performance with
exceptionally good defensive play
especially against Ralph Miller's
long, dangerous passes. Reinhart
thinks-and hopes-it will do as
we'll tomorrow.

Eagles Out for Second
Place in Game With
Jersey Tonight
Skeeters Will Present
Ace GooIie; KnipfeI
May See Action

Washington's Eagles will be gun
ming for second place in the Eastern
Amateur Hockey League when they
face off with the Jersey Skeeters
of River Vale, N. j., at Riverside
Stadium tonight at $3.50 o'clock.
Going into three-cornered tie
for second place with the Baltimore
Orioles and Atlantic City last
Wednesday when they nosed out the
Birds, 80, in Baltimore, the Eagles
have a chance to move up close to
the pace-making New York Rovers
with three victories in five matches.
The Skeeters will introduce one OF
the finest goalies in the circuit to-
night in "Hallelujah' Hemming, a
burly individual. The invaders also
have a pair of smooth -functioning
wings in Bell and Allen, who have
been clicking consistently since the
season opened.
Washington may oe strengthened
by the return of Ross Knipfel, sharp
defensive player, who has been on
the sidelines with an ailing knee An
examination of the knee was to be
made today to determine Knipfels
fitness. District fans also will get
their first peek at Gordon Lee, 130-
pound goalie, whose work against
Baltimore was sensational.

counted for the lone triumph. Con-
zaga bowed to Petersburg, 300. and
Georgetown Prep lost to Iona Prep,

Central's all-high halfback, Benny
Steiner, paced his mates to victory,
uncorking a long pass to Sam
Di Blasi on the second play of the
game for a touchdown. The pass
and run covered So yards and fol-
lowed Jimmy Porter's 8-yard drive
off tackle. Steiner added the extra
and what proved Ito be winning
point with a placement.
Wilson accumulated II first downs
to Central's II, but not until the
final period was it able to reach pay
dirt and then tie sithered from
it's grasp as Benton's placement
missed the uprights by a wide
margin.
Gonzaga's defense collapsed COM
pletely in the third period, when
Petersburg tailed 20 points. The
Purple never did right itself. Twice
Orrel Mitchell's eleven was within
the Virginians' 10-yard line, but
both times the defending forces rail-
lied and hurled back the visitors
running game and batted down their
passes. Gonzaea chalked up IL first
downs to Petersburg's as it's attack
functioned excellently between the
20-yard stripes on the muddy field.

All but one District eleven was
out of the '39 football picture to-
day as Maryland and Catholic Uni
versity hung up their cleats for an
other year, leaving the field to
George Washington. George WASH
ington, meeting Bucknell Saturday
at Griffith Stadium, has two games
remaining.
At College Park the Terps waged
a stubborn battle against Syracuse s
superior numbers before bowing,
ITO, while at Brooklyn, Catholic
University swamped Long Island,
35-l4. Oddly enough, the games
eliminated one of the poorest sea-
sons in Marylands history, two VIC
tories against seven defeats, and one
of the brightest in Redbird grid an
nails, eight victories in nine games.
Paradoxically, Maryland made an
excellent showing despite its record.
Hampered by injuries throughout the
year which further reduced it's small
squad, undoubtedly disturbed by re-
ports of impending changes in the
coaching staff and engaging for
midable opponents week in and week
out, the Terps, nevertheless, played
hard, sound football and carried on
to the bitter end.
Terps Display Courage.
That 1877 score of yesterdays s
game Is tribute to the teams SUI
perlative courage and Coach Frank
Dobson's ability to get the most out
of his men. Maryland, comparing
squads man for man, had no license
to make 1t close, for Syracuse, de-
spite its unimpressive record, had
speed, power and a plentiful supply
OF reserves to hurl at its firing host.
1t had tied Georgetown-a team
which rolled over Maryland, 300;
whipped Colgate, and made it in
teresting for other top-f1ight oppo-
nents, and it shouldn't have been
pressed unduly yesterday.
But Syracuse wasn't sure of VIC
tory until the final whistle, for the
Maryland team it faced wasn't a
weak, insipid eleven crying for
mercy and crawling into it's hole,
but a hell-bent-for- leather crew
staging an inspiring comeback after
seven straight setbacks. 1t really
was amazing that the Old Liners
could muster scoring punch, could
put as much enthusiasm into the
game as they did.
The Orange gained the upper
hand in the game midway in the
first period when red-headed Char
ley McPhail dropped back to his 26-
yard line and split the stanchions
with a perfect placement. 1t seemed
as though they would settle down
to some earnest head-bumping for
the remainder of the half with the
customary aerial bombardment In
the last half. But the game didn' t
