Oklahoma Sophs Only
To Use A Plays, Too
Puzz|ing 10 Vets
OId-Timers Are So Used
To Power Football They
Cont Employ Deception
BY tie Associated Press.

NORMAN, Okla, Oct. 14.-On the
theory that old dogs are reluctant
to master new tricks, Coach Dewey
LuSter of Oklahoma is taking the A
formation away from his regulars
and leaving that hocus- -pokus TO
the brash pups on the second team.
The Sooner coach arrived at that
conclusion in great anguish of spirit
while his football team was being
run through the Texas mangler at
Dallas last Saturday, 40 to 7.
AS Texas was grinding Okla
homa's new A formation-as COM
pounded by the veterans--into
grade A mincemeat, the sophomores
cavorted gaily out there in all that
carnage, using its deception to drive
goalward. ----
They banged so loudly at the goal
the game was not yet the wild
runaway it became later-that
Texas regulars were rushed back in
to shoe them off
So from here on Big Six and other
foes may expect the usual power
plays from the first teams single
wingback and nobody knows what
off the A from the sophomore un-
derstudies.
Juniors and seniors. versed in the
power offense that Oklahoma used
in the past, will be packed into the
first eleven, Luster said, and will
not be mixed into the sophomores,
who take to magic like SO many
wizards.
These young kids "like that A
formation-they like deception, and
they showed me that it would work.
But the older boys have been
playing of single wingback for so
long it's hard for them to change.
That's the reason I can't mix 'em
up"
The A (for the formation of those
who can't keep up with this era of
alphabetical formations) Is an un-
balanced line to the right, the back
field shifted to the left, with back
in motion formatio T fashion.

Long Runs TO Scores
Give Georgia Davis
League Point Lead

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Oct. 14-Long runs
have sent Georgia's Lamar Davis
away to an early lead in individual
scoring among Southeastern Con-
ference teams.
The Bulldog halfback helped cover
174 yards in five touchdown plays
that put him points ahead of
Vanderbilt's Jack jenkins, 80 to "a
Davis dashed As and SO yards for
two tallies, tagged two touchdown
passes for and % yards, and took
lateral after a forward pass, total
ing 43 yards.
Jenkins, Vandy quarterback who
also tailed twice on passes, put
variety in his scoring by booting the
field goal that beat Purdue and
adding extra points against Ken
lucky and Tennessee Tech.
To Carl Minis, Alabama halfback,
went the one-game laurels. He tai
lied his three touchdowns in his
first varsity game-against Howard
last week-on runs of %, q and 6
yards. Most players have already
been in three games this year.

Skins Recall Gentry,
Which Means Some
Back Will Go
Bonto or Kruger Appear
In Danger; Poss Defense
lrks Coach FIoherty
By BILL DISMER, Jr.


Recall of Elmer Gentry of Tulsa
University, one of two rookie quar-
terbacks released before the Red
skins broke training camp in the
West, was announced today, presa.-
ing possible shake-up among the
corps of backs now with the team.
Gentry, who weighs around 1875
and stands an even feet, was one of
only two unretained freshmen on
whom the Redskins kept strings at
tached, having been farmed out to
the Long Islands Indians of the
American Association under 24-hour
Option.
Who will be released to make
room for Gentry has not yet been
announced, but there is no doubt
that Coach Ray Flaherty was dis
pleased with the work of some of his
backs at Pittsburgh, especially On
defense.
Defense Against Aerials Poor.
Inferior pass defense gave the
Steelers two touchdowns and set up
their third, while the tackling by the
Redskins secondary was strictly
high schoolish. Three Indians had
a chance to get Dick Rifle when he
took Alan Donelli's pass for Pitts
burghS first 6-pointer, but he cut
away from all three and a fourth
was blocked out completely. Both
OF the Steelers' other two touch
downs came as a result of their pass
receivers getting behind Redskin de-
tenders, and it is this phase of the
game that Flaherty must strengthen
or suffer many uncomfortable mo-
ments on the bench.
The Steelers completed only 8 of
their % passes, It's true, but those 8
went for 1853 yards and 3 were ex-
tremely costly, as has been men,
toned.
Without knowing for sure, we'd say
that Gentry-who is either an in
side blocking back or a wingback-
would replace Jack Banta or AL
Kruger, the Southern California
freshmen. Taller than both, Gentry
has spirit and determination to
succeed that seems strangely lack
ing in the ex-Trojans, who appear
rather apathetic about it all.
Banta Fails to Shine.
Banta, further, was no ball of fire
in his pro debut last Sunday, run
ming like deer laterally, but being
stopped cold the second he cut to-
ward the direction of the goal And,
with three games already played,
Flaherty hasn't yet puckered up his
courage sufficiently to use Kruger,
notoriously weak on defense.
Ken Dow is another rookie he
hasn't used, but Dow is a fullback
and sprained his leg last week in
practice, thereby rendering him un-
available against Pittsburgh. 1t
isn't likely he'd be released with
out trial.
News that he has become the
papa of an 8-pound boy seemed
to make a different man out of
Sammy Baugh today and his team
mates are awaiting next Sundays
game at Philadelphia with new in
terest. If and when Baughs passes
start clicking, the Skins will be just
twice as dangerous, but so far his
average is below 500 and he hasn't
thrown one touchdown -heave. His
mediocrity, contrasted to his four
previous brilliant years, has been
attributed to worry over his wife's
condition.

Pass-Grabber Hutson
Continues 10 Lead
Pros in Scoring

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA. National
Football League coaches have been
studying Don Hutson's pass-catch-
ing maneuvers for six years, but
they still don't know how to bottle
up the great Green Bay fiankman.
Hutson, leagues leading scorer
last season, again is in the lead. He
scored 13 points against Brooklyn
Sunday to run his five-game total
to 80 points. Close behind are his
teammate, Clark Hinkle, and New
York's Ward Cuff, last weeks pace
settlers.
Hutson and Cuff have kicked the
most points after touchdowns, eight
apiece, and Hinkle's three field goals
give him the lead in that depart
ment.

Rumors today were that Astor
Clarke, the Nations No. l duck
pinner, after break with the strong
Del Rio team would join Hap New

their next match which is likely TO
be a return engagement at Balti-
more with the Franklin Bowling

The addition of Clarke would boost
the chances of the Cavaliers scoring

Saying Which, but Each
Respects RivuI Team

News item: George Washington

and coaches will entertain news
papermen at an informal get-to-

Sometime during the evening Bill
Reinhart Of G. w. and Jack Hagerty
Of Georgetown will get together for
a polite chat and we give you 4
pre-view of the conversation with a
little mind reading thrown in for
good measure.
Reinhart-Looks like another
Georgetown year to me, Jack. We
haven't got much material and what
we do have isn't clicking. But we'll
make it interesting for you'll hope.
(And how. II we don't beat 'em by
two touchdowns, my name Is
O'ShanniganD
Hagerty-I don't know about that,
Bill We've been ragged in three
games and this seems to be our of
year. Well. 1 suppose we can't win
'em all. Not all, but this one is in
the bag. Well beat EN- 40 to o.
Reinhart-If 1 had a couple of
backs like Reiges and Doolan I
might have some punch in the at
tack. They sure are good boys
(But wait'll he gets a load of Don
Pinnow and Paul Weber, then he'll
see a couple Of real backs)
One Must Be Wrong.
Hagerty-Yeah, but we don't have
an end on the squad who stacks ur
with your Johnny Picco. He's all
America in anybody's book Of he,
all-America, Chris Pavich and Art
Lemke are the greatest ever Geez
will they show that Picco how t<
play the positionD
Reinhart-Picco's all right, but ]
wish I had a tackle comparable
with Al Blozis. Now there is an all
America. Of our Johnny Konizew-
ski doesn't plant that big stiff :
feet under, I'll know the reason
why.)
Hagerty-Al's all right, but we
haven't guard that can hold a
candle to your Hank Agusiewicz
NV scouts tell me you can't bulge
him with anything less than a der
rick. (Phew. wonder If that sound
ed too strong? Mcmahon and Pa
ternoster will bounce him around
until he thinks he's a rubber ball
He's pushover)
Reinhart-You know, Jack. II we
could figure out a scheme to stop
those spread plays we might make
1t close Friday night. tAnd have
We got them figured out. All of
Georgetown's gains will be made
between the sidelines)
Hagerty-We're not using them
much. We'd like to have some power
plays like those your boys use. With
them I think we would 60 places.
(And without them we'll do all right.
Well run 'em dizzy with the
spreads) .y,, -. ''',
Hard to Forget Centers.
Reinhart: Say, I almost forget
about those two great centers you
have in Ed Derringe and Whitley
Erickson. They've made you forget
Matuza and Reichey, haven't they?
(Are we going to run some plays
through those two. ummh)
Hagerty: Well. it's hard to forget
last years centers. Derringe and
Erickson are only fair. (But they're
so far superior to his Don Seibert
it isn't funny)
Reinhart: 1t ought to be a good
game to watch-if we can hold you
fellows to a couple of touchdowns.
I hope We get good crowd out for
1t. I'D like to have a big crowd
sit in on this kill)
Hagerty: It'll be close whichever
way it goes. I just hope we make
a good showing and give the fans
