Bezemes Holy
 Cross Hero Against North Carolina State
Especial to the DemOcrat)


 Worcester, Mass, Oct. 26-After winning its first game of the season against intercollegiate competition, the Holy Cross Crusaders hope that their long-predicted and equally long awaited winning streak is finally under way. Saturdays 28-0 victory over a better than average North Carolina State eleven, clearly demonstrated that the Crusaders are a better team than their record this season would indicate.
 Hero of the North Carolina game was limber-limbed Johnny Bezemes, senior left halfback. whose passing and running this fall has helped in some measure to compensate the unexpected reversal of form which has overtaken last years All-East fullback, Johnny Grigas.
 Classy Passer
 BeZemes ran IT yards around end for the first Gross touchdown, and later negotiated 78 yard runback of punt to secure the Crusaders lead. Throughout the season, even in defeat. Bezemes has been Coach Ank Scanlon's golden-hai boy, ever threat with his passes.
 Chicago Bears Sid Luclsman, who coached the passers during spring training, calls BezemeS one of the best college passers he has ever seen. The fact that Johnny's record is not more impressive Is due to the ineXperience of his receivers.
 While Bezemes' senational play continues to bewilder H. rooSers as well as opponents, the showing of Johnny Grigas has been disap- pointing. Johnny. who was mercury in headgear almost every Satur- day during the 1941 season, was counted on by Scanlon as his touch down maker this fall. So far. Grigas is having difficulties making even first down.
 His inability is attributable in part to the fact that Scanlon has shifted him from his accostumed fullback spot to right halfback or wing back in his modification of the Warner system.
 Wasted Speed
 Last season under Joe Sheeket- skis T-formation, Grigas specialized on wide interference, depending on his speed and deception. This fall, seeking to give his ace more protec- ton, Scanlon has been trying to run a Greyhound /bus behind a Model T Ford. The fastest man on the squad despite his 200 pounds, Grigas has been running his inter ference into the ground time and again. In an effort to get away from them, he has acquired the bad habit of cutting in at the wrong time. As result his most substantial "gain" this season came against Syracuse when h lost yards.
 However, with BeZemes leading the attack on the ground and in the air and getting some help from Andy Natowich, Jce McAfee, and Steve Murphy, the prospects of vic- tory over Andy Kerr's twice-beaten Colgate Red Raiders this week are bright.

 New York, Oct. 26- (UP) - Showed under by the football fam fare over the weekend was the fact that Benny Leonard joined the U. s. Maritime Service as lieuten- ent. His immediate job will be well fare director at the Hoffman Island N. Y. station, where apprentice sea- men are trained.
 Among other duties, the former lightweight king will supervise box ing instruction and conditioning, a post he can fill admirably.
 Leonard was one of the smartest boxers ever to toss leather. And he was such an able all-around fighter that it's still a matter of debate among the old timers whether he or the late Joe Cans was the greatest of lightweight champs.

He was operating in the golden era of box ing that combined good fighters and big gates, as illustrated by the S367, 1882 and S452,543 attracter by his two bouts with the excellent Philadelphia southpaw, Lew Tend Ter. ..
 Despite the heroics attending Leonard's career up to his title re- tirement, it seems to us that his later attempted comeback was one of his truly remarkable perfor- n,ances and the one that should make him most fit for conditioning other men.
 Benny returned to the ring in 1881, after being inactive for six years. During that interim, he tried to increase the wealth that he had hammered out with his fists. He invested heavily in Jersey City real estate and New York City mort oages and even operated the Pitts burg club of the National Hockey League. But the depression gave his a worse licking than he ever got in the ring.
