Can atomic power be adapted to
the gridiron, putting smaller schools
on a par with the big elevens
through the use of ray guns inside
the jersey and atomic boosters under
the cleats For the answer to that
question, see Coach Bob Mavity of
little Fairfax High School, who ap-
parently has found way to do it.
Take a look at what Fairfax al
ready has done this season. The
Virginians, who have dropped the
tag of THE Farmers" to become the
Fairfax Atoms" stepped out first
to wallop Massanutten Military
Academy. 800. A fluke, every one
Thought.
But then Fairfax took on mighty
George Washington and when the
dust had settled the Atom had won,
1876, for the first time in the athletic
rivalry of the two schools. And Just
to prove that it was no accident,
Fairfax went in against a strong
Bethesda eleven the next week end
and came out on top, 1914.
School Spirit Is High.
Coach Mavity contends that there
is no hocus-pocus, no atom bombs
and no secrets connected with the
small schools sensational success
this season. Its spirit" Mavity
says. you would think this was
Notre Dame the way the students
and parents are supporting the
team. They know we have a win
ner and the boys on the team won't
let them down"
Where did he get all that good
material from a school with such a
small enrolment? That was sim
ple," Mavity says. Instead OF
sounding a call for football candi-
dates and doing the best I could
with what turned out, I put just
about every boy in the school who
weighed over 100 pounds into a.uni-
form-and I surprised myself with
what I got. Right now I guess ]

boy here who is big enough on the

Philadelphia will have the leagues
leading ground gamer on its side
Sunday against the Redskins at
Griffith Stadium, but the Tribe will
have the best passer, official scoring
statistics revealed today.
The Eagles attack will be fash
ioned around the bounding brogans
of Steve Van Buren, who included a
69-yard touchdown romp against
Detroit last week in the SO yards
he picked up to oust Johnny Martin
from the lead. The Skins remember
"Wam-Bam" vividly from last sea-
son, although their meeting was
brief and, on Van Burens part,
casual.
You get one guess who the lead
ing passer is. Last season Frankie
Filchock's unerring pitching kept
the Tribe in the running early in
the campaign, but at the moment
Sammy Baugh is in the drivers seat
with a comfortable margin over
second place Sid Luckman of the
Bears and Arnie Herber of the
Giants.
Also rated among the leaders are
Frank Atkins and Steve Bagarus
Atkins, finally planted at halfback
after being shunted around like a
box car, stands ninth among the
ground gamers, while Bagarus' art
full archwork got his name in three
places. The Notre Dame nomad
who'll wear 100" Sunday at his
own request, is sixth among pass
receivers, fourth in returning punts
and third in running back kick
offs.
Bagarus Making Headway.
Some of the more faint-hearted
faithful have begun to doubt
whether Steve can cut the mustard
in the pro game. They expected
him to run back kickoffs and punts
for touchdowns, and literally fly
through the opposition, and when
1t didn't happen they began to Won
der if he hadn't been overrated.
But the figures bear witness to
Steve's ability and Prexy George
Marshall predicts he'll be breaking
out like a rash one of these fine
days and go to town.
Steve will have worthy opposition
Sunday from Philadelphias Sonny
Karnofsky, who specializes in run
ming back kicks. Karnofsky's ST.
yard dash with a kickoff is the
longest on record this season but il
didn't go for a touchdown. He
might 60 all the way against the
Tribe, but the board of strategy is
rigging particular defense to chop
him down. Karnofsky is 18th among
the leading ground gamers.
Van Buren, with four touchdowns
is third in scoring, and with Roy
Zimmerman around to boot field
goals the Eagles will have a potent
scoring punch to toss at the Skins
Philadelphia needs this game TO,
psychological reasons more than
anything else. A loss here might be
disastrous to its championship
hopes. Reports have sifted over
the grapevine that all is not well ir
the City of Brotherly Love and dis
sension is rife among the Eagles
One unverifled report is that the
