Lanky Bones" Taylor will be
back at end Sunday when the Red
skins tie into the Chicago Bears at
Griffith Stadium and it should add
a couple of welcome touchdowns to
the Tribes final tally. In our book
the Oklahoma City alumnus is a
two o-touchdown threat every time
they shove him into the game while
the Tribe has the ball.
Taylor doesn't have to make the
scores personally to serve the pur-
pose. He's one of those double
barreled threats the enemy has got
to guard with two men at the risk
of being scored on every time Sam
Baugh throws to him. Bones" is
twolegged race horse once he
shoves those stills into high gear
and can run away from most of the
defensive backs in the National
League, as "Bosh" Pritchard of the
Eagles probably will agree.
Opens Up Possibilities.
Taylor is invaluable because he
opens up so many additional pos
sibilities for a pay-off thrust. Baugh
has more chance of shaking loose
lii Eddie Saenz and equally lii BOZ
Nussbaumer when the opposition is
trying to keep an eye on Bones.
He's easy to find, can make a good
catch on bum throw, and-most
important-Baugh has a lot of con-
fidence in him. Taylor will make a
difference against the Bears.
As everybody now knows, the Red
skins have got to be high-scorine
outfit to win this year. They should
have had two more touchdoWns
against Green Bay last Sunday, but

Hagerty Fears Hoyas
Will Regard N.Y.U.
Game TooLight|y

Jack Hagerty had the job a foot
ball coach breads most on his hands
today as Georgetown's gridmen be-
gan serious work for Friday nights
game with New York University
at Griffith Stadium. The Hoyas
had a right to be little cocky
about their intersectional triumph
over Tulsa, and Hagerty is afraid
they may take Fridays game too
lightly because N. Y. u, got the
buns rush at West Virginia.
While Georgetown won handily
at Tulsa it could have shown a
better brand of blocking for the
ball carriers, particularly Tommy
Graham, and portion of this weeks
work will be devoted to that depart
ment. A couple of times last Satur-
day Graham and Connie O'Doherty
would have gotten away for good
gains with just one more block.
Hagerty certainly had no COM
plaint about Elmer Rabas passing
even though he overshot the mark
on the Hoyas' first play and missed
a touchdown. But thereafter Mr..
Raba hit his targets like an expert
marksmsn and Tulsa can count it
self lucky at getting off with a two
touchdown loss.
Georgetown line will be expected
to play starring role against N. Y.
u, and If the secondary can sup
port it with the same kind of pass
defense it showed last week the
Hoyas will send their supporters
home happy. But, as Hagerty was
quick to see. there's tendency to
take the Violet too lightly. He thinks
it's a bad time to get overconfident-
especially with a team that has
taken bad drubbing trying to re-
gain some of It's lost prestige.

London Crowd Boos
Monaghan S Victory
BY the A,sociofed Pres,

| LONDON, Oct. 2l.-British sports
writer's generally agreed today that
the Rinty Monaghan-Dado Marino
Flyweight fight in Harringay Arena
last night was one of the dullest
seen there in long time, but most
of them sided with Referee Teddy
Waltham's decision that Monaghan
was ahead on points at the end.
! Although he was knocked down
twice by Marino, the Irish crooner
was awarded the 15-round decision
an unpopular verdict booed by the
sellout crowd of 10,700.
| The fight was billed as a 112-
pound championship bout by Pro-
moter Jack Solomons and Mon

tically everywhere but in Britain as

happened. They'll need at least four
touchdoWns even to have a chance
against the Bears. but if the Baugh-
to-Tavlor battery clicks, and the
running backs who've been carrying
the load thus far are in stride, the
Skins can do it.
Tackling Is Bad.
There isn't anything wrong with
the Tribe the players themselves
can't cure. Tackling, for one thing,
is bad and that is one fundamental
they should have learned in high
school, The blocking is worse-an-
other item every pro is supposed to
be solidly grounded in when he
comes up to the big time. But the
Skins lose three and four yards when
they tackle a back charging through
the line. With a few noticeable excep-
tions like Dick Poillon and Tom
Farmer, they seem to wrestle 'em to
the ground rather than drop them
cleanly.
AS for the field generalship, Coach
Edwards must shoulder the respon-
sibility for it, and he has done so.
1t is easy enough to sit back and
second guess anybody and it all boils
down to the old maxim that if your
strategy works you're hero and
| if it backires you're bum. We
think the coach was just little bit
unlucky against Green Bay.
Club officials. meanwhile. were
awaiting the doctors decision
whether Fullback Sal Rosato and
Halfback Bob Nussbaumer will be
available for the game. Rosato
strained his back when he tackled
and Nussbaumer had a leg calf and
ankle damaged in a pfleup. The lat
ter may be ready, but it is doubtful
If Rosato will see action.

|Co|oniaIs Encouraged
BY Miami 5 Failure
To Score Heavily
By MerreII WhittIesey

Although the prospects of George
Washington breaking its losing
streak are not good this week as the
Colonials open a two-year pact with
the University of Miami, there is
encouragement in the fact that the
Florida team has scored only one
touchdown in each of its first four
games.
The Hurricanes were without a
victory until they defeated Rollins,
SO, last week. Rollins is moving
out of the little-school class in foot
ball, however. and a victory over the
Orlando school means more than in
previous years. Rollins defeated
Richmond earlier in the season.

Miami club lost to Baylor and Texas
Christian, each by two touchdowns,
and tied Villanova. IT. Villanova
certainly Is rated we'll above G. w,
in this section.
The Hurricanes packed the Orange
Bowl in their first two home games
against the Texas teams, but after
two losing efforts they lost several
thousand supporters for the Rollins
game.
According to reports from Florida
the biggest weakness in the Miami
team in its first three games was
lack of condition. But for the first
time this season they left the field
last Friday with the opposition more
tired than the Hurricanes.
Miami was prevented scoring more
against Rollins by several fumbles
fdeep in Rollins territory. The Hur-
ricanes will be strengthened against
the Colonials by the return of both
the first and second string centers,
Hap Schuler and Keith Doyle. They
missed the last two games and it
was erratic snaps by inexperienced
centers that led to costly fumbles
Good news to @. w. is the fact
that Miami opponents have picked
up considerable yardage on kick re-
turns, while the Miami papers have
been playing up G. W.'s lack Of a
pass defense.
G. w. leaves tomorrow night for
the Friday night game. The Hurri-
canes will return the visit next year
