Sticks Out His Chin Again
By Lewis F. Atchison

IT suppose a coach shouldn't
brag about his team, but I can't
help thinking we'll have another
good one" said the gentleman,
leaning heavily on his cane. I'VE
still don't have height, but we are
deeper in reserves and with last
years starting team back I can't
help but feel optimistic about the
outlook"
Elmer Ripley stood watching
the cat-like operations Of the
two teams scrimmaging under
the basket. The veteran George
town basket ball coach had a
sparkle in his eye that any one
could recognize at 10 PAGES as a
pleased look. Evidently, his ILL
starred precampaign statement
of a year ago when he came out
and forthrightly declared he had
at least three All-Americas on
his squad and expected to have
the greatest year in Georgetown
history had not affected the old
campaigner.
They're still all-Americas in
my book" he maintained stoutly,
And we we're rolling at the end
of the season. But Andy Kostecka
(the teams high scorer and
Danny Kraus floor generaD were
out with injuries three times last
season-both at the same time
and that was too much Of ham
dicap."
It was the truth. Kostecka and
Kraus were out so often together
they could have been going
steady. The loss of either was a
damaging blow to the Hoyas, but
the absence Of both was catas-
trophic.
"We've got fine spirit" Ripley
continued. "The best since I've
been at Georgetown. Look how
they're hustling = and they've
been. going like that since we
started"
Wasn't there a chance OF over
doing it, or going stale just wnen
the squad should be at It's
freshest and best?
"No, I don't think so" the
coach replied. 1--WE open the sea-
son early next month and we've
got to be ready. After we get

Graham Goes 10 Top
In A.A Yardage Race
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The in

ors In the All-America Football Con-
ference is as close as the next step.
Because that's the margin-1 yard
by which Otto Graham of the de-
Tending champion Cleveland Browns
wrested honors from Orban Spec
Sanders of the New York Yankees
In last Sundays pro games.
Graham completed 13 out of 16
passes for 256 yards and three
touchdowns to knock Buffalo out OF
q first-place Eastern Division tie,
28-7, to give the Brownie ace total
of Ito yards on the ground and
In the air.
This shot him yard ahead OF
Sanders, who incidentally cracked
three AAC records in leading the
Yanks to their 1921 victory over
Baltimore. Sanders now has 1,70s
passing and running yards, of which
T74 were on the ground, giving him
leadership in rushing ofense.
Graham adequately upheld his
half of the two-man offensive race
with his passing proficiency. In
four games he has connected with
40 passes out of 81 for $50 yards and
six touchdowns without single in
Perception. His overall record Is
1O4 out of 164 for 1868 yards and
l3 scores with only four being
thefted, and his 63.4 per cent COM
pletion average is tops.
He combined Sunday with Mat
Speedie, league-leading end, for a
se-yard screen pass and run for a
touchdown.

the Cadet football squad prepared
to go into heavy work in prepara-

The writers acknowledged that 1t
could have been psychological war
fare, a common practice among
coaches, that prompted Green to
call the Irish "a very superior team
that makes us shake all over"
Green quoted Paul Amen, Army
scout who has seen four Notre

This is the best Notre Dame team
he has ever secuted.

by taking a unanimous decision in

A good majority of the slim crowd
turning out in the rain also felt
that Williams looked better than
Johnny Bratton, another high
ranker, who earlier this year gave
Jones his only other 1947 setback

Jones presented an elusive target,
moving around too much for Will

he was not having one of his best

Jones could throw in the early
