ponents have tossed 122, and COM

Both teams have individual stand

third best. The gamboling halfback
has racked up ITO yards in 108

Watch Dale Leathery Friday

Coach Jan Jankowski. Leathery
will be playing his last game in a

meet Tech at Griffith Stadium for

playing his top-notch ball game.
"Leathery looked terrific during
practice sessions before the season
opened" recalled Jan, "but he didn't
even get to play the first game. A
blood clot resulting from a charley
horse kept him out of six straight
ball games. He came back in for the

Gaps, Facing St. Louis, to Shift
Players Until They End Slump

Coach Red Auerbach intends to
substitute freely in an effort to keep
a fresh and fast team on the floor
tonight as the Washington Capitols
pro basket ball team attempts to
get out of its slump at the expense
of the St. Louis Bombers. They'll
tangle at $3.50 at Uline Arena in the
Caps last home game for a two
week period.
The Bombers, who defeated the
Caps, 1852, last Saturday night in
st. Louis, will include Francis
Buddy) O'Grady in their lineup
tonight. O'Grady, one-time George
town U. captain, was with the Caps
last year. He was released to the
Bombers on trial recently and given
permanent status after his showing
in last Saturdays game.
Coach Auerbach indicates he's
ready to shuttle the lineup until he
gets a winning combination. The
Caps are in a slump, which he hopes
isn't permanent, but they've dropped
four Of their six starts this season
and repose in the Basket Ball As
sociation of Americas Western Divi-
sion cellar.
Dick O'Keefe, 6-foot 2-inch for
mer Santa Clara guard and for
ward, set a terrific pace against
the Bombers Saturday, and will see
plenty of action tonight. The youth
full coast ace is entering a strong
bid for a starting berth, and will be
given his chance If he continues to

Maryland's scoring punch, which
has ranged from adequate to excel
lent this season, runs into something
extra tough this Saturday in the
windup football game against North
Carolina State at College Park. Of
f1cial statistics show the Wolfpack to
be one of the country's best de-
fensive outfits. 1t rates as fourth
best this week on the National Col
legiate Athletic Bureau chart,
headed only by Penn State. William
and Mary, and Georgia Tech.
Opponents have averaged only 159
yards a game against the Wolfpack,
which Is quite a bit less than the
Old Liners have been in the habit
of getting. Maryland, in fact, has
earned an edge, usually big one, in
the statistics over every one it's met
this season except North Carolina.
Results Of this low yardage allowed
by N. G. State Is shown in the scor-
ing column. Only 81 points have
been registered against it and Al OF
those were by their ancient rival,
N. c. U. Duke got a touchdown,
Florida one, and Virginia came away
with a safety, while four other op-
ponents drew blanks.
Maryland has had an edge in pass
defense over every team it's met so
far this season, but such won't be
the case on Saturday. The Old
