better than A yards on 40 boots so
far this season. That spells lot
of trouble for the Terrapins, because
the kicking of Fred Folger of Duke
had a lot to do with their only loss
so far this year.
The Tar Heels have couple OF
fullbacks worth watching-Walt
Pupa and Hosea Rodgers. Rodgers
is listed among the injured, but he
has practiced this week and more
than likely will play. Its ends, Art
Weiner and Bob Cox, are among
the best, particularly at sharing
passes. And the line IS just good
and solid all the way across.
North Carolina will be favored
by about two touchdowns, but 1t
will have its hands full with some
Of those Maryland players. Gam
bino particularly is a threat, but
even If he's stopped Maryland still
can roll with such ball toters as
Harry Bonk, Johnny Idzik and Ver-
non Siebert. And there's tncreas-
ing suspicion that Hubble Werner,
an early-season halfback break
away runner who has missed four
games with injuries, is ready for
this one.
The Terp passing game also must
be watched, with Quarterback Vic
Turyn doing most of the tossing.
His replacement, Joe Tucker, also
is a passing threat and, if any
thing, is a shade better at throw
ing the long ones. Their favorite
target, End George Simler, Is ready
for action tomorrow after missing
the last two games.
There are a couple Of casualties
in the Maryland camp that may
hurt. Center Gene Kinney injured

and while it isn't as bad as at first
feared he still may not be able to
play all the way. Tackle Wilbur

Hoyas After Revenge
For Bad as Beating
In Vi||anoya Game
By MerreII WhittIesey
Star staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA. -
GEORGETOWN is carrying poignant
memories of last years game into
tonights scrap with the Villanova
Wildcats, memories of one Of the
toughest college contests of the sea-
son, so don't pay too much atten-
ton to the odds that make Villa
nova a favorite by from one to two
touchdowRs.
The wildcats won here in 1916
after three Georgetown quarter
backs were carried off the field on
stretchers, several other players
hobbled off under their own power
and others made appointments in
lot numbers for the Georgetown
Dental School.
The Hoyas, who lost the game,
1872, couldn't figure what provoked
the rough stuff by Villanova, but
this virtually is the same George
town team, and to say they've been
looking forward to this one is an
understatement.
A crowd of between 10000 and
25O00 is expected in Shibe Park
on cold, clear night. Villanova
also wants to win this one badly
as Coach Jordan Olivar's club has
.a December s date with Kentucky
in the Great Lakes Bowl and the
Cats would like, to come up to that
game with only two defeats-pre
Viously inflicted by Army and Bos-
ton College by two and one touch
down margins.
The Wildcats stress q running
game and have an excellent pass
defense, ranked tenth in the Nation.
Their best backs are Bob Polidor,
a speedy punt return specialist; Joe
Rogers, Al Schmid, who handles
the kicking; Andy Gordon and Full
backs Ralph Pasquariello or Tom
Clavin.
Coach Jack Hagerty of the Hoyas
is depending on a lot Of that go
back home and show 'em what you
can do" spirit. Three ex-Philadel-
phia schoolboy stars, Fran Desmond
at right end, Tom Dolan at left
tackle and Tommy Graham at left
half, will start for Georgetown.
Dolan played for the Villanova
coach in high school.
Philadelphians With G. U.
Other Philadelphians on the 40
man Georgetown squad are Backs
Jack O'Connor and John McTam-
ney. Tackles Jerry Kane and Andy
Roman, End Bill Resch and Guard
John Conboy.
Villanova has been working against
the Georgetown spread and Hagerty
will not disappoint them. Babe
Baranowski will be directing the
spread formation from the quarter
back spot on the starting team, with
Elmer Raba standing by.
Pre-game activities have included
the most extensive campus raldlng,
leafiet dropping and head shaving
activities of the season and there S
liable to be a scrap when the
Georgetown students attempt to
sneak Villanova's captured mascot
a wildcat, into the park.
Villanova has won four and TIED
one against two defeats, while the
Hoyas are holding their own at the
500 mark.

NEW YORK, Nov 8-(NEA)-
Wanda McConville, of Rural
Route q, Lakeview, Mich,
tnows about the economic revo-
luton that has hit Americans in
Tho stomach. She has two sons,
four and eleven, and a big-eat-
no EXCL husband to feed on a
s20O-a-month income.
NEA Service, in cooperation
with her local Parent Teachers
Association, brought her to New
York to meet political figures,
~educators, economists and other
tpv persons in the food price
nicture. Until then she didn't
know that she was part of the
economic revolution affecting
o~ational politics, American for
piqn policy and the struggle be-
ween private enterprise and
Communism.
NEA Service selected Mrs.
McConville because the food
nroblems and budget headaches
she faces today are just like
those in millions of other low-in-
come American homes.
She graduated from Bat
tle Creek high school, got mar
ried. When war came, she fol-
lowed her soldier husband, John
ali over the United States,
taking along her baby, until
John sailed overseas. When he
returned, they bought a house
m his CT loan. They have a
small vegetable garden. She
does all her own work, washes
with a ~1O-year-old washing ma
chine. cooks all the meals, IN
Guiding luncheon every day for
her husband, who works in a
factory three miles away. She
does her own nails and can't
afford professional hair-do's.
She tries to DO her part IN
community activities. She is
grade mother in her eldest sons
grammar school, active in P-TA
work, and helped her husband
in his recent pledge campaign
for their church. They raised
$500 in three days.
The looming food price spiral
which is changing the Ameri-
can standard of living leaves
the McConvilles practically no
money for recreation. They
can't ask people in for dinner.
They rarely can get to a movie.

master of ceremonies instead OF
an announcer.

occasional announcer gets a
chance to get out of that rut, it
isn't the usual thing" Elliot ex-
planned. 81 thought I'd have a
better chance if I made New

besides just another an
