West Virginia Smears
". 5-6, After
Sluggish Start
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. A.
West Virginia University warmed up
in the second half after a lukewarm
start in the 8e-degree heat and
sizzled to a 35-6 victory today over
Washington and Lee before 1l,00C
spectators at Laidley Field.
The Mountaineer T spluttered and
spanked during the first quarter
until Quarterback Tom Keane found
a gaping hole on the right side and
knitted through it to 60 SO yards for
the first touchdown.
Coming back after the intermis-
sion, the mlountaineers got two
more touchdowns in the third and
a pair in the last period, the final
coming with less than IS seconds
left in the ball game.
Washington and Lee, seeking the
Generals fifth victory in the 81
year-old rivalry, scored its lone
touchdown in the final quarter by
virtue of a 47-yard run to the 4 by
Halfback Charles Harrington and
two vicious pay-of lunges by Full
back Brian Bell.
The Gold and Blue team held the
upper hand repeatedly on. the
ground, but were caught flat-footed
on a number of occasions by the
ground-eating passing attack string

Minnesota Gets Early
Lead 10 Score Over
Nebraska, 1913
By the Assoeioted Press

LINCOLN, Nebr., Oct. Anime
sofa handled Nebraska mercilessly
in the first half and the fourth Pc
riod today to crush the Huskers, "a
to 13, in a Big Nine-Big Six inter-
conference game before $4,000.
Playing with the temperature in
the high 80s, the Minnesota team
marched 68 yards from the opening
kickoff for their first touchdown in
the first period. Then in the second
period, Minnesota got another when
two pass plays covered 56 yards.
Billy Bye got the first score from
the 2-yard line and Bill Thiele the
second on a 17-yard toss.
Don Bailey kicked the points and
Minnesota went to rest with a a.
too lead over Nebraska team that
had not gained first down in the
first two periods.
With the second half, the appar-
emily crushed Nebraska outfit came
to life and handed the Gophers a
mighty scare. In the third period
Nebraska scored on two Del Wiegand
to End Ralph Damkroger passes.
Back came the Huskers with a
blocked punt recovered by Tackle
Gene Sims on the Minnesota 10, and
a 14-yard pass. Wiegand to Dam
krcger, for another score to open
the last period.
Then Minnesota turned on the
heat.
Halfback Ev Faunce went to the
Minnesota At with the kickoff and
the game settling touchdown was on
the way. The Gophers slammed
and passed down to the Nebraska
1-foot mark for first down. An
oddity came up here, the teams
swapping 5-yard penalties before
Quarterback Jim Maloski sneaked
over. Back Don Johnson got the
last score on short smash after
Besen's pass interception that bust

Texas Great Eleven,
Winner Of 4 in Row
Really 1948 Team
BY the A,soeiotsd Press

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 13-Want in
on a little secret known only to
about 100000 persons?
This University of Texas football
team that's about the hottest article
in the country right now really Is
the 1948 team.
Confusing isn't It? But the fact
of the matter is that when Blair
Cherry became head coach this year
he didn't expect to do more than
win probably more games than he
lost. He started with the intention

Loses Only Four Men.
You couldn't have convinced
Cherry or any other coach or critic
that by October Texas would be
rated with the top. three teams in
the Nation and would be consid-
cred better than last season.
Now, there are those who think
this. may be the greatest Texas
squad of all time.
Anyway, from the first three teams
Texas will lose only four men for
948-Bobby Layne and Raymond
Jones. backs: Joe Magliolo, guard,
and Max Bumgardner. end. OF
course, loss of Layne is something
to think about since he's the most
valuable player Texas has ever had!
But, despite this. Texas prospects
for 1948 and 1949 are considered
better than this season.
Four Wins in Four Starts.
Cherry has to look at the figures
to convince himself that all this
has happened to him. -Four VIC
tories in four starts for an average
Of 34.7 points per game, 1,484 yards
rushing and passing for an average
of 371 yards per game. And included
in the victims are such teams as
North Carolina and Oklahoma.
The 34-14 victory over Oklahoma
Saturday was the payoff for those
who had their doubts over Texas
and wanted to wait and see before
passing judgment. Texas has q
tough, durable team and it is made
up of opportunists. Its defense
isn't great by any means as evi-
denced by the fact that it has al
lowed 215 yards per game to its
opponents. But it has all the
weapons to get more points than
the other team.
And it's all velvet for Blair Cherry

Chicago Cards Only
Undefeated Team in
Pro Grid Leagues
By the Assoeiotad Prass

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Chicago' s
f1ag-hungry Cardinals stand alone
today as the only unbeaten major
team in professional football and
the one outfit holding undisputed
possession of a divisional lead in
either of the two big circuits-the
National League and All-America
Conference.
The roaring Red Birds, who
haven't won title since the Ma
tional loop was sectionalized in 1888
snapped their tie for the Western
Division lead with Green Bay by
downing the Packers. 14-10, yester-
day.
Meanwhile, the Washington Red
skins moved into deadlock with
the Philadelphia Eagles for the
Eastern lead by clipping the New
York Giants, while the Eagles suf-
fered 40-7 trouncing at the hands
of the Chicago Bears.
Over in junior circuit, the Los
Angeles Dons upset the Cleveland
Browns, 1910, to snap an 11-game
Brown winning streak and drop the
defending champions into a first
place Western Division tie with the
San Francisco 49ers. The 4sers
crushed the Chicago Rockets, 1928.
Yanks and Bills in Lead.
The New York Yankees and the
Buffalo Bills remained deadlocked
for the top rung in the ALI
Americas Eastern race. The Yhnks
toppled the Brooklyn Dodgers,
31-7. and the Bills nicked the
Baltimore Colts, 20-l5. :. 80 ag

The win was the Cards third
straight, while the loss was the
Packers first in three starts. The
defeat also shuttled the Packers
into second-place stalemate with
the Los Angeles Rams, who de-
feated the Detroit Lions, 27-13.
A 17-yard field goal by Ben
A2ajanian in the final three min
utes halted the Browns victory
parade before 63,124 fans at Cleve-
land. the largest turnout of the day
in either circuit.
49ers Ease Up in Fourth.
At San Francisco, the 49ers
poured it on for the first three heats,
scoring all their points before cas-
ing up in the fourth and allowing
the Rockets to score three times.
The Yankees also had a fairly easy
time in handing the Dodgers their
fifth loss in six starts at the Yankee
Stadium. Spec Sanders 53-yard
touchdown gallop and some long
jaunts by Buddy Young high lighted
the Yankee victory.
Buffalo, however. had a tough
time with the frisky Colts, who have
announced that they will protest the
game to Conference Commissioner
Jonas H. Ingram. The Colts claim
they we're prevented from scoring on
a play that was called out of bounds
on the two-yard line some seven
seconds from the end of the game.
