St. John n's-LittIe Hoyo Deadlock
MAY CompIicate Title Situation

Until yesterday undefeated and
united Georgetown Prep loomed as
a fairly safe bet to face the inter-
high grid titlist in the city cham
pionship game December 4, but the
picture is quite different today fol-
lowing scoreless tie between ST.
Johns and the highly favored Little
Hoyas yesterday at Central Sta
oium.
st. Johns, which also stalemated
interhigh favorite Central two weeks
ago and Georgetown Prep both still
must face an in-and-out Gonzaga
team. Should each defeat Gonzaga,
they would be tied for the prep
crown. A playoff can be effected
only If the city championship clash
can be delayed a week, inasmuch
as st. Johns doesn't play Gonzaga
until November 28, whereas George
town Prep meets the Purple on
November 10.
Very much the underdog against

Teams Invade Dixie

Collegiate football squads from the
Washington area are invading the
South today with Maryland at South
Carolina, George Washington at The
Citadel, Gallaudet at Hampden-
Sydney, Virginia at North Carolina
State and Howard at Hampton
va). There are no games here this
afternoon.
Maryland and George Washington
are good favorites to make their
trips successful ones, but Gallaudet's
Blues figure to be- -clawed by the
Tigers, one OF the best little teams
in Virginia. Virginia's Cavaliers,
too, are underdogs to the Wolfpack,
although there is a chance they can
snap back from last weeks Princeton
licking and take this one.
Late word from Columbia, home
of the Gamecocks, Is that South
Carolina will have strengthened de-
fenses ready for the Terrapins. Re-
turning to action after missing the
last three games are Center Len
Ekimoff and Fullback Red Harrison.
These two are Coach Rex Enright's
best line hackers and they have
recovered from injuries at a time
when the Wolfpack really needs q
rugged defense.
Harrison's return also adds power
to the offense, which in recent games
has been built around Bishop Strick-
land and Steve Wadiak.
Return of previously injured play
ers also should help George Wash
ington at The Citadel. End Bill
Szanyi, Left Tackle Jim Fuela and
Blocking Back Stan Burak are avail
able after missing last weeks losing

Toney Penna, pleasant. smiling

from Cincinnati at golf tournaments
