|Howkins Rejoins
Navy Grid Team,
| But as Visitor
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 27.-It
would. have been nicer week ago,
nonetheless Navy Coach George
Sauer had a welcome visitor on
Farragut Field yesterday.
Fullback Bill Hawkins. who has
been convalescing in a hospital bed
for two weeks, strolled out to watch
the Midshipmen practice for their
tussle with Notre Dame in Balti-
more Saturday.
The Richmond Va.0 200-pounder
said he felt much better after bat
tling a throat disorder, but would
not be able to play for at least an
other week. Actually, he won't be
turned loose by the hospital for an
other day or so, and whether he
can get back in condition for the
Michigan game at Ann Arbor, No
vember 6, is uncertain.
Jim Willis. Navy's unfailing
place-kicker, also was drilling again.
Willis has been stranded with a
bad leg for almost as long as Haw-
kins, but yesterday he was booting
them between the goal posts with
monotonous regularity. He never
has missed in two seasons.
The Midshipmen practiced under
lights as Sauer put his varsity
through a strenuous offensive and
defensive routine.

hence the Pioneers are always a
threat through the air, though they
haven't clicked consistently. If Fri
day nights follows the usual pattern
of Denver games, the Pioneers may
throw as many as 80 passes. That's
in contrast to a Georgetown team
that has attempted only a total of
SO in its four games so far.
Alternating with Denver's passing
game is running attack that also
has number of threats Pavich,
who carries 202 pounds at his full
back post, has averaged 4.8 yards a
crack, and Jim Jordan and Bill
Fitchie. a pair of light, quick half
backs, are averaging better than five
yards. ~ y tz,f t.1 -@2~a =,
The Denver line will average about
100 pounds, somewhat lighter than
Georgetown's, but there is some
talent there also. The anchor is
Joe Cribari. a 18O-pounder who has
been all-conference center for two
years. He's aided nightly by Left
Guard Steve Wotek, who at 20e
pounds will be the biggest starting
player. He's built close to the ground
and is a rock on defense.
Another star lineman is Right End
Frank Ellis, an all-around, capable
player. He is the star pupil of End
Coach Bill Kerr, a former ALL
America end at Notre Dame, and
although playing his first wear at
end after being shifted from tackle
he's considered a good bet for the

lopsided score. He can't very well
ask substitutes to avoid scoring.
An explanation of Notre Danes
touchdown generosity this fall may
be that the squads strength doesn't
run as deep as usual. At any rate,
nearly all of its scoring has been
by men who have been around quite
some time.
Brennan on Doubtful List.
Meanwhile, Left Halfback Terry
Brennan was back on the doubtful
list as Notre Dame got down to hard
work for the game with Navy. He
aggravated an old knee injury in
the Iowa game Saturday.
The reports were better on other
Irish casualties.
Left Guard Bill Fisher was back
after day in the infrmary with a
cold. Left End Jim Martin missed
practice yesterday because of a
strained leg muscle but is expected
to be ready by Saturday.

0verconfidence Seen
AS Redskins Practice
For Boston Game ..

Overconfidence was Coach Turk
Edwards biggest problem today. as
the Redskins resumed drills for Sum-
days game with the Boston Yanks
at Griffith Stadium. With a team
that figures to win easily on the
strength of their Green Bay victory,
the Skins are in danger of being up
set unless they retain the form they
displayed Sunday.
The Tribe returned from Mil
waukee with a generous assortment
of bumps and bruises, but still in
good operation condition with the
lone exception of Bob Nussbaumer.
A decision on his case (torn abdom-
inal muscle) was expected today and
it's almost a foregone conclusion
he'll sit out Sundays exercises.
The Redskins again will rely on
their newly discovered running game
to bring Clipper Smiths men to
heel, but they've still got 2 couple of
surprises up their jerseys'if needed.
Sammy Baugh, for instance, could
handle the infantry and Tommy
Mont could take over the air corps,
which would confound the enemy.
The success of both operations de-
pends on the line however, and
Tiger Walton will have major task
keeping Johnny Konszewski, Mike
Roussos, ct al, at the high pitch they
displayed last Sunday.
Boston's feat of licking the Steel
ers, 1877, a couple of weeks back,
and following up with a 27-point
splurge against the Cardinals last
week is the top-of that the Skins
won't have an easy afternoon.

Denver Here Early to Work Out
On Stadium Grid forG. II. Game

The University Of Denver's foot
ball team which plays Georgetown
on Friday night at Griffith Stadium
will get in couple of workouts on
the scene of the fray. The Pioneer
squad, 36 strong, was to arrive in
Washington by airplane early this
afternoon, and drill was scheduled
at Griffith Stadium before the team
checks in at the Ambassador Hotel
Another workout is set for the
stadium tomorrow.
Although their record this year
isn't fancy, the Pioneers expect to
give Georgetown a good battle, par
ticularly if its passing game clicks
as it has done occasionally. Denver
is T formation team. but oddly
enough its No. l quarterback, Jack
Girtin, isn't particularly talented as
an aerial artist. He's an excellent
strategist, though, and gives the
team confidence.
Coach Johnny Baker-who Incl
dentally is no relation to Johnny
Baker, the former George Washing
ton U. player and coach-has a set
up in which Halfback John Parise
and Fullback Andy Pavich do much
of the passing. Howard Benham,
another halfback, probably is the
best marksman on the team, but
is injured. He has been out for
practice. though, and might play
Friday.
Quarterbacks Lou Rillos and Mar
vim Jussel who spell Girtin are better
passers than the No. quarterback,

Southworth of Braves
Second in Poll by A. P;

BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. william
Adam Billy Meyer today was
voted the manager of the year"
in a Nation wide poll conducted by
the Associated Press.
The 56-year-old freshman pilot
Of the Pittsburgh Pirates nosed out
Billy Southworth, leader of the Ma
tional League champion Boston
Braves in a neck-and-neck race.
Meyer received 80 votes to 81 for
the veteran World Series cam
paigner.
In all. 22O baseball experts took
part in the voting. Besides Meyer
and Southworth, Lou Boudreau, Joe
Mccarthy, Burt Shotton, Steve
O'Neill, Bucky Harris and Connie
Mack received scattered support.
Boudreau, who piloted the Cleve-
land Indians to their first American
League pennant in % years, and
then led them to the world cham
pionship, ranked third with 20 votes.
Mccarthy, whose Boston Red Sox
bowed to the Indians in an unpre-
cedented playoff for the flag, was
fourth with 10 votes.
Harris, released manager of the
New York Yankees, was selected as
the No. pilot by three experts. The
others each got one vote.
Meyer received the No. / rating
because of the outstanding job he
did in leading the Pirates to a
fourth-place finish after having
them in flag contention until the
final two weeks of the season. He
took over a club that finished in a
tie for the cellar last year with the
Philadelphia Phils.
Meyer has captivated the custom
ers and players alike with his
smooth way of handling men and
his keen knowledge of every trick
in the game. The Pirate fans, espe-
cially, fell in love with this ruddy-
faced native of Knoxville, Tenn,
who looks like younger edition Of
Honus Wagner. A Pittsburgh rec
ord attendance of nearly 100000
fans came out to see the suddenly
revivified Bucs last season.
They appreciated the fact that
he took practically the same cellar
dwelling team of 1947 and almost
pulled the miracle of all miracles
last season-the jump from last to
first.

never a great ball player. He was

The University of Miami, Mary
lands sixth football foe in Friday
nights game in the Orange Bowl,
will be its second toughest to date,
according to Flucie Stewart, who
has had the not unpleasant task Of
scouting the Hurricanes twice in
Miami and once in Detroit.
Coach Jim Tatum did not send
scouts to Miami,s debut under ex-
Army assistant Andy Gustafson
when the Hurricanes beat Rollins,
25-6. But Stewart was on hand
when Florida's comparative new
conner to big-time football lost,
1910, to Villanova after leading
100 for three periods Flucie was in
Detroit when Miami upset the
Titans, 60, and ne went back to
Miami last week to watch them
lose, 1921, to Georgia.
Fridays engagement will be
Maryland's first in football with the
Hurricanes and it probably will be
watched by the largest crowd ever
to see a University of Maryland
eleven in action, possibly $4,000, in
the double-decked 60,O00-capacity
stadium.
Gustafson Does Okay as Coach.
Gustafson, a former Pitt grid
great, took to Miami the T-forma-
ton and the offensive and defensive
team system used by his. ex-boss,
Earl Blaik at Army. He inherited
about half of last years squad that
won only two and tied one in a mur-
derous 10 garIeuS61edule, and a few
freshmen from y yearling team that
won three out of five. The Hurri-
canes defeated George Washington
last year, 28-7.
To date Gustafson's job has been
satisfactory but, like Maryland,
Miami has the toughest portion of
its schedule coming up. Cincinnati,
Chattanooga, Florida, Kentucky and
Vanderbilt follow the Terps.
Stewart said the Hurricanes are
fast, particularly AL Hudson, who
ran 81 yards for a touchdown
against Georgia last week. He's the
same youngster who beat Holy Cross
in the Orange Bowl game three
years ago with an 89-yard dash with
an intercepted pass in the last min
ute of play.
Apprehensive Over Heat.
Maryland probably will miss see
ing Miami's best back, Bob (Whitey)
Campbell, who received torn hga-
ments against Villanova and still is
10 days away from action. Harry
Ghaul, one of the Nations top
punters, who also kicks off and
has booted At extra points in four
years at Miami, is nursing shoul-
der injury, but probably will be
able to assume his kicking duties,
at least.
Both Tatum and Stewart are a
bit concerned about the heat, but

NEWMARKET, England, Oct. 27.
I-Sterope, 25-to-1 shot, captured
the Cambridgeshire Stakes by half
a length today, surviving a foul claim
to win $500 900 in bets for his owner.
Royal Tara, a 5-year-old carrying
top weight of 126 pounds, was second
by two lengths in the 9-furlong gal
Ilop. The French-bred Patchouly, a
40-to-1 shot, and the well-backed

his rider, Jack Carson, disclosed he
had been given a sweepstakes ticket
which stood to earn of $4,000 ($40,-

start of the racing, and later the
Duke of Norfolk. the senior steward,
said: I'VE informed Carson that in
the circumstances we would not al
low him to ride Brink"
Foul Claim Quickly Rejected.
In addition to Brink, Red Brae
and Red Gauntlet did not start.
Both Royal Tara and Impeccable
started at odds of 100 to 8. Spe-
cialty, the 5-to-1 favorite, finished
18th.
Charley Smirke, who rode Royal
Tara, objected to Sterope's triumph,
charging that he crowded. The OBJ
lection was overruled quickly by
the stewards.
The race, coupled with the
Cesarewitch Stakes in Britain's big
autumn betting double" also served
as the basis for prizes in the Irish
Hospital Sweepstakes.
Thirty-two horses started in the
race, one Of the biggest gambling

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 27.-
The football Irish Of the University
Of Notre Dame developed an ab-
normal streak of generosity this
season-intentional or not.
The thought may give some COM
fort to Navy at Baltimore Saturday.
Coach Frank Leahy's clad
battlers this fall have added five
links in chain of % games without
defeat.
They have scored 165 points in
the process, comparing favorably
with 141 they collected in their first
five games last season, and 1T in
the first five contests of 1916. At
the same time they have given up
the unheard-of total of SO points.
Leahy's 1947 team allowed its first
five opponents only 13 points among
them. The 1916 Irish yielded three
.touchdowns in their first five games.

Notre Dame this fall blanked
Pittsburgh, 400, after being given

CoIonia|s, Underdogs
Against Lafayette,
To Rest Cfipp|es

Some of the most battered of
George Washington us football
players will be rested this week
when the underdog Colonials tackle
high-scoring Lafayette Saturday at
Easton, Pa. Coach Bo Rowland has
reached the point where he can't
afford to risk serious injury by
using partly disabled players.
Players who haven't been used
much in games so far will see lot
of action Saturday. In this group
are Joe Buell.. tailback who showed
fairly we'll late in the Maryland
game last week, and Joe Bernot,
fullback. Due for more playing on
offense is Bill Spangler, who until
now has been used mostly as a
punter and defensive back He will
give Stan Burak a rest in the block
ing back post. Burak has been play
ing close to so minutes a game so
far, and also has a damaged leg.
Also earning rest is Jim Feula,
starting left tackle, who is bothered
by an old leg injury. His usual re-
placement, Clarence Dreyer, has a
banged knee and is on the doubtful
list, and plenty of juggling will be
necessary to fill that spot. Coach
Rowland's tentative plans are to
shift Harvey Shipman, biggest of his
regular linemen, to left tackle and
to use Johnny Grinnell, normally a
center, in Shipman's right tackle
spot.
More shifts may be made later
today and tomorrow as the Colon
ials finish their drills before de-
parting Friday morning. OF the
less than 20 players who have been
doing the bulk of playing for George
Washington, only Wingback Jimmy
Kline is in condition.
