I wish to thank NJ M. H. for
her nice list Of titles Of books on
tray painting, ETC., and hope other
titles will be sefit In. as others are
interested also. Am being given
for birthday a beautiful book
called Pennsylvania Folk Art" by
John J. Stoudt, published by
Schlechters, Allentown. Pa. There
will be 1000 copies only. One Of
the magazines stated that what
this country needed was revival
Of the old-time proverbs. so I am
sending some from memory. and
hope that others will add to the
collection. My ancestry was most
ly English, with a little Scotch
Irish, so most Of these proverbs
are English. 1t would be nice II
the country from which proverb
came could be given.
Many have to do with thrift
and industry.
Waste not. want not"
Haste makes waste"
"A woman can throw out the
window with q tablespoon more
than a man can bring in the door
with a shovel"
Early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy
and wise"
1T is the early bird which
catches the worm"
lScotch) Many a mickle makes
a muckle." (Or the other way
round, as I see the dictionary says
mickle means much and
'muckle" means a club for killing
fish.)
If wishes were riches beggars
would ride"
IF turnips were watches I'd
wear one by my side"
Most Of these are warnings:
Hell is paved with good inten-
tions."
Experience keeps dear school
but fools will learn in no other"
It's always darkest before

Look before you leap"
Don't jump from the frying

''All that glitters is not gold"
Little pitchers have big ears"
'You can't make q silk purse
out of a sow's ear"
THE gray mare is the better OF

"A new broom sweeps clean"
An English saying, but don't
think It's q proverb, although II
may be: "It's q strange world
and few get out of it alive" tNote
Three did, Jesus. Enoch and
Elijah.
Here's a Lithuanian one. calcu-
lated to make most Of us take

Air Game Best forG. Nv. Against
MARYLAND, Statistics Indicate

National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau statistics hint that George
Washington should try a passing
game against Maryland in Satur-
days clash at College Park. Old
Line defenses against ground
game are second only to Okla
homa's according to these fig
ures, with the opposition so far
able to gain only 69.8 yards a
game.
In total offense the Terrapips
also rate second best among ma
jor colleges (Wyoming is tops)
with opponents having gained
only 1868 yards a game by all
methods. But Of the two attacks.
passing seems to be the best way
to move against Maryland.
G. w. Coach Bo Rowland In
dicates he's going to try every
thing on Saturday. "It's a nat
ural rivalry and we're going to
shoot the works." he said yester-
day. Everybody who is able to
play is going to play. We're

Davis. Andy has been troubled by

show up and play a bangup game
then.
G. WIS other main threat is
Fullback AL Du Gof, the Southern
Conference touchdown leader with
eight touchdowns so far. It will
be an interesting afternoon to see
him tested by Maryland's stalwart
defensive line. The TerpS' line
will be hurt by the loss of Guard

last week and will not play against

an easy touchdown. Virginia was
unbeaten at the time, but every
body said Penn would murder the
Cavaliers. and after the opening
drive it appeared that the Quakers
would. But Virginia got tough
and stopped Penn the next time
it held the ball. For the remainder
of the first half the Cavaliers
dominated play and came out Of
the half with a TT tie. Penn had
more depth and wore Virginia

AS he explains n, a mistake on
offense doesn's hurt half as much
as one on defense. His starting
backfield offense on Saturday
likely will be Joe Tucker at quar-
terback and Bob Roulette at full
back, both seniors, and Lynn Davis
and Moe ModzeleWski. both soph-
omores. at halfback. Requirements
for these would be two other
sophs. Buck Early and Bob She
monski, with Earl Roth, a senior,
in to do the kicking.
Defensively the Terps probably
will line up with Jim Brasher and
Jake Rowden backing up the line
and with Vern Seibert, Jim La Rue
and Johnny Idzik in the other
backfield spots. All are old hands.

Georgetown Crippled For Homecoming Battle
Virginia Seen Dangerous
Underdog Against Penn
By MerreII WhittIesey

The University of Virginia,
probably the most unsung and
least respected of the Nations
major unbeaten teams, is an un-
derdog by from IA to 20 points
against Penn Saturday. but that
doesn't disturb Coach Art Guepe.
Even though we are unbeaten
we haven't played any teams of
PENIS caliber and must expect to
be the underdogs." Guepe said
today by telephone from Char
lottesville. However. Guepe thinks
the Cavaliers can beat the Quak-
ers if Virginia has real good day
on offense and sharpens up its
secondary defense.
There's not much of a precedent
for a Virginia triumph on Satur-
day in Franklin Field. Recent
Cavalier excursions north of Char
flottesville have been somewhat
disastrous. Virginia lost to Penn,
46-0, in 1916 and 1877 in AT. Last
year Princeton whacked the Cava-
liers, 55-14.
Virginia Has Improved.
But this unbeaten Virginia
eleven is better than the others.
Guepe will tell you. The Cava-
liers have the Nations leading
ground gamer in Johnny Papit,
they have an experienced and
capable senior T-formation quar-
terback in Whitley Michaels. a bet
ter line than Virginia teams of the
last few years and a better atti-
tude.
Opposing scouts have been say
| ing that Virginia hasn't much OF
a defense. Only v. P. I. was score
less against the Cavaliers and
four of their six opponents have
scored at least two touchdowns.
A great deal of this has been the
fault of inadequate work by the
line hackers, and this is the de-
partment that is Guepe's principal
concern.
It's no secret that Papit is at
least so per cent of Virginia's S
ofense. In six games the native
Philadelphian has gained 986
yards individually. scored eight
touchdowns and set up at least as
many more.
The last time Papit played in
Franklin Field was two years ago.
Given the ball on Penn's 6-yard
line in the first quarter he fum-
bled on the play and stalled a
Cavalier drive. That was his first
appearance there since he scored
three touchdowns and passed to
another for Northeast High School
in q Philadelphia championship
game.
Papit is too good a runner for
Penn or anybody else to stop cold,
but II Virginia Is going to upset
the Quakers Johnny must have
one Of his better days.
Surprised Quakers in ~.
Virginia came out of its 1947
Penn game with its head high.
The Quakers took the ball follow
ing the kickoff and marched to
