Penn'S victory last Saturday
in Philadelphia was the worst
beating suffered by Navy this
season. Wisconsin scored more
points the previous week, to be
sure. but intercepted passes
and recovered fumbles helped
the Badgers. Penn over
whelmed Navy legitimately.
There's some question as to
PENIS power. despite its un-
marred record. Against Navy,
Coach George Munger's team
seemed adequate. Yet Penn
barely nosed out Princeton, IA
13. whereas Navy handled the
Tigers with ease. But, for that
matter. which way is Navy 60
ing? Up or down?
The Midshipmen were i'm
pressive, if beaten, in their
opener against Southern Cali
fornia. Promise of better days
seemed unmistakable when the
Sailors whipped Princeton and
Duke. But in the Wisconsin
game they sloughed off and
Saturday they slid back even
more.
Navy never got untracked.
With less than five minutes of
the third quarter played, the
Midshipmen trailed by 21-0.
They finally scored early in the
final period, with substitutes in
the backf1eld, but Penn got
that touchdown back in nine
minutes and thus the score re-
manned, 28-7.
Navy's chances this Satur-
day against Notre Dame in
Baltimore virtually are nil.
Name your own score, although
the Irish never make it a prac-
tice to pour it onto Navy. But
whereas the Middies are young,
inexperienced, comparatively
light and undoubtedly tired.
Notre Dame is headed toward
another mythical national
championship and. further
more. is rested after an easy
engagement with Open Date.
To Navy supporters, who'd
hoped this was the year in
which the Academy would take
its place among the Eastern
powers. patience is recon-
mended. Barring a miracle,
Navy can hope for no more
than, three yictories-two of
which have been won. If the
Middies do better, they ought
to replace the statue of Te-
cumseh with one of Sauer.

bench the entire second period.
But the buzzing in his head
soon ceased. It was recov-
cry much too rapid for the Key
diets, who had staged a COM
mendable comeback to tie the
score at 1913 in the third pc
riod after Virginia had pro-
duced two quick touchdowns
the first two times it handled
the leather.
v. M. rs notion of smearing
Virginia's unblemished record
vanished three plays after the
Keydets locked the game and
it was Papit who brought a
sudden end to upset ideas fon-
dly nursed by v. M. I.
Johnny took the Keydets'
kickoff on Virginia's l and
stormed 49 yards to midfield.
On the next play the Cavaliers
were penalized back to their
As, but Papit then crashed
through right tackle, reversed
his field and sprinted to the
touchdown that crumpled the
wearying Keydets.
Held to four yards on the
two occasions he carried the
ball in the first half, Papit thus
covered 104 yards in two tries.
In the IA times he took of
from scrimmage. Papit aver
aged better than IL yards, COW
ering 157 yards. It was his 43-
yard sprint to v. M. rs %
early in the fourth period
which set up Virginia's fourth
touchdown and completely
crushed the fast-fading hopes
of the Keydets.
Papit was wonderful, but Vir-
ginia wasn't. The Cavaliers
apparently lose interest in
Johnny once they break him
past the line, giving him what
amounts to no downf1eld block
ing. Virginia may notch its
sixth successive triumph this
week against West Virginia,
but must display marked i'm
provement to cope with Penn
sylvania, Tulane and North
Carolina in the stretch.
Virginia's pass defense, rid
died for 13 competitions in 81
attempts. yielded 200 yards to
thrice-whipped v. NJ. I. The
Cavaliers particularly were
vulnerable against the Keydets'
screen passes and it comes as
little comfort to Virginia that
it held v. M. I. to a net z yards
rushing. With that weak Vir-
ginia pass defense the Keydets
were more interested in throw
ing and with that method of at
tack they made more of a con-
test Of it than the final score
would indicate.

athletic policy as c. u. and
doesn't even charge admission
to its home games, comes up
with such an array of talent
while the Brooklanders have
practically none.
Bill Poms' injury early in the
game hurt Catholics cause last
Saturday. The scrappy guard
made almost two-thirds of the
tackles against Randolph
Macon and was going strong
against the Jays whensinjured.
Poms might have saved C. U.
a couple of scores, or STAYED 'em
off for a spell, because three
Hopkins touchdowns were
scored on long runs of 56, Al
and A yards after the ball car
riers picked their way through
holes in the line.
Another notable difference
was that c. U. lacked the
breakaway runner who might
have gone all the way. Several
times Bill Holl and Bucky En-
mis- found holes in the line, but
were nailed by line-backers.
The extra step, a split-second
Of speed that might have sent
them on their way, was lacking.
On the debit side of the
ledger, the Cardinal forwards
didn't charge and couldn't an
noy Hopkins passers, nor were
they able to protect their own
passers. They didn't get their
shoulders into their tackles,
whereas Hopkins hit with a
"whump" that could be heard
all over the stadium.
An accurate toss on a couple
OF screen passes, which were
set up nicely, would have given
the Cardinals plenty of yard
age and probably a touchdown,
but once again Coach Jan jan
kowski had no Sammy Baugh
to send into the game. He did
discover, however, that Jimmy
Bosilevas. a rookie, may fill
the bill eventually. The young
ster was calm and strong
armed and with a mite more
protection could have done con-
siderable damage. Ed Boegel
also played a bang-up game in
the backfield. ATCHISON.

along, but emphasized it after
Krouse's play in Maryland's
slim win over the Wolfpack.
Krouse. Bob Ward. Lynn
Davis, Dave Cianelli and Elmer
Wingate stood out for the
Terps, but collectively the
Terps were no world beaters
against North Carolina State.
This department already has
been criticized for being rough
on the Terps in Sundays re-
port. but if Maryland looked
good on Saturday I'm turning
in my Football Writers card.
The Terps were sluggish,
listless and outplayed by a
team that was losing its eighth
straight game. Some Maryland
rooters were saying what a
great team N. C. State had.
Good teams don't lost eight
straight games. Tatum said
Maryland was lucky, very
lucky" to win. He was right.
It's doubtful that any win
ming team in the country Sat-
urday had the ball fewer times
in one half than Maryland did
in the second half against
State. The Terps handled the
ball exactly five times in the
third quarter and hardly
worked their way out OF their
own shadow in the fourth. It
appears that Tatum, in trying
to be a nice guy and build for
the future, almost cost his team
a game by shutting his sched-
ule for North Carolina Uni
versity's sake. That left Mary
land with an open date on
October Is, and it showed the
effect of the layoff.
And would you look at what's
happening to Maryland's sup
posedly soft" schedule from
here in? South Carolina, next
Saturdays homecoming oppo-
nent at College Park, upset
Clemson, 27-13, a startling
triumph for the Gamecocks.
George Washington won its
second straight by beating
Washington and Lee. 21-19,
and. encouraged by the vic
tory, Coach Bo Rowland of the
Colonials personally secuted
the Terps.
Boston University used it's
first team less than a half in
swamping New York o., $50.
They say this Boston U. team
Is terrific, with the greatest
sophomore talent in New Eng
land. West Virginia ran up
Al points again a Quantico
Marine team that had beaten
three college opponents, and
Miami, Florida, upset Georgia
and. according to Maryland
scouts. outplayed the Bulldogs.
There should be no more over
confidence for the Terps.

|Cooper-Titone Rerun
Tonight Is Regarded
Boxing Natural

To attract more customers to
Turner's Arena boxing matches,
at which attendance has sagged
this season, Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez puts on a f1ght tonight
that the fans know will be worth
watching as they've seen it before.
It's a rerun Of the Jimmy Coop
er-Charley Titone battle Of Octo-
ber 8, which was won by Cooper
with split decision.
That bout had the best crowd
this fall, slightly more than 1000
coming out on O. night when the
Turner interests were competing
against the Joe Louis exhibition
at Griffith Stadium. Tonight with
no competition Menendez thinks
he'll have a full house of about
1000 customers.
Cooper is the fast and hard
hitting District featherweight
champion, while Titone is a
rugged italian from Brooklyn. In
about so pro battles Titone has
lost only five by decision and
never has been knocked eff his
feet. Cooper came as close as
any one N the last round of their
previous battle when he put on .
furious late rally to overcome the
point lead Titone had earned by
the end of the ninth. He had the
visiting rlittman somewhat groggy
and it made enough difference in
Coope~'s favor for a narrow split
decision.
Titone thought he had won and
so did fair number of the GUS
toners, so the rematch is a nat
ural.'
Cooper in his best fight before
the Titone engagement this sea-
son outpointed World Bantam
Champion Manuel Ortiz. That
earned him shot at the title ear
ly next summer provided he MAIN
tains a fair record the remainder
of the indoor season.
Pat Thomas, former Golden
Glover who has won seven straight
since turning professional, will

Redskins, Like Bough's Son, Nap
In BoImy Philadelphia Weather

1t was such warm, sunny
day in Philadelphia yesterday that
6-year-old David Baugh, seeing his
famous daddy play football for the
second time, dozed off and slept
throughout the frs half of the
Redskin- Eagle game. So did most

broadcast of the game. Red told
Joe he was the best spotter the
old Galloping Ghost ever had.
"Only I think he told Ed Quirk
(Redskin fullback) the same thing
last week in Washington" COM
mented Joe.
P. S. Ed said no.
No one could recall the last time
Baugh was held to four completed
passes in one game. But the
Singer can fall back on his ball
carrying reputation if he begins
to slip in passing. He's carrying
for an average of 1856 yards as
a runner, having gained 80 yards
in three plays.
Second-best running back on
the Tribe is that other passer,
Harry Gilmer, who has reeled off
145 yards on 16 trips for 9.06
average. Bob Goode went ahead
of the pack yesterday In total
yards gained with 1879 yards in
81 tries. That 54-yard touch
down romp yesterday helped.
Howdy Dowda is next best with
1866 yards on 80 trips.

trying doubly hard to make this

Hal Crisler had an upset stom-
ach before the game, but it
couldn't keep him out of uniform.
Some teammates were feeling
much worse after the game.
Evidently Jack Ferrante, an
end, and Coach Greasy Neale of
the Eagles disagreed about Fer
rante's work on one play IN the
third period. They had quite a
discussion, complete with gestures,
after Ferrante was yanked.
Frank Reagan, the punting
star, saved the Redskins one more
touchdown by inadvertently trip
ping teammate Dick Humbert as
he was about to gather in one Of
Harry Gilmer's passes in the third
period.
Smartest play of the game was
Dan Sandifer's fair-catch signal
on Joe Muha's high punt in the
second period with just about
half the population of Phila-
delphia waiting to smear him if
he tried to run the ball. It was
a tough catch. too, with the sun
in Sandy's eyes.
Experts still are trying to ex-
plain why the Eagles dropped
four of Tommy Thompson's
passes in five plays near the end
of the second period. Most
thought the sun bothered them,
which promptly raised the ques-
ton whether Baugh was smart in
his choice of goals. Would it
have been better to make the pass
receivers look into the sun as they
turned for a pass, as. Steve Van
Buren, Ferrante and Pete Pibes
did in the above series, or better
to make the pasSer squint?

their best game OF the season
under their new mentor, ended
a 19-year drought against the
Eagles. The Boston press was
almost unanimous in acclaim
ing Margarita's team as the
best coached to play there all
season.
The drive and determination
of Margarita extended to his
players. In the first half, the
bigger Eagles were in command,
although Georgetown held a
TT tie at intermission. But in
the second half. superior con-
dition seemed to be the pay
off. The Hoyas didn't romp,
but they easily were stronger
than Boston College at the
finish.
Everything Boston College
did, Georgetown did better. The
Eagles marched u yards for a
touchdown after taking the
opening kickoff. Before the
first period was ended, George
town went rs yards to tie.
The big decision of the game
came with three minutes to
play. After driving twice with
in scoring distance and failing
after reaching the II and 8
in the third and final periods,
Georgetown got its last chance
when Center Bob Keller inter-
cepted an Eagle pass on his 80.
Young Frank Mattingly, who
hardly can miss as a coming
quarterback, passed to Bob
Noppinger once and to Dick
Losh twice to reach B. C.'s 13.
It was fourth down and four
yards to go.
Boston Colleges defense
against Mattingly's passes
seemed weak and yet the
memory of Dick Haesler's
abortive field goal attempt a
few minutes earlier from the
30-yard line was fresh in the
minds Of Margarita and his
aides. To kick or not to kick?
To pass or not to pass? Those
were the questions.
High in the press box Assist
ant Coach Bill Battles and
Athletic Director Jack Hagerty
phoned their thoughts to Mar
garita. LET the kid try again"
they suggested. Quarterback
Mattingly held up play and
looked to the Hoyas' bench.
Finally Haesler and two other
players ran onto the field. This
time Haesler's boot was 100
per cent and it was 10-7.
With four out of five, George
town is assured of at least as
many victories at the halfway
mark as it was expected to win
the whole season. The Hoyas
still have Fordham, Villanova,
Denver and George Washington
to meet, but you can get a bet
here they'll win no less than
two of these. More probably
three and, conceivably. all four.
