liner which crashed in the Azores,
is the greatest postwar boxing
attraction to come out of Europe.
A rugged individual with pow
erful punch, Cerdan first invaded
the United States late in 1916.
Two trips later, on September 81,
1948, he knocked out Tony zale
of Gary, Ind, in the 18th round
at Jersey City, N. j.. to win the
worlds middleweight title.
Jake La Motta of Detroit lifted
the crown from the Frenchman
last June II after 10 rounds at
Detroit. Cerdan had to quit be-
cause of an injured shoulder that
had made his left hand useless
from the first round.
A return bout with La Motta in
New York September % was called
off four days before the fight
when La Motta came up with a

Du Goff Is Expected
To Garry Line Attack
Against Lafayette
(Picture of1 Paue o..

| '~tSSN' - Wv = oSS WI
A line-busting duel between AL
Du Goff and Gordon Fleming is
in prospect tonight when La
fayette clashes with George Wash
ington University in G. w. us
Homecoming football game at
Griffith Stadium. Kickoff time is
at $50 pm.
Both Du Goff, one of George
Washington's stars, and Fleming
of Lafayette are fullbacks. Both
are 190-pounders and carry the
ground-gaining load for their
teams.
Tonight's game won't be wholly
a ground battle, however, because
both teams can furnish top-notch
passing with Andy Davis tossing
for G. w. and Frank Bowling
handling the aerial offense for
Lafayette.
COlOnials Are Favored.
George Washington is one
touchdown favorite to rack up
its third straight victory and it
probably will be the last time this
season that the Colonials will be
favored to win. After this, they'll
go against Maryland, Duke and
Georgetown.
Both teams for tonight's battle
have lines that will test the others
running attack.
Lafayette lost to Delaware last
week. but nevertheless presented
forward wall that was cracked
for only IL yards in ground gains.
Du Goff is expected to do bet
ter than that himself and Wing
backs Charley Jones and Jimmy
Kline, who handle the reverses
from Coach Bo Rowland's single
wing offensive, also are counted
on to pick up important yardage.
Davis also is in shape for more
running than against Washington
and Lee last week.
Both G. w. U. and Lafayette
use the two-platoon system and
on the defense against Fleming's
line cracking will be such i'm
portant linemen as Art Kojoyian
and Fred SamuelSon. Fleming
has record of 400 yards in 80
carries this season and he rates
as the country's ninth leading
ground gamer.
The visiting Leopards are
coached by Maurice (Clipper)
Smith who coached the Boston
YankS of the National Football
League. He succeeded Ivy Will
hanson who transferred to Wis
consin.
Last year in Easton, Pa. the
Leopards defeated the Colonials,

Cerdan had won all but four OF
his los fights since he turned pro-
fessional in 1885. A native OF
Algiers, he was the outstanding
French boxer since the days OF
Georges Carpenter.
Cerdan was 80 years old when
he won his worlds title. He first
came to the attention of Ameri-
can boxing interests when he wor
the inter-allied boxing tourna-
ment at Rome in 1914 while serv-

Cerdan lived on a farm near Casa
blanca.
Even before he won-and lost
his worlds title, he once said:
Il am a family man and want
to settle down"
He was bitter about the Septem-
ber fight postponement.
La Motta isn't afraid of me,
declared the Moroccan slugger
I'm sure of that, but he is afraid
to lose his money. or not to win

2-Touchdown Margin
Over South Carolina
Tomorrow Is Seen

University of Marylands foot
ball team, undefeated in Southern
Conference play this season, will
be out for a more impressive VIC
tory tomorrow than it got last week
when it defeated North Carolina
State, 14-6. The Terrapins will
tangle with South Carolina in their
Homecoming game at College Park
at 2:15 pm.
In addition to wanting to please
the old grads with another tri-
umph. the Terps also want to roll
up a good-sized score and statisti-
cal edge in answer to the critics
who didn't think to much of their
performance against North Caro-
lima State despite the victory.
Maryland is favored to win by
two touchdowns.
Maryland players and coaches
indicated this week that they were
a bit irritated by their unenthusi-
astic press notices after last weeks
game.
Offensive Is Polished.
With the Old Line rated as the
third best defensive team in the
country, much of this weeks time
has been spent in polishing Of
fensive maneuvers. National COL
legiate Athletic Bureau statistics
show that Maryland has permit
ted only an average of 1913 yards
against it per game this season.
Only Kentucky and Wyoming
show tighter defenses.
! Maryland's defense against
ground game is especially tight.
Only Oklahoma's record is better.
That means that such Gamecock
ball carriers are Bishop Strick-
land, Steve Wadiak, Chuck Prozi-
oso and Harry De Loach must be
at their best if they hope for an
upset triumph.
Good at Quarterback.
South Carolina has another
outstanding performer in Quar-
terback Bo Hagan.
Until last week Hagan just was
one of the boys. but then he be-
came an overnight sensation with
his passing and quarterback sneaks
helping nightly toward an up
set triumph over Clemson. That
game was on Thursday. incident
ally, which gave the Gamecocks
an extra two days to get ready
for Maryland.
Maryland's passing hasn't been
too potent this year, but Coach
Jim Tatum has been trying to get
Quarterback Joe Tucker to throw
more. He'll likely have instruc-
tions to try the air frequently to-
morrow as a means of keeping the
visitors loose for the running Of
such as Moe Modzelewski, Ed She
monski and Johnny Idzik.

Navy Is Only Hopeful
Of Giving Notre Dame
Fiqht Tomorrow
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. %. -
Navy is going about preparations
for another football game tomor-
row with the Nations No. l college
team-Notre Dame. And nobody
is jumping into the deep blue
Severn River in sheer desperation
There is no doubt about it,
said George Sauer. Navy's coach
that they're all tough. But on
the basis of past performances
this will be the toughest team
we've met this year.
We've got hopes, however, or
we wouldn't even be there Satur-
day"
That seems to be the general
idea of things as the Middies taper
off for their engagement at Balti-
more's Babe Ruth Stadium before
a sellout crowd of more than
$4,000.
No Illusions About Irish.
Coach Sauer is man right now
who's trying to find out what hap
pened to his young and inexperi-
enced team, which trounced both
Princeton and Duke before ab-
sorbing cruel defeats at the hands
of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
"They were hurt and it's eating
their hearts out" Sauer said
They know they can play better
than that. I've been trying to get
them mentally back on their feet
and we've been working on the
things that caused us trouble the
last two weeks"
Sauer has no illusions about
Notre Dame, a team Navy hasn t
beaten since 1914, although there
was 6-6 tie in 1945. Since the
end of that 1945 season Notre
Dame has played 80 games with
out defeat, including four lop-
sided victories this season. Last
year the Irish trimmed the Mid
dies, Alt. and Sauer has only
two regular first stringers from
that Navy eleven, Tackle Jim
Hunt and End Phil Ryan.
Powers Rejoining Navy.
II know Notre Dame has every
thing" Sauer said. They have
a line, runners, they have ball
hawks on defense"
Navy hopes to gain some ground
power by the return of Halfback
Bill Powers. who has been out
with an ankle sprain. At the
same time, however, the Middies
have lost Halfback frankie Hauff,
their leading ground gamer, also
with an ankle injury.
The game will be televised by
CHS, locally over Station WOIC,
including the pregame doings.
Play will start at 2 o'clock.
