Georgetown and Denver will
conclude their two-year home
and-home series when the Hoyas
visit the Pioneers Saturday after
noon. Denver will not appear on
the Georgetown schedule next
year.
The Hoyas can be assured Of a
winning season. something con-
sidered extremely unlikely when
Coach Bob -Margarita took ever,
if they beat Denver. To date they
have won four and lost three. and
conclude their season against
George Washington next Satur-
day in Griffith Stadium.
Georgetown is rated a slight
favorite over the Denver team
that has won four and lost four.
Last year the Hoyas were favored,
but were held to q 1910 tie In
Griffith Stadium. This year the
Hoyas undoubtedly will be both
cred by the altitude. and Mar
garita cannot agree with the fore
casters who have made his team
the favorite.
The Georgetown squad will
leave National Airport tomorrow
morning at $3.50 and is scheduled
to arrive in Denver at 1890.

hours en- route. The trip takes at

Red Auerbach Is back in pro

coached the Washington Caps in
their first three years Of opera

the National Basket Ball Associa-

Auerbach's signing Of a two
year contract was officially an
nounced today in Moline, ILL.,, by
Ken Kerner, executive director of
the Blackhawks.
Kerner said that Auerbach,
who resigned from the physical
education staff of Duke Univer-

bonus in excess of $4,000 over
the two-year period. He said
.Auerbach would be the highest

route from Durham, N. c., to Rock
Island. ILL.,. where he will succeed
Roger Potter, who was in his sec
ond year as coach of the Black
hawks. Potter will be retained by
the club in another capacity, Ker-
ner said.
Auerbach left the Caps last
spring after he and Uline could
not agree to terms. Uline offered
a one-year contract, which Auer-
bach turned down. Bob Feerick,
former player-captain. was signed
as player-coach of the Caps, and
Auerbach moved to Duke.

BY the Asseeiotsd Press

DETROIT. Nov. 1o.-Young
Lester FELTON, of Detroit. who is
fast becoming one of the most
controversial figures in boxing, was
back in the headlines today-this

that touched off probes by the
State Boxing Commission and po-
lice.
FELTON, returned to ring warfare
last night and wound up with q
10-round draw at Olympia Stadi-
UNI with rough Tony Pellone OF
New York.
Most of the 1857 fans and the
newspapermen thought FELTON,
had won.
Judges Johnny Webber and Lou
Jallos each called it a $3.50 fight,

emily in his best shape since early
in the season. His trick knees
aren't bothering him now. and
III the game situation calls for
it he'll be ready to add a lot of
running to his passing chores. In
fact. Andy has been able to run
for the last two weeks. But in
the mud against Lafayette it
wasn't worth trying. and last week
against Maryland it was strictly
Ia passing game.
Andy Hurt Against Duke.
It's q coincidence that Handy
Andy returns to his old-time form
for Saturdays Duke game. It was
against Duke last year that he
first showed signs of injury and
was able to play only the first
half. In short time in that game,
however, he accounted for 1l2
yards with his running and pass
ing. and another afternoon like
that this week can make it inter-
Festing for the Dukes, at least.
With Davis in shape to run and
with Fullback Al Du Goff not
troubled by injuries at all, it gives
the Colonials a one-two ground
punch. The spinners and fakes
these two indulge in adds decep-
tion to Coach Bo Rowland's single
wing attack. With speedy Charley
Jones ready to run reverses from
his wingback post the Colonials
can come up with plenty Of variety
In their ground game.
But the G. w. air arm also is
functioning nicely. Davis had
trouble completing his passes last
week. but then came along hereto
fore unnoticed Jack Tivnan to do
some fine passing. Until he di-
rected those two touchdown drives

the game on six personal fouls in

1erp Selection
OF 0fQuarterback
May Decide Tilt
Tucker, Lovine Have
Good and Bad Days;
B. U. Attack Tricky

One big decision Maryland
Coach Jim Tatum must make be-
tween now and kickoff time
against Boston University on Sat-
urday afternoon at Boston is who
will do the Terrapins' quarter
backing. Available are Joe
Tucker and Stan Lavine.
Both are talented seniors. Both
have had their good games and
poor games. It's always a guess
as to which is going to come up
with a fine afternoon Of play
selection and passing.
In the opener against Virginia
Tech. for example, Lavine was
the star. Tucker sat it out with
leg injury. and later a minor
hand hurt hampered him until
two weeks ago when he had an
excellent afternoon against South
Carolina. Tatum couldn't ask
Tor a better job than Stan did
that day. The next week. though
against George Washington, Joe
started and was only fair. La
vine was substituted and pro-
ceeded to direct a brilliant at
tack that bowled over the Colo
malls.
Much Hangs on Choice.
The quarterback is the one that
makes Tatum's split T go. so it
is doubly important that Tatum
make the right guess about who
he'll use against the dangerous
Terriers on Saturday.
The defensive setup is something
else to which Tatum must give
thought. Coach Buff Donelli is
rated by other coaches as having
one of the most deceptive attacks
in the business, and one mistake
when the Terriers have the ball
can blow a game wide open. B. u.
lines up in the T. but Donelh also
uses a split T and a winged T.,
and It's constant guessing game
as to what's coming. Maryland
scouts swear that the Terriers
don't do the same thing twice.
Wards Return Helps.
The return Of Guard Bob Ward
next to Tackle Ray Krouse is a
big help to Maryland's defense
against Harry Agganis and Com
pany. Ward missed last weeks
