ring to judge the six contenders
for best in show at the 564-dog
show of the Rock Greek Kennel
Club, held at Rockville, Md, yes
terpay, she faced several previous
best in show winners as well as
several new aspirants for the
honor. Her final choice was the

but the Midshipmen were out of
contention before the first half
ended. They made far too many
mistakes to cope with a good, alert
team.
1--WE just didn't have it Satur-
day." moaned Coach George
Sauer. 1--WE weren't the same
team that beat Princeton and
Duke. Wisconsin was up for
the game; we weren't.
1--WE were outplayed defensively
in our worst game of the year by
far. When I say it was our worst
effort. I'm taking nothing from
Wisconsin. They've got a good
team"
Sauer wasn't worried much
about Quarterback Bob Zastrow's
bad day. 1T was his poorest
showing" Navy's coach con-
fessed. but every player has a
day like it. I'm chiefly worried
right now about getting Frank
Hauff and Bill Powers back into
action for Pennsylvania this
week."
Hauff. hard-driving young half
back, was forced to retire with a
bad ankle. Powers, who had suf-
fered a knee injury two weeks be-
fore in the Princeton game, at
tempted to play late in the con-
test. but he could get no drive
in his legs and was of little use.
Hauf probably will be ready for
Penn, but Powers may be side
lined for at least another week.
How does Sauer think his
young and chastened squad will
stack up against Penn? IF we
don't improve 100 per cent" he
snapped, wed better not show
up"
Later he watered down the
statement. II think we'll have q
good chance" he temporized
We'll bounce back. Only that
was an awful shock on Saturday
to have a team we'd hoped to beat
roll up 48 points on us"
One of the few bright rays at
Madison was the play of a trio of
utility backs, Vic Vine, Tony Bar

looked good, all of them," said

work out that way"
With little more than minute
of play remaining, Dunn dropped
back to pass and unwittingly
stepped behind the end zone line
for an automatic safety that gave
Randolph-Ma Macon two points and
its margin of victory.
The Cardinals first major mis-
take was lining up in single-wing
formation on the Inflated play
instead Of in punt formation. Had
Joe Dunn been back in kicking
position he would have noticed
the end line. He probably would
have loosened up the Yellow
Jackets defense and opened ter
ritory for a pass between the line
Of scrimmage and the safety man.
Failing this, he still had one more
down to punt out of danger and
preserve the tie.
Catholic u, however, should
have chalked up victory. The
42-yard touchdown pass COM
pleted by the Jackets was des-
peration play on third down and
the Cardinal secondary should
have been looking for it.

downfleld in the defensive back

Coach Bob Margarita left him in
the game for a good majority OF
the offensive plays SO Georgetown
wouldn't get that 5-yard penalty
that's charged when a punter is

eight punts. but he also did well
running and catching passes.

his ball handling isn't as polished

passing is excellent. He stays IN

His passes are accurate and easy
to handle, his receivers say. He
