Notre Dame Is Solid First Choice in AP Grid Poll
Lateral Loving WI.
Likely TO Please Fans
And Annoy Co|oniaIs

Washington and Lee may not be
the best football team in the world,
but the Generals figure to give the
fans their moneys worth In meet
ing George Washington Friday
night at Griffith Stadium.
George Barclay. thes former
Maryland line coach, has the Gen
erals playing the basket ball -vari-
ETY. of football. with handoffs,
shovel passes and laterals on most
OF their ground plays.
Against Virginia last Saturday
In Charlottesville. Gil Bocetti,
Gene Bennett, Frank Davidson,
Charley Holt and Ray Lester
tossed f1aShy and reckless iaterals
and gained most Of their 172 yards
rushing in this manner. The 27-7
score In Virginia's favor was fiat
tering to the Cavaliers, who barely
outplayed w. and L. y
Leister, the former Washington-
Lee High School product, scored
the Generals lone touchdown from
the 8-yard line after Bocetti later
aled to Holt, who made the line of
scr1mmage, then lateraled to
LeiSter.
With the exception of Virginia's
Bob Weir, who broke through three
or four times to nail the last man
on the lateral for a considerable
loss, Washington and Lee baffled
the Cavaliers with its backward
passing tactics.
Bocetti, promising sophomore
passer from McKeesport, Pa, gives
the Generals a threat through the
air. He completed only four out
OF ii against the Cavaliers but his
misses were close, and he didn't
have too much protection.
Lester, who lives in Arlington,
was one of Washington and Lees
standouts on defense. He also
threw couple of passes and aver
aged 1913 yards punting.
The Colonials came away from
their victory over Virginia Tech
last Saturday without additional
injuries. Tailback Andy Davis sat
out that one to fest his injured
knees and the hope is that he will
be in condition to romp before the
nome folk on Friday night. Also
rested in the Gobbler tilt were
Guard Howie Diederich and Back
Joe Kennedy. Both are expected
to be in shape by Friday night.
LEXINGTON, Oct. 1s. P)-1
Washington and Lees Generals
started preparations for Friday
nights game in Washington
against George Washington by
working on their pass maneuvers
and looking at G. WIS single wing
offense yesterday.
X-rays show that Halfback Jim
Gallivan played most of last week S
game against Virginia with a
broken hand. Other ailing mem
bers of the squad are Ray Lester,
Frank Davidson, Jim Stark, Jack
Crawford. Herb Miller and Vic
Marler.

Hoyas 10 Win by Close
Score Or Lose by Big
One, Says Margarita

Coach Bob Margarita's predic-
ton about Georgetown's football
game at Boston College on Friday
night is that either the Hoyas will
win by very small margin or the
Eagles will win by big score.
Il don't think we'll lose a tight
ball game. but if things start pop
ping we'll be in for it," he said.
The, Hoyas will leave by train On
Wednesday night, giving them only
two more days of real workouts
here to get ready for the Eagles.
With Coach Margarita and his
staff it's developed into a guessing
game about the kind of offense
Coach Denney Meyers will use.
For their first three games, the
Eagles primarily we've a passing
team. That was some solace to
the Hoyas because their pass de-
fense is rather adequate ana then
some.
But last week against Mississippi
the Eagles came up with an ex-
cellent ground game. George
towns defense against that sort of
attack has cracked occasionally
this season and it is very possible
they'll see a lot of running plays
in Boston on Friday night.
B. C.'s record shows losses to
Oklahoma and Penn State, a 1877
triumph over Wake Forest to COM
pare with Georgetown's 1876 over
the same, plus last weeks 25-25
deadlock with Ole Miss.
The Hoyas figure it's time they
broke the Boston College jinx.
Not since 1880, when they took a
20-l9 game, have the Hoyas topped
the Eagles, although there've been
a number of close ones since while
the Eagles were running up a
string OF eight victories. Last
year Boston College won, 1877.

Whelchel, erasing the entire

down the chalk with an air of

The Redskins. bluptly. are
stumped for a defense that will
stop the mighty Steve Van Buren's S

will bottle up speedy Bosh
Pritchard and throttle Tommy
Thompson's passes at Philadel-
phia Sunday. Thus far, the staff
