Last year Johnny was climbing

Virginia scored one of its most

Papit lost the opposition of Notre

this seemed to be his year for
top honors. But Johnny sprained
an ankle in spring practice and
sat out the CIV game. He carried
only nine times against Penn and
II against VPI. and there went
his chances for first team honors.
Papit was in shape for Wash

ponent. and ran wild. Despite
missing one game and part-time

boosted his senior-year ground

yards in q game short of three

yards as ball carrier in Virginia.
Dudley was not playing as tough
teams, but Of course had less help,
and Dudley did everything. Papit
is used sparingly as pass-catcher,
but is a good blocker and sees
spot safety duty.
Papit has commanded atten-
ton solely because of his ability
to lug football. He doesn't have
the color of some of the country's
more highly publicized backs. He
has a lot of determination when
out with injuries and pleads to
get back in the ball game.
Coach Guepe says Johnny is
easy to work with. He's usually
first out for practice and runs
around the track voluntarily when
the others practice defense. "Just

for his hard tackling defensive

least for one more season. Only

The two upperclassmen. Capt.

Fred McManus of Lanett, Ala,
are from opposite ends of the

An interesting fact about Merola
is that he spent an entire year in

was an all-city lineman in Newark
in 1943 and 1914 and both Dart

back to school and by this time
he had been forgotten.
Mike enrolled at Georgia but
the main campus in Athens was so
crowded that he was sent to the
university branch at Savannah

WEST POINT. N. Y, Nov. 2s.-
Although Army's football sched-
ule-makers have been criticized
this season for soft" slate that
enabled the Cadets to pile up an
Impressive record without expend-
ing too much energy. Coach Earl
Blaik can't see 1t that way. And
to refute such criticisms. Blaik
pointed to a 10-game schedule for
next year which includes eight

Army will open it's 1851 season

date, against Ohio Wesleyan. The
Cadets then will face Villanova,
Northwestern. Dartmouth, Har-
ward, Columbia. Southern Cali
fornia. The Citadel, PENNSYLVANIA

ward. Columbia, Penn and Navy
were on this years nine game

Blaik admitted that The Cita.
Gel. the military college of South
Carolina. could be considered as
"breather," just as New Mexico
was this season. but he justified
scheduling the game on the
grounds that it is a military school,
and that after six hard games in
a row the players deserve a rest
before taking on two of their
toughest opponents.
The still-incomplete 1852 sched-
ule includes such teams as South

Louis Hits Comeback

BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. %. - Young
Cesar Brion, full of vim and con-
f1dence, predicts a kayo within
seven rounds of aging Joe Louis

Chicago Stadium tonight.
The % year old Argentine
heavyweight is at the short end
Of Al odds to defeat Joe. Louis,
trying a second comeback at 36
after being decisively beaten in
IS rounds by Ezzard Charles last
September, still thinks he packs
enough dynamite to chill Brion.
Although not appearing impress
sive in training sessions, Louis
says he will try to end the fight
as soon as possible. He would not
name the round.
$4,000 Gate Expected.
"I'll shoot for q knockout from
the very start. and throw as many
rights as possible" promised
Louis.
A crowd of possibly 10000 and
q $50.000 gate. largest since the
international boxing club began
stadium promotions 18 months
ago, may be realized. Louis will
receive 371a per cent of the net
gate. His payo1f may amount to
less than $10,000-the smallest
purse for regular bout he ever
has received. He made more in
some of his exhibitions two years
ago.
Both fighters will get a fiat
$1,000 each from radio and tele-
vision fees. (The bout will be
televised on WTOP-TV. channel 8,
and broadcast on WTOP at 10
p.m).
Brion will weigh 1874, spotting
the ex-heavyweight champion
some 21 pounds. Joe expects to
be 8 pounds lighter than when he
met Charles.
Brion Lacks Punch.
IT believe my bad showing
against Charles was because just
had an off night" said Louis.
I'm going to find out for sure
tonight"
This will be Joe's first fight since
the Charles bout in New York
After that bout he announced. for
the second time, he was retiring.
A poor showing against Brion may
make it definite.
Brion is an aggressive. stand-up
fighter who lacks a chilling punch.
His main bid for fame was a
.second-round knockout of Tami
Mauriello in 1949. He has won
81 out of "a bouts.
Brion's manager, Hymie Wall
man. said Louis would be a perfect
target for his fighter.
I'VE are sending Brion out to
get him in the very first round,"I
Wallman added. Louis is an old
man with an old mans legs. He
can't move around any more.

1t is an ill-equipped player who,
when confronted with an unmake-
able contract, just resigns without
trying to avail himself Of human
frailties of the opposition. Playing
out to the bitter end, in the vague
hope of an enemy blunder, will
bring home many hopeless hand.
In today's adventure South be-
came declarer at contract of four
spades. West naturally opened the
jack of hearts, which was taken
by the ace. The ace and king of
trumps were caShed and declarer
was disappointed to learn that the
suit had failed to break. 1t appeared
now that he would have to win two
club tricks if he were to fulfill his
contract, inasmuch as trump trick
and diamond had to be surrended.
To hope that East had both the ace
and the queen of clubs was little
too sanguine, especially in view Of
his silence during the auction. De-
clarer chose instead to set about
obtaining a little assistance from
the enemy, to allow for the likel-
hood that clubs would not be favor
ably distributed.
He first ruffed dummy's remain
ing heart and then cashed the two
high diamonds. West was then given
the lead with a trump in the hope
that he could come through with
neighborly courtesy. West quite
properly cashed the queen Of dia-
monds. He did not consider leading
another heart, since he knew that
declarer could ruff in one hand and
obtain discard in the other. At long
last, hoping that partner had either
the king or the jack Of clubs, he led
the ace and another and the story
had been told. South had availed
himself Of Vests momentary
lapse.
West, to be sure, had not thought
the problem out to its logical con-
clusion. AS in many cases of this
kind, the simple expedient of count
ing up to 13 would have kept him
free from harm. Declarer was known
to have had f1ve spades, four dia-

facts had been proven in the play.
