|Scrimlnage 7 Hours;
Hoya Sophs Do Well
By GEORGE Huber

its first full week of practice yes
terday by scrimmaging against
Villanova for more than two hours
in the rain at College Park.
Coach Jim Tatum appeared
more pleased than he was earlier
in the week when she Terrapins
held their first intrasquad scrim-
mage, but he bemoaned the fact
that the rain kept him from get
ting line on his quarterbacks.
The George Washington squad
went to Lexington, Va, yesterday
to scrimmage against Washington
and Lee, but the rain there was
worse than here and, after watt
ing for four hours, the Colonials
returned without having put on
their football togs.
Geogetown devoted it's afternoon
to tough intrasquad scrimmage.

At Maryland, Tacun has been
trying out four of his players to
replace Joe Tucker and Stan Le-
vine, last years quarterbacks who
both graduated. Tatum was hop
ing that the workout would give
him better line On who would get
the call. Johnny Idzlk, a senior
who has been running the first
team most of the time in practice,
did most of the directing yester-
day. He was a defensive halfback
last year.
Others who took a hand at it
were Jack Scarbath and Bob De-
Stefano, both sophomores, and
Jack Armsworthy, junior.
The backfield combination that
appeared best for Maryland in
cludes Idzik at quarterback, Ed
Modzelewski and Bob Shemonski
at halfbacks and Ed Fullerton a
fullback. fullerton, a sophomore,
was singled out for praise by Ia
tum, as was Ed Kensler, a tackle
last year but who now is playing
offensive center.
Also going well was Joe Petruz-
20, sophomore back from New
York. He reeled off two long runs,
one 45-yard dash off guard that
went for touchdown and another
of about 40 yards around end.
The sophomores did we'll at
Georgetown in yesterdays work.
out, especially Art Gulla and Al
Consfalone in the backfield. Gulla
reeled off several sizeable gains
and scored two touchdowns, one
on a 30-yard run and another. on
a 5-yard dash. Consfalone also
Tailed from Is yards out.
Another sophomore back looking
better every day is Gino Pagluica.
He is being used at fullback and
is developing into an excellent
line plunger.
Coach Bob Margarita is more
pleased with the way his squad is
shaping up and said yesterdays
downfield blocking was the best
he had seen so far in the training
session. The team has come along
so well he is giving the players
tomorrow and Tuesday off.
Among the other sophomores
working well were Guard John
McGinn and Center Jim Slowey.
Bill Orsini, a veteran tackle. also
was outstanding.
Tackle Is Injured.
Tackle Sheldon Greenland re-
ceived a badly-bruised knee late
in the scrimmage and will be out
of practice for about 10 days, &C
cording to Trainer Joe Kuczo. A
number of other players received
minor injuries.
Coach Bo Rowland of George
Washington said he had hoped
the scrimmage at Washington and
Lee would give him line on his
defensive backfield setup. He is
hoping that he will be able to
move Jim Kline from the de-
fensive group into the offensive
backfield where he would share
wingback duties with Charley
Jones. Kline played some at
wingback last season, but he was
needed so badly on defense that
Rowland had to play there mucn
of the time.
Kline is fast. however, and If
Rowland can see his way clear to
using him at wingback it will put
more zip into the Colonial reverse
plays.
