Virginia Big Favorite
Over Mountaiineers
Special Dispoteh 10 The Star

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct.
27.-Virginia is a big favorite to
defeat West Virginia for the
eighth straight time when they
tangle tomorrow at Mountaineer
Field in West Virginia's homecom-
ing. The Cavaliers carry a record
of four victories and one defeat
against the Mountaineers who
have been able to win only two of
their five games so far.
Coach Art Guepe of Virginia
will strike at the Mountaineers
with his newly stabilized offensive
backfeld of Rufus Barkley at
quarterback, Gerry Furst and
Bobby Pate, halfbacks, and John
Papit, fullback.
The presence of Barkley will as
sure the Virginians of a good pass
ing attack. The talented junior
has completed "a of 81 passes for
$50 yards and seven touchdoWns.
Pate, the sophomore addition to
the starting backfield when he
went against VMI last week as a
replacement for Steve Osisek,
holds lofty average of 8.3 yards.
Although the Cavaliers are
heavy favorites, Coach Guepe is
injecting a note of caution into
his pre-game talks with reminders
that similar situations existed the
last three years. The Cavaliers
barely won, 60, in 1887, squeaked
through by TO in 1888 and last
year managed only a 1914 tri-
umph.

Parker and Gabriel
Pace Burning Tree
Scotch Foursomes

Burning Tree members and
their 26 guests who participated
in the opening round of the first
member-guest Scotch foursome
tournament ever held here were
like kids with a new toy yester-
day. Everybody liked the novel
tournament, which continues with
18-hole medal play rounds today
and tomorrow.
First-day leaders were L. H.
Parker, host club member, who
says he has been playing golf for
So years, and Robert Gabriel of
Congressional. Parker had a 20
handicap, Gabriel 13. They post
ed an alternate shot round of 81
and deducted 161a strokes, half
of their combined handicap for a
net 70Ha.
All prizes will be net, that is
handicaps deducted from the gross
score. No gross prizes will be
awarded.
The Districts top amateur golf
ers, Bobby Brownell and Ralph
Bogart, played with Jack Shea
and j. B. Ryan, respectively, and
both teams had net TBS, which
proves this true Scotch foursome
play is tough test of golf.
Robert c. Simmons of Burning
Tree and Tom Carney of Manor
finished 2la shots back of the
leaders yesterday with 84-11-73.
Prizes will be awarded for the
low scorers each day, in addition
to the three low teams for three

sional hold third place with 1875
"a. with their 79 representing the
low gross score of the day. Ber-
nard and Pittman were out in "A
but played the back nine in 35,
one under par, by far the best
nine-hole effort of the day.

Plans For Farm
Homes Offered

Almost 200 farm families secured
blueprints for farmhouses from the

Service in the past year, reports
Ray w. Carpenter, extension agri-
cultural engineer.
His department offers home
builders plans for more than 70
different farmhouses. Biueprints
for these houses may be obtained
from the University for modest
cost.
Mr.. Carpenter explains that
these homes have been planned
with the special needs of farm
dwellings in mind. "A town house
is a place for a family to live. A
farmhouse is that too, but it is
also business office, a factory,
and, as the homemal1er sometimes
thinks, hotel and restaurant as
well. Unlike any other house, the
convenient arrangement of the
farmhouse begins with it's relation
to other Farm buildings"

Former United States Senator
George L. Radcliffe has been ap-
pointed Maryland State Chairman
of the 1851 March of Dimes, Basil
O'Connor, president of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis, announced in New York
last week.
Mr.. Radcliffe, who has headed
the annual fund raising appeal in
Maryland since establishment of
the March of Dimes in 1898, in ac-
cepting the appointment, declared:
"When March of Dimes time
comes around again in January,
we hope to break all records for
contributions in our state. The Ma
tional Foundation is again faced
with an undeniably grave financial
situation, because the incidence of
polio this year has still been
mounting, adding to the staggering
load from the 1949 epidemics.
Thousands of patients from
last year and previous years must
still be taken care of, and we shall
have to ask the people of Mary
land to help US meet the great and
tragic demand for funds. Last
year, Maryland gave $500, 190.47 to
the March of Dimes. This giving
was at approximately 10 cents per
resident of the state. In per cap
ita giving, Maryland ranked 37th
in the nation last year, and we are
hoping to push this ranging much
higher in 1851"
Mr.. Radcliffe, who served two
terms in the United States Senate,
was formerly Maryland Secretary
of State. He. is president of the
Maryland Historical Society and
author of Governor Hicks of
Maryland and the Civil War.
Chairman of the Presidential
Birthday Balls which were first be-
gun in 1888, Mr.. Radcliffe has
been one of the nations most ac-
tive workers in behalf of polio vic
tins since the movement to assist
them was started. In business life,
he is president of the American
Bonding Company and chairman
of the executive committee of the
Fidelity and Deposit Company in
Baltimore.

Land Buying For Parkway
Will Soon Be Completed
County Will Issue Bonds In Amount OF
$4,000 To Match Sum From NCPPC

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission hopes to COM
plete land-buying soon for the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway in Montgomery County.
John Nolen, jr., NCPPC planning
director, said Friday acquisition
of land for the parkway is about
rs percent complete.
The parkway will open up both

the county and will connect with
the proposed route to Cumberland.
At Fridays session, NCPPC was
asked by Public Buildings Admin
strator w. E. Reynolds to cooperate
in any future planning for the
dispersal of key Federal buildings
in Washington. Mr.. Nolen said
specific locations where Federal
buildings might be dispersed were
not discussed.
NCPPC has been notified by
county authorities that they plan
to issue bonds to finance a S180,000
land item for the parkway, which
will be matched by a similar sum
from the NCPPC.
Planning director Nolen was
named liaison officer for the NCPPC
in efforts by the Civil Aeronautics

another airport here. The CAA
presented its "basic studies" on
the proposed report to the commits
sion on Friday.
Mr.. Nolen said he thought it

other Government groups on high
