W&L, AZ; VIRGINIA. IA.

When a team rated between a
one and two-touchdown underdog
routs the favorite by 28 points,
there must be a big reason for the
upset.
George Barclay, Washington and
Lee coach, and his line coach,
Russ Crane. were saying after
Saturdays game at Lexington that
the Generals pass defense was q
major factor.
Carl Wise, the backfield coach.
Is the man to whom they give
the credit for the W&L pass de-
fense and his charges played it
to perfection. Virginia tried IS
passes. completed only three for
% yards and had four intercepted.
The Generals were using a six
man line against the Cavaliers
split T attack. Most coaches
prefer a f1ve-man set-up when
facing the split T but W6sL went
into the five only when Virginia
used a short spread. The defense
was man-to-man with all the
backs instructed to play the ball
when it was thrown.
Execution Is Perfect.

perfection. Especially unusual was
the work of the line-backers who
were ranging far back in the Sec
ondary to knock down and to pick
OF Virginia heaves. Giordani in
tercepted two passes, one of which
set up a touchdown, and Weaver
grabbed one.
Wise credited the enthusiasm
displayed in practice for the ex-
cellent work on the field. "The
boys make game of it in prac-
tice," he explained. THE offense
gets a point for every completed
pass and the defense one if they
intercept. and it's a real rivalry" /"

surprise triumph.
The defensive line, led by
Tackles Rollo Thompson, former
W&L High star, and Charlie
Smith. were not giving the Viz
ginia quarterbacks much time to
pass. which helped the halfbacks
do their jobs.
Bocetti Sharp Strategist.
Gil Bocetti, one of the finest
split T quarterbacks in the coun-
try. was master faker Saturday.
When Bob Thomas scored the
third W6zL touchdown on an end
around he even fooled Coach Bar
clay.
The coach thought 1t was a
fullback cross buck into the CEN
ter of the Cavaliers tight line
and he screamed to Crane, "It
won't work. it won't work" When
Thomas broke around the end
with two blockers and scored
standing up no one was more sur
priSed than Barclay. Wise re-
vealed later that the play hadn't
been called, even in signal drill
in over two weeks, but Bocetti
knew that was the spot for it and
had confidence he and the team
could run it successfully.
Especially gratifying to WdSI
supporters was the excellence OF
Barclays freshmen and sopho-

rather, that an expert job Of
scouting by Rice accounted for the
bottling up of Bob. =

Howton Wins High Praise.
Jess Neely, Rice's head coach,
distributes praise as if it were
expensive, but of his outstanding
end, Bill Howton. he said. "They
don't make 'em any better than
that boy" 1t was strong state
ment by a close-mouthed coach,
but Navy is in a mood to agree.
Howton caught four of Rice'S
seven competitions in 10 attempts.
accounting for 1872 of the 157 yards
the Owls gained through the air.
But Howton's ability isn't re-
stricted to pass-catching. He has
played more than so minutes in
each of Rice's three games.
Neely remarked that in the
fourth period Howton made as
brilliant defensive play as Nicely
has witnessed. Blocked down and
out Of a play. he recovered TO get
the ball carrier for no gain.
Somebody Erred, 1t Seems.
Navy was guilty of bad football.
Trailing midway in the fourth
period, the Middies had fourth
down with a yard to go for first
down on their 48. It was time
to gamble. but Navy didn't. either
because of a too-cautious attitude
or because somebody on the bench
made a mistake. Bob Cameron,
Navy's punter, came in to kick.
The idea might have been to fake
a punt and run for the yard, but
If so Navy's bench failed to note
J. sCameron's entrance would cost
the MiddieS S yards. Thus it
became fourth down and six yards
to go. forcing a punt.
With less than minutes to
go. deep in its own territory, Navy
ran three straight ground plays,
then punted, rather than pin its
hopes on trying to break some
body loose on a long pass. 1t
was hard to get excited about a
team which wouldn't gamble
when the clock was clicking them
toward defeat.
Navy, tied by Yale and beaten
by Princeton and Rice, has an
other rough Saturday coming up.

CIV. So: vPI, Is.

It has been interesting to watch
the development Of the younger
players at George Washington
University. They served their ap-
premiership in a tough league
against Georgia. Virginia and
Maryland. and were ready to come
through when the Colonials got
into a game they had a good
chance to win. Injuries to some
OF the veterans made it all the
more important that the sopho-
mores and freshmen stand UP un-
der the pressure, and they did
that Friday night against vir-
ginia Tech.
A check Of the lineup reveals
that Coach Bo Rowland had eight
sophomoreS, five freshmen and
one ex-junior college player
among the 28 who got into the
game. The left tackle spot was
filled by freshmen entirely; soph-
omoreS and freshmen were at
right guard and right end was
handled by a freshman, a soph-
omore and an ex-junior college
player.
Earns Fans Attention.
Two Of these newcomers have
developed to the point where they
are attracting public attention.
Wingback Ken Belliveau, a soph-
omore, is getting better every
game. He showed more conf
dence and more speed Friday
night than In any of the other
three games. and should be even
better in the future. He was
slow to start the season. but that
was because he missed a lot of
training because of a cold. Now
he IS showing plenty Of foot,
and with his weight he could be
GW's leading back before long
On defense earlier this year he
had occasional lapses that hurt
the Colonial's. but this weakness
is being cured by experience.
End Richie Gaskell, q fresh
man who came from Tech High
School. also is becoming increas-
ingly valuable through experience.
He too is a good big boy. and his
height makes him a valuable pass
catcher. CIV completed eight
passes for 1856 yards Friday night.
and more than half that distance
was the 72 yards made on three
tosses to Gaskell. On two OF
these passes he got considerable
yardage following the catch.
Dean Given Little Chance.
Johnny Dean, the freshman
passer who was supposed to be
Virginia Techs big threat, did not
have a good night with only one
completion in eight attempts. Sew
eral of his missed passes should
have been caught. but actually the
Colonials had the Gobblers bottled
up so much that Dean wasn't in
position to pass. Then too the
CIV defensive backfield did very
we'll in covering Deans potential
receivers so that the youngstel
frequently had to keep the ball.
It was on one of these keeps
that he got away for the nights
most spectacular scoring play
when he ran 81 yards.

Four Valley Homemakers clubs won substantial prizes in a keen competition of booth exhibits en- tered by ten clubs.
 The Riverbend Homemakers won the first prize of $50 with their clever miniature of the Farmers Market complete with miniature vegetables and tiny match stick rhubarb.

Well. our i95l Fair is now his. tory. ] belive our fairs dc more than any one thing 10 show the people cf Alaska, as well as visi- tors. that agriculture in the Mata- nuska Valley is a feasible basic type of enterprise and contributes lot 10 the basic economy of the territory.
 There is feeling among many. even locally. that farming isn't much of business here. They feel that somebody sort of keeps II going, perhaps just 10 prove that agriculture can be carried on in Alaska. That just isn't so. No farmer is in business here for his health.
 Farming can be as profitable as any other line of enterprise. It takes a lot Of money, time and labor to get a farm rolling but once you get out on top it's the best life in the world. Good farm Management really pays off here. The basis of good management is a good crop rotation. You can't raise potatoes year after year on the same piece. You can't raise cats and peas or pasture grass on the same piece year after year either. and do it efficiently.
 The basic good of crop rota- tion is to return hunlus to the soil and thus build up fertility. You need the humus to make your fertilizer work more efficiently. That rotation must include either d grass or green manure crop in it to restore that humus. Of the two, the grass crop for either hay or pasture is best. Flowing under a green manure crop leaves the soil open to the winter wind. That's bad.
