CIV, 6: VIRGINIA TECH, 0.


Virginia Tech was across mid
field nine times, George Wash
iington twice. VPI netted 207
yards and II first downs, CIV 1875
yards and eight first downs. Bu.
on the scoreboard it was 60 fol
CIV.
It was fine defensive work by
CIV that kept the Gobblers from
scoring. Three times the Co.
flonials really were in danger when
Tech advances got as far as the
is, II and S. The first time an
illegal pass receiver penalty COT
which more later on fourth down
ended the threat. the second time
End Jim England tackled the VP1
quarterback for a 15-yard loss, and
the third threat was stopped by
England's charging that caused a
tumble, which he recovered him
self.
England and Steve Korcheck
were the defensive stars, although
at one time or another practically
every member of the defensive
platoon got into the act. Kor-
check at various times on defense
played end, linebacker, halfback
and safety, and he was center on
the kicking team and also did the
kicking off.
AS center on punts, he was
downfield with the ball. On sue
cessive puntS in the third period
he tackled VPI's ball carrier for
Is and 5 yard losses. Altogether
the Gobblers showed a minus
yards on punt returns.
Ruling Prevents Safety.
About that illegal pass receiver
play: Tech had fourth down and
2 yards to go for a first down on
GW's 6. Quarterback Dean OF
VPI passed, and it was intercepted
a foot in front of the goal by
lGW's Carl Bodolus. He was
hemmed in and didn't want the

ball there anyway, as an incom-
Iplete pass would have given CIV
the ball on its 6. So he brushed
lit away, and it went to Cecil Per-
kins of CIV in the end zone. Per-
kins was tackled for what would
have been a safety. as Bodolus had
given the ball new impetus with
what amounted to lateral. But
VPI was detected with an ineli-
Igible receiver downf1eld on the play
and was charged with a 15-yard
penalty and loss of the down.
giving CIV the ball on it's 81.
There was another weird, sell
dom seen play in the game. The
|Colonials were inside their five in
the second period. and Leroy
Courtney on third down was punt
ing from deep in his end zone. His
blocker got in his way and his kick
went practically straight up. Dave
Waldron Of CIV caught 1t and car
ried it out of the end zone. Since
it had been only third down and
the punt hadn't gone past the line
of scrimmage. it still was GW's
ball. Courtney got off a 40-yard
kick on the next play.
Big Change i'm One Week.
Courtney's punting had improved
nightly from the previous week
when he was given his first try
Iagainst Virginia. Against the
Cavaliers he was taking about four
steps and getting his kicks away
slowly. In one week. Coach Bo
Sherman taught him to get the
ball away quickly after only a step
and half, and it showed up in his
40.7-yard average for eight punts.
Dick Gasperi of CIV had his
placement for the extra point
blocked, which wasn't surprising.
Ut just didn't figure that he'd make
it. It was GW's 18th touchdown
this season. Gasperi has been sue
cessful after No. /. 3, S. Z, 9 and II
but has missed No. 2. 4, 6, 8, 10 and

tum and Jack Hennemier, two OF
Alderton's biggest rooterS. both
said his performance aturday
was just another game for him.
Alderton is so modest he won't
tell you the time of day. But he's
not what you'd call a meek young
man starting at 2 o'clock on Satur-
day afternoons.
Maryland is more than half
way through its second unbeaten
season in a row, and for the Sec
ond straight year wise selection
of co-captains has been a tre-
mendouS help. Last year it was
Bob Ward on offense and Dave
Cianelli on defense. They were
co-captains and both were leader
types.
This year the Terps have Alder
ton and Ed Fullerton. Alderton
is not the type who can inspire
his teammates by words, but he
keeps the defensive team fired
up with his phenomenal defensive
play.
Fullerton is an unhandsome
rugged all-round guy who has a
terrific love for football. He
helps make that offensive team
move.
Damper on Celebration.
There was a temporary damper
on the Maryland celebration at
the Statler last Saturday night
when it was announced that LSU,
next weeks opponent. had been
beaten, 27-14, by Georgia.
That meant more work for the
coaching staff this week. The way
the Tigers had been moving, the
Maryland coaches expected them
to trounce Georgia. and that
would help keep the Terps "up."
But instead LSU lost to a team
Maryland had beaten, 37-0, the
week before.
Maryland has only one un-
beaten opponent ahead-Missis-
sippi-a team that has been tied
by Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Ala
bama's 300 defeat by Tennessee
was a blow to the Terps' future
prestige, and probably to the gate
for Maryland's last game with the
Crimson Tide at Mobile.
Surprised by Navy Score.
The Maryland coaches honestly
were surprised that Navy scored
Saturday, particularly because the
touchdown came on 70-yard
march.
Look at their touchdowns
against Cornell, Yale and William
and Mary" one of the Maryland
assistants was saying. Most of
them were through breaks, mean
ing an intercepted pass or recov-
cred tumble.
It was the consensus that by jam
ming the line Navy had succeeded
in holding down the score against
Maryland, holding it under so at
least, but in SO doing the Middies
gave up all chances for an upset
victory. BY leaving their second
ary vulnerable for passing, they
virtually conceded Maryland five
or six touchdowns. If they had
defended against passing and not
concentrated on stopping the
TerpS' running, the score might
have been worse. Who knows?

Monday Morning Quarterback
Natural Leaders Spur Terps; Battered Navy Gloomy;
By Froncis Stonn

NAHAsA AAAsDs 0os s4NAVAs -
Neither sword nor sabre could
cut the gloom that hung over
Annapolis today in the wake OF
Navy's rout by Maryland. With
his squad physically battered and
possibly demoralized, temporarily,
by the fury of the big Terrapin at
tack, Head Coach Eddie Erdelatz
now faces the herculean task Of
readying Navy for Penn, Notre
Dame and Duke these next three
Saturdays.
At his retreat overlooking the
Severn, Erdelatz said: i've got
|no alibi for last Saturday. That
was Jim Tatum'S best team. II
was better than the Sugar Bowl
|outf1t Of 1851. I can't see anybody
beating Maryland this year."
Eddie was not inclined toward
throwing bouquets, although he
confessed that Jack Scarbath was
"a good quarterback" and that
Co-Capt. John Alderton played
lone helluva game at end" What's
worrying Erdelatz is the road
ahead for Navy.
II felt bad enough about our
game" he confessed, "but on Sun
day morning read accounts OF
how well Penn, Notre Dame and
Duke had looked. With Penn COM
ing up this week, don't know
what can do except improvise. -
Next Three to Be Rough.
Erdelatz had stated that Mary
land would be the best team Navy
would play. Now he's in a mood
to believe any or all of the next
three Saturdays could be just as
rough.
I'VE were comparatively healthy
for Maryland" he said. For
Penn, Notre Dame and Duke,
don't see how we possibly can be
physically ready"
1t wasn't even hale and hearty
squad that Erdelatz brought to
College Park, he was saying. Frank
Brady, his crack defensive back
and no mean hand on offense,
had suffered two broken ribs
against William and Mary the
week before. although Navy had
covered up the injury. Hugh
Webster, first-line tackle, also
had been hurt.
Webster was reinjured in the
Maryland game. Hurt also were
Tackle Jack Perkins and Line
backer Jack Wilmer, who were
carried off with leg wounds. Two
more tackles, Jack Pertel and Don
Fullam. also were banged up.
Compelled to Improvise.
Beginning the third quarter, "
Erdelatz disclosed, I'VE had to use
our second-string defensive line.
We had little Ned Snyder (180
pounds) playing linebacker. We
were so short of linemen that
Herb Tiede, an end, played tackle
on offense for the first time in his
life"
There'1l be no scrimmaging at
Annapolis this week. Eddie was
saying. but mostly a patching of
wounds. "We only scrimmaged
one day before meeting Mary
land" he pointed out. Before
the season I called this squad the
most coachable I've had. That
still goes. But we're thin, now
more so than ever.
"We installed a new offense. It
looked all right and I still think
it'll turn out good. But beating
Yale, Cornell and William and
Mary isn't quite like playing Mary
land. They simply had too many
horses for u.s."

by what right also do men OPP
pose the existence of those organ
izations which will bring all parts
of the industrial picture together?
If men are united together in
Christ, then it would seem logical
that men in an industry should be
united in a working organization
that includes representatives OF
the organizations given to men by
God"
Pointing out that God has made
us all "the leaven", Father Shean
continued: THE sooner working
men realize that their mission in
life includes working to change
the whole of life so that it be-
comes Christian, the easier it will
be to work consistently for the
basic rights of the working man"
He concluded: Upon this altar
Christ is sacrificed, so that we
might live. 1t is our job to take
the life He has given to us and
live ii so that working with others,
for whom we pray with good will
and guided by the truths that
Christ has left us, this Labor Day
can mark the day upon which we
embark on a new crusade to bring
Christ into all places where men
earn their bread"
