Methodist, when he was in South
Bend recently. He said that the
two most deceptive plays he saw
all fall were Oklahoma's fake to
its fullback and pass to Billy
Vessels (which cost us 6 points,
and Georgia Techs pitchout to
its halfback. The Tech play works
this way: The quarterback takes
the ball and runs toward his right
end as his fullback comes up to
meet him. He presses the ball
right into the fullback's stomach
and runs with him for four steps.
Then as the fullback doubles up,
he draws the ball back, shields it
with his body, takes two more
steps and pitches out to his left
halfback who is by now outside
the defensive end. Watch closely
for this on television.

Moore is under contract to make
his first defense against joey

AII.America Team
SpseioI Dispatch 10 The Star

LAKELAND. Fla. Dec. 31.-The
mythical All-America boys club
team was announced today by the
Pop Warner Foundation, sponsor
of the Santa Claus Bowl, and only
one member of the Washington
team. which won the bowl tourna-
ment, is on 1t.
Back John Luce of 6130 Thirty

named to the first team.

in the two-round tournament
which ended Monday night.
The players are returning to
Washington on the Atlantic
Coast Lines Havana Special,
scheduled to arrive in Union
Station at / am. tomorrow
Haley Not Chosen.
Another Washington star, Pete
Haley, who scored all three touch
downs in the two victories, failed
to make the All-Star team, but
that's understandable. Selections
on Nation-W wide basis were made
some time ago and Haley wasn't
even with the Boys Club of Wash
ington then.
The fast running Haley, who
lives at 4703 Chase avenue, Be-
theSda, Md, and Tackle Tim Gal
lagher Of 4501 Harding lane, Be-
thesda, both played with Our
Lady of Lourdes in Washington's
Catholic Youth Organization
League during the regular season.
Both members of the Boys Club
of Washington, they were eligible
for the clubs All-Star team which
played here.
An incident pointing up the fact
that the team was chosen in ad-
vance was Hatten Hodges selec-
ton as tackle. although he was
a back on the Wilson team in the
tournament and a star runner.
Mount Rainier Boy Honored.
The Pete Norton Memorial
Award for Outstanding Sports
manship went to John Reutelionis,
a 13-year-old Lithuanian who
came to the United States three
years ago.

team. The award honors the men,
ory of Pete Norton. sports editor
of the Tampa Morning Tribune,
who died last spring.
Reutelionis received the award
at a banquet honoring the bowl
teams here last night. Guest
speaker was Freddie Hutchinson,
manager of the Detroit Tigers.
Other awards presented were the

Green Bay Packers team, the Pop
Warner Foundation essay contest

He brought in three that day

He rode four winners at Trop-

The real sad note in the North Caro-

the couple, apparently not married, were
found together one night last October, a

state line and flogged. 1t seems terrible
way to attempt to regulate the morals of

were found with any other man steps

that Mrs. Charlton, unlike many other U. S.
parents, never thought for a moment that

was Enthusiastically understood because they
were Negroes.)
When Connie finished his freshman
year in high school and enlisted in the
Army, his mother kissed him goodbye as
she had kissed his three brothers who served
in World War II and fourth who enlisted
after VI day. When he was 81 he was
transferred to Okinawa, later with the 25th
Infantry division in Korea. He was a SER
geant when the Charltons got word that
Connie had been killed.
Connie died on June 2, 1851 near Chpo,
Korea, at the summit of a heavily defended
hill which his company had been attacking
without success for two days. Connie took
over when his platoon leader was wounded.
While being pinned down by intense fire
