Alumni Hall in Charlottesville
is one of the South's foremost
rumor factories. People gather
there after University of Virginia
football games and circulate the
latest gossip, whether it's con-
cerning society or sports.
Last Saturday night was COM
paratively dull, however. as all
the stories were fairly old. There
was the weekly renewal of the
one that Art Guepe, the Virginia
coach, will succeed Carl Snavely
at North Carolina.
Also the semi-monthly tale
that Virginia will be a member
of the to-be-formed conference
of Southern schools that will in
clude Maryland, Duke. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Clem-
son. maybe Wake Forest. William
and Mary and West Virginia.
Game With Terps Hinted.
And there was the one that Vir-
ginia has outgrown football RI
valries with most of the six State
schools and that Pitt, Penn State
and Maryland will appear on the
Cavaliers schedule by 1854. Or
yes. If Guepe succeeds Snavely
the alumni hall gossips already
have named his succeSsor-Bil
Dudley.
But Guepe had worries othel
than whether he's going to Caro-
Ilina-he was in the doghouse al
Ihome
At halftime of the W&5L game
Saturday, 10-year-old Art Guepe
Ijr., sneaked into the dressing
room. not known to his father
With Virginia, a topheavy ia.
vorite, trailing the Generals, TO
Coach Guepe read the riot act
to the Cavaliers.
Art didn't know his youngstel
was in the dressing room unit
yesterday. at home, he overheard
the youngster tell his mother
"You should have heard wha
Daddy told the boys during tht
half yesterday" Mrs. Guept
wisely did not continue the dis.
cussion, but came looking for Art
/ Guepe's Needing Effective.
Whatever Guepe told the team
it must have had it's effect. Ths
Cavaliers marched "a yards tt
touchdown the first time they
had the ball, and As yards fol
another after intercepting a pass
After having the next drive
stopped by an interception in the
end zone, they came back As
yards again for the clincher.
Rather than bsrate his owr
team for what was considered
by others poor performance
Guepe preferred to pay tribute
to Washington and Lee. He sale
he had maintained all along thai
the Generals were not nearly az
bad as their record, and thai
they would be fired up against
Virginia. In defeats of the two
previous weeks the Generals hac
been crippled by what they termed
fan unmerciful pounding at the
hands of Vanderbilt. The WsI
coaches termed Vandy the dirtiest
team they'd ever seen.
Virginia was proud that it hac
held Yves Abrams and Randy
Broyles, the two top runners in
the conference to 101 yards be-
tween them, but in stopping them
they had left themselves wide oper
to superb performance by Joe
Lindsey, the quarterback. Anc
Lindsey had help, too. from Bill
bunker, the ex-All-High choice
from Central, who caught two
passes, one for a touchdown.
Guepe wanted to absolve Harold
Hoax of any blame for setting ur
the first W&L touchdown. Hoax
dropped a good pass from center
on a fourth down kick and gave
the Generals the ball on then
own "a, instead of somewhere in
side the 20. Hoax had received
a knock on the head and had spots
before his eyes, but wouldn't tel
the coach. He didn't even see the
ball when it was centered. He
asked Mel Roach to go in and
kick for him but Roach wouldn't
go unless Guepe told him.
The Cavaliers are not taking
William and Mary, their Saturday
opponent, lightly. Guepe thinks
Ed Mioduszewski is one of the best
backs in the Nation and just hope.
his team can be as fired up fo1
the Indians as W85L was for 'Vir.
ginia.
