Price Beats Ed Mo||oy
For Quarterback Spot
On A|I-|W Squad
BY the Asseeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Colum-
bias little Mitch Price beat out
Ed Molloy of Yale today for the
key quarterback spot on the As
sociated Press All-Ivy League
football team.
The competition between these
two passers provided the biggest
problem for coaches who joined
in selecting the two-platoon, %
man squad.
Greater all-around ability, par
ticularly in running and team di-
rection, finally gave Price the edge
over Molloy although the Yale
field general won the Ivy League
passing crown by completing one
more throw than the Columbia
ace.
Since the squad was chosen as
nearly as possible by exact posi-
ton, Molloy, who also led the
league in passing yardage d306)
and touchdown throws Q5), failed
to make the eight-man backfield.
Completing the offensive back
field were Dick Clasby of Harvard,
the single-wing triple-threat star
who won the leagues individual
total offense and rushing titles;
Jerry Jones. Yale's best ball-car-
rier. and Homer Smith, Princeton S
hard-running junior fullback.
Princeton led the team with
number of places. getting five men
on the squad. Penn followed with
four. Yale, Harvard and Columbia

Timing Of Duke Game Spoiled
Perfect Year, Cavaliers Claim,
By MerreII WhittIesey

Virginia, which ended the sea-
son hufflng and putting to beat
two not-very-good teams, Wash
ington and Lee and William and
Mary by a touchdown each, could
have had an unbeaten season If
it had played Duke on another
date, the Cavalier football rooters
are saying.
AS it is. Virginia finished with
eight victories and two defeats,
and for the last four years has
lost total Of only seven games,
not more than two in any season.
Art Guepe has coached Virginia
seven years. He brought a SEM
hlance Of consistency to Virginia
football when he started beating
the bushes for linemen. Previous
ly Virginia had been noted for its
backs, but seldom bothered to
entice players who could block or
tackle.
Big Buildup for Duke.
This year the Cavaliers won
their first four games. and in the
first three scored 119 points
against none for Vanderbilt, VPI
and George Washington. They
were not scored on until the fourth
game when they beat VMI, 1914.
Then came the big buildup for
the Duke game. Both were un-
beaten, Duke having topped Ten
nessee among others. and it was
the cameo -of-the-day, not only in
the South but in the Nation. But
on that day Virginia was not up
to meeting team Of Dukes cali
ber. The Cavaliers were over
eager and lost, 21-7, with penalties
and fumbles greatly aiding the
Blue Devils.
The next week Virginia was
leading South Carolina, 14-0, in
the last quarter and coasting
when lightning struck. The Game
cocks scored 81 points in two min
utes and handed Virginia its only
other loss Of the season, 21-14.

that if the Cavaliers had caught
Duke after Georgia Tech debated
the Blue Devils, instead Of before,
Virginia would have won. And, of
course. If Virginia had beaten
Duke, it never would have lost to
South Carolina.
May Drop State Foes.
For the first time in Virginia's
football history it played all other
members of Virginia's Big Six, and
of course, beat them all-VMI,
VP1. Washington and Lee, Rich
mond and William and Mary. In
fact, in Guepe's seven years at
Charlottesville, his teams have lost
only two games in the State, to
Richmond in 1916 and to Wash
ington and Lee last year.
But this probably will be the last
time Virginia plays all Big Six
members for many years. The
William and Mary folks are puz-
zled over Virginia's schedule-mak-
ing tactics because as yet the
Indians are not on the. Virginia
schedule for next year, and ap-
parently they won't be.
A William and Mary spokesman
said after Saturdays game:
Were holding three dates on our
schedule for them. and know
our president has written theirs,
but apparently you're going to
see Pitt and Penn State and
schools like that in Charlottesville
next year, but not William and

.Long-Ra ~ Policy
TO Boost Grid Returns
Is Studied by NCAA
BY the Associo.ed Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion's Television Committee is
preparing another restricted pro-
gram for 1853 and is looking even
farther ahead to the time when
expanded TV will net millions in
stead Of thousands in receipts.
The 10-man group continued in
session today. formulating a plan
to present to the NCAA national
convention in Washington Janu-
ary $40.
Asa Bushnell, director Of the
1852 MEGA program, said the
committee is studying a long
range policy to deal with pressure
problems when subscription (pay-
as-you-see) television comes into
use.
When this day comes-whether
it be two years or five years
Bushnell said. an institution
could reap million dollar rewards
for one appearance-if not effec-
lively checked.
One OF the suggestions being
mulled over at midtown hotel IS
to assess the televised games
heavily and distribute money to
other colleges in the area, whose
receipts might have been hurt, by
TV, on a pro-rated formula.
The main idea is to see that
the rich don't get richer and the
poor poorer. creating a football
aristocracy," as the TV Committee
sees it. of 10 or IL top-ranking
teams.
Under the present program,
limiting football television to one
major game week and one team
a season, the receipts, averaging
around 100000 a game, are split
between the competing schools,
minus a IL per cent assessment
by the NCAA.
The NCAA television body is
certain to draw up another pro-
gram Of restricted television for
1858, despite growing complaints.

Bach Claims Stee|ers

Earlier Turn in Luck
By the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. with
just a little luck. Coach Joe Bach
says, the Pittsburgh Steelers would
be fighting for the championship
of the National Football League
instead Of being down near the
bottom of the American Confer
ence.
Bach. ordinarily a man of a few
words, had lot of praise for his
Steelers after their 63-7 shellack-
ing Of the New York Giants yes
terday-but it did little else but
bolster their egos and all but
smash the title hopes of the
Giants.
Bach told a newsman that with
a few better breaks his team
could be in first place. not in fifth
with 4-6 record. He based his
claim on the five games the
Steelers lost on a combined tota.
OF II points. Two of these were
one-point defeats by the leading
Cleveland Browns.
The victory over the Giants was
the greatest point total in the
Steelers' 20-year history.
Giants Lose Two Quarterbacks.
A factor in the Giants debacle
was the fact that Tom Landry,
one of the key backs in their "um-
brella" defense, had to take over
as quarterback when Chuck Con-
erly and Fred Benners went out
with injuries in the second quar-
ter. Landry threw Is passes and
completed only four for 108 yards.
Can you imagine that" Bach
said after handing the New York
ers the worst defeat in their his
tory. Il guess when it rains, it
pours. But I'm the happiest coach
in the business right now.

once in a long. long time. It is

secuted the Giants for us. He did
an excellent job.
"Our first four touchdowns
came on breaks, but the next five

that had happened in our other

ord now and be sitting right on
