Loss Of Regular Ends
Handicaps Tar Heels
For Maryland Game

Maryland scout reports indi-
cate North Carolina will be con-
siderably handicapped by the
loss of its two starting ends for
Saturdays clash between the
undefeated Atlantic Coast Con-
ference rivals at Chapel Hill.
The APP reported from Chapel
Hill yesterday that Coach George
Barclay announced his first
string ends, Ken Marlborough
and Will Frye, would miss the
Maryland game. Marlborough is
the captain. He has started two
of the Tar Heels three games
but was injured in both.
Frye is North Cardinals best
all-round end, according to the
Maryland scouts. He is a strong
blocker, good pass receiver and
an excellent defensive end.
Frye was hurt in the final
minute of North Cardinals 49,
10 victory over Wake Forest last
week. Both he and Marlborough
were carried from the field on
stretchers.
Tim Flynn, the Terps' sopho-
more end from st. Johns. who
was injured in the first quarter
Of the Missouri game and hasn't
played since. tried to work out
yesterday but learned his knee
is not strong enough. He will
not play against North Carolina.
Dick Shipley. reserve guard
who suffered a torn ligament in
the right knee in Maryland's
40-13 triumph over Georgia, at
tended practice on crutches. He
probably is out for the season,
but Coach Jim Tatum told him
to attend all the meetings. He
also told Shipley he would be
taken on the North Carolina and
Miami trips if he had doctors
permission.
Both teams we're hitting hard
in the Georgia game and there
was no rough work for Mary
lands first-stringers yesterday.

Hearing Begins Tomorrow
On Browns Injunction

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13 P.-Trial
of an injunction suit filed to keep
the Browns from moving to Bal
timore will open tomorrow. Five
of the seven minority stock
holders have withdrawn as plain
tiffs in the case.
Jerome Duggan, attorney for
the minority stockholders, filed
the Withdrawals with Circuit
Judge William B. Flynn yester-
day.
The American League has ap-
proved the transfer of the
Browns to Baltimore, but the
deal has not been formally COM
pleted.
The attorney for the club and
Bill Veeck, former president of
the Browns, has said the stock
holders would be held respon-
sible if their suit resulted in
club bankruptcy and losses to
Veeck and his associates.

ter idea. Why not, he asked
keep him at middle guard but
let him drop back to protect
against passes?
That's Jim's job today, one OF
the toughest on the squad. If it's
a line play. he's supposed to
throw a road block on the mid
die. If the opposition throws a
pass or tries to run around end
Ricca drops back to give the
secondary a hand. 1t keeps a
fellow busy.
Ricca has come close to inter-
cepting passes several times al
ready this season, and his am
bition is to grab one. He recov-
cred one tumble against the
Giants Sunday. and nabbed sew
eral in exhibition games. He
wants to go all the way for six
points with one.
Jim thinks he inherited his
physique from Grandfather Ric-
ca, who was a robust 6-foot-5
320-pounder, and might have
been an outstanding lineman
himself if he ever had had a
chance. And if the crash of 1923
hadn't caught the old gentleman
Jim might have inherited more
than Drawn, for the elder Ricca
was a successful contractor.
~
Jim'S father was an architect
who gave up the profession dur
ing the depression to accept a
position with the New York City
Welfare Department.
Ricca married into a sports
minded family when he won
pretty Mary Haley for his bride.
Everybody in Washington knows
Mary'S father, Pete Haley, di-
rector of the CYO and himself a
former sandlot baseball star and
manager. Her brother, Bill, is
the Holy Cross quarterback this
season, while another brother,
Pat, plays end for Villanova.
Pete, jr., played end for the
Wildcats last year.
The chief topic in the Haley
household of course, is sports,
which ever sport happens to be
in season. When Jim isn't busy
with chores around his own
home or with son Johnny. you
may find him doing duty at the
Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad. But Jim likes to talk
sports, too, and he may be lucky
that Mary is interested.
Eat least she knows what I'm
talking about" Jim said. guess
she knows as much technical
football as anybody, and more
than most women"
Ricca's spirit is typical of the
new Redskins. The kid who
wasn't supposed to have ghost
of a chance of making good
stayed on to confound the crit
les and haunt the opposition,
It's winning spirit, the kind
Washington fans have waited for
since 1945.

Dewitt Clearing Up
Details for Orioles;
May Arrange Deals
By the AssoeIated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 49, Bill
Dewitt. vice president of the de-
funct st. Louis Browns, today
was in charge here-temporarily
at least-of the new American
League Orioles.
After meeting with others who
will have a hand in guiding the
major leagues newest member,
Dewitt expressed surprise at the
tremendous interest manifested
by BaltimoreanS in their baseball
team despite the current football
enthusiasm and the approaching
basketball season.
He said he was pleased with
progress of construction Of sec
ond deck to Memorial Stadium,
slated to raise capacity to $4,000
by opening day next spring. He
also praised parking facilities on
either side of the stadium as
superior to those in any city in
the majors except Milwaukee.
Dewitt scheduled a meeting
today with stadium engineers to
determine exactly how many
seats there will be in various
categories.
He also said he had talked
with several American League
club owners regarding some
player deals, but had nothing
along that line to report.
There was speculation De-
Wits main purpose in being
here was to arrange some deals
involving the farm clubs before
all minor-league players are

Dewitt conferred yesterday
with Clyde Y. Morris, Baltimore
lawyer prominent in the syndi-
cate which bought the Browns;

ternational League Orioles and a
vice president in the new setup;
Herb Armstrong, general man

was the night the Wildcats ran
wild in the first half and stopped
like rundown battery in the
second. 1t was the night Ricca
stopped Ralph PasQuariello,
Villanova's 230-pound fullback,
e-handedly.
Marshall, the Redskins pres
tdent, took shine to big Jim.
Hes my boy" George decided.
We've got to get him on our
club"
Marshall got him, and more
than one observer thought he
was stuck with him. The boy
was clumsy. He hadn't shown
any speed, and he had that bad
eye. Congenitally defective, five
operations failed to improve
Jim's vision. A cataract was
removed, but it didn't help.
Even Ricca'S staunchest support
ers feared the eye would be his
undoing.
+
There was just one thing in
the big lineman's favor-size.
Herman Ball, then head coach
of the Redskins, figured a g.
| foot-4, 27O-pounder colud helm
by simply getting in the way of
the opposition. A guard and
tackle at Georgetown, Herman
decided Jim could be a middle
guard on defense. and he put
him there.
Jim was greener than a sick
IriShman, but he proved to be
surprisingly agile. And Ball was
right about his getting in the
way. Ricca messed up more than
his share of running plays. Later,
just about the time Dick Todd
took over the reins as coach,
Jim began to improve. Coaching
helped, but it was the coaching
of Al Demao, veteran center,
who took a liking for his fellow
Italian.
AL knew the strength and
weakness of every center in the
league. He passed the informa-
ton along to Ricca, going out
on the field with him ahead of
the rest of the squad at training
camp to give Jim that extra
coaching.
When Curly Lambeau assumed
command of the squad last sea-
son, he found that, at Balls sug-
gestion, Ricca was being tried
on a new assignment. They
wanted to make a defensive end
out of him to take advantage
of his speed. Curly had a bet

4. Pitchout to short side would
have little chance. No room.
3. Double reverse involves too
much ball handling for a tense
team on the first play.
2. Fake buck and long pass.
Quite a psychological lift to your
team if it clicks. But if inter-
cepted, it's a boomerang. It has
to be thrown very long to be as
good as a punt.
l. Otf-tackle slant. Best call.
Wise to settle a tense team down

TOTAL OFFENSE.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1953-02-05

Many thousands of pilgrims
visited The Old City of Jerusalem
and Bethlehem to celebrate the
birthday of Jesus Christ in the
year 1852 A. D. Among them were
several thousand who passed
from the new city of Jerusalem
in Israel, through Mandelbaum
Gate to Jordan, including the
BenderS. Those who went from
Israel included the many Chris
tan Arabs now living in Israel.
They were allowed So hours for
their pilgrimage. To these people
it was more than a pilgrimage
to the holy places, it was re-
union also, with friends and rel
atives from whom they are sep
arated completely except on
Christmas. Included in the group,
too, are those in Israel who main
tain the Christian shrines in
Israel. The remainder were those
like us, visitors to Israel, the
consular corps and the experts
who are giving technical assis-
tance to Israel.
Crossing the border is not too
easy for Israel and Jordan are
still more or less in a state of
war and for security reasons
screening of those crossing is
necessary. We applied to our
embassy for permission to pass.
Late on December 23rd we re-
ceived a cable telling lis we
would be allowed to cross and to
pick up passes at the consulate
in Jerusalem (new city,. We
were not allowed to take the
car, but were granted permis-
sion to cross Dec. "a and to re-
turn Dec. 26. Then, of course, we
had to have place to stay while
there. Most fortunately someone
cancelled his hotel reservations
and we were able to stay in
Ramalla, a Christian city about
10 miles north of the Old City.
When we tried to make reserva-
tions for the Easter holidays, the
hotel informed us that all rooms
were reserved and we would
have to try elsewhere.
On the morning of Dec. "a we
left Natanya and had a pleasant
drive under sunny skies to Jeru-
salem, Israel. We obtained all
necessary papers, said a Merry
Christmas" to our Swedish
friends, the Carlsons, had dinner
at the Eden hotel, our ''home"
when we visit Jerusalem, and
left our car near the hotel. We
took taxi to the border. AS you
so through the city, gradually
you see fewer people living in
the houses until finally there is
an area where all buildings are
empty. We are approaching "No
Mans Land which separates the
two parts of the city. At one
small wooden shack, list of
names is checked until your name
is found. From that spot we are
sent across the street to the
Israel customs officer who
checks anything we have to
declare and the amount of money
we have. Then we are told, You
may cross.
I have never before experience
ed the same feeling l had as we
picked up our baggage and left
Israel. Actually it was only a
matter of walking across about
200 yards of pavement, lined
with empty buildings, with bar
bed wire and rubble scattered
here and there. was not afraid.
But l couldn't help but wonder
what was ahead. | was aware of

the four of us walking side by
side, each carrying a small bag
wanting to visit the places that
mean so much to us Christians:
aware that we were leaving
Israel and the Jews and feeling
very much alone as we approach
ed Jordan and the Arabs. Per
haps the best way to describe it
is to say had an uneasy feeling
of adventure. 1t was rather like
being suspended, for few
minutes, on fragile wire be-
tween two peoples who were, at
the moment, enemies. l sent a
silent prayer to God to keep us
safe, and the first of many pray
ers for Peace.
The crowd Of civilian Arabs,
many of them watching for
friends to cross, was punctuated
by Arabs legionnaires, very trim
in their khaki-colored woolen
uniforms. Only the hats made
them look different from the
many uniforms we are used to
seeing in Israel. A shiny silver
spike tops the hats, and an extra
piece of cloth hangs from the
back of the hat to protect the
neck from cold in the winter and
from the sun in summer.
At the Jordan border were two
more "offices," shack and
across the street, a table. In the
building our passports were taken
by the customs officer and we
showed our pass, were asked if
we had anything to declare and
were escorted across the street.
There we were given back our
passports. (No piece of paper has
ever been more important than
passport which assures all that
we are American citizens. No
matter where we find ourselves,
when the passports are not in
our hands, we are uneasy. We
have found that everyone else
feels the same way.) There, too,
we exchanged travellers checks
for Jordan dinars and paid a sort
of entrance fee" Without a
word, we found ourselves in the
hands of a guide. We submitted
without question because we
wanted guide anyhow, and not
knowing how to go about finding
one, were glad to have one find
us. AS it happened, we were more
than pleased with his services
all the time we were in Jordan.
The guide, John, took us to the
headquarters of the guide service
in the National Hotel. There we
arranged for the tours we wanted
to take, checked our hotel res
ervations and started immediate
ly on walking tour of the Old
City. A taxi took us to Damascus
Gate, the gate through which we
passed from the newer section
of Jordan's Jerusalem into the
Old City. At that point it seemed
we were transported through
time to the ancient world. More
properly, it was only that we had
passed from western civilization
to eastern ways. But descriptions
in the Bible of ancient times seem
so similar to the eastern world
of today, that it seemed like a
time transference.
AS l looked at Damascus Gate,
it reminded me of a picture l
had seen somewhere of the
money-changers outside the
temple. Actually, of course, there
were no money changers, but

stalls. and the eastern dress
