And guess what they wanted
me to do at Camp Stone (Calif) d.
They wanted me to play football
instead of going home for 80
days. l couldn't see that. I

Leftwich went home to see his
parents, his four sisters and
three brothers, but got back to
Japan in time to play in the last
two games.
He played with another team
in 1850, but missed the 1851 sea-
son. He was spending that
period in Korea and after eight
months there was sent back to
the States on rotation and
wound up playing for Belvoir.
LeftWich, though, is not a
career soldier.

II want to go to college," he
says. Il have offers from some
colleges for football, but l think
I'll go on the CT bill. I think
maybe I'll take up electrical en-

Playing with Leftwich in the
Engineer backfield will be such
name stars as Don Engels of
Illinois. Ed Kissell of Wake For

There will be number of for
mer college and pro football
stars on the field at Griffith
Stadium Thanksgiving Day when
Fort Belvoir meets the Quantico
Marines in charity game Spon-
Sored by the Variety Club.
There also will be in the Fort
Belvoir backfield a stocky Negro
named Jim Leftwich, who never
went to college and is serving his
third hitch in the Army.
LeftWich didn't join the Army
with any IDEAS of playing foot
ball, but he has a stack of let
ters from many colleges through
out the country that bear testi-
mony to his ability.
HE has several pro scouts in
terested in him." Coach Al Davis
says. The coach thinks Lett
wich would have little trouble
making any team.
Get this" Davis added. Left
wich has carried the ball for us
33 times and has gained 358
yards. That's an average of
10.9 yards.
Great Kicker. Too.
HE is a terrific back, a
speedster. Besides that, he's a
great punter. He has averaged
80 yards on his punts. He had
two bad kicks that brought his
average down some"
Leftwich, who comes from the
coal mine region of West Vir-
ginia, looks like a lighter version
of Buddy Young. He stands
5 feet : 61a and weighs 165
pounds. He played high school
football at Dubois High in Mount
Hope. w. Va, and Joined the
Army in 1916 Immediately after
being graduated.
"Football?" he says. "No, I
thought was through with foot
ball when I joined the Army" :"
Sent to Japan.
After basic training at Fort
Mcclellan, Ala, Leftwich was
shipped to Japan for duty with
the 933d Anti-Aircraft Battalion.
II was attached to guard
company" he says. 1--WE had to
stand guard around the piers
where the ships came in. 1
didn't get to play football in
1916.
But the next year they put
out some teams on the battalion
level and I went out. I just
liked football"
Leftwich's team won one out
of nine games that season. The
following season, 1948, they COM
bined three battalions, picking
the best players from each, and
that team, the 138th Group, won
all its games except the final
one against the 229th Ordnance
for the Army championship of
Japan.
That season earned Leftwich
a reputation as football player,

be the SD renewal of one of the
longest unbroken prep school
rivalrieS in the country. The
Alexandria school holds one
game edge in the series-24 vic

seventh straight year without
defeat.
Episcopal also is trying to
duplicate its 1947 season record
Of nine victories without a loss.
The Maroons, led by Fullback
John Burress, Halfback Fletcher
Carter and Guard Nelson Wat

cial ceremonies are being planned
to honor the seniors. These men
probably will play in the Orange
Bowl against Oklahoma New
Years Day, but this is their fare
well to Byrd Stadium.
The entire backfield, Bernie
Faloney at quarterback, Chester
Hanulak and Dick Nolan at the
halves and Ralph FELTON, at full
back, will bow out. along with
both tackles, Stanley Jones and
Blubber Morgan, and Marty
Crytzer at left end. The others
are Charley Lattimer, the alter

Jones and Faloney are certain
to make many of the recognized
All-America teams and Hanulak,
whose 9.3 average tops the Ma
ton in rushing, is a good bet
for some of the second teams.
He might be higher, but because
OF the Terps' depth he has played
only a little over half of each
game.
Alabama hasn't lost since that
September Shocker to Mississippi
Southern, but the Tide has been

Starr and Tharp Available.
Alabama beat Georgia Tech
last week with its top quarter
back, Bart Starr, on the side
lines with injuries and with
Corky Tharp. the leading ground
gamer of the Southeastern Con-
ference, seeing limited duty for
the same reason. Starr's capable
replacement, Albert Elmore, is
listed to start against Maryland,
but Starr will be available. Tharp
apparently is all right.
Drew, coach-o -the-year in
the Southeastern Conference
last year, emphasizes the split-T
but also has plays from the
Notre Dame shift. Starr caught
the only touchdown pass of his
career from the Notre Dame shift
last year.
The Tide has attempted only
six more passes than the TerpS
this year, 80 of them by Starr,
which means both teams en-
phasize running game. Bobby
Luna who enjoyed a big game
against the Terps last year, and
Bill Stone are next to Tharp in
rushing. There's not a senior
in the three-deep Bama back
field. OF course Alabama is
meeting a Maryland team ranked
first in rushing defense, and
with five shutouts.
The Tides top linemen are
Bill Willis, captain and end, and
Ralph Carrigan, center. The
teams are comparatively even in
weight. Willis. Tharp and Luna
are the top receivers and Starr
does most of the punting.

attendance can lawfully be re-
CURED although defendants at all
times have been ready, able and

such school.

jurisdiction or control, while
white children similarly situated
attend a school over which the
town authorities have complete

CONTROL is to deny equal pro-

If the segregation laws could
