euof. Pete FeFnacu ncIez Given
ovufion At Lions Club Meet:
Recounfs War Experiences
Jet Ace Feels
He Is Needed
In Korea To
Help Comrades

Captain Manuel "Pete"
Fernandez told a packed
dinner meeting of the Key
West Lions Club last night
that the reason he wants to
return to Korea, is the fact
he feels responsible for nine
younger and less experience
ed comrades. He pointed out
that the other men in his
flight have an average of but
$50 hours of flying time as
compared with his 5000
hours in the air.
II felt that / could help
train and guide those fell
lows" he said simply. Il was
having a good time, too" he
added with a grin.
A standing ovation and lifetime
membership in the Lions Club was
given to the 28-year old flier who
completed lbs fighter missions In
Korea and then asked for Is more.
In an off the cuff talk before the
Lions, Captain Fernandez told
them Of his experiences in Korea
ns much as he could without vic.
lating security regulations. He
pointed out that those in Korea
habitually have ignored the leng-
thy truce talks because there has
been a lot Of talking and nothing
happens. He expressed hope that
something may come of the pre-
sent talks, however.
FERNANDEZ told of why he is cred
tied with IA " Communist MICS.
He said that when two filters team
up to shoot down a plane ii is Gus.
tomary to split the credit. He re.
ported that the plane in question
was hit by his guns and started to
fall but that he broke off the en-
gagement and his wingmate came
in and finished the MIG off.
- offered to flip . coin with
him for the full credit, but he
Wouldnst buy that" Fernandez
said.
He pointed out that, actually,
American fliers have shot down a
lot more MICS than they have
been credited with since proof Is
often lacking that a kill has been
made. All of the American planes
carry s'gun cameras which are
Synchronized with the planes ma.

Photographic record of the action.
II the camera fails 10 record the

He added that the American Sa-

have come up against. Most Of his

Ned Mcdonald says he is feel
ing good today. The worst is
over. the Virginia University
football coach feels, and from
now until next September he will
be busy looking'for prospects.
If you are a high school senior
with football ability and a good
student, Mcdonald will want
you.
They have to make their
grades, though" Mcdonald
warns. Last year we lost seven
boys off our freshman team be-
cause of grades. We could fill
our quota of football players
overnight if it weren't for that
one thing-gradeS."
This, McDonald'S first season
as the Virginia head coach, was
the worst in the schools his
tory-one victory, eight losses.
But Mcdonald is not dis
couraged. So many things went
against him this season, he
figures the law of averages
should help him the next.
Injuries are an example. For
the second half against North
Carolina, Center Jim Pugh and
Tackle Bog Gut, converted CEN

John Polzer played center.

Michigan State. The Ga vote

from the Chicago meeting. Also

in by phone from Detroit. Girls

wins, one loss (34-7 to Wiscor-
SIM and one tie (21-2D by

However, some directors ap-
parently voted against the
Spartans because of their cur
rent probationary status for Ger
tain recruiting practices and be-
cause of their f1rSt-year standing
in the Big Ten. Other personal
factors might have entered in.
An item thought to have
worked against Illinois. in addi-
tion to its overall record, was
the fact that the Illini had made
two previous trips to the Rose
Bowl-in 1947 and 1852.
Illinois took the diSappoint-
ment quietly. Athletic Director
Doug Mills said he had no COM
ment to make.
Michigan State will be max
ing the eighth Pasadena appear

Mcdonald says. Cali season long
it has been the same story. All
of our backs were hurt at one
time or another except Pete
Potter"
Virginia's lone victory was
over George Washington, 24-2O.
1t was the only game in which
the Cavaliers scored more than
two touchdowns. They were
blanked twice-by South Caro-
lima and Pitt and scored only
once against VPI, VMI, Duke and
the Tar Heels.
Ed (Butch) Slaughter, ALL
America guard at Michigan in
1924 and an associate professor
of physical education at Vir-
ginia, is sending considerable
help to Mcdonald for next sea-

Slaughter is the Cavalier

60 in the ball game we were on
the short end Of the score by
seven points.
It was in the last 80 seconds
that I became as proud of our
team as I have ever been of
any team I've coached. Coach
ing football is a funny business.
You work SO hard to win every
game, and yet from seven vic
tories I didn't derive as much as
I did out of seeing Notre Dame
fight back against great odds
to tie a truly fine Iowa team.
We can have nothing but
praise for the work done by For
est EvashevSki, who definitely is
taking his place among the Ma
tion'S greatest coaches. In two
short years he has brought Iowa
to a position of prominence.
Hawkeyes React Quickly.
What impresSes me the most
is that he has done it with his
own system, which is bound to
win favor among many coaches
as his progress continues. The
most outstanding characteristics
of his team were it's overall
speed and ability to react quick
ly. Not once all day were we
able to get a man completely
in the clear behind his second
ary. On a couple of occasions
our man would get deep but the
Iowa back would recover fast
and catch up with him before
the paSser could hit him.
This remarkable ability to re-
act so quickly on both offense
and defense is a sign of real
good coaching. It indicates the
precision type of football for.
which Evashevski was famous
as he blocked for Tommy Har-
mon at Michigan.
Iowa displayed a fine blend of
split-T and single-wing football
which hurt us, but which didn't
give us as much trouble as its
defense did. We had to go to
the air for both touchdowns in
as thrilling a football game as
has been played at Notre Dame
Stadium in many a year. For
Iowa that was the end of one
of its finest seasons. For Notre
Dame there are two more games

the ball on a right-end run and
it rolled out of bounds on, the Is,
but not before Rusevlyan had
touched it with a diving re-
covery.
Less than three minutes of the
fourth quarter had elapsed when
st. Johns got the rest of it's
points. McCaleb, running from
the 7-yard line as a result of
Dave Shannon's out-of- bounds
punt, fumbled again and
Rusevlyan picked up the ball on
the first bounce on the 5 and
ran through the end zone. This
time he kicked the extra point.
Two interceptions, one by
Rusevlyan and another by Chris
Gilbertson, stopped the Eagles
the only other times they got the
ball. Rusevlyan tried a field
goal from the 19 shortly after
his touchdown but it was barely
off line.
Ex-PIayer Given Ball.
Joe Gallagher, st. Johns
coach, gave the game ball to
Tom Duffy Fletcher, who came
down with a heart. condition as
a sophomore two years ago. "He
was a terrific tackle" Gallagher
explained, land he would have
been on this team"
Gallagher could find fault with
none of his boys. Rusevlyan,
Shannon, Tuenis and Gailliot
were outstanding to every one,
but Healy, Dent, Burch and
Mark Murtaugh also got praise
from their coach.
We've been aching for an
other try at Carroll, and now
we've got it," Gallagher said.
Rusevlyan, who gained 81
yards in IL carries besides his
defensive heroics, summed up
the spirit of the squad in the
dressing room when he shouted:
We've never played on a st.
Johns football team that didn't
win the championship. Let's not
start now."

CIV, 35; Richmond, !.

Saturdays game was a bit
more one-sided than it figured to
be. The Richmond team ap-
peared a bit fiat, and seemed just
to be playing out the schedule
after losing it's homecoming
game by a lopsided score the
week before.
This ended the season for CIV
with S won, 4 lost. The players
would like to have back two of
those losing games to play over
again-Virginia and William &
Mary. They think they should
have or could have won those
two. Be that as it may, the CO.
lonials now have had two win
ming seasons in a row under
Coach Bo Sherman, something
that had not happened for a
long time previously.
Looking ahead to next year,
the ColonialS will miss a big
chunk from the middle of their
line. Six of the seven Zen who
played their last game Saturday
were linemen-including Center
Steve Korcheck. the outstanding
individual player all season.
There are some fair reserve line
men who will move up, but there
is no doubt that Korcheck, Carl
Bodolus, Dick Drake, Johnny
Prach, Tom Bosmans and Bill
Neal will be sorely missed.
The other senior is Quarter
back Ray Fox, the total oIfense
leader on the team. and while
the ColonialS could use his kind
of passing and running next
year, they are in excellent-al-
most Superior-Shape for re-
turning backf1eld men.

Mullins, who has defeated

Braverman is high on Mullins.
"He is a better fighter at this

Bossio, who has fought Smith

UCLA to Be Named Today
To Represent West Coast

CHICAGO, Nov. % P).-
Michigan State emerged from a
furry of weekend telephone
calls, kilograms, secret meetings
and repeated balloting as the Big
Ten choice for the Rose Bowl.
The Spartans opponent in the
annual January / classic at Pas
adena will be UCLA, the Pacific
Coast Conference champion,
which will be formally appoint
ed today.
Big Ten athletic directors
chose Michigan State over Illi-
nois. a team the Spartans tied
for the conference champion
ship at five victories and one loss
each.
Commissioner Kenneth L.
(Tug) Wilson took the first
sounding of sentiment Satur-
day night by telephone and tele-
gram. Several such ballots
were deadlocked, five for Mich
igan State, five for Illinois.
Failing to reach a decision by
long distance. Wilson sum-
moned the group to Chicago for
a Sunday meeting. which lasted
about IL hours. Reporters were
advised that it was going on
but Wilson wouldn't tell them
just where.

had at George Washington. The
players liked it and so did the
coaches.
One-platoon football showed
CIV it had good offensive
quarterback in Bob Sturm. He
was a defensive gem as q fresh
man safety man last year. and
one of the questions was whether
he could make the change. But
he developed gradually over the
season until at the end he had
beaten out a senior for the start
ing job.
One-platoon football also gave
CIV an all-around fullback in
Joe Boland, who blossomed out
with five touchdowns in the last
two games. He was a defensive
man who wasn't used much
early in the season except when
the ColonialS needed him, par
ticularly for defense. He also
gradually was able to show the
coaches he was good on offense,
too, and he figures to be one Of
the important men on next
years team.
One-platoon football also hurt
here and there. Take Halfback
Len Ciemniecki, for instance. A
fine offensive runner and pass
catcher, he was a bit slow to
grasp his defensive duties. His
shortcomings on defense hurt his
all-around play. Toward the end,
though, he was getting the hang
of it, and next year will see
Ciemniecki back as a good man
on defense and once again the
serious offensive threat he was
all last year when he was the
teams leading scorer.
There were no serious injuries
because of one-platoon football,
in fact the Colonials had less in
juries both minor and serious
than in previous years.

they're tremendously improved.
And what a player that Rusey-
lyn is. Any team is lucky to
have a boy like that"
But John Carroll figures to
have the advantage in condi-
ton. No less than five St.
Johns first-Stringers suffered
injuries in yesterdays games.
Rusevlyan pulled a tendon in
his left elbow. Fullback Phil
Mudd had a cleat mark in his
left knee, trampled in the sec
ond quarter. Center Scott Teu-
mis- has a possible dislocated
finger on his left hand. Bob
Gailliot, who was outstanding
at guard. has a bruised left knee.
And Al Burch. who didn't play
much at his right end position,
reinjured his elbow and got a
severe charley horse during his
scant activity in the second half
The result yesterday can be
attributed directly to the fum-
bling. Gonzaga fumbled three
times and the Cadets got every
one. with Ruselvyan making two
recoveries. ST. Johns lost one
of it's two fumbles.
Break Opens Scoring.
The first break came with
about 3 minutes left in the open
ing quarter when Jim CBubba)
Healy. Cadet guard, came up
with Ray Smiths tumble on the
Eagles 36-yard line. Three runs,
including Mudd's 13-yard burst
through left tackle. got to the
% and Karl Smith passed to
Dick Dent on the S and the right
end went over. Rusevlyan circled
right end for the extra point.
Midway in the second quarter,
Rusevlyan was chased back to
the Gonzazga 40-yard line while
trying to pass. The ball was
shaken from his hand and rolled
to the Cadet 48, where. Tackle
Mike Williams grabbed it for the
Eagles. Two plays later Billy
O'Brien threw to Smith on the
80 and the 5-foot, 160-pounder,
raced over the goal untouched
and then kicked the extra point.
That was Gonzaga's only COM
pleted pass of the afternoon.
The Eagles threatened to go
ahead when they took the
second-half kickoff and moved
to st. Johns 22-yard line in six
running plays. But Jack Nc
Caleb, Gonzaga's leading ground
gamer yesterday. lost control of
