Problems Todoy
By Muriel Nissen

One Of the surest ways to lose
friehds and infuriate people is
to be a stickler for speaking my
own mind" One reason for the
unpopularity of this character
lstic is that it is evidenced only
when unpleasantries are about
to be disclosed.
For some reason, compliments
never seem to require plain
speaking. What outspokenneSs
actually amounts to is a mania
for fault-finding. How it ever
came to masquerade as virtue
is one of the mysteries in the
development of human emotions.
The sooner it departs behind the
iron curtain of expendable de-
ceivers, the sooner there will be
more room for tact and sincerity.
Naturally the gabby Nan.
whose chief pastime is picking
her neighbors to pieces, under
the guise of being frank and
honest, isn't going to admit to
the possession of something akin
to sadism.
It's no virtue to proclaim all
the unpleasant qualities Of an

Latfner Back Of Week
With Little Argument
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Almost
without argument, Notre Danes
All-America Johnny Lattner gets
this weeks call as Associated
Press back of the week for his
performance against Pennsyl-
vania last Saturday.
A number of other good run
nerS and pasSerS, including STAN
ford'S Bob Garrett, Jimmy Wade
of Tennessee, Larry Grigg of
Oklahoma and Bobby Cavazos of
Texas Tech, turned in standout
performances last Saturday, but
none could match Lattner in, the
Importance of their feats or in
the setting.
Lattner's one-man job made
the difference between a victory
for the Nations No. / college
team and a shocking upset. And
he did it before huge crowd in
a game on which national at
tention had been focused even
before the kickoff.
Garrett put on a passing ex-
hibition that smashed the Pa
-cif1c Coast Conference record
and led the former holder, Bob
Waterfield, to tab him as a
paSser who might be as good as
any professional except Otto
Graham and Norm Van BrockIin.
But he couldn't save the game
as Stanford lost, 1920, to South
ern California.
Garrett completed 20 of 81
passes for 324 yards and three
touchdowns and had only one
intercepted after connecting on
10 in succession.

Davidson Gives CIV
Chance 10 Reverse
Drop in Statistics

George Washington'S football
team didn't fare too well statis-
tically against Maryland. last
week. and only one player, Quar-
terback Bob Sturm, was able to
add to his average.
The Colonials standing in
Southern Conference statistics is
expected to rise this week how
ever when the Colonials play
Davidson at Davidson, N. C.. The
ColonialS will be favored over a
wildcat eleven that hasn't
stirred up a victory in seven
outings.
Sturm. a 5-foot-9, 168-pound
sophomore from Muskogee,
Okla, completed five of 10
passes against the >Terrapins.
The distance wasn't spectacular
"a total of 81 yards-but one
pass went for a touchdown and
Sturm now has gained 342 yards
through the air for the Co.
1onialS.
The five competitions raised
Bob's average from 400 to Alb
for this season and that rise was
the only percentage increase on
the CIV team. All the ball car
riers showed slight drop, even
Fullback Dutch DanZ, who was
best among the GWs with only
33 yards gained against the
TerrapinS. Dutch has dropped
from a little better than 4 yards
a carry to 3.8.
While Sturm does have a
reasonable amount of football
ability, he cannot be considered
one Of those naturally outstand-
ing athletes who easily does every
thing well. It takes a lot of
work and practice for him to
get ready for a game. He is
one of the hardest workers on
the CIV practice field and just
about the most attentive pupil.

Administrators of the Uni

Called to HagerStOwn.
In midseason this year, urges
got another baseball call. Gene
Raney, owner of the Hagerstown
club in the Piedmont League,
wanted him as manager. Jimmy
Zinn, second baseman and son
of a former pitcher for the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Cleveland In
dians, was unhappy in the dual
role of player and manager at
Hagerstown. Instead of taking
over the reins, JurgeS suggested,
he'd be pleased to give the young
man some voluntary help.
1t didn't work out that way.
Jurges soon found himself
running the club, and running
himself ragged. Up at 7 am,
he'd leave Washington at 4 pm.
and return home at 1870 am.
He maintained this routine from
July to Labor Day.
II enjoyed it," he says, but
his plans for next season in re-
gard to Hagerstown are un-
certain.
Hagerstown finished second
last season behind Norfolk, a
Yankee farm club.

only the best but the youngest
club in the league. In another

A high school fullback from
Evans City, Pa. who scarcely
had heard of the University of
Maryland in his pre-college days,
is one of the big reasons why
the TerpS are unbeaten and top
the Nation in rushing defense.
He is John (Buz) Irvine, the
Terps' center and linebacker.
John wasn't scheduled to be the
first string center this year, but
he was moved into the position
in preseason practice and he
just stayed there. He figures to
stay next year, too.
A few seasons ago Jack Henne-
mier, the Maryland coach with
the Pennsylvania contacts, went
to Coraopolis. Pa. to speak to a
prospective student. It was a
fruitleSs trip, but the high school
coach there said he had heard
of a real good football player at
Evans City. He couldn't think of
his name, however. In fact, he
didn't even know the coach's
name.
Hard to Locate.
Hennemier made a half-dozen
calls to Evans City but nobody
could spell the coach's name and
didn't know the name of the star
fullback. So Hennemier finally
drove over there and learned the
youngster was the bank presi-
dents son and a B plus student.
Irvine was interested in Ohio
State and had been contacted
by two or three other schools
but Hennemier talked him into
attending Maryland. But not as
a fullback. Hennemier wanted to
take advantage of Irvine'S line
backing talents. And that was
before two-platoon football was
outlawed. There was no way Of
knowing Irvine would have to
play offense.

Winter Slate Despite
Sponsors Revolt
BY The Associated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 11.-Horton
Smith Of Detroit will head the
Professional Golfers Association
for another year and the 1854
PEA tournament will be a match
play affair, as in 1858.
That much was certain, but
whether the PGA will be able to
overcome a revolt by 10-city
combine against its winter cir
cult tournament plans wasn't.
The concenSus, however, was
that Cary Middleton. circuit
star and co-chairman Of the
PGA Tournament Committee,
would be able to get a winter
slate together.
Some Coming to Terms.
Middleton, himself, claimed
that some of the 10 Western and
Southwestern cities represented
by the Winter Sponsors Associ-
alton were coming to terms, de-
spite the walkout Sunday of its
president. M. P. (Monk) Wilson
of San Antonio. Tex.
Wilson said his members
planned to go ahead with sched-
uled tournaments. whether or
not they got PGA demand for
a minimum purse of $4,000.
The Los Angeles Junior Cham
ber of Commerce. sponsor of the
Los Angeles Open, had agreed
to stage it's tournament without
a contract but to meet PGA
demands.
IL Cities Seeking Journeys.
Middlecof said II cities were
seeking winter tournaments, but
there were only IA week ends
after the bowl football games
and before the Masters Golf
Tournament scheduled at Au-
gusta, Ga, April 8-11. He con-
ceded 1t likely would be impos-
sible to make everybody happy.
A proposal to decide the winner
of the 1854 PGA Tournament
at st. Paul on a medal play basis
was voted down yesterday.
President Eisenhower was in
vited to become honorary chair
man Of the PGA and three vice
presidents were chosen to serve

FuHbock Turned Center HELPS
Terps to Top Place in Defense

Irvine is not a born football
player, he's self-made one. He
has bone growthS on his knees
and ankles, and is 4F in the
draft because of them. But he
has overcome these handicaps
with a tremendous desire to
play.
Last summer Hennemier gave
Irvine a football stuffed with
rags-to make it heavier-to
take home and practice center
ing. John had played about a
third of the time on defense
last year. With the new rule he
would have to learn to play Of
fenSe.
Student of Football.
Irvine has made a study of
football. That enabled him to
take quickly to blocking. He
calls the defensive signals for
the first team, makes adjust
menus Wnere necessary and adds
a little pep talk when the Terps
go fiat.
Irvine is not too fast because
Of his leg troubles, but he's first
down field under the kickoffs
because he gets a step or two
on some Of the boys who start
more slowly. Irvine is a Won
derful defensive player. On
offense John and Quarterback
Bernie Faloney have had only
one poor exchange this season
that one against George
Washington last week.
And while Irvine has played
a major role in Maryland's team
success, it also has been a big
season for him individually. He
blocked kick and recovered it
in the end zone for a touchdown
against Washington and Lee. It
reminded him of Evans City
days when John used to spend
half his time in the opposition's
end zone. -WHITTLESEY.

CHICAGO. Nov. 11.-Charles
A. ComiSkey was chauffeuring
the car. With him in the front
seat rode Paul Richards. In the
rear pew were Frank Lane, John
DUNCAN Rigney and a hitch
hiker. Richards was talking
about Frank Gabler, the former
pitcher for the Giants and White
Sox who now umpires along the
Pacific Coast.
Gabler was working the plate
this fall in game against the
Japanese All-Stars in California,
and Bill Wilson, the White Sox
outf1elder, was hitting with the

toward the distant stands.

UndresSed by Collision.
Frank was wearing the mask
and protector in another game
when he was called on to dash
toward third to rule on a close
play. In some unaccountable way,
he reached the bag just as the
runner did.
There was a collision. Gabler
was toppled head over heels. His
protector was torn free. His mask
flew away. Even one of his shoes
was wrenched off.
After the game he ran into
Richards. What did you think
about, lying there on the ground
in all that confusion?" Paul
asked. Gabler gave him a smirk
and replied: You know, Slug

Richards). if I'd a had a Murad
then, I'd a lit it. :"
There was a day in the Polo
Grounds when Dizzy Dean began
to warm up against the Giants.
Manager Bill Terry cased his
own mound staff. Everybody
had a sore arm except Carl Hub
bell, who had pitched the day
before. Finally Terry poked a
finger at Gabler. YOU" he said.
In the 18th inning Gabler and
Dean were locked in a tie. The
Cardinals got two men on base.
