wan Slight Favorite
Over CIV, Victor Only
Once in 8 Meetings
By George Huber
Stor Sfoff Correspondent

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Oct. "a.
George Washington University
football team takes on a rival it
has beaten only once and tied
once in eight attempts when it
meets William and Mary in the
latter's homecoming game this
afternoon.
Some of the worst beatings
Colonial football teams have
suffered were inflicted by W&M,
but nothing along that line is
in prospect this afternoon, with
the Indians so lightly favored
that the game could go either
way without surprise.
They last met in 1916, with
W&M winning, 300. The Co.
lonials also failed to score in the
two preceding games. losing 61-0
in 1912, and 48-0 in 1941. The
only CIV victory Q2-6) came
in 1882. They played a TT
tie in their first meeting in 1921.
George Washington plans to
return Bob Sturm, little sopho-
more from Oklahoma, to the
starting quarterback spot de-
spite a stiff shoulder that kept
him out of most of last weeks
27-6 loss to West Virginia. Also
listed to start are Halfbacks
Bill Weaver and Len Ciemniecki
and Fullback Dutch Danz.
W&M has had a lot of pub
licity on the small size of its
squad. Only 25 players are car
ried on the roster. and only 18
or 19 have been used in most
games. The Indians get a lot
of mileage from their players,
with such as Fullback Bill Bow
man, Quarterback Charlie Sum-
ner and Halfback Shorty Her
man still going strong toward
the end of each game after
nearly full-time participation.
The Indians enter today's
game with a 2-1-1 record, while
CIV has won two and lost two.

backer since coming into the
National Football League.
Meanwhile, the Colts are re-
ported ready to make it two
straight wins over their neigh
boring rivals. Baltimore's upset
9-3 victory in a preseason game
whetted the Colts appetite for
one that counted.
Baltimore received a blow
yesterday when Alex Agase, vet
eran linebacker and defensive
signal-caller, was declared def
nitely out of the game. His leg
was injured in the Colts loss to
Green Bay. Bill Pellington will
play his position, while the Job
of leading the defense will go to
Ed Sharkey.
The game will be broadcast
and televised in Washington
through the facilities of WMAL-
TV, starting at 2 o'clock, but
Baltimore officials, nevertheless,
expect several thousand Wash
ingtonians to make the trip. Ar
rangements have been made to

However, GustafSon was all

with a firm handshake at mid
field after the game, and the two
of them walked arm in arm to
the sidelines for a private con-
verSation.
Miami played Baylor. sixth
ranked in the Nation, here in
the Orange Bowl and Baylor was
outplayed in the second half
but won, 21-13. The field was
not muddy and there was only
one slight shower, contrary to
early reports that the rain and
mud hampered Baylor. The
consensus in the press box was
that there wasn't any compari-
son between unbeaten Bayloc
and unbeaten Maryland.
Maryland used all 38 players
against the Hurricanes. and Ber-

fit played only % minutes and

Penn Pinning Hopes
AGAINST Middies on
Gramigna S Arm
By q stoff Correspondent of The stur

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. a.
Navy's high-scoring eleven puts
it's undefeated record on the line
today against Penn, a team
which is more dangerous than its
won-loss column indicates.
Penn, facing a rugged Navy
forward wall, is expected to pin
most of its victory hopes on the
pitching arm of Quarterback Ed
Gramigna. Gramigna has COM
pleted ID passes for 178 yards in
20 attempts. He will be acting
captain in the absence of in
jured George Bosseler.
A crowd of $4,000 is expected
at Franklin Field for the game.
Leads Nation in Scoring.
While Navy has been rolling
up 152 points (highest in the
Nation among the major COL
leges> in winning three games
and tieing one. Penn has broken
even in four games. However,
the Quaker3 have faced a rough
er schedule and last week
dropped a 1875 decision to a good
Ohin Ctofo tooYo
The Middies, after an opening
6-6 deadlock with undermanned
William and Mary, trounced
Dartmouth and Cornell. Last
Saturday they ran rough shod
over Princeton, 65-7.
Penn won it's first two tests
by 1877 scores over Vanderbilt
and Penn State before being
trounced by California, 400. The
Ohio State test indicates Penn
can be expected to give Navy a
stiff battle.
Tough Against Middies.
The Quakers are always rug
ged against the Middies. Navy
hasn't won this rivalry which
dates back to 1888 since 1943.
Penn leads in the series 20 wins,
ID losses and three ties. Since
1927 when the annual competi-
ton was renewed each team has
won IL games with two ending
in ties.
Stopping Navy's talented backs
present a big chore for Penn.
The Middies Joe Gattuso, Bob
Craig, Phil Monahan, John
Weaver and George Welsh have
totaled close to 400 yards a
game on offense this season. The
Navy passing department will be
handled jointly by Quarterbacks
John Weaver and George Welsh.
