News Of Music
By Alice Eversmon

Young Michael Ponti, who
astonished the local music public
with his extraordinary pianistic
talent when he was in the
neighborhood of six years Of age,
came as a mature musician to
the Phillips Gallery last night.
The program presented by the
15-year-old pianist tested the
quality of his powers in various
ways and his playing showed
that the road is clear for him to
become an artist Of distinction.
His recital follows the winning of
the Music Teachers Association
Honor Award of this season.
The priceless gifts of sensitivity
and poetry are already a major
lpart of Young Ponti's equipment.
They are natural to him and are
visible not only in his interpreta-
tions but in the character of his
tone and in the manner OF his
phrasing. When they are scaled
eventually to bigger effects and
given the freedom that comes
from the assurance gained in
continual public appearances, he
should take his place as one Of
the ideal interpreters of keyboard
music.
His affinity with the delicate
and descriptive in music was
illustrated in his delivery of
Ravel's "Ondine," and the Cho-
pin "Etudes," particularly of the
first of opus Is which was beau
tifully liquid in fluency and tonal
quality. The ripe junction of
idea and technique found ex-
preston in the flowing line of
"Ondine" where he was more
successful in re-creating the
style of the work than many an
older pianist.
This same ability points him
out as a future Mozart player
of perception. He has the refine
ment of style especially adapted
to the Sonata in c Minor" to
which he brought a notable
lyricism and dynamic restrain.
The color nuances were nicely
achieved and the limpid ease
of his execution in the final
movement was done with a
delicate touch. Bachs English
Suite No. g." the first number,
contained also appreciation of
style. of contrasts, and of &C
cents.
Not all of his playing is
equalized or as robust as it
could be, from the technical side.
Debussy's "Children's Corner"
suite and Barber's Sonata, op.
g." were delivered with greater
freedom and more resonant tone,
demonstrating that power is also
available when desired. He is
fortunate that his development so
far has not sought the virtuoso
plane as much as the poetic so
that he is grounded in an angle
of Interpretation difficult to &C
quire it effort toward breadth
and bigness were demanded at
the beginning. What might still
be wished for in his performance
will come with time. At present,
he has made evident a real tai
ent that gave an individual
sheen to his recital last night.

potentialities of the orchestra

presentation was worked out in
every detail, with Patrick Hayes
as narrator before each scene.
The English translation proved
invaluable for the understand

the case of Abrasha Robofsky
whose diction in the title role
was exemplary. The disciplined
playing of the musicians was
excellent and the incidental soil
of Paul de Bourg, cellist, in the
overture, and of Robert Spindler,

Football League statistics re-
leased today.
Otto Graham of Cleveland,
leading the pasSers last week, still
remains at the top He has
pitched the Browns to five
touchdowns and has scored six
as ball carrier. Graham thus

their rather public field at the
south end of Highway Bridge.
Yesterdays drill was spent
mostly on pass defense, which
has had its moments of weak
ness, and on defense against
punt returns, which has been
superior all season.
Although CIV has excelled in
punt return defense so far, it
faces a team Saturday that has
been particularly good in that
department. Only last week
Chet Hanulak brought back a
kick for IS yards and touch
down against South Carolina.
Pass defense has been about
the most glaring weakness in the
Colonials' games, although they
haven't consistently been soft
touches for passes. In almost
every game, however, the air
defenses have broken down for
a few minutes, and the opposition
usually took advantage of it.
Eddie league, Maryland scout
who has been following CIV,
said yesterday he would suggest
to his head coach that Maryland
do more passing against George
Washington than did either of
the Coloniels' last two opponents,
William and Mary and Washing
ton Lee.
That's no guarantee that
Coach Jim Tatum of Maryland
will order his team to take to the
air. but it does show that the
Terrapins have a weakness
spotted there.
In practice today emphasis
was to be placed on keeping the
CIV attack going inside the 20
yard line. All season the team
has moved we'll until almost to
the goal and there frequently

Redskins RATE Cards,
Overdue 10 Explode,
Toughest Foe So Far
By Lewis +. Atchison

The Redskins should be slight
favorltes over the Chicago Cardi-
mails for their game at Griffith
Stadium Sunday, but Coach
Curly Lambeau can think of a
dozen reasons why they shouldn't
be.
Lambeau, with three straight
defeats bounding him, wants to
get back in the win column. One
can imagine the feelings of Coach
Joe Stydahar of the Cardinals,
who has watched his men drop
six straight. That's one reason
why the Redskins have a man.
sized job on their hands.
It was almost "a million to
one" that the Cards wouldn't
lose their first six game this
season. Not with men like
Charlie Trippi, Johnny Olszew-
ski and Don Paul in their back
field. They almost defeated the
Redskins in the opening game
of the season, losing on fun
bled punt and a referees de-
cision again them on a fourth
down try for a first down.
Beaten by Desperation Pass.
Last Sunday the Cards had
the New York Giants beaten
with q seconds to play, but
lost when the New Yorkers COM
pleted a desperation pass for a
touchdown.
They're due to explode" Lam
beau said today, "and I look for
it to happen right here against
u.s."
Lambeau feels that the Cards,
in their present mood, will be
tougher than the Browns or
anybody else the Redskins have
faced this year. A good team,
and the Cards have the per-
sonnel to be a good team, keeps
coming back until it gets a
winner.
The Cards have the horses to
do the job Sunday. They have
three passers in Jim Root, rookie
from Miami; Steve Romanik,
refugee from the Bears, and Ray
Nagel, another first-year man
from UCLA, whose percentage of
completions is better than
Washington's pair.
In Don Stonesifer the Cards
have the leagues top pass re-
ceiver. The one-time North
western star has caught So passes
for 435 yards and one touch
down. While Stonesifer doeSn't t
go for six points every time, he
puts the ball in position for his
running mates, or for field goals
by big George Summerall, who
began the year with the Detroit
Lions.
DrazenOvich Visiting Doctor.
Fullback Chuck Drazenovich,
still a question mark, was sched-
uled to visit the doctor again
today about his ailing leg. The
team could use him nicely.
Meanwhile, Lambeau has moved
Paul Barry into the fullback slot,
pending the complete recovery
of both Drazenovich and Leon
Heath.
Lambeau also is satisfied that
Gene Pepper and Bill Hegarty
will bolster the line. Pepper has
added a welcome spark of en-
thusiasm to the atmosphere and
seems to be in fairly good shape.

Saturday partially was his fault.
He made a substitution when
the Gamecocks had the ball on
the Maryland Vineyard line and
Johnny Granting, the Carolina
quarterback. ran right over the
new player for eight yards to
the one.
Tatum explained that the new
player had figured Granting for
a pass, when everybody else di-
agnosed it as a running play.
The Maryland mentor added
that the Gamecocks were inside
the 15-yard line several other
times and didn't score, and he
doesn't believe they would have
scored when they did except for
the one mistake.
George Washington went to
a more secluded practice spot
yesterday and Maryland asked
for campus police guards on
the roads near the practice field,
but to have heard Tatum at the
luncheon you wonder why.
"They run the same plays that
we do, with a few more pass
patterns" he said. It all goes
back to previous lecture by
Big Jim, when he said it was the
defenses to be used against them
that bother coaches-not the Of
fenSeS.
Tatum said he felt sure the
colleges would ask the pros to
stop televising Saturday night
games after this year. "They
don't have to listen. but, after
all. colleges are the farm system
for the pros, and it would be to
their advantage to cooperate
with us" he added.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-College
football officials agreed today for
the most part that there are
certain abuses in the sport. but
none went so far as the NCAA
president. who would abolish the
game unless it is cleanSed Of
hypocrisy. Skulduggery and
cheating"
DR.. A. B. Moore. president of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association and faculty chair
man of athletics at Alabama,
said the blame for current evils
is shared by alumni, parents of
athletes, coaches and college Of
ficials. He made the charge in
a speech at Talladega, Ala.
Matty Bell. veteran Southern
Methodist University athletic di-
rector, agreed that there are
some evils in some places.
And we should have the cour-
age to admit it, and make every
effort to eliminate it," he said.
But I don't know of any vio-
lations now in the Southwest
Conference. In my % years in
the conference I've never known
of less suspicion and criticism
among the schools"
Sees Many Athletic Benefits.
Moore, who also is dean of the
graduate school at Alabama, said
he has seen many of the bene-
fits from intercollegiate athletics
and he was advocating operating
on the patient and not killing
him"
Il expect there always will be
some abuses in intercollegiate
athletics because of its highly
competitive nature" Ike Arm
strong, MinneSota's athletic di-
rector, said. Colleges and uni
versities should promote only the
type of intercollegiate programs
that administrators, faculties
and governing boards feel to be
honest, constructive and worth
while"
THE alumni" Moore also said,
"would rather go on cheating
than expose others who are
cheating. You may read that
the NCAA has caught 10 or IL
schools but not nearly enough is
being done"

any movement that will help

mented.

Moore) speaks about are very
isolated but I wouldn't doubt
that there continues instances
Of over-enthusiaStic alumni max
ing promises or under the table

President Moore in saying these
things should be corrected but I
don't think there is too much
the schools can do about it."
Don Faurot, Missouri coach
and president of the Football
Coaches Association, was en-
phatic in support of Moores
statements.
These evils can be controlled
if the university administration
wants to control them" Faurot
said. But so far very few COL
lege administrations have been
willing to buck alumni pressure
to do it," He added that most
of the trouble is caused by "out-
side money" - money from
alumni-that does not go through
the university under an athletic
scholarship program.
James T. Penny, president of
the Atlantic Coast Conference,
questioned the accusations. He
said. "People shouldn't make
charges of hypocrisy, skuldug-
gerry and cheating in college
football unless they can come
forth with information to prove
them"
