United JeWishAppeaI
Raises S14,073,OOO,
SO Per Cent Of Goal
ey the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 12.-Pro-
ceeds of $14.973. 900 were report
ed yesterday in the United Jew
lsh Appeal. The figure is ap-
proximately so per cent of the
$25 million goal sought for the
last four months of this year.
In closing a two-day national
report conference, the UJA
adopted a measure authorizing
a special dollar raising drive in
November and December, in an
effort to exceed the goal.
Yesterdays total, added to the
cash receipts since the first of
the year, brought UJA's income
Tor the first nine months to $59,-

is reached, the annual total will
be close to $40 million.
All Of these funds are used for
reconstruction, settlement, well
fare and rehabilitation programs
in Israel and other parts of the
world. UJA finances these pr D.
grams by allocating it's funds to
three constituent agencies, the
United Israel Appeal, the Joint
Distribution Committee and the
United Service for New Ameri-
cans.
More than 1000 campaign
leaders turned in their reports
from the cities they represented.
Joseph Hoffman of Detroit.

set in order to finance these
projects in Israel: Creation of
four new farm settlements for
immigrants, expansion of irri-
cation to make another 1880

600 housing units. and help for
$4,000 aged, sick and handi-

If Alabama plays it smart
against Maryland Saturday, the
Crimson Tide linemen will be
instructed to treat Stanley Jones,
the Terps' titanic tackle, with
the utmost respect.
Jones is about to make at
least three of the major ALL
America teams, and one of the
reasons is that Ole Miss made
him mad last Saturday in Mary
lands $50 rout of the Rebels.
Ordinarily, the 252-pound
"Supe" (short for Superman) is
peace-loving guy who loves
football on Saturday afternoons
from 2 to 4:30, but hates prac-
tice.
When the season started the
Maryland coaches were afraid
he wasn't mean enough to make
All-American, because Stanley
wasn't too hot on the idea of
playing defense under the new
one-platoon system. He had
played some defense in his fresh
man year, stayed out of football
one season, and then played two
1yoorc of ofYopco
Everybody Sees Tackles.
But as the season has pro-
gressed, Jones has taken to his
defensive job and that's why he's
going to be All-American. It's
tough making an All-American
team on blocking. opening holes
and protecting passers. You
have to make those tackles when
everybody's looking.
Stanley thinks football is a lot
Of fun and hopes to continue his
career with the Chicago Bears
next year, but for a while last
Saturday he lost his sense of hu-
NOR. He was drafted last year
when his class was graduated.
Ole Miss was giving him the
business and he finally was fiat
on his back halfway through the
first quarter.
Trainer Duke Wyre went out
with the smelling salts, the team
took time out and in a couple of
minutes Jones was ready to go.

some of them moral victories"
for Kentucky.
Tennessee has taken special
delight in trimming Kentucky's
finer teams. Kentucky's 1851
Cotton Bowl champions were
beaten, $50. by the Vols. The
1850 team that rather easily
handled Oklahoma in the Sugar
Bowl lost it's only game in II
during the season to Tennessee.
And so it goes.
There never has been a guar
anteed explanation for Tennes-
sees strange upper hand. It's
desire to win hasn't been greater
than Kentucky'S. It's talent
hasn't always been more pro-
nounced.
Some observers figure factor
is Tennessee's employment of the
single-wing style of attack. an
offensive rarely found in modern
football. But Kentucky hasn't
had too much difficulty in stop
ping the Vol offense. Its trouble
has been inability to do any
scoring of it's own.

Mehre Says Alabama Victory
Oyer Tech Was No Accident

Harry Mehre, the former Geor-
gias and Mississippi coach who
writes with authority on football
for the. Atlanta Journal Consti-
tuition. comes in handy again
with his analysis of Alabama's
upset triumph over Georgia Tech
last SatHgday.
The Tide, finishing with its
usual November flourish, meets
Maryland Saturday afternoon at
College Park.
Mehre writes that Alabama
deserved to win and, man-for-
man, was a better ball club than
Georgia Tech, ranked fifth in the
Nation last week.
And, although Mehre did not
dwell on this, Alabama won with
out it's regular quarterback. Bart
Starr, and only limited service
from it's star halfback. Corky
Tharp. Both were injured. but
are expected to play against
Maryland.
In fact, Eddie league, one of
the Maryland scouts, reports
Starr was warming up on the
sidelines and appeared ready to
play if needed.
Mehre wrote that Alabama
was a smarter defensive team
and stopped Techs wide attack

Eastern faced Western for the
second time in FIVE days this aft

the first of a two-game playo6
at Eastern Stadium to decide
the Eastern Division football
championship Of the District In
terhigh League. Starting time
was 2::30 p. m.
The winner will face Anacostia
tomorrow, same time, same
place, and the survivor will play
Roosevelt, the Western Division
champion, for the Interhigh title
at Griffith Stadium Friday
night.
A last-minute decision late
yesterday changed the Eastern
Division playoff from a double
header to be played this after
noon to an arrangement that
calls for single games today and
tomorrow.
Hardy Pearce. assistant di-
rector Of athletics for the Dis
trict's Division I schools, ex-
planned that the decision was
made in order to give the winner
of today's Eastern Western
game a full days rest before
taking on AnacoStia.
Only two hours before the final
arrangement was announced,
Pearce, busy with plans for the
double-header. was announcing
change in time for the twin
bill.
Denies Any Pressure.
Protests had been voiced over
the week end by some parents
and at least two high school Or
ganizations over the double
header arrangement. These pro-
tests may have had bearing on
the decision to change the play
off to a two-day setup. although
Pearce claims that no pressure
was aimed at him and that he
received no phone calls on the
matter yesterday.
AS planned originally, the
games today and tomorrow will
be limited to 80 minutes each
four eight-minute quarters
with five minutes intermission
at halftime. In case Of a tie in
either game, the winner will be
decided by awarding points to
the teams on the basis of pene-
trations into their opponents
territory.
The special playoff was forced
by an unprecedented three-way
tie for the lead in the Eastern
Division. Eastern, Western and
Anacostia ended their regular
seasons last Friday, all with 80
league records.
AnacoStia in Best Shape.
Anacostia, which lost to West
