Films Show CoIonioIs' Score
Came on Botched Mdneuver

A study of the movies of last
Saturdays Maryland George
Washington game shows that
GW's lone touchdown, in the Sec
ond period, was not a perfectly
executed play. In fact, it was
messed up quite a bit, and the
Marylanders at least claim that
if the play had been run per-
tectly it wouldn't have gone for
a touchdown,
This is a pitchout and pass
play to the left, and was good for
at least one touchdown earlier
in the year. CIV has used it a
number of times, and it was no
new thing to the Maryland
scouts.
AS the play starts from the
split-T formation, Quarterback
Bob Sturm drifts to his left on
what starts out like the option
play. He pitches back to Half
back Bill Weaver. who in turn
passes deep to End Ritchie Gas
kell, who has run over in the
left corner.
What happened Saturday is
that Sturm got half spun around

GoviIun's Protest
Fails to Blacklist
Doty as Referee
BY the Associofed Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Bill Doty,
despite the protests of the Kid
Gavilan camp, remains on the
list of eligible referees for the
Gavilan-Johnny Bratton welter-
weight title fight in Chicago
Stadium Friday.
Angel Lopez, Gavilan's man
ager, yesterday asked the Illinois
Athletic Commission to blacklist
Doty, who refereed a stadium
bout between the two fighters in
1851 and voted for Bratton.
The 1851 bout, an overweight
non-title affair, ended in a draw
as one of the judges voted for
Gavilan and the other called it
a standoff. Gavalin subse-
quently charged Bratton, a Chi
cago boy, got a "home- town de-
ciSion."
The Illinois commission re-
fused to go along with Lopez in
his request. Chairman Living
Ston Osborne said mo one can
dictate to the commission"
Meantime, both fighters were
busy preparing for the Friday
night match. which will be their
third meeting. Earlier in 1851
Gavilan beat Bratton for the
Welter title.

ter, and drifted right instead of
left. The CIV linemen on the
right side of the line dropped
back a step or two, as they are
supposed to do on plays to the
left. Sturm got tangled with
and bounced off at least two of
them, and for a split second or
so confusion reigned behind the
CIV line.
This momentary snafu sucked
in the Maryland defense, which
saw what appeared to be run
to the right that wasn't working
too well. Thus Gaskell was left
unattended near the goal line.
Meanwhile, Quarterback Sturm
was having trouble keeping from
stumbling over his own linemen,
and finally got rid of the ball
with a long pitchout over to
Weaver on the left side, where
he was supposed to be. BY that
time the ball was a real hot po-
tato, and Weaver also quickly
got rid of it with a looping pass
to GaskelT, who had no opposi-
ton and stepped over the goal.

Troy-Sandy Winner
May Meet Olson for
Title Here in Spring

Promoter Goldie Aheain, who
is putting on tomorrow nights
middleweight fight at Turner's
Arena between Willie Troy and
Randy Sandy. is working to get
Bobo Olson in Washington for
defense of his middlewelght title
and thinks he has it.
Goldie says he received wire
last night from Jim Norris. pres
ident of the International Box
ing Club. promising Olson for a
title bout in Washington next
spring, probably in May.
That is all Goldie needed to
start calling his Troy Sandy bout
tomorrow night the warmup for
a title match. with the winner
getting the shot at Olson. That
may not be quite accurate, but
it is a good talking point be-
cause both of tomorrow nights
principals at least get mention
on the current National Boxing
Association rating list.
Both fighters are well-known
television performers, and there
seems to be late surge Of in

going in an important race and
want a rider who can bring him

is your man"
There is voluminous evidence
to support this statement.
Smirke has won the EPSON
Derby three times, with Windsor
Lad in 1884, on Mahmoud IN
1886, and with Tulyar last year.
Tulyar was in the news later,
creating an upheaval in Ireland
when purchased by the irish
government from the Aga Khan
for $75O,O00 for stud duty
Smirke was Tulyar'S jockey in
all of his races last year.
Laurel fans will remember
Smirke as the jockey who rode
the roguish zucchero into third
place behind Wilwyn and Rune
in last years International. He
is given a better chance tomor-
row on Worden II. although a
heavy course may not be suited
to Smirke's come-from- behind
tactics.
It is interesting to note, too,
that Worden II is trained by
another EPSON Derby winner in
George Bridgland, the pleasant
young man who began condition
ing horses not long after his
victory on Pearl Diver in the
1947 running of the English
classic.
AS if Worden II was not sur
rounded by enough color, his
owner. Ralph Strassburger, is
American born. and was Naval
Academy football player nearly
so years ago. He still is the

CoIoniaIs Expecting
To Whip Davidson;
Team in Good Shape
By GEORGE Huber

George Washington'S football
team is ready to get back its
winning ways in Saturdays
game against Davidson at David
son, N. c.
The ColonialS came away from
Saturdays losing game against
Maryland without an injury. and
will be solid favoriteS against the
Wildcats, who haven't been able
to scare up a victory in seven
games this season. CIV has won
three and lost four, and needs
to win both this game and
against Richmond the following
Saturday to finish on the plus
side of their on-and-loSt ledger
The final bit of business of
the Maryland game was polished
off yesterday when Coach Bo
Sherman and his staff studied
movies of their 27-6 loss to the
TerrapinS. After running through
the films several times, Sherman
declared, For a game as hard
fought as it was, between TWO
neighborhood teams, 1t was Lne
cleanest game I ever saw" That
was proven, he said, by the fact
that neither team had an IN
jured player.
Maryland" he added, "has
the finest team I've seen in many
and many a day, and it certainly
deserves all the success it's had"
One of the players last week
who was something a standout
for the first time was End George
Dancu, particularly on defense
He's a 6-foot-1 sophomore from
Sharon, Pa, who is just round
ing into form as a two-Way
player. The Colonial coaches
are pleased they'll have him
around for two more years.
Of the field, Dancu has to
wear glasses, and without them
he is as blind as bat" That
handicap has been overcome by
contact lenses. He's had them
for the last two games, and the
improvement in his play has
been marked.
Halfback Lou Donofrio is
another Colonial who practically
was unnoticed earlier in the sea-
son but who now is earning a
more important place. He also
is a sophomore from West
Orange, N. j., who looms large in
future CIV plans.
Lou was a defensive player un-
der the two-team plan last year.
and has had trouble fitting into
the offense because he lacks
speed. The coaches have been
working on that item, though,
and Lou is learning to pick up
his feet a bit more rapidly.

Carter and Savoie
Finish Training for
Title Bout Tomorrow
BY the Asseeiuted Press


MONTREAL. Nov. 1O.-Cham-
pion Jimmy Carter and Challen-
ger Armand Savoie have finished
their training for tomorrow's
fight for the world lightweight
championship.
From Willie Ketchum, the
champions manager, came word
he's out for "a square deal this
time"
Savoie last spring won a de-
cision over Carter in non-title
bout in Montreal Forum, site for
tomorrow nights action.
''We got the worst of it here
the last time" Willie said. I'm
going to insist that none of the
three judges used that time will
be on the list again.
Claims Ali Favored Savoie.
They're prejudiced in favor of
Savoie; they see only one man
in the fight. No Judge who
wasn't biased could have given
the decision to Savoie that time. +"
And about the referee. Willie
would like to see Jack Dempsey
in there and I'd be willing. to
split expenses to bring him here.
Cor some referee on the Penn
Sylvania or New York commits
sion's staff" Willie continued.
They get lot more action than
Montreal referees, who work in
only two or three fights a year
and will be very nervous in case
of world title fight which they
probably never have seen, much
less handled"
Montreal Referee Expected.
Despite Willie's squawks, there
is belief that Montreal man will
get the assignment, possibly
! Tommy Sullivan or Maurice
O'ConnelI. They are senior men
on the Montreal Athletic Com
mission list and are the most
experienced.
The names of the officials
won't be known until just be-
fore the fight.
Carter still rules the favorite
at to 2 but it was reported not
much money had shown yet.
The official weigh-in will be at
noon tomorrow at Palestre Ma
