and was doing very well from an
academic as well as an athletic
view.
Figuring in his decision to
switch was a good offer from the
Giants to turn pro. Petruzzo is
expected to sign a contract for
about $4,000.
Petruzzo may be remembered
by some fans for having written
an article for a sports magazine
entitled I've Been Through the
Football Mill" The article ap-
peared just after Petruzzo left
Maryland to go into the Army
and criticized college football.
Petruzzo later said he was mis-
quoted in the story and that the
headline miSinterpreted his feel
ings. He returned to Maryland
in the best graces of Coach Jim
Tatum and held his own in
spring practice despite carrying
several pounds extra weight.

Ex-West Virginia Star
By the Associated Press

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. A.
Kelly Moan, a former West Vir-
ginia University football star,
died yesterday after falling from
the framework of the Ninth
Street bridge on which he was
working.
Fellow employees said Moan
was on his first day at work on
the new span across the Ohio
River. They said he slipped on
the steel and fell more than 70
feet into the river on the West
Virginia side.
Moan was best known as a
halfback on the West Virginia
teams of 1858 which were
coached by Little Sleepy" Glenn.
He was particularly well known
for his passing and was credited
with setting up West Virginia's
touchdown in it's TO victory over
Texas Tech in the 1888 Sun
Bowl game at Ell Paso.
Also a varsity boxer, Moan
came from Long Beach, Calf,
but stayed in Morgantown after
leaving school and worked in
chemical plants and at other
jobs. He was twice married.
