The lighter West Virginia team

touchdown nullified by a penalty
In the second half Morris Har-
vey fumbles gave Tampa two
opportunities the Spartans were
quick to capitalize on for the de-
ciSive touchdowns.
The passing of Quarterback
Bill Minahan, the pass catching
of Halfback Don Herndon and
the running of Fullback Al
Leathers were the chief Tampa
weapons.
Morris Harvey's chief threat
was Halfback Jim Carr, the

cluding a 48-yard run.
Leathers topped Tampa with
90 yards in IA plays and was out

Herman was one of the few
men to coach a pro team who

Millner, one of the Redskins

America honors at Notre Dame.
He had a fling as head coach of
the Philadelphia Eagles in 1851,

McMillin's death. But Wayne

Millner came to the Redskins

Balls Plans Indefinite.
Ball, a member of the Wash

while still an assistant coach at
the University of Maryland, said
his future plans are indefinite.
There is a chance that he will
enter private business. If not,
he may go to the league meeting

coaches and team officials.
