.NCAA Refraction
Sought by Holman
BY tho Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. Nat
Holman, CCNY basketball
coach, has asked Albert B.
Moore, NCAA president, for a
prompt retraction" of what he
termed a "libelous statement" in
the groups recent resolution
placing the school on probation.
Holman, recently reinstated as
coach. requested the retraction
in q telegram to Moore yester-
day. The resolution, which came
in NCAA disciplinary action last
Wednesday, placed CCNY on a

probation for a year by the
NCAA in its meeting at New

CCNY players were involved,

BY The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 25.-A

fer Of the AS to Kansas City.

him. The brothers also signed

he would present the agreement
to Will Harridge, league presi-
dent, today. Harridge will con-
tact the other club owners in
the league for their assent.

might meet after the bank ses-
! sion today to begin work on their
plans for the new Athletics.

By Merrell WhittIesey

Virginia Techs sixth straight
triumph was somewhat on the
disappointing side for one who
had heard much of this un-
beaten team, but who did not
have the opportunity to watch
1t on more impressive Saturdays.
However. take away three of
the top four backs from any
team in the country and its per-
fornnance will suffer. We can't
remember any team with ma
tional ranking losing rs per cent
of its backf1eld for one ball
game.
Without Howie Wright, VPI
had q running attack only up
the middle, and Virginia could
afford to play virtually a oman
line and stop anybody else on
pitchouts. Wright was of the
bench at least SO times, ready
to play il necessary. but Coach
Frank Mosely held him out for
homecoming against william
g. Mary this week.
But Johnny Dean, the regular
quarterback. is out for the sea-
son with a. broken ankle and
Leo Burke, the fullback. probably
is out for the next four games
with back trouble. So you'll never
know how far this VPI team
could have gone.

backs performed nobly against

Navy Looks to Irish; GoskeII Helps CIV;
SporkIess Terropins Must Mend Fences
MIAMI, 3; MARYLAND. 7.
By Eruncis Stonn

Whether by design or happy
circumstances, Jim Tatum and
Maryland may count themselves
as fortunate. Not until 1857 win
the Terrapins have to play Miami
again--and by this time the
Hurricanes may have receded and
the Terrapins may have started
rebuilding.
There was no great doubt, after
last Friday nights conquest by
Miami, that Coach Andy Gustaf-
son and his Hurricanes are
headed for the big things In the
next two years. That ct score
was deceptive, and by 1855 and
1866 the Hurricanes ought to be
even tougher. q team to avoid.
Terps Lack Spark.
BY the same token. 1t is evi-
dent that Maryland will have to
mend some fences. For the
Terrapins. it is only the halfway
mark of the season but, up to
now. anyway. they are only about
so per cent of the team that won
the No. l rating in the Nation in
1858. They lack spark and the
obvious conclusion is that a Jack
Scarbath or Bernie Faloney at
quarterback wouldn't hurt.
This is not intended as criti-
cism of Charley Boxold. Mechan-
ically, Boxold is at least ade-
quate-faster afoot than Scar
bath or Faloney and q good
thrower. If Boxold had another
year he might do the job, and
if Sophomore Frank Tamburello
had a little more experience he
might fill the bill.
Next season. or the year after,
we might have q pretty good
quarterback in Tamburello," one
Of the Maryland coaches said.
Meanwhile, we've got Boxold
and he's not bad at all"
The pair probably will split
the duty in this weeks game
with South Carolina. Boxold,
who suffered a partial shoulder
separation on the first play at
Miami, is expected to be ready.
Charlie tried to keep his injury
q secret Friday night, but his
passes gave him away.
Jim Can't Avoid Refrain.
"It's simply the same old
story" Jim Tatum says In sum-
ming up his troubles. "I get to
talking about ball control and
everybody thinks I'm on a rec
ord. or something. But the fact
is that we had only Al plays

NAVY, 81; PENN. s.
By Bill Fuchs

Navy fans like to think of Sat-
urday's rout over Penn as q
warmup for Saturdays doings
In Baltimore. Notre Dame comes
to town and If ever one team
wanted to beat another. the Mid
dies want to beat the Irish.
No one over the age Of win
confuse Notre Dame with Penn,
but it has been nine years since
Navy has come up against their
big Midwest rival enjoying such
a happy state of confidence and
determination.
Winless Penn, with a multiple
offense which couldn't gain a net
inch rushing Saturday. Is no
suitable basis for judgment.
Nevertheless, Terry Brennan. the
Notre Dame coach who watched
the proceedings from the press
box overlooking Franklin Field,
was impressed.
Speed Impresses Brennan.
That's the best Navy team
I've ever seen," Brennan said,
including the ones I played
against" And Brennan, then a
17-year-old freshman. played
against the last Navy club which
managed to avoid defeat by the
Irish. In 1945 the teams played
to a 6-6 tie.
The speed of Nayy's team i'm
pressed Brennan. THE backs
are fast" he said, land so is the
line"
The series has afforded Navy
rooters few chances to cheer.
Notre Dame owns a 22-4 margin
in the unbroken rivalry which
started in 1927.
Frank Foster, a member of
the Navy Academy coaching
staff since 1924, has been watch
ing the Irish this season and
makes his detailed report to
Coach Eddie Erdelatz today.
This isn't one of the great No
tire Dame teams The Irish have
lost to Purdue and barely got
py Michigan State. But they'll
be favored, as usual, against
Navy Saturday.
Monahan's Return Helps
Erdelatz is happy over the
return of Phil Monahan. last
years top scorer who has been
hampered by a leg injury. Mon
ahan is fit again, as he dem
onstrated against Penn.
Seven other Navy backs con-
tributed to the teams 361 yards
gross rushing. They shot through
the Penn line like bullets all
afternoon. In the 96-yard march
for the third touchdown, Navy
used only nine plays, all run
ming. And except for the final
two yards, no play gained less
than five yards.
No, Penn is not Notre Dame.
But it was good practice and
come Saturday. there should
be nothing wrong with the Mid
dies psychologically.
