to pull the situation out of the

went West again and announced
he was planning to sue the syn
dicate and Roy Mack to recover
losses he said he sustained in
connection with his negotia-
tions.
Harridge further complicated
the situation by stating he want

cred agreement" in hand before
he would ask the club owners
to consider the syndicate offer.
Yesterday, at long last. Alfred

sidering his resignation Of last

Mcintyre had resigned in pro-
test Of the canceling Of last
Thursdays game with Dunbar
Of Baltimore by Principal Will

return to his coaching duties
'for the general morale of the
team and school," Buckner said
today.
Buckner also said the team

Mcintyre since his resignation

that the football squad had re-
acted unfavorably toward the
loss of its coach.
The game with Dunbar of Bal
timore had been Cancelled be-
cause Buckner believed the gate
receipts would not equal the ex-
penses. Mcintyre said at the
time that the position he was
put in left him no alternative
but to leave the team.

More CIV Shifts Due
AsShernlan Promotes
Second-Strin Line
BY George Huber

A wholesale shift In the
George Washington lineup is IN,
prospect for Friday nights game
against Richmond at Grifilth
Stadium. The ond-strong
line. from tackle to tackle. was
promoted to the first team In
yesterdays scrimmage, and In
dications are there may be some
changes in the backfield also.
"The B unit has been out
hustling the A unit" Coach 30
Sherman commented while dis
cussing the changes, land they
deserve a chance. We want q
lively outfit here, and these boys
are giving it to U.s."
Those promoted yesterday
were Tackles Dave Liddick and
John Posta, Guards Ed Sakach
and Bob Sutton and Center Joe
Hince, replacing Tackles Bill
McHenry and John Ziaman-
danis, Guards Lou Donofrio and
AL Solomon and Center Dick
Gaspari.
Four Of Them Sophomores.
OF the men moved up, Posta
is a junior and all the others
sophomores.
Sherman didn't say he con-
sidered all the men moved UP as
better football players than
those they replaced. The words
hustle" enthusiasm" and
"trying" were used by the coach
In discussing their talents. He
also pointed out that he wasn't
censuring the denoted players:
he just was noting that the sec
ond team had shown better on
offense and defense in Friday
nights 1918 tie with William &
Mary. and on several other oc-
casions. And he was rewarding
their efforts with q starting
chance.
The ends are not included In
the changes. largely because
they have been shifted around
all season with little regard for
first and second team designa-
tions. The Colonials are blessed
with some excellent fiankmen in
George Dancu, Richie Gaskell,
Pat Kober, Jack DAILY and Paul
Thompson. All are standouts
on offense and defense and fire.
quent substitutions are made
without strengthening or weak
ening the lineup.
Backfield Shifts Indicated.
In the backfield, indications
are there may be requirements
for Fullback Dutch Danz and
HalfbacG Bill Weaver. Danz
has been carrying a terrific load
while the other fullbacks were
injured, particularly in the West
Virginia game In which he
played 60 minutes, He may
need q rest.
Nat ,Naddeo, q Junior, and
Claude Austin, sophomore. are
the fIllback subs striving for a
starting berth. Austin, finally

injury. was one Of GW's main

he had some rugged characters

that most impressed us about
Ray was that he didn't stand
for any nonsense. He might
have borne down on Weinmeis-
ter's Yankee teammates because
they weren't putting out the way
he thought they should.
\ y
Another thing, the official
AAC brochure containing the
1948 records shows that the
Yankees whipper Brooklyn, 21-3,
and lost to Baltimore. 1928, be-
fore going to San Francisco.
Finally. the Yankees finished
with a season record Of 6-8, not
6-6. unless. Of course. the official
records are wrong.
But that statement about
morale being the great factor in
pro football is for the birds. If
Weinmeister thinks most squads
are equal In ability and weight
he didn't look them over very
carefully when he played for the
Giants. Or does he discount
good coaching. sound planning
and does he contend that breaks
Of the. game count for nothing? I?
" ~
Weinmeister tells how Frank
Leahy conned him into playing
defensive guard for the 1948 Col
lege All-Stars when the former
Notre Dame coach had his own
pair of tackles in George Con-
nor and "Ziggy" Cyarobski to
man those positions.
"You see. Arnie," Leahy is
quoted. you've impressed us as
a football player"
Weinmeister says those words
have inspired me all through
my football career.
The master was quite a guy
for inspiring players.
Arnie brings up money mat
ters. too, declaring that the
average pros pay is $4,000 or
$4,000. The salaries range from
a minimum Of $3.600-which he
knew about-for a lineman to
$25, 900 for q star quarterback.
Arnie concludes that money
really isn't the lure that brings
the pros back year after year.
Maybe it's mans eternal
memories--the gladiator, SOL
dier, warrior symbols in modern
dress-of q time when all the
races were young and strong
and very willing to match blows
for blood and fun"
A beautiful thought by q guy
who lost his cookies running
up and down a football field.
Maybe 1t was something like
that he said that made the red
head run 'em In the first place.
At any rate. we'd like to hear
a rebuttal from Flaherty.
