Watkins Committee s
Mail Now Running
More Favorable
ByJomes Y. Newton

The special Senate committee
that recommended censure of
Senator Mccarthy reported to-
day that it's mail is running more
favorable, but that a slight ma
jerity of the, letters coming in
still favored the Wisconsin Re-
publican.
A few weeks ago mail of the
committee headed by Senator
, Watkins, Republican. of Utah.
was running about 35-1 in favor
of Senator Mccarthy.
The volume of letters now Is
greatly reduced and a spokes-
man for the group said those
writing in were almost evenly
divided in their opinion of the
Watkins committee verdict.
The committee so far has re-
ceived about $4,000 pieces of
mail. Despite the recent trend,
by the far the greater number
favored Senator Mccarthy. The
committee spokesman said that
many of the letters criticizing
the committee for recommending
censure are identical in lars-
guage. Some, he said. appar-
emily were written on the same
typewriter or in similar hand
writing.
Some of the current corre-
spondents say they are writing
in because they read in the news
papers that the committee mail
was so favorable to Senator Nc
Carthy.
The committee spokesmen said
they have distributed nearly all
of the 5000 copies of the censure
report that were authorized
originally. About 5000 of these
have gone to the public. The
rest we're given to the press and
members of Congress.

only last Tuesday on the recom-

A crowd of 10000 fans will
cram into Baltimore's Memorial
Stadium Saturday hoping that
Navy will unveil another "se-
cret weapon" against Notre
Dame.
These "secret weapons" that
the Middies have been using
this season are so secret not
even Navy knows about them.
All the Middies and their
coaches know is that they have
more than three. dozen players
and any one can turn into a star
at any given time.
So far it has worked out
beautifully. Against William and
Mary. Leonard Benzi, a fourth
string guard last year, distin-
guished himself with a perform
ance that included a blocked
punt which led to one touch
down. Bob Craig was the star
runner and he included a 65-
yard touchdown run.
Quarterback Dick Echard, un-
heard of previously. showed his
stuff against Dartmouth, while
Joe Gattuso. a fullback of dis
tinction last year, personally
ran up 153 yards against Stan
ford. Echard and Dick Guest
also were conspicuous in that
one.
George Welsh, who sat out the

They will remain in Washington

It has been a lopsided series,
with the Irish holding a 22-4

Hes a good thinker" Tatum
said, land he's learning to follow
Instructions"
Tamburello's varsity debut was
on the sensational side. He in
tercepted two passes against
Kentucky, running one back 68
yards, lifted Maryland out of
serious trouble with a good punt
and relieved at quarterback.
His first pass was intercepted
in the UCLA game and somebody
suggested that might have hurt
his confidence. Nothing can
hurt Tambo's confidence" Tatum
replied.
All-Around Good Player.
Tamburello quarterbacked the
Terps to two touchdowns against
North Carolina in his best Of
fensive display. He completed
Maryland's only successful pass
against Miami last week.
Tatum was asked what Tam
burello does best. That's hard
to answer, because when a foot
ball player can play defense,
run, pass, kick and do a good
job of quarterbacking, he's just
an all-around good football
player. Tambo Is going to make
a great split-T quarterback for
us next year." the coach replied.
Tambo is the type who can
loosen up q tight ball club. He'll
do it with a quip, or some remark
such as. wonder what Tatum
will think of this next call"
There is nothing shy about
Tamburello either. He dresses

haves like a fellow who thinks
he's a pretty good football player.

South Carolina is touting

Maryland's quarterbacking will
be in the hands of a sophomore
against South Carolina Saturday
afternoon in Columbia. but
Coach Jim Tatum is not too con-
cerned because Frank Tam
burello is an exceptional sopho-
more. At least. the Terp coaches
believe he is.
Hes 10 times a better Of
fensive quarterback now than he
was against Kentucky" Tatum
was saying yesterday. Defen-
siyely, he never has given any
concern.
"Tambo." his nickname among
the players. is smaller than
Maryland's most recent quarter
backs. He's 5-feet-10 and 180
pounds. He's a Baltimorean and
starred at Patterson Park High
in all sports.
Frank came mighty close to
travelling in the opposite direc-
ton tomorrow. OF all the schools
that pursued him, Virginia came
the closest to winning him.
There's no Charley Boxold at
Virginia, and If Tamho had gone
to Charlottesville he very likely
would have been the starting
quarterback ever since the first
Of the season, and against Army
Saturday.
Follows instructions Now.
He- finally was persuaded to
come to Maryland by an uncle,
Phil DeFillipio, who is a Mary
land graduate.
Whitley Dovell. the Maryland
freshman coach, had some ex-
asperating moments with Tambo
last year. Maryland doesn't take
freshman football too seriously
as far as records are concerned
and Frank would make up a few
plays in the huddle. Some Of
them wouldn't work, because no.
body else was aware of the play.
Tambo's improvising is over
now that he's on the varsity.

The Richmond team coming
in to play George Washington
tomorrow night at Griffith Sta
dium is guaranteed not to be
the soft touch it was for the
Colonials the previous two years.
Coach Ed Merrick of the
Spiders is in his fourth year at
the helm and is beginning to
show results. In fact, there
was a turn for the better last
year when his players earned a
5-3-1 record, and an improve
ment on that is expected this
season.
So far the Spiders have
turned in shutout victories over
Randolph Macon, Hampden :
Sydney and The Citadel, while
losing to Virginia Military and
undefeated Virginia Tech, the
latter by only one touchdown.
" This years Richmond team
boasts depth, experience and
speed, none of which it had in
1852 or last year when CIV was
winning over the Spiders by
29-7 and 35-7 scores. Richmond
last won over CIV in 1851, 20-l9,
in game that may be remem-
bered as the one which spoiled
a goodby celebration for Andy
Davis, the fine CIV back who
playing his last collegiate game.
Richmond confidently expect
ed to have the best team in the
Old Dominion this year. Vir-
ginia Tech has risen to break
that bubble, but the Spiders
claim a fine collection of run
ming backs and an end, Erik
Christensen. whom they regard
not only as the best in the
Southern Conference but as best
in the whole conference area.
Christensen. from Woodbridge,
N. j., and big and brutal at 230
pounds, was an easy choice on
the all-conference team last
year and already is regarded as
one of the great ends in Rich
mond football history. He's a
bear on defense, and the Rich
monds are counting on him to
keep speedy Len Ciemniecki of
CIV from doing much outside
running.
Another fine defensive star
is Tackle Red Keville, a 220-

Landau, Queen Elizabeth's

at Friendship Airport this
morning and was vanned to the
Laurel Race Course. where next
Wednesday he will compete

In the same plane with Lam

British Isles were Frank w.
Dennis King of the Tudors, an
other English-bred, and Lady
Bury's Northern Clean, great

the trip in good style, their
handlers said on leaving the
Pan American cargo plane at
the airport near Baltimore.
Their arrival rounded out the
delegation of five foreign
horses for the mile-and-a-half
classic over the Laurel grass
course. The two French horses,
Norman and Banassa, arrived
Monday morning.
Flight Arrival Delayed.
The huge cargo plane touched
down at 1926 am. after a lay
over of several hours at Moncton,
New Brunswick. The plane put
down there in order to delay its
arrival at Friendship so that
press and racing officials would
not have to get up so early to
greet the horses.
When the two French horses
arrived Monday, the plane came
in at $3.50 and there was a crew
of sleepy-eyed writer's awaiting

The latest arrivals were greeted
in high style. Bert Andrews,
British Consul in Baltimore, and
Arthur Price, president of the
Baltimore City Council, were at
the airport to welcome them. The
group also included John D.
Schapiro, president of the Laurel
track. -.
The official greeting was en-
livened by music furnished by
the I'd Army Band Pipe and
Drum Corps wearing Wallace
tartan-clad kits. Under the di-
rection of M/Sergt. Earl Ander-
son, the band came out with such
tunes as Scotland of the
Braves" Highland Laddie," f"

Northern Clean had to be

Customs officials took charge
of the plane as soon as it was

ward the horses were loaded
into a van and sent on the
final lap of their journey to
Laurel.
Landau is about as fashionably
bred as horse can be. His sire,
Dante, won the English Derby in

Under weight-for-age condi-
tionS, the 6-year-old Norman, s.
year-old Brush Burn, and 4-year-
old King of the Tudors will carry
top weight of 1876 pounds each.
High Gun, one of the years top

King Ranch color -bearer will
have a lot of support in his effort

Arcaro and the others, how

Europe's best and most colorful
riders in Rae (The Crocodile)

mount on Northern Clean at
1913 pounds. The duel of these
masters of race riding will be one
of the more attractive sidelights
of the race.
Northern Clean, a 4-year-old

the Curragh in Ireland in one
of her most recent victories,

When we think of the various

mice, we may feel that they
should be condemned as enemies
Of mankind. That is true In a
general way, but let us remen1-
ber the white mice!
Most house mice have gray or
brown fur. but now and then one
has white fur and reddish eyes.
Such a mouse is an albino.
In years gone by several albino
mice were gathered together.
After much effort. the experts
were able to establish q new
breed containing white mice.
These mice have had success as
pets, but they are among the
animals which increase In num-
Der too rapidly.
