BoIIing-Fort Jackson
Game Features Card
For Service EIeyens
By Dick O'Brien

The big three of military foot
ball in this area, the Quantico
Marines, Fort Belvoir and Boil
ing Air Force Base, are poised
for three important contests. The
outcome of all three is very much
in doubt.
Quantico gets off first tonight
against Fort Eustis at Eustis,
but the spotlight shifts tomorrow
to Boiling where the undefeated
Airmen are prepared to meet
Fort jackson, one of the most
dangerous opponents on their
schedule.
At Fort Belvoir. the Engineers
are set to battle the team from
Fort Monmouth, N. j. tomorrow.
The meeting of undefeated
Boiling and once-beaten Fort
Jackson team will put the Gen.
erals under real pressure for the
first time this season. Boiling is
a 10-point favorite.
Fort jackson had Fort Belvoir
beaten until the last five minutes
of the game in a meeting at Bel
voir earlier this month. The
South Carolina soldiers revealed
power in that game with Gene
Rossi. directing the split T.
Only one change has been
made in the Boiling starting
lineup. Lowell Perry, former
Michigan end, who has caught
three passes for touchdowns in
two games, will return as the
starter at right halfback. Tom
my O'Connell, Bob Schneider
bach and Bill Reichardt will
round out the Generals starting
backfield.
O'Connell. former Illinois ALI
America, is having bang up
season as Bolling's quarterback.
He has completed 80 of 54 passes
for a total yardage of 526.
Reichardt Is the leading ground
gamer with AZ carries for 328
yards. End Charley Jones, for
merly of George Washington, is
the leading scorer on the un-
beaten team with six touch
downs, q tribute to his pass
catching ability.
Boiling is actually going for its
18th straight victory, having
ended last seasons schedule with
a string Of seven in a row added
to the four winning starts it has
chalked up this year.
Fort Belvoir tied Fort Lee last
week, TT. The starting lineup
has not been changed for the
Fort Monmouth game.
The Marines, however, have
announced Halfback Don Bing-
ham will replace Gene F'ilipski
in the backfleld when they line
up against Eustis tonight. In
five games he has carried %
times for a 6.3average. He also
leads in pass catching with
eight passes caught for a total
of IA yards.

Flight Problem Keeps
Japan 5 Top Horse
From Trip 10 Laurel

Hopes that Japan's top stake
horse would be flown to this
country for the third running Of
the Washington, D. c., Inter-
national at Laurel apparently
were dashed today because Of
transportation problems.
A Pan-American Airways
spokesman told the Associated
Press in Tokyo that plans to fly
Hiroshi Nishi's 4-year-old HAIKU
ryo. winner Of the Emperor's
Cup, to this country for the
mile and a half grass course
classic November 3 were shelved.
at least temporarily, lin all fair
ness to the horse"
Compartment Too Small.
The airline official said he and
Nishi had looked over the cargo
compartment Of one Of the lines
regular planes and decided 1t
wasn't big enough. In addition
to the problem of getting the
horse in and out of the door, he
said, there wouldn't be enough
head room.
Nishi said he hadn't given up
the idea Of flying the horse to
Laurel, but had no other i'm
mediate plan for getting him
here. It would be an 8.0O0-mile
trip, at a cost of about $4,000.
Meanwhile, Laurel officials
have just about decided to go
with only one entry from Ire
land, following yesterdays with
drawal of Terence j. S. Gray's
Zarathustra. A slight ailment in
duced Trainer Mike Hurley to
recommend the 3-year old's
withdrawal.
Place to Be Left Open.
John D. Schapiro, Laurel pres
ident, looked over a list of addi-
tional horses from the Emerald
Isle, but found none with a rec
ord to compare with Zarathus-
tra's, and rather than invite a
horse to swell the lists probably
will leave the second Irish place
open.
Even without Zarathustra
Laurel has an attractive lineup
for the International. Lady
Burys' Northern Clean Is one Of
Ireland's best fillies, and with
the colorful Rae (The Crocodile)
Johnstone in the irons she may
give her rivals a run for the
money. Queen Elizabeth's Lam
dau and F. w. Dennis King Of
the Tudors should give England
good representation while Jean
Cecrion's Banassa and Ernest
Masurel's Norman will carry
Frances colorS.
American turf experts think
King Ranch's High Gun and
Stanley Mikell's Brush Burn will
take good care of United States
interests in the race.
