Art Lewis Expects
Another Good Year
At West Virqiniu

MORGANTOWN. w. Va, Aug.
81 (SpeciaD Coach Art Lewis
of West Virginia's Southern
Conference champion football
team is optimistic about another
good season.
Our won-lost record may not
be as good as the last two sea-
sons al both times. but Wen
have a better team" he said
"One reason is our having a lot
more depth"
Another reason for optimism
is that Freddy Wyant. the smart
and strong quarterback. is back
for a fourth season. This left
handler has led the MountaineerS
to a 1913 record so far and is
being built up as All-America
material this season.
The return of Bruce Bosley
and Sam Huff at tackles is
another bright spot. There also
lis adequate depth and expert
ence in the backfield.

The Redskins will be on the
spot again Tuesday night when
they play the Colts at Baltimore
in their fourth exhibition game
of the season. It's a big" game
flor both, for obvious reasons. and
could develop into one Of the
toughest Of the tour.
The potential quarterbacking
duel between Ralph Guglielmi
and Jack Scarbath or George
Shaw of the Colts should add to
the excitement. Unable to hit
his best stride in Washington
Scarbath has done well in prac-

doubtedly would like to ram a
few touchdown passes down his

Guglielmi, involved in a three
cornered battle with AL Dorow

use the game as a stepping stone

first time against the Lions last

BY GEORGE HUBER

Coach 30 Sherman thinks his
1855 George Washington Uni
versity football team is at least
two weeks ahead of last years
at this point, even though prac-
tice doesn't start until Thursday.
A good spring practice in
which he and his assistants had
a chance to work on some OF
the weaknesses that developed
last year is one reason for his
optimism. I'VE experimental a
lot, made some shifts here and
there and the whole team should
be meshing better this year." he
said.
Sherman will have IS veterans
of last years team, Is of them
lettermen, plus IL freshmen re-
porting Thursday morning to the
Frog Island practice field at the
south end of Highway Bridge.
Also back at CIV will be Bob
Allwine, a big guard who twice
lettered with the Colonials be-
fore spending a hitch in the
Air Force where he played at
Boiling Air Base.
Recalls Narrow Defeats
Little things that hurt us
last year think we'll correct
this time" Sherman said, re-
calling that in GW's 1-7-1 record
there were five games lost by a
touchdown or less. I'VE should
be better, definitely, in several

promise we'll win five more
games than last year. but the
boys are going to show you some
better football.
And speaking of better
teams" Sherman continued.
you should have been at that
meeting the Southern Confer
ences coaches had the other day.
They talk differently Just sit
ting around than they do for
publication. and practically
Everybody says they're going to
come up with an improved ball
club this time"
AS for his own team, Sherman
puts it this way: We're in good
shape for halfbacks, three deep
on both sides, our best ground
gamer at fullback is gone, but
wen try to fill that up with a
shift or two: the quarterbacks
are coming along okay. the line
is lighter than most but fast.
and we have two good expert

DAM to Be Missed
The missing fullback is Dutch
DAM, while other notables

another fine fullback, and three

Oklahoma is almost a cinch
to enjoy another unbeaten cam
paign in the Big Seven while
Michigan is reported as the local
successor to Ohio State in the
rugged Big Ten. Southern Meth

Perhaps the biggest shocker
of the pre- season gossip is the
one that Notre Dame. annually
as a candidate for No.
/, may be in for a rugged year
and that Miami University OF
Florida will be the cream of the
independents. There are some
who say that Miami will defeat
the Irish when they tangle in
the Orange Bowl on the night of
October Z.
Coach Terry Brennan saw vir-
tually his entire line graduated
last June and also lost Ralph
Guglielmi, the All-America quar-
terback.
If any of these predictions OF
the experts fail to materialize,
the upsets will be concocted in
the two weeks following Thurs
day. 1t will be during that
period, for Instance, when Col.
Earl Blaik at Army will try to
convert Don Holleder, one OF
the country's better ends last
year. into a quarterback. During
that same time, Coach Bud WIKI
inson of Oklahoma. will take
the only remaining veteran of his
1854 backfield, fullback Jerry
Tubbs, and make center OF
him.
Playing for Keeps
BY September IT, some Of the
teams will be playing for keeps
but it is not until the following
Saturday, September "a, that
the action will be universal.
The athletes can concentrate
on the instructions of their
coaches because they won't have
to spend any time on new rules
The only change in the code
from a year ago permits a player
who was in the lineup at the
start of a quarter to leave the
field and return once. In 1854. a
player taken out of the Lineup
could not return in the first OF
third quarters and only in the
final four minutes of the second
and fourth periods.
Of course, the alumni anc
fans won't have to spend any
time on learning new rules
either. They can use the time
