one Of the smartest moves
Coach Art Lewis of West Virginia
ever made was picking up the
Quarterback from q high school
team he saw beaten By Q 26-7
score.
During the Moantaineers' fan
training at jackson Mills. w. Va,
IN 1851, Lewis secuted the high
school talent at nearby Sutton,

High School. but Lewis returned
to camp that night he remem-
bers the date, September 7. 1851
declaring that he had seen "a
boy who will make me d great
coach some day.
The boy was Freddy Wyant,
quarterback Of the losing Weston
team. and Lewis hasn't had q
minutes regret since persuadine
Wyant to enroll at West Vir-
ginia.
Wyant has been . star--not
Just q good player. but Z real
star-from his first game as q
freshman. From the Washing

part Ia beating George Washing

started practice for the 1955-56
season.
The Hoyas held on one day

holiday.
Coach Buddy Jeannette has
back practically everybody who
was anybody from last years

Even two Of the three first-string
players who were suspended in
mid-season have returned. and
the Hoyas have high hopes Of
improving on last years 1918
record, which In itself was pretty
good for q green outfit.
Back In the fold after working
on their suspensions are Dick
Percudani and Matt White. both
fine players. The third one on
that list, Hank Morano. didn't
make it back to the Hilltop, and
also missing is Warren Buehler
who dropped out of school last
spring for family reasons.

and George Welsh OF Navy, he
probably won't get that much-

real football sense. He also is D
|lefthander, but oddly enough his
strength Is to the right. same as
THE teams power and that Of the
usual righthanded quarterbacks.
Anyway, Lewis got Wyaat for
West Virginia. and in the OPEN
ling game Of the 1852 season
Freddy, q freshman, was sent in
las q fourth-quarter substitute
with the Mountaineers trailing
|Furnan, 22-O. He promptly
engineered two touchdowns.
Freddy was the starting quarter
back the next week and has been
there ever since. frequently for
the whole game.
He achieved national promi-
|nence in his freshman year. In
his fourth game as regular quar-
Iterback he engineered the Noun
taineers to q 1910 upset over Q
Pittsburgh team that had de-
feated Notre Dame and Army
the two previous week ends.
Lewis kissed Wyant right out
there on the field and news
papers put his name In their
headlines.
Under him the MountaineersI

games and lost three. and ap-I

Doctor Saves
Boy StroneIine
On Ear PIuqs

A Navy doctor performed an
emergency tracheotomy an d
saved the life of a 13-year-old
Alexandria boy who was strangled
on ear plugs last night at the
Army-Navy Country Club in Ar
lington
Ralph w. Hunt, of 2909 Old
Dominion boulevard, was uncon-
scious and turning purple when
Navy Capt. L. B. Shone made
the incision in the boys throat,
thus allowing him to breathe.
Capt. Shone, stationed at the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,
said he made the incision with
just surgical blade-he did not
have a knife. The boy had been
pulled minutes earlier from the
clubs swimming pool.
1t was reported that the youth
was swimming about $3.50
o'clock and had the ear plugs
in his mouth while in the pool
They lodged in his throat when
he gulped water.
Capt. Shone, who was attend
ing a party at the club, re-
sponded to the call for a doctor
He and another doctor, A. D.
Daughton of Washington, held
the incision open with a surgical
instrument while an Arlington
rescue squad rushed the boy to
Alexandria Hospital.
The youth, son of Ralph B.
Hunt, a retired Navy captain,
was reported in fair condition.
The ear plugs were removed at
the hospital.

BOMBAY, India. Aug. 81 up.
midas uncounted millions OF
numbers game players and OPP
orators were amused and con-
cerned today over what's going
on in Washington and New York.
The United States Department
OF Agriculture yesterday &C
cused two New Workers of violat-
ing the Commodities Exchange
Act by sending allegedly rugged
cotton futures quotations to OPP
eratives in India.
Reports published here said
the department did not say what
it believed the information was
used for by the Indians.
This brought the laughs, be-
cause New York cotton figures
for decades have been used for
nationwide betting daily in India.
It is a numbers game and is as
illegal IN lnQla as III many otner
places.
The New York figures are al
ways a must in the late news
columns of midas morning
papers. Bombay is IL hours
ahead of New York time).
Though illegal. the betting on
the last digit of cotton quota
lions is on an uncomfortable
scale in many parts of India, es-
Bombay and Madras.
Fortunes are made and lost
overnight. The poorest, including
beggars, take part because it is
the simplest form of gambling.
Even illiterates have q 60 at it.
