Gonzaga Holds
Andcostia 10
Score|ess Tie
BY BOB HANSON

Gonzaga High contained Ana
costia's offense. but couldn't
muster a consistent offense of its
own as the two teams opened
their football season by playing
to a Scoreless tie yesterday at
AnacoStia.
The Eagles. Catholic League
champions and. with Cardozo
cochampions of the city, ran up
approximately 140 yards rushing
to rs for the Indians and hung
up nine first downs as against
five for their opponents.
With one exception, however
GonZaga lacked the punch to
keep up sustained drive. The
one time it had a "cinch" touch
town a tumble killed it off.
1t was a tumble by AnacoStia
on its own SO midway in the
first period that gave Gonzaga
fell on the loose ball on the
Is. In three plays the Eagles
had a first down on the /. On
the first play there was a tumble,
and Tackle Jay Long recovered
for the Indians on the 2.
Gonzaga after that never got
closer to a score than the 20
yard line. This was at the end
of the first half. In the second
half the Eagles got as close as
the II, but lost it on downs and
were on the 30 when the game
ended.
AnacoStia, meanwhile, was
kept pretty much in its own back
yard and frequently found itself
forced to punt on third down in
an effort to get out of the hole.
The farthest advance was to
Gonzaga's 46 late in the fourth
quarter.
Justin O'Neil and Alan Camp
bell carried the offensive load
for Gonzaga while Max Disha-
room and Ronnie Droze did the
brunt of the ball carrying for the
Indians. Defensively. Long was
the games standout.

extra point.
Wheaton beat Sherwood for

sudden touchdown runs of 43
yards by Dickie Reed and SO
yards by Fullback Bill Britt.
End Charley Holmes sprung Reed
loose on his scamper. Vic Sa-
voca, 200-pound tackle. also was
outstanding as he and his fellow
linemen failed to allow Sherwood
a single first down. Sherwood's
came near the end
when Brian Thompson inter-
cepted jump pass by John
Goldberg and ran 20 yards into
the end zone.
There was one injury in the
three games. Halfback AL Steele

ANNAPOLIS. Sept. 15.-Coach
Eddie Erdelatz and his staff got
a look at the Navy football team
under fire today and a lot Of
their plans for the opener against
William and Mary two weeks
hence went up in smoke.
Navy was the unofficial win
ner" over Villanova in two hours
Of continuous scrimmage, but
the second team had to act as a
rescue party. AS a result, Erde-
latz told reporters later. "Therell
be some changes made"
The final score was 31-13 in
favor of Navy. At the end OF
four periods, it was. 25-13. The
final two touchdowns were
scored by Nays third string
against Villanova's third and
fourth stringers. The game con-
sisted Of six 10-minute periods.
Tom Forrestal, heretofore the
second-string quarterback, and
Paul Gober, second string half
back, were Nays stars. along
with Wilson Whitmire. first
string center; Dick Dagampat.
second string fullback, and Gus
Prahalis, third-string quarter
back.
Heavy DOwnpOur
A heavy rainfall poured down
for more than half the scrim-
mage, but most of the spectators
remained to the end. Midship-
men and friends made up most
of the crowd. as there was no
previous announcement made to
the public.
Both Erdelatz and Frank Re-
gan. the former Philadelphia Ea-
giles backfield coach now begin
ming his third season at Villa
nova, said they were highly
satisfied with the workout. It
was the best such workout for
Navy in some time. The Middies
romped over Boston University
last year and did the same to
Villanova in 1854.
The Wildcats, expected to have
their best team since Regain took
over. were without the services
of four of their starters-full-
back Rollie West, Tackle Don
Luzzi, Center Don Cherubini and
Halfback John Bauer.
A messed-up pitchout from Pat
Flood on the very first play gave
the Wildcats the ball on the
Navy 20 and they scored in five
plays, Dave Parr carrying the
last 5 yards.
Erdletz put his second stringers
in at the start of the second of
six 10-minute periods and they
put together a 39-yard touch
down drive. Gober. the fleet
halfback from Buck Run. Pa,
cut inside left tackle for 80 yards
and the score.
GOber Scores
A 25-yard punt return by
Gober set up the next score by
none other than Gober on a s.
yard burst through tackle.
The passing of Prahalis of
Pottsville, Pa, made the other
three Navy scores. He passed to
Jack McHugh for % yards, John
Kanuch for S yards and to Don
jain for IS. The running of Ned
Malynn was another feature of
the last two scores.
A tumble by Forrestal on the
Navy 5-yard line set up Villa
nova's other touchdown, with
Ken Wood carrying over from
three yards out.
Erdelatz said later: "We've
got a long way to go and just
two weeks to get there"
To which Regain, whose Wild
cats open at Texas A8SM next
Saturday, replied: We've got a
longer way to go and just one
week to get there"

Senators Loan
Counsel on Reds
To House Team
By L. EDGAR PRINA

Senate and House Red hunt
ers, often pictured as opponents
in a battle for headlines, are
demonstrating an unprecedented
spirit Of cooperation.
When the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee opens
Q new phase Of its hearings on
Communists in Government
next Tuesday. spectators may
do a double-take when they see
the House committees counsel,
Arens to Interrogate
This will be understandable
because Richard Arens, one Of
three attorneys on the staff Of
the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee, will be the man
interrogating the witnesses.
Mr.. Arens was the Senate
groups answer to a call for help
from the House committee after
its lone counsel, Frank S. Tavern
ner, jr., was ordered by his doc
tor to take a complete rest for
six weeks because of extreme
fatigue"
Mr.. Tavenner, who in addition
to his own job had been han
ding most of the duties Of the
committee clerk since Thomas
Beale was dropped from the STAFF
last month, probably won't re-
turn to work until mid-March
ut the earliest.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Arens has
been porting over House investi-
gative reports in preparation for
the questioning of perhaps two
dozen witnesses. in public and
closed door sessions.
Based on Fuchs Case
The hearings. which may re-
quire nine days to complete, are
based, in large part, in the dis
closures Of Herbert Fuchs. for
mer American University law
professor and solicitor of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
when he quit the Government in
1913.
In public testimony in Chi
cago last December. Mr.. Fuchs
named II former NLRB lawyers
as one-time fellow Reds and
two dozen others as having been
in Communist underground cells
in the Federal Government. He
said he joined the party in 1884
and quit in 1916.

Violent Storm Lashes Britain, Killing l3 Persons

LONDON, RAA violent sum- mer storm tore through Britain for 24 hours, causing at least l3 deaths and leaving a dozen or more yachts still missing today in the frothy English channel
 Six persons were known to be drowned after their boats cap sized in the churning seas. On land, six others were killed by falling trees alone, as winds, ac- 'companied by heavy rains, went up to 90 miles an hour.
 The storm caused millions of dollars damage to British crops. It brought landslides and floods to some areas. Heavy holiday traf- fic between Britain and France was halted completely. Hundreds of persons received minor ia- juries.
 Winds of 55 miles per hour continued in the Liverpool area today, hampering shipping and preventing two passenger ships from docking.
 Twenty-two yachts which had entered the annual cross-channel race from Southsea to Le Havre were scattered. One-her mast gone, sail broken and engines useless-was lowed into port to- day by lifeboat.

Many Administration
 Bills Ignored, Defeated By Democratic Congress

WASHINGTON, R-The Dem ocratic- controlled 84th Congress, which adjourned Friday mid night, defeated or ignored many bills asked by President Eisen- hover.
 These included statehood for Hawaii. Democrats would not go along because Alaska was not in- cluded.
 Democrats pointed out today that many of these also failed to pass in the previous Congress managed by the Republicans.
 Important parts of the Eisen- hover program either beaten or not acted upon included school construction, civil rights legisla- ton, a postal rate increase, and revision of the Taft Hartley labor law.
 Other features of his program like social security, foreign aid, and highway construction-were altered substantially in form.

 To reporters here, Stassen wouldn't even say whether he and Eisenhower had discussed Stassen's contention that Gov Christian Herter of Massachusetts would be a much stronger run ming mate for Eisenhower than Nixon would.
 And he didn't reply directly when asked whether he was still the Presidents aide on disarma- ment. To that question, he said:
 q don't want you to continue to try to cover all kinds of situa- tions." a

family.
 i've been on the team for a long t.-ne and I intend to stay on the team he told reporters who met him at National Airport.
 Asked by the Washington news men if his meeting with the Pres ident was pleasant and friendly, Stassen said all his contacts with Eisenhower always have been both.
 He declined to say what he and Eisenhower talked about, and said he would not comment on the progress of his Herter for vice president boom until he had some formal statement to make.
 Stassen said he asked for the meeting with the President.
 He flew here for it this morn ing. It was a surprise session in that there had been no word to newsmen in advance that Stassen was coming.
 It was just a week ago Stassen tossed a bombshell into Republi- can ranks by publicly proposing the nomination of Herter, rather than Nixon, to the No. 2 spot on the COP ticket. He said private poll indicated an Eisenhower Herter ticket would garner 6 per cent more votes than would an Eisenhower Nixon ticket
