Western Teams
AreDominatinu
NIL Contests

The strength of the National
Football League lies in the
Western division on the basis
of exhibition games played
against each other by the IL
members of the play-for- pay
circuit.
With the opening of the reg
ular season still four weeks away,
the only unbeaten teams are the
San Francisco Forty-N Miners,
Green Bay Packers and the Chi
cago Bears-all members of the
Western division. Each has
won three games.
Two other members Of the
same division-the Baltimore
Colts and the Detroit Lions
are next in line with the New
York Giants of the Eastern di-
vision. They each have 2-l
records, Los Angeles, Washing
ton and the Chicago Cardinals
have dropped two of three games
while the champion Cleveland
Browns are 0-3 and the Phila-
delphia Eagles GA.
Over the week end the Bears,
Packers and Forty Miners each
came up with their third VIC
tories. The Bears downed
Washington, 1913, Saturday
while the Forty Miners edged
the Cards, 14-13. yesterday when
Defensive Halfback George
Maderos blocked Pat Summer
all's conversion attempt with 80
seconds remaining.
The Cardinals held a TO half
time lead as the result of Ollie
MatSon S scoring plunge from
the 1-yard line and a conversion
by Summerall, but the Forty
Miners struck back in the Sec
lond half.
When Lamar McHan was
thrown into the end zone by
Bruce Bosley and fumbled, Leo
Nomellini pounced on the ball
for the first San Francisco score.
The second was provided by
John Henry johnson on a To-
yard squirt. Joe Perry booted
the extra points.
Then with just more than a
minute to go McHan pitched a
I9-yard touchdown pass to End
Don Stonesifer and it appeared
the game would finish in a tie,
But Maderos had other ideas.
The Packers turned back the
Browns, 2l-20, while the Giants
came through with a 21-10 de-
lcision over the Rams.

The truth of the matter is that
the Redskins-with LeBaron or
Dorow at quarterback-look good
enough to handle any team
they've met thus far. They
mauled the Rams with Dorow
and Janowicz AND gave the San

BaiIey's Passing Erratic
Bailey's passing left much to be
desired in the last two games.
but the Penn State rookie was
cool and courageous under fire
and called some nice plays.
Bailey's erratic throwing gives
the opposition too much of an
advantage. however, and unless it
improves he'll have to make the
grade as defensive back.
The left-handed Wyant really
hasn't had a chance yet. but
probably will get one against the
Packers. He was used briefly

The Redskins got off on the
wrong foot last Saturday night

and Tommy Loughran II have
been elected to boxing's Hall Of
Fame.
George Dixon, a native of Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, and once hold
er of the bantamweight and
featherweight titles; Jem Dris-
coll, the Welsh will-o'-the-wisp
and onetnme British lightweight
champion, and Peter jackson, a
formidable heavyweight of the
bare-knuckle days, were chosen
to represent another era of the
sport. All three are dead.
This was the third annual cleo
ton and total Of Al have been
named for fistiana's honor roll.
CanzOneri Gets 100 Votes
The previous moderns chosen
were Jack Dempsey. Henry Arm
strong, Harry Greb, Joe Louis.
Mickey Walker, Gene Tunney
and Benny Leonard.
Canzoneri Goo votes), Ross
1897, McLarin C92) and Lough-
ran 1887 were elected by a world
wide panel of sports writers and
broadcasters. There were ITO
voters in this group and at least
SO votes, rs per cent, were re-
quired for election. The moderns
eligible are those who have boxed
within the last 35 years and who
have been retired from COMPETE
ton for at least two years.
Dixon. who fought from 1886
to 1906, and Driscoll. one of the
cleverest boxers of his time
(1901-19l9), were picked by an
old timers committee of 20 vet
Grams. jackson, born at st.
Croix, British West Indies and a
fighter from 1888 to 1899, was
named by the Hall of flames
board of directors.
! Canzoneri, New Orleans-born,
held the featherweight, light
weight and junior welterweight
titles in the late twentieS and
early thirties. He boxed from
1925 to 1899, during bookings
greatest years.
Ross, New York-born and Chi
cago-reared, won the lightweight
crown from Canzoneri and twice
held the welterweight champion
ship. Barney fought from 1929
ito 1888. His three fights with
McLarnin were among the
classics of the ring.
Still Fastest Knockout
| Ross, now As, won the weller
crown from McLarnin on May
%, 1884, lost it back to Jimmy
on September II of the same
year, and then regained it on
May 20, 1885, exactly a year
from the time he first beat
McLarnin.
McLarnin, born in Ireland and
raised in California, first won the
welterweight title by knocking
out young Corbett III in 2::36
of the first round on May 80,
1888. That's still the fastest
knockout for a welterweight
championship fight.
Loughran, a brilliant boxer,
won the Interchangeable title
by outpointing Mike McTigue on
October Z. 1927. He gave up the
crown to campaign among the
heavyweights two years later.
The Philadelphian met the best
llight-heavies and heavyweights
in his Is years in the ring, from
1919 to 1887.

Itop-grade linemen in the group.
'"The backfield is the least Of
our WORRIES" Winkler said.
Were three deep there with
several Of them showing out4
standing ability, but the line Is
lour biggest headache. If we can
shape the boys up front in the
next few weeks we shouldn't do
too badly this year."
Depend on Davies
The Atoms will lean heavily
this season on Joe Davies and
| if the 6-foot. 175-pound junior
isn't hit by injury or illness such
as befell him last year, he should
turn out to be one of the better
backs in Northern Virginia.
Davies, who handled the sig
Inal-calling job last year in the
few games he played, will be
running from the left halfback
spot. He got in Annandale's first
and final games last year. In be-
tween, he had tonsilitis and a
knee injury. But a sound Davies,
a triple-threater, is the key to
the offense.
Bruce Hewitt, 6-foot-1, 100
pounds and one of the Atoms
better basketball players. will
take over the quarterback du-
ties. Hewitt. a. senior, will be
spelled by Jerry Cable, a tall,
lean sophomore, and Cliff Bar
anowski, junior who saw some
action at the position last year.
Running alongside Davies at
the other halfback post probably
will be Ted Stuart, 5-foot-9. 145-
pound senior. Jim Young, G.
foot-1. 180-pound junior az
fastest player on the squad, /
the inside track at fullback.
Others Show Promise
If the quartet of Hewitt, Ds
vies, Stuart and Young doesl.
Iiell to WinkIer's satisfaction ht
has others who have shown
promise. The best are Bill Hig-
ham, Stacy McMarlin, Bruce
Churchill and Bobby Luttrell.
Annandale will come up with
a fair first-string line, but in
experienced, according to Wink
Ter. One of the more seasoned
players, Barry Knight, 5-foot-11.
190-pound sophomore who was
first-string tackle last year. is
out for the season as the result
of injuries received in an auto
mobile accident about a month
ago.
| Several line prospects have
been showing to good advantage
recently. including Lanny and
Bob Gore, sons of AL Gore, di-
rector of Old Dominion Speed
way; Tom Graham, a sophomore
transfer from Fayetteville, N. c..
and Bob Heath, who sat out last
season with a broken hand.sm.
Winkler believes he'll get
enough results from his charges
to at least keep pace with his
Fairfax County opponents.
