CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. S
(SpeciaD .-VirginiaS homecom-
ing football game here tomorrow
will offer as one of its main at
fractions the individual battle
between the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference's two best fullbacks, Jim
Bakhtiar of Virginia and Bill
Barnes of Wake Forest.
Bakhtiar should be in a run
ming mood after being almost
completely halted by Duke last
week. He was restricted to %
yards by the Blue Devils after
setting a record with 2l0 yards
the week before against Virginia
Military.
Barnes, a converted halfback,
has been the spearhead of the
Deacons' attack. He leads the
country with 1893 yards in 80
attempts. while Bakhtiar is fifth
with 233 yards in SO carries.
Oddly enough, neither gained
much ground in last years game
between the two teams. Bakhtiar
got 81 yards and Barnes 19 as
the Deacons took a 1877 decision
although held to minus IA
yards rushing in the statistics.
Both head coaches are former
service assistants. incidentally.
Ben Martin, one-time Navy as
siStant, guides the Cavaliers and
Paul Amen, ex-Army aide, is in
charge of the DeaconS. Both
are in their first year as head
coach.
Injuries have forced Martin
to juggle his lineupS. Sonny
Randolph, speedy sophomore
left halfback, is doubtful, and
Jimmy Robertson has moved up
to the first team this week. Nell

Reece Whitley. who is out for
the season. at quarterback.
Alvin Cash at right half and
Bakhtiar at fullback round out

Rams to Sturt Wade Sunday,
F orty-Niners JuqqIe Lineup

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5 Up
Bill Wade has won the job as
queSterback of the Los Angeles
Rams from Norm Van Brocklin,
but he gained it on a fluke,
Coach Sid Gilman admits.
Gilman announced yesterday
that Wade, former Vanderbilt
star. would start Sunday against
the San Francisco Forty miners,
because he won for us against
Philadelphia last Sunday and
he can win again" Gilman said
Wade will stay as quarterback
as long as he continues to de-
liver"
Van Brocklin started against
Philadelphia and his first pass
was intercepted and turned into
an Eagle touchdown. He was
taken right out and Wade
worked the rest of the game.
Gilman said a study of the
game movies showci that Van
Brocklin's arm was tipped on
the pass by Tom Scott, Eagle
end.
Il wouldn't have jerked Van
after that interrogation if I had
known Scott rushed him so well
on the pass. He'd have stayed
in. but when I saw that rup-
tured duck webbing through

'JockeysArrive
For Whitney
.CoItsinFrance

PARIS, Oct. S (P).-Eddie
Arcaro and Sam Boulmetis flew
into Paris yesterday to ride a
pair of C. v. Whitney's thorough
bred stars in Sundays Prix de
lArc de Triomphe, EuropeS
richest horse race.
The horses, Career Boy and
Fisherman, have been here since
last Sunday. They are quartered
at the famous Longchamp track
on the edge of Paris and have
been working out under the di-
rection of Trainer Syl Veitch.
Whitney arrived Wednesday
to be present for the first Ameri-
can attempt to capture the
famous weight-for-age stake
which carries a prize list of
about AZ million francs ($l25.-
000), with rs million francs
($7l 5000 to the winner.
Career Boys last outing in the
United States enriched the
Whitney Golfers $4,000 when
he won the United Nations Han
dicap at Atlantic City. In this
race, Fisherman, a 5-year-old.
set the early pace and prepared
the way for the 3-year-old
Career Boys final winning rush
in the mile and three sixteenth
test. The same tactics may be
tried Sunday, over the 2,400-
meter mile and a half route.
Although the presence of the
American horses has generated
a lot of interest and curiosity,
the favorite probably will be
Ribot. the Italian 4-year-old,
owned by the Marquis Incisa
Della Rochetta of Milan. Ribot,
undefeated in Is outings over
a three-year period, won the Prix
de fArc de Triomphe last year.
In all. 81 horses were left
eligible today after the latest
round Of declarations. A fourth
declaration is required by this
afternoon and the final entries
must be made by noon tomor-
row.
The race probably will attract
close to 100000 spectators to the
Longchamps course Sunday if
fair weather prevails.

he said You know. we've

We've played some games in

Water was inches deep-atro-

Il SILVER to think of having

World Series games are played

If the home team is ahead, five

laws may be league rules, but this
rule is in the book
