YOU BE THE
QUARTERBACK
BY WARREN GAER
Drake Football Coach

Florida leads Georgia, 14-9,
with one minute and SO seconds
remaining in the game.
Florida has the ball on
Georgia's 20-yard line. 10 yards
from the right side Of the field.
The Gator quarterback is set
to throw on second down.
Florida's left end is downfield
about 10 yards and running at
right angle to the 'sideline on
the open side of the field.
The ball is thrown; if com,
.pleted, the end will catch it
about 10 yards from the side
line.
The defensive back covering
has a chance to intercept, but
if he misses, Florida will prob
ably score. He's sure he could
bat it down. He could push the
intended receiver and cause him
to lose his balance or he could
shout at the receiver and try to
confuse him and attract atten-
ton from the ball.
You be the defensive back.
Rate these choices /. 2, 3, and 4:
Shout at receiver.
Push receiver.
Bat down ball.
Try to intercept.

Second-Guessed at Virqiniu

more before he fumbled. Real
estate was tough to get at that
point.
Vanderbilt had more speed
than Virginia, and this seemed
to be the deciding factor. Vir-
ginia had nobody fast enough
to get away from the Commo-
dore backs. and on a dry field
the contrast in speed might
have been more noticeable. All
of Bakhtiar'S yardage was
gained slogging through the
line. Thus, on the last play of
the game, when Clarke, poised
to throw, found no receiver
open and tried to run, he fell
easy prey to Phil King.
No Gambling by Vandy
Virginia was fortunate that
the rain-softened field made it
almost impossible to return
punts, especially in the second
half. Vanderbilt, after taking a
60 lead in the second quarter,
was in no mood to gamble on a
tumble that might lead to a
Virginia victory. After all, the
visitors missed their chance for
a seventh point when the pass
from center slithered through
Quarterback Boyce Smiths fin
gers and Jimmy Travis had no
chance to kick.
Vanderbilt tried no passes,
while Virginia completed eight of
10 for 40 yards. Coach Art Guepe
was well satisfied to take six
points and get out of Charlottes-
vile with a close one. He was
more than willing to concede a
safety and two points in those
last, exciting moments.
After the game Guepe said
Vandy was lucky to win, and it
might have been at that. But on
that field and in a steady down
pour break could have given
either team the victory. We
thought the better team won,
and not because of any mistakes
Virginia made in the closing
seconds.-ATCHISON.

To some, Clarke'S strategy

Virginia was mired down in one

Vanderbilt, which had some turf

Stated simply. West Virginia

this loss, George Washington can
be thankful that the ColonialS

that often can make difference
was GW's when it picked up a

anything, however. and a few
plays later the Mountaineers got
the ball on a pass interception
and went for a touchdown.
More Talent and Depth
West Virginia had more talent
and depth than CIV, and had
the Colonials' offense well
secuted and well stopped. The
Mountaineer defenses were split
wide to stop GW'S outside stuff,
and the holes in the line were
plugged by linebackers. So well
stopped were the Colonials that
they didn't get a first down until
the game was 43 minutes gone.

Poor Line PIuy
Of Irish Helps
Middle Showing
Navy, 80; Notre Dame. 7
BY BILL FUCHS

This was strange spectacle
to watch. Before the kickoff !,
every seat in Baltimore Memorial
Stadium was occupied. There
was a tenseness as $1,000 eager
fans awaited the unfolding of a
sports drama. Still echoing in
the ears of one observer were
the words of Coach Terry Bren-
nan of Notre Dame to a large
gathering of Irish alumni and
guests Friday night in the Shera-
|ton-Park Hotel here.
Brennan had said: I'll guar
|antee you one thing. Tomorrow
you'll see a typical. rock-and-
sock Notre Dame football team.
Scientists recently demon
strated that you can, too, make
Ia silk purse out of a sow's ear.
But no one yet has come up
with a method of changing a
bad football team into a good
one. And Notre Danes was a
bad football team Saturday.
Irish Line DisappOints Fans
Brennan was bitterly disap-
pointed. So were those fans who
were accustomed to seeing to a
ard-charging Notre Dame line.
Navy made the Irish line look
like so much confetti. Paul Co.
her averaged more than FIVE
yards a carry. Ned Oldham and
Harry Hurst averaged almost
that much.
With their five losses, the
Irish have tied. the all-time low
for a Notre Dame football team.
And with four more games to go,
that 3-5-1 mark of the 1888
team, worst in Irish history, may
look good by comparison. Paul
Hornung and Aubrey Lewis were
outstanding in defeat, but when
you've said that, you've said just
about all there is to say about
Notre Danes performance.
You can't say too much about
Navy's performance. Except for
a bad break in the first quarter,
the score probably would have
been 40-7. And who can remem-
Der a Navy coach sending in his
fourth-stringers against Notre
Dame?
| The general feeling is that
Navy has jelled into a good foot
ball team. Next Saturday more
will be known, for on that date
the Middies meet Duke, which
like Notre Dame, has been oper-
Iating on the front lines. The
Blue Devils have lost four but

ST., went to the Sugar Bowl
two seasons ago with an 80 rec
ord, but if you try to compare
this team with that one, the
argument is that Navy doesn't
have George Welsh this year.
There is an answer to that
one now. Navy has Tom For
Irestal, who was a superb gen.
leral and all-around performer
Saturday. He completed 10 of
Is passes for 100 yards. For the
season he has completed 80 of

The Redskins get a chance to
spoil another Spotless record
Sunday, when the Detroit Lions
come to Washington. and they
expect to make the most of it.
Detroit now boasts six straight
victories. one of the longest
skeins put together in recent
years in the National Football
League. Mechanically, Coach
Buddy Parker's chances of win
ming another game decrease with
each victory. but the Redskins
aren't counting on percentages
to win for them. It'll take
hustle. sharp tackling and en-
thusiastic blocking.
I'VE thought the Lions were
the best team we met on the
tour" Coach Joe
Kuharich said today. They've
got experienced men who've
been through the mill and have
had the pressure on them.

balance than any team we saw

and Sam Baker kicking four
field goals. Six pass interruptions

Key Mistakes
On DefenseA Also
Hurt Maryland
Kentucky, IA; Maryland, 0
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY


The pattern for Maryland de-
featS this season virtually is the
same every week--no punch in
scoring territory and couple of
defensive errors. The Terps will
play almost an entire ball game
Of good defensive football. then
somebody maps on a key play and
that's it.
Coach Tommy Mont said in
his post-game statement Satur-
day that he thought it was an
even ball game. Statistically, it
was almost a standof. Throw
out Ivan Curnutte's 9-yard scor-
ing dash and the 14-yard run
that set it up, and forget that
78-yard punt return that never
should have been. and it was
pretty even. Nothing else stands
out.
T. About the boos and jeers from
the stands, the grumbling at the
Terrapin Club dinner Saturday
night and the questions from
people you encounter from the
time the game is over until the
Monday Quarterback deadline,
we'd say the adverse comments
were about on schedule.
Substituting Suspect
Assuming the right of a Mon
day quarterback, we'd say Mont
has received the utmost from
his patched-up, over-rated ma
terial in five of Maryland's seven
games this season. He didn't at
North Carolina and Tommy
knows it. We don't think he did
against Kentucky, and maybe
Tommy partly was to blame.
Mont's substituting against
Kentucky was suspect, both after
the tumble recoveries and at the
outset of the fourth quarter. In
the latter instance, of course, he
was attempting to get his first
ball club in the game at the
start of a quarter.
But in so doing he took. out a
hot team for one that hadn't
produced, and the cold one lost
the ball as soon as it took over.
And the field goal try from
Kentucky's 23-yard line on
fourth down and four could be
questioned. Here was a team
that had made one of six extra
points and no field goals, trying
for a field goal actually 40 wards
out in the mud.
Touchdown Needed
The first touchdown in Sat-
urday's mud was of tremendous
Importance, because it appeared
to be a ball game where a touch
down lead could stand up. Why
not go for the four yards on
fourth down The odds were
much better than kicking field
goal from that position.
And a moment later, when the
Terps recovered a tumble on
the Kentucky 10, the Terps boot
ed a great chance. Even after
the 15-yard penalty, Jean Waters
was wide open on the halfback
pass. but He'd Kershner didn't
see him. But that, of course,
was not Mont's fault.
Leo Durocher often has been
criticized for trying too hard to
win today's game, and forgetting
about tomorroW's.
b We'd like to see some of that
in Mont's coaching. Throw every
thing into that touchdown drive,
anybody who can move the ball,
and forget for a minute what
happens if they suddenly should
have to play defense. After all,
the substitution rule is fairly
liberal.
Tommy seems to have a re-
luctance to use certain players
on offenSe because they can't
play defense. He's undoubtedly
right. those players are a risk on
defense. But what Maryland
needs is tolIchdoWns
