AS BEEFY AS EVER
Copers Of Bobby Cox
Add Craft to Gophers

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 80 (P.-
A new kind of Minnesota foot
ball, brash as well as beefy, has
shouldered the unbeaten Co
pliers back into the Big Tens
upper echelon after years Of
hopeful plodding.
The play-it-by-the- book style
that so long was the Minnesota
trademark has yielded to the UNI
practicable capers Of Quarter
back Bobby Cox and the willing
ness of Coach Murray Warmth
to give his green No. 2 platoon
plenty Of action.
The Gophers haven't gone
whole hog. With line averag-
ing better than 2l5 pounds and
a mine Of fullback talent, Min
nesota remains basically power
team.
But where the Gophers once
were all crunch. they now go in
for calculated gambling and
some occasional cuteness.
The combination has brought
Minnesota "a record Of four VIC
tories and a tie and has made
1t q powerful candidate for the
Rose Bowl trip.
Against Michigan last Satur-
day. Cox ran for 1t on fourth
down twice near midheld. and
made it both times.
In the second half he worked
like a carnival hustler keeping
a quick huddle" Gopher of
Tense rolling at breskneck speed.
1t was a display Of controlled
frenzy Minnesota football has
rarely seen before.
Oddly. Cox mas energized Min
nesota without doing much in
the way Of passing. for which he
drew acclaim as a sophomore at
Washington two years ago.
Against Northwestern. FOR in
stance. he hit only one pass in
10 tries. He was 3 for 9 against
Illinois and stayed on the ground
almost all the way against Mich

passing gifts. however. have kept

BARONS SQUEAK BY BLADENSBURG
Going Getting Rougher
In B-CC Unbeoten Bid

Barons' sixth victory of the sea-
son was their closest, but de-
cisive nonetheless.
The Barons outgained Bla-
Idensburg, I'll yards to 81, in net
rushing. although Joe Schlosser
got loose on a 49-yard run for
the visitors. OF the IL times
B-CC had the ball, the Barons
reached Bladensburg territory
eight Bladensburg, on the other
hand, crossed the 50-yard line
only twice in 10 possessions and
pass interruptions stopped both
advances.
The first interrogation resulted
in touchdown with about 20
seconds to go in the first quar-
ter. After Schlosser's burst to
bees IL and a mixture of
penalties. Ed Hartman Tipped a
pass down the middle which
Ken Smith of B-CC picked out
of Buddy Eugenio's hands and
returned 70 yards along the
right sidelines. McGarry con-
verted.
Fourth Quarter Safety
Bladensburg's safety occurred
midway in the fourth period
after Linebacker Charley Lohr
of the Mustangs blocked Jim
Arata's punt on the B-CC 80.
Arata tried to pick up the ball,
but instead kicked it toward his
goal. Lohr grabbed it. but
Ifumbled and Arata recovered in
his own end zone. Lohr later
injured his back and was taken
to Prince Georges Hospital. He
was released after an eXamina-
ton.
Jim Guandolo. guard and line
hacker; Guard Mickey Mangham
and Tackle Bob Sheridan were
outstanding in the B-CC defense
which smothered Quarterback
Hartman enough to give Bla-
densburg a minus 10 yards in
rushing after intermission.

tailback, fumbled away the ball
on the Mustangs 81 and IL

Two Big Guards
Ready 10 for
CIV Saturday
BY GEORGE HUBER

Both Bob Sutton and Ray
Murray, the 200-pound senior
right guards. will be available
for George Washington in Sat
urday's big game against West
Virginia at Morgantown.
The return of these big players
will put the Colonials at full
strength for their most important
game of the season. Sutton plays
on the A unit and Murray or
the B unit.
Both have been ailing off and
on since early in the campaign
and were held out of last weeks
William and Mary game so they
could mend completely. They
were okay yesterday and worked
out with the Colonials as they
started preparations for the team
that offers the biggest hurdle
between CIV and its first unde-
feated football season.
Bob Frulla. a sophomore 200
FOUNDER usually listed as the No.
3 left guard, has been filling in
for one or the other at right
guard in recent games and doing
a good job. With Frulla released
from that duty now. it eases the
whole substitution problem in
the line. and Coach 30 Sherman
will be able to use his platoon
system without worry.
CIV Likely UnderdOg
Although CIV is unbeaten and
tied only once in six games and
West Virginia is even with three
won, and three lost, the Noun
taineers likely will be favored in
Saturdays game. The Noun
taineers will be playing at home
for the first time in more than
a month and they need this one
If they hope to win the Southern
Conference championship for the
fourth straight time.
A big crowd Of West Virginia
supporters also is likely. possibly
$4,000. Had the MountaineerS
beaten Penn State last Saturday
they probably would draw a full
house of $4,000 Saturday. hut
even at a figure less than that
the Colonials will be playing be-
fore by far the largest turnout
they've seen this season.
West Virginia's victories were
over Richmond, 30-6: Texas, 7-6
and William g. Mary. 20-l3, while
1t lost to Pittsburgh, 1913; syria
cuse, 1920. and Penn State, 1876
The latter three all are among
the top 20 teams in this weeks
Associated Press poll.
Secuted Twice by Sherman
Sherman personally has scout
ed West Virginia twice-against
william & Mary and Penn State
and reports it is a team that
matches the Colonials in speed
and beats 1t in depth.
There are several similarities
between the two teams, one OF
them being that both are well
balanced. Neither has a real
standout scorer. CIV having had
touchdowns this season from
nine different players and West
Virginia from eight. II means
that neither can plan to stop any
one particular player and by SO
doing foul up the others attack
In attempting to beat West
Virginia. the Colonials will be
trying to end the Mountaineers
Southern Conference winning
streak that goes back Is games
to 1852. CIV has been beaten
four times by West Virginia In
that stretch, 24-0, 27-6, 1877 and
1871 Last year the Colonials
led by TO at halftime on the
strength Of Nike Sommer's &c.

Nike hasn't scored yet thi,

Dulles Urges
.Suez Patience

By JAMES Y. NEWTON

Secretary of State Dulles today
called for the use Of patience
in handling the ticklish Suez
Canal problem and said if this is
done he believes "there is a good
chance that Egypt win come
freely to recognize the impor-
lance of working with. not work.
ing against" the many nations
which use the canal.
Mr.. Dulles told 4 news confer
Ience on the eve Of the United
Nations Security Council meet
ing on the Suez problem that he
believes Egypt will realize that it
should not sacrifice its chances
of good relations with most of
the world over this issue.
During the discussion the Sec
Rotary conceded that Egypt could
probably operate the canal in
some fashion, but he reiterated
previous statements that there
was no intention on the part of
the United States to shoot its
way through the canal in event
that Egypt does not go along
with the international users
association plan.
Mr.. Dulles said the canal
itself was not a major factor IN
the Egyptian economy. He added
that a large number of ships
probably would continue to use
the canal even i'm the event that
vessels of the Western nations
were diverted around it.
Sees Realization Coming
But he added that if Egypt
continues its adamant stand he
believes that country will come
to recognize that st is not good
business to ignore the interde-
lpendence Of the countries of the
world" one upon another.
He said that in that event
Egypt would suffer economically
in other ways. Mr.. Dulles said
that while there was no inten-
ton on the part Of the United
States or other Western nations
to declare economic war on
Egypt. the Middle East country
nevertheless inevitably would
suffer as result of lack of faith
i'm its government on the part OF
the West.

go along with plans of the West
would inevitably and inexor-
ably bring about circumstance
