New York Giants must over
come a Pittsburgh jinx to solid

Fifth Straight
Against W&M
By GEORGE HUBER
Star STAFF Writer

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Oct
24-George Washington's foot
ball team is aiming for its fifth
straight victory over William &
Mary this afternoon as one
means of showing it's a better
outfit than a Ia record indi-
Gates.
The Colonials have concen-
trated much of this weeks
practice on defense in the hope
they can keep the Indians bot
tied up and take the ball from
them.
W&M presents two big Of
fensive threats in Bob Stoy, a
passing quarterback who is re-
turning to action after an
early-season injury, and jim
Porach, a halfback turned full
back.
Porach is a hard-running
180-pounder who started the
season at right half but who
shifted to full last week after
the regular fullback, Lauren
Kardatzke, broke an arm
against Furman. Porach is the
Indians biggest ground gamer
with 149 yards in AZ carries. g
3.6-yard average.
GW's leading ball carrier
Halfback Tom Haly, is a hail
better with a 3.8 average of
20 carries for 106 yards.
Passing, though, has beer
GW's best weapon with Ed Hinc
throwing most. The Colonials
have gained $50 yards through
the air in five games, compared
to the Indians 408.
For today's game the Colo
malls are hoping for better
weather than they had on Their
last trip here in 1857. 1t was
a boiling hot, humid day. with
the temperature nearly 100 de-
grees. The Colonials won, TO
but it left them a wrung out
and beat up team. The loss OF
their following two games large
ly was blamed on their poor
physical condition from the
W&M game.

Dresser Takes Over
As Braves Manager

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. "a (AP) /.
Fiery Chuck Dresser, a vet-
eran field boss with two ma
tional league championships, is
the new manager Of the Mil
waukee Braves.
The 6l-year-old Dresser was
signed to a two-year contract
last night at a meeting with
Milwaukee Owner Lou Perrin,
Executive Vice President Birdie
Tebbetts and General Manager
John McHale in Chicago.
The signing Of Dresser, coach
with the Los Angeles Dodgers
for the last two seasons, was
announced several hours after
the Associated Press reported
exclusively that he was the
choice to succeed Fred Haney,
who resigned three weeks ago.
Terms of the contract were
not divulged. However. the
Braves scheduled a news con-
ference this afternoon to ex-
pand on their brief announce
ment, which came shortly after
midnight.

time reported he was out fish

Brooklyn Dodgers to champion

Of Fools and Xmas
By George Bragaw
Sports Editor

Baseball is called the national pastime, rae
ing is supposed to draw all the fans, and fish
ing and hunting soak up most of the money,
but it wouldn't take long to make an argument
that bowling is Americas number 1, partic
pant sport
There are 3,143,338 men who belong to the
American Bowling Congress and another
1,250,000 women who belong to the Women's
international Bowling Congress. Put them all
together add the duck pin bowlers and pinch
of salt and they spell estimated IS million
alley chuckers. Like man, that's lot of hard
rubber, wood, and incidentally money.
If nearby construction isn't involved
with a DRIVEN hamburger joint, motel,
or parking lot, there's a pretty good
chance it's a bowling aIIey-oh, excuse
me, bowling lane. The bowling Galley"
which for years was next to the bar, or
under the pool hall, is the thing of the
past. The new lanes are furnished with
nurseries, loud speaker systems, and pro
shops.
Seems you don't have to be a baseball
player to open bowling lane. Although Mickey
Mantle, Nelson Fox and the like have led the
way, the footballers are getting into the bust
ness too. L. G. Nong Gomez Dupre and john
ny Unitas will soon open lanes in Baltimore
The number of bowers jumped 20 percent
in the last year and the number of houses
grows with each week.
local example of growth could be the
Twinbrook or Congressional Plaza Lanes. Man.
ager Ned Campbell of Congressional says 6,O16
league bowlers come to his half-million dollar
plant each week. Open bowling, including some
of the league rollers, in practice sessions runs
the total of separate bowling appearances to
nearly 5000 week.
Despite the phenomenal growth OF the
sport, bowling has had its difficulties.
Sports editors are apt to classify bowIers
with chess players and weightlifters. TypI.
