-Four Dismissed
By SMU Coach

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. II (AP)
Bill Meek, Southern Meth
odist University football coach,
yesterday dropped four players
from the squad, including Gary
Ferguson, first-string tackle,
and the No. touchdown pass
catcher, End James (Bud)
Jones.
Meek said the players vio-
lated training rules and were
removed for disciplinary rea-
sons" He would not explain
further.
The Mustangs are near the
end of a disappointing season
after being preseason favorites
to win the Southwest Confer
ence title. They have won 4,
lost 3 and tied one.
The others ousted from the
team are j. T. Davis, a senior
guard who has seen little serv-
ice, and James Hooks. a junior
end who has not played in any
games.

Erskine Trying
To Take Cooper's S
Two Ring Titles

DONDON, Nov. II (AP).-
Henry Cooper, British and En-
pire heavyweight boxing cham
pion, defends his titles tonight
against Joe ErSkine in a Is
round fight that could change
the placings in the worlds
top 10.
Cooper is ranked fifth behind
Champion Ingemar Johansson.
Erskine is No. 7.
Cooper, a 5-to-4 choice to-
night. jumped into world
prominence with a controver-
sial victory over Americas Fora
Foley some 13 months ago.
Then he shrugged off cut eyes
and jabbed his way to the
British and Empire Titles with
victory over Brian London.
The two titles were expected
to give him a crack at Floyd
Patterson, then world cham
pion. But Cooper wanted too
much money.

The Washington Presidents,
with four victories in their last
five games, will be out to stop
the New Haven Blades at $50
tonight at Uline Arena.
The Presidents have won six
of their last seven games on
home ice and currently are on
a two-game winning streak
which has earned them first
place in the Southern Division
of the Eastern Hockey League.
Player Coach Rags Raglan
recently made a change in the
defensive setup of the team,
placing himself with Capt.
Moose Lallo on one tandem and
putting Bob Bingley and Lloyd
Hinchberger on another. The
team has been on the upgrade
since.
Danny Patrick, 21-year-old
center who has missed the last
three games because of a shoul-
der injury, will return to action
tonight. Patrick's insertion to-
the lineup is expected to give
Washington a much-needed
offensive lift.
He has scored only eight
points, but his aggressive play
always is a factor in setting up

scorer with 13 points.
The Blades. despite being
tied with New York for last
place in the Northern Division

Goalie Gaetan Dessureault.
Davidson, with is points, is

AS for the early National
Football League draft, coming

work any hardship on the
coaches. Until the All-America
Conference came into existence
and began bidding for the

at the annual meeting in jan

the owners put in an early,
four-round draft in a move to
scoop off the cream of the col

Two former National Football
League coaches, Joe Kuharich
and Steve Owen, were on hand
to watch the Redskins battle the
Cleveland Browns here Sum-
day, and a mind-reader would
have had a field day if tuned
in on them during the exciting
fracaS.
Kuharich, now professor Of
pigSkin psychology at Notre
Dame after a term with the
Redskins, must have squirmed
as s-he looked down from George
Marshall's box on some of the
calls on the field below. The
boys in white pants called
some lulus on Joe's teams dur
ing his pro career, especially
one Chuck Sweeney, an old
schoolmate from Notre Dame.
We had the impression that
Sweeney, being a fellow alum
nus, bent over backward to be
fair to Joe'S opponent, and
sometimes lost his balance. He
caused Kuharich more anguish
than two forgetful guards, and
cost him a couple of decisions
in the bargain.
There was a rumor before
the game that Kuharich, whose
team bowed to Pitt the day
before, was here to discuss a
deal with Marshall whereby
he would return as head coach
of the Redskins next season
in return for a financial in
terest in the club. 1t didn't
ring true, and before the first
half ended a reporter, running
it down, got one-word answer
from Joe:
Ridiculous"
That was our first impress
sion. But then, looking at a

dressing room after the game.
we were struck with the
thought the he's had about
enough of the petty pickering
with rival club owners, hassles
over playing schedules, argu-
ments about radio and TV
rights, and, more recently,
about the proposed stadium
here. He looked like a man
ready to let somebody else do

Marshall has had offers to
sell the Redskins from several
sources, including Texas, but
insisted that he wanted to re-
tain control for 10 years. That
was a year ago. Now we're
not to sure that he won't be
ready to sell, or at least dele
gate everything in the hands

1.-THE greatest value of merit

Georges Counties at their an
nual dinner December 3.
The system gives credit to
the careful driver for his good
driving record and rewards him
with the lower insurance rates,
and penalties the poorer driver
with higher rates, he said, just
as the "plant that manufactures
dynamite pays higher premiums
than the one that manufactures
door knobs"
Book said that while the ere
distribution of automobile acct
dent costs is commendable," it
is the "pocketbook penalty in
herent in the plan" that will
help reverse the driving habits
of a percentage of the chronic
speeders and chance-takers."
The plan may also have a
good effect on the new driver
whose habits are not yet set
because of the realization that
good habits will pay, Book
noted. However, he did caution
those present that while there
will be improvement, not every
careless driver will respond.
He then explained how the
system may work. The insur-
ance company assigns each type
accident and violation a certain
point value, and at the end of
a specified period-two, three
or more years-the points will
be totaled and the insurance
rates adjusted upwards or down
wards according to the number
of accumulated points.

tions vary from one point for

ing. Rates are adjusted down.

out.
That information is available
