Disputed Shots
Give WI Win
Over erWarriors

Pete Yelverton's two disputed
free throws after the final
buzzer last night gave Wash
ington-Lee High School a 44-42
victory over Wakefield, but ac-
cording to Robbie Robinson,
Wakefleld's coach, Yelverton
shouldn't have been at the foul
line.
Wakef1eld's Jerry Spadetti
fouied a Wakefield player while
trying to drive in for a shot in
the final 2 seconds of the
Northern Virginia Group l
game at Wakefield.
Yelverton stepped to the line
and sank the first attempt.
Robinson charged on the court
claiming that Pete Peterson,
not Yelverton, was the player
fouled and should have been at
the foul line. After a lengthy
discussion. Yelverton was al
lowed to shoot again, although
officials admitted they were not
sure he was the one that was
fouled. He made the shot to
make the final score 44-42.
Basketball rules state that If
any free throw is made by a
player other than the one en-
titled to it, the attempt shall
be counted as successful or un-
successful. If such thrower had
reasonable opportunity to know
he was not entitled to the
throw, it is technical foul for
unSportSmanlike conduct.
The lead changed hand II
times and was tied five times
before Wakefleld's Buddy Sped
den sank two free throws to
make it 42-all with 80 seconds
remaining. WI then lost the
ball with two seconds left and
Spadetti committed the foul to
touch of the furor.

This particular tenpin bowler

That was about 6 o'clock. At

Mr.. Adams could get my re-

signed with Baltimore also.
Later I realized how wrong
1 had been. I sent word to
Baltimore and sent my bonus

first and want to play with
Houston.
MY confusion over this con-
tract signing came because the

Sam deserves all the adula-

uncanny the way that fellow
follows the ball"
Behind Berry and Parker in

Bay Tackle Forest Gregg, all
with 2 votes. Getting a vote
apiece were End Doug Atkins
of the Bears, Guard Jim Ray
Smith Of the Browns, Guard
Art Spinney of the Colts and
Guard Roosevelt Brown of the
Giants.
The tackle-hungry and al
most toothless Huff, a product
Of West Virginia, undoubtedly
is the key man of the Giants
awesome defense which, in
each Of the last two years has
yielded a league low of 3.6
yards per opponents carry.
Weighing 230 pounds, he is
strong enough to fiatten a
power-packing fullback, swift
enough to recover from a block
in time to nail a fleet halfback
and smart enough to diagnose
pass patterns and knife through
to smear a quarterback.
Own Cheering Section
Time was when hero-wor-
shipping in football was con-
fined to the touchdown happy

reasons why, in recent years,
the defensive player has in
spired his own band of fol-
lowers. Yankee Stadium fans
line Up four deep in the mez-
canine each Sunday the Giants

favorite. Every time the 25-
year-old mangler brings down
a ball carrier, which is quite
often-the fans rumble out a
cheer like that of a chugging
engine:
Huff-Huff-H -Huff-Huf."
| Huff was the third draft
choice Of the Giants in 1855.
At first the coaching staff
didn't know what to do with
him. He seemed too light for
the defensive line, a step too
slow for offensive guard. But
| in the third game of the
season, the Giants middle
linebacker was hurt, and Huff
got the job.

The modest protests of Balti-

yesterday as the pro football
player Of the year, were an
swered in part today when
Linebacker Sam Huff Of the
New Yor': Giants was picked
as the best lineman Of the year
in the National Football League.
The two standouts, who will
clash head-to-head in Sundays
championship game in Balti-
more. almost ran away with
the voting by 81 writer's who
cover NIL games.
Unitas was picked first on 20
ballots, with Chuck Conerly,
the Giants quarterback, next
with seven flrst-place votes. In
the poll on the linemen, Huff
was picked first on 18 ballots,
with End Raymond Berry and
Tackle Jim Parker Of the Colts
tying for second with five each.
Unitas Points to Others
Baltimore's passing wizard,
who led the Colts to their Sec
ond straight Western Division
title, was a bit fiuStered after
winning the player-of -the-year
vote.
Il was overwhelmed, it's such
a terrific honor" Unitas said.
But a lot Of other guys in the
league deserve it more than I
do"
The 6-foot-1, 1902 poun d
alumnuS of Louisville U. pointed
specifically to Conerly, Huff and
Guard Bill George Of the Bears.
However, Unitas has been the
most talked-about player in
the league. The 26-year-old
signal caller, finishing his
fourth pro season, connected
for 1913 passes, gained 1899
yards and threw 80 touchdown
passes to shatter the record of
% set by Sid Luckman of the
Bears in 1943.
UnitaS also stretched to 81
his record of consecutive games
in which he tossed touchdown
passes.
Conerly, his chief rival, won
the leagues passing title with
an 8.79-yard average per at
tempt and tipped IA touch
down passes.
Behind Conerly came Full
back Jim Brown, Cleveland's
ground-g gaining leader, 5 votes;
HUFF. 3, and Berry and Half
back J. D. Smith of San Fran
cisco, l each.
The vote for HUFF as the best
lineman was upheld by his

chances for victory depend on
their ability to score.
Early in the season, he said
flatly, I'VE aren't trying to set

The score of last years cham

teams was 1917, even though
1t took the Colts 8 minutes of
overtime to score the winning
touchdown.
Clifford Option Feared
One defensive play the Colts
are particularly wary of is the
run-paSs option executed so
ably by Frank Clifford. the
Giants ace halfback.
THE way you have to try to
stop it, is to get to him quickly
and force him to show his hand
right away" said Charlie Win
ner, defensive coach. But at
the same time you have to be
careful, because they want to
pull your defenders in so he
can pass over them"

Conerly was quoted as saying
that regardless of weather con-

should be able to turn the

FOUNDERS DAY SPEAKERS
PRISE BOOKER 7. WASHINGTON

Noting the several professional
courses and the recently establish

quietly raise the question as to
who won the battle - industrial

and his critics early in this GEN.
tury." He explained that, "to raise
the question is not to answer it.,
for the answer is neither simple
nor obvious"
Franklin concluded that the
answer lies in the way which the
Founder infused a spirit of ex-
Fermentation and searching into
the basic philosophy of the insti-
tuition. He said, "In that light
Washington won the battle that he
was fighting for his own institu-
tion-the battle involving the per-
sistent search for solutions to
problems, and the battle involving
the recognition of new problems
arising out of new conditions"
DR.. Franklin, in summing up the
differences in the approaches to
full citizenship in Washington's
time and ours said Zone of the
major differences is the opportu-
nifty that exists today for Negroes
to struggle in every manly way
to use a Washington phrase-to
achieve full citizenship" The
speaker praised the example which
has been set in the Tuskegee COM
munity of the calm, dignified dis
charge of all the responsibilities of
citizenship. He stated that this
adult approach to a real problem
has won the approval and admira-
ton of millions around the world.
DR.. Franklin added, GAS this
community has become a major
center for the advancement af edu-
cation, health and general welfare
of a whole group of disadvan-
tagged people, it has taken its place
as a major force in modifying the
social fabric of the entire region"
