But Dale pulled the North

Betty didn't play a minute of
defense in high school, and was
hurt most of his freshman sea-
son at Maryland. Last year he
was moved up to No. 2 quar-

a leg muscle and was out for
the remainder of the season.
Actually, he never has had
much of a chance.
Nugent said Betty has strong
hands, understands the offense
and is a good passer. His
handicaps are that many of
the linemen beat him in the
wind sprints. and that he's
never played much defense.

SPRING PRACTICE BAN HURTS
Ivy Needs to Restore
Enthusiosm-BIoik

1948 team, returned victorious
from Wisconsin. You have
only to listen to the Harvard
band playing outside Dillon
Field House after a Crimson

A Suggested Program
The Ivy League has shown
the way in placing football
within the proper academic
framework. Its standards are
unequaled by any other con-
ference and are the same for
all undergrads. Any effort to
ease the sfock of education to
athletes o. non-athlete would
be met with faculty revulSion
and firm repulsion. But today's
standards relatively are no diff
ferent than they were in the
'30s. Even scholarship aid,
based on need, which most
football players can prove, is as
available now to Ivy League
players as it always has been.
But, by eliminating spring
practice, the Ivies have bred
a general philosophy that win
ming is not important. The re-
sultant brand Of play fails to
enthuse even their own under
graduates.
All this could be changed,
wit h out lowering academic
standards or in any way over
emphasizing the game. These
are some gratuitous sugges-
tionS:
/. Permit 20 days of spring
practice for the freshman and
sophomore classes.
2. Support unlimited substi-
tuition to get the most out of
material that is good but linn
tied in depth.
3. Schedule yearly a Georgia
Tech, Michigan, Texas or STAN
ford game and thus eradicate
the impression the Ivy League
is an exclusive club, unwilling
to risk the adventure of inter-
sectional competition.
This, I suggest, is the same
contribution the Ivy League
can make to American college
football. And the way should
be led by Yale and Harvard
the schools that gave us the
game.

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS

Don't be surprised if there
is much discussion across the
river this winter about the
l959-60 basketball schedule in
the Northern Virginia Group !
League. There could be a mon
umental rhubarb, but let's hope
not.
Back on June II, athletic di-
rectorS from the 13 (then)
member schools ended a
months work and drew up a
master basketball schedule for
the Northern District. The
league was split into two divi-
sions. Fairfax, Falls Church,
James Madison, Mclean, Wake
field and Washington-Lee we're
Jumped in Division /. AMMAN
dale. George Washington. Ham
mond, Groveton, Lee. Mount
Vernon and Jeb Stuart made
up Division II.
The idea was that each team
would play each member of its
own division twice and every
team in the other division
once. When a member sched-
uled two games with a team
from the other division. one
didn't count.
Later in the summer Osbourn
Of Manassas was admitted to
the Group I category. 1t was
agreed that Osbourn's football
and basketball games against
Group I opponents would not
count in the league standings,
because schedules already had
been set up. BY next spring
Osbourn's baseball team prob
ably could be fitted easily into
a round-robin arrangement.
But the Virginia High School
League insisted that Osbourn's S
football games count in the
district standings. After that
ruling, the Northern District
athletic directors sensed they
had better do the same in bas-
ketball, else Osbourn may be
made eligible on a retroactive
basis in mid-season.
Osbourn was made a member
of Division 1, thereby matching
the other division with seven
teams. theoretically, every dis
trict basketball team now would
play 10 league games. But Os-
bourn has only II Group ]
games and can't get any more,
as all schedules are filled to the
20-game limit.
Also, it was decided that all
Group I games should count for
schools which had scheduled
two games with a team from
the other division. So now we
have Osbourn playing only IL
games and a half-dozen other
members playing 20 and five

BY COL. RED BLAIK
Former Army Football Coach

Former Army Football Coach
Saturday, in the Bowl, Yale
and Harvard will meet for the
18th time. 1t is still The Game
to old Crimsons and Blues. 1t
is still the queen of Ivy League
battles. But it does not carry
the wallop nationally it once
did.
There is a good reason. Yale
and Harvard and the other six
Ivy League colleges, by main
tanning almost exclusively in
sular schedules, have invited
other sections to regard Ivy
football as inferior.
Even for its own supporters,
Ivy League games lack the ap-
peal they held 20 years ago or
even following World War II.
Sellout crowds used to be
frequent; today, attendances
are relatively sparse. For ex-
ample. Saturday, october 10,
an ideal autumn day, saw five
important and seemingly at
tractive games involving Ivy
teams: Yale-Cornell, Harvard
Columbia. Pennsylvania Brown,
Decentralization College and
Princeton Colgate. Yet the
total attendance announced
was only $1,000.
In the 80, the Ivies held
their own or better with such
outside powers as Ohio State,
Georgia, Texas. Michigan and
Stanford. Is there that much
difference in the material to-
day? Let me quote an Ivy
League athletic official:
"Overall, there is more talent
than there ever was. And it
does not arrive unsolicited and
unwelcomed. 1t would make
interesting research, as a case
in point, to compare the ratio
Of football players and nom
players among Ivy enrollees
from certain western PennSyl-
vania townships. Even the Big
Ten complains Ivy League
schools are getting too many
Of their good boys"
Deliberate DOwngrading
If there has been no fall-off
of m terial, what is the
answer? Simply this: The game
has been purposely devaluated.
1t is exactly the kind of game
the Ivy League presidents want
not good enough to create
too much enthusiasm: not bad
enough to evoke more than a
faint protesting murmur from
alumni.
The devaluation was set in
motion by the elimination of
spring practice. There is con-
siderable irony here. There are
no round-the-calendar restric-
tions for crewmen, swimmers,
lacrosse and baseball players.
But the Ivy League football
player, who usually needs more
coaching than at institutions
with less rigid academic re-
quirements, is denied this extra
help.
BY eliminating spring prac-
tice, the president downgraded
Ivy football. 1t naturally fol-
lowed that the incentive of the
gifted player to excel was
diluted. He soon learned his
football ambition was not
really important. If it is less
important to others, it can
hardly be more important to
the players.
Therein lies the answer to the
question raised by several Ivy
officials: Why do many of our
great prospects fail to live up
to their promise?" Ivy football
has been de-emphasized, as
planned, in the mind of the
player, undergraduate and
alumnus. And this is a handi-
cap no football player or team
can overcome.
Strangely enough, the old
spirit of the sos is not dead. l
recall vividly I was all but
manned in the crush of the
Ellis, who had poured down out
of the stands to shower
approval on their team that
beat Army in 1855.
And I recall reading about

FLETCHER AND NoVAK OUT
Virginia Game Gives
Betty est as Storter
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Stan Writer

Dale Betty's two starring
roles as Maryland quarterback
this season have been in the
role Of a spot performer. This
week he gets a tougher test
playing against a team that
has had almost a week to work
against ais passing.
And even though winless
Virginia is providing the oppo-
sition Saturday afternoon at
College Park. the Terps still
need an offense.
Coach Tom Nugent had
planned to continue to use
Betty in certain situations, but
Dale emerged as No. / quarter
back yesterday when it ap-
peared both Richie Novak and
Dwayne Fletcher will be lost
for the Virginia game. Novak
probably will be out for the
season.
Breaks Arm in Game
Novak suffered a fractured
radius Of the left arm late in
the last quarter Of the Glenn
son game. His arm will not be
placed in a cast, but it is doubt
ful If he plays either Saturday
or against North Carolina
State December 5.
Fletcher has showed some
improvement from a sprained
ankle. He was on crutches SUM-
day, but reduced his extra
equipment to a cane yesterday.
Unless there are some train
ing miracles. it appears both
Novak and Fletcher will be on
the sidelines and that the
quarterbacking will be up to
Betty, who his teammates call
THE Fly" and Cowboy"
Henry.
Betty gets his nickname be-
cause he's captain of the green
shirted team. which is known
as the Green Hornets" The
quarterback of the hornets is
the fly. Dale gets the bzzz, bzzz
treatment when he joins a
huddle.
Coach Has Confidence
Nugent has solid confidence
in Betty, and oddly enough,
the coach gained more in
Betty's miserable afternoon
against Syracuse than I'M
Dale's brilliant performance
against Clemson last Saturday
I'VE all had a bad day against
Syracuse" Nugent said, bust |
ed signals, backs going the
wrong way, ends forgetting as
signments, poor blocking, etc.
But every time Betty would
come back to the bench he
would say Coach, it's all my
fault. I don't know why I'm
having such a miserable day."

Answer
Question on Page D-2)

4. Pass. Don't call this one.
With the ground attack going,
an interception means unhappy
alumni.
3. End run. No. In this area.
an end run usually goes for a
touchdown or a loss. Why take
a chance on a loss?
2. Run outside the tackle.
Not a bad call. The play forces
the tackle to lateral movement.
l. Run at the tackle. Best
call. The tackle is the big man,
but he's been jolted. Pound
through him for the score.
