ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 8.-There
Is concern in Navy's football
ranks today about Virginia.
Somewhere, some day, Vir-
ginia's losing streak must stop
and Navy fears the night

Cavaliers will pick Saturday
in Annapolis as the time and
place.
Coach Wayne Hardin has

somewhat crestfallen after last
Saturdays loss to Duke. But
just how do you get a team
up" for an opponent that has
to think a while to recall its
last victory.
For those who like coinci-
dences. Virginia's last victory
was over Duke, the team that
stopped Navy's winning streak
at 10 games. That Cavalier
victory was recorded in the
second game Of the 1858 season.
Since then the Cavaliers have
lost "a straight.
"NOb0dy's Happy"
"Nobody's happy here" Har-
din says. AFTER all, we lost.
We can still have a good year,
but right now our biggest worry
is Virginia. They are the talk
Of their conference (the Allan
tic Coast Conference) because
you look at their offensive sta
tistics and you wonder why
they're losing"

The Cavaliers were of last
week and no doubt made good
use Of the time. The previous
week. Wake Forest handed
them their oath straight defeat
on an afternoon that Virginia
led in rushing by 100 yards.
Tied in Offense
Virginia Tech handed Vir-
ginia its 23d straight loss, 40-6.
but that margin is not reflected
in the statistics either. In
total offense the teams tied,
with 235 yards each. But an
89-yard kickoff return by Terry
Strock and a 70-yard punt re-
turn by Johnny Watkins helped
send the Cavaliers tumbling.
And so it has gone this sea-
son, with the Cavaliers show
ing offensive power, but look
ing woefully weak in other
phases. particularly pass de-
fense.
With 26 lettermen returning
among the largest squad nu-
merically and physically ever
to turn out, Virginia thought
better things were around the
corner.
Virginia's scoring has i'm
proved. The Cavaliers were
shut out four times in 10 games
last season. when they scored
a total of 80 points to 393 for
their opponents. In six games
this season they haven't been
shut out and already have II
points to 1856 for their op-
ponents.

The first hint of an eventual
change in coaching command
of the Redskins came up at yes
terday's weekly press luncheon
where club officials probed
among the ruins Of Sundays
AIT loss to the st. Louis
Cardinals for the reason for the
teams collapse.
Owner George Marshall said
no changes are contemplated
now, but left no doubt that
there will be some If the team
doesn't wake up and win a few
of its last six games. There
doesn't seem to be much chance
of turning over a new leaf Sun
day against the fired-up
Eagles in Philadelphia.
Coach Mike Nixon, who has
been under terrific pressure
since the start Of the season,
named several apparent rea-
sons for the st. Louis debacle.
But nobody seems to have a
cure. Nixon sent the squad
through an unusual Monday
workout as a disciplinary"
measure, but the players took
it in stride without protest.
May Start Reynolds
The coach also said he may
start Quarterback M. c. Rey-
nolds against the Eagles, re-
placing Ralph Guglielmi.
cts his team" the former
Notre Dame All-America said,
when appraised of the possible
switch. II do the best I can,
but if a change will help the
team, I'm for it"
Nixon also said the players
would have to show more savvy
if they hope to win, blaming
some knuckle-headed work as
part Of the reason for the loss
in st. Louis. Linebacker Bob
Whitlow was fingered as the
man responsible for Jerry Nor
toms 26-yard run on a fake
punt, which proved to be the
turning point Of the game.

was to force Norton to punt, "

ed this out to Whitlow and
cautioned him to be sure asd
stay out. But the next time
they lined up to punt their end
moved in even closer. Whitlow
moved in with him and Norton
took off,"
Underrated Cardinals
Someone, wondering that a
player should grossly disregard
the coach's instructions, asked
If a fine would be in order.
You can't fine a guy for
trying" Mike replied. He
honestly thought he had a
chance to block the kick. We
didn't care about that-we only
wanted to make such Norton
kicked. At least he was trying"
Nixon wasn't sure that the
extra day spent in st. Louis
Saturday hurt the team. He
thought it might have taker
the edge of their weeks work
by having to spend an extra
day in a strange city with
nothing to do. But the chief
cause Of the Redskins defeat,
he said, was they (the Card
inals) were a better team than
our kids thought they WERE"
1--WE were phlegmatic," he
went on. Football is a funny
game. When a team gets the
jump on you, that team espe-
cially, it gets warm and then
hot, end it snowballs on you"
Nixon said he ordered yes
terday's practice because toe
many Of his men were too COM
placent. and felt that pro foot
ball was a game in which "you
put on your uniform Sunday
afternoon and go out and play
a game" He also said he may
have been too lenient with
them.
"A team that played as ba6
as we did against the Cardinals
should scrimmage the next
day." he said.

Sword Dancer Hurt in Drill
i S Out Of International
Trainer Reveals
Brookmeude Star
Has Run Lost Race
BY JOSEPH B. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Brookmeade Stables Sword
Dancer was withdrawn today
from Fridays Washington, D.
C., International at Laurel
Race Course. Trainer Elliott
Burch said a wrenched ankle
suffered in Sword Dancers mile
workout Sunday forced him to
take the 1859 horse Of the year
out Of the race.
Burch revealed Sword Dancer
has run his last race. He said
the horse would be sent to the
Darby Dan Farm at Versailles,
KY, to stand at stud in 1851.
The loss of Sword Dancer
left the United States with only
the Cain Hoy Stables Bald
Eagle-winner Of the race last
year-to face nine foreign ri
walls in the mile le-and-a-half turf
classic.
Laurel officials Immediately
sought the Bohemia Stables
Kelso to fill in. although it was
doubtful If the 3-year-old colt,
now stabbed at Belmont Park,
could be made ready on such a
short notice.
Injury Isn't Serious
Mrs. Richard c. dupont,
owner Of the Bohemia Stable,
earlier had told the American
Selection Board that she would
hold her colt, who has won
eight out Of nine races this
year. in reserve in case either
Sword Dancer or Bald Eagle
was forced to withdraw.
Trainer Burch said he does
not consider Sword Dancers in
jury too serious but DR.. George
Palmer. a veterinarian, thought
that it would be impossible to
have the 4-year-old colt ready
to run on Friday. although he is
responding to treatment.
IF Sword Dancer was a
cheaper horse we would have
run in the race Friday" Burch
declared. But I could not take
chances with such a valuable
horse. He would have had to
miss a workout scheduled for
tomorrow and would have dis
rupted his entire training
schedule.
Hard Luck for Arcaro
Brookmeade Stable is owned
by Isabel Dodge Sloane Of Vir-
ginia and New York.
Withdrawal of Sword Dancer
leaves Jockey Eddie Arcaro
without a mount. He would be
available to ride Kelso, if Mrs.
DUPONT decides to accept her
invitation to the International.
The incident today revived
memories of a similar occurrence
in 1854, when the King Ranch's
High Gun was forced out Of the
International 48 hours before
the event. c. v. Whitney's fish
erman stepped in as . last min
ute substitute and registered a
brilliant triumph for Americas
first victory in the event.
If Kelso is not sent to Laurel
and it looked like a longshot
today-it would mark the first
time in nine runnings Of the
International that America had
only one representative in the
race.

Co|onia|s Aim
To Put VPl
Out Of Race
BY GEORGE HUBER
Star stan Writer

George Washington's football
team, the patsy Of the South
ern Conference last season but
now taking on a kingmaker
role, gets q chance to remove
Virginia Tech from contention
Friday night at Griffith Sta
dunn.
This will be the Colonials'
last home game Of the year
and their first game with VP1
since beating the Gobblers,
1877. in 1855.
VPI already has been badly
bent by last weeks ct upset
loss to Davidson. Other con-
ference contenders are Virginia
Military. the defending cham
pion which already has beaten
CIV, and The Citadel, q 1914
loser to the Colonials in It's
only setback in or out Of the
conference.
VPI Will Be on Rebound
The Colonials as yet don't
know what effect the Davidson
game will have on VPI. II
probably left the Gobblers
fighting mad, and they'll be
more like tigers when they
tangle with CIV.
Coach Bill Elias sums up
GW's chances against VPI as
pretty good, in fact better
than we had figured at the
start Of the year.
I'VE feel we have q chance
against anybody we play. We
know Virginia Tech has the
personnel and we have respect
for them. but don't sell my boys
short" he added.
Coach Issues Warning
At Blacksburg, Coach Frank
Moseley is certain his VPI team
won't be selling CIV short.
CIV has the momentum now"
he said, referring to the Co.
lonials' streak of a tie and two
victories. "but I think we'll
be ready. This is a good bunch
Of boys and they ought to re-
cover fairly fast"
For the second straight week
the Gobblers may be without
the services of Quarterback
Warren Price, whose absence
hurt last week. The Techmen
haven't alibied their unexpect-
ed loss. but Prices injury and
several other things appear
to have contributed to the set
back.
One VPI apparent touch
down was called back because
Of clipping. and on another oc-
casion a VPI man dropped a
pass when there was nothing
between him and the goal line
except a few white stripes.
Apparently Davidson went
into the game hoping to hold
down the score, and got lucky.
It played close to its vest, tax
ing a lot Of time in the huddle
and in getting off plays and
produced nothing fancy. vPI
was left feeling very frustrated
and ready to chaw up its next
opponent. which happens to
be CIV.
