Does Cornell Kickino

have been a bit disappointing
| to the rival crowd at Cam
bridge, because Gogolak is
known for type of swing
that might even make Dizzy
Gillespie envious.
Gogolak was a soccer player
in Hungary before coming to
the United States in 1856 and
when he place-kicks he does
it by approaching the ball from
the side and booting it with
his instep.
He has tremendous knee-ac-
tion," Coach Tom Harp says.
THE only thing we've done
to him is to speed his ap-
proach bit"
Against Colgate in Cornell's
$40 opener, Gogolak had the
type Of day that would have
pleased Lou Groza. He booted
5-for-5 in the extra point de-
partment although one was
disallowed for offsides) and, on
his kickoffs, he struck the up
per post with his first and sent
the next two right through the
uprights.
The other day in parctice
he kicked 10 of IL field goals
from the 30-yard line with a
cross-wind blowing and wound
up his show with a successful
hoist from the so.
Harp. a former Army assist
ant in his first year at Cor
nell. says Gogolak (6-foot-1.
1875 pounds is lone boy we're
not coaching"
But while Gogolak presents
no problems, Harp admits to
some elsewhere. In losing to
Harvard for the first time in
five years, Cornell lost George
Telesh, its senior left halfback,
with a sprained right knee in
the first quarter. Cornell
showed little on offense there
after.
In the $40 opener over COL
gate, Telesh scored three touch
downs on runs of 81, 6 and 2
yards. If high-scoring Telesh is
out of the Navy game, some
folks don't see much hope of
extra point man Gogolak get
ting in. And all of this is max
ing people at Ithaca, N. Y, a
bit sad.
Navy also has lost a starter,
Left End Ed Gill, hospitalized
with a virus infection. He will
miss the game Saturday, Coach
Wayne Hardin said.
Jim Campbell, sophomore
left end on the defensive unit,
will move into ellis spot on
Nays two-way team, and
Sophomore John burden will
take over for Campbell on de-
Tense.
Hardin said that otherwise
the Navy lineup will remain
the same as in the Middies'
17-6 victory over Miami last
week.

Question on Page Dbl

No. /. Pass on first down,
run later. With those lineback-
ers shooting, you should be
able to hit quick passes to
your ends. You may drive
Houston out of that red-dog-
ging. AS to the runs, if you get
a quick opener past a red-dog,
it can go all the way, but for a
game plan, we like the first
down pass. First-down passes
have a higher completion per-
centage than those on any

State Urged to Expand
Community Colleges

colleges, with present full-time
enrolment of approximately
26,4O0, should anticipate an in
crease of 22,1OO full-time stu
dents by 1910.
To Meet Problem
Recommendations to meet
this problem other than build
ing more dormitorieS at resi-
Dental colleges and expanding
the community college set-up
included:
That where the number Of
qualified Virginians applying
exceeds the capacity of the
college to accommodate them,
additional housing be tempo
rarily reserved for qualified
VirginianS.
That the colleges arrange
earlier and more uniform dead
lines in the admissions process.
That the colleges, the State
Department of Education and
the council study possibilities
for more effective guidance of
prospective college students.
That policies on out-of-State
enrollmentS continue to be de-
termined by the individual COL
legeS and universities, with Spe-
cial emphasis on the obligation
of all State-Supported colleges
to assure qualified Virginians
reasonable opportunities to at
tend the college of their choice.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 27
(AP) The State Council of
Higher Education recommended
today expansion of Virginia S
existing community colleges
and development of new ones.
In its biennial report to the
Governor and the General AS
sembly the council also recon-
mended that new dormitories at
the States residential colleges
be given special consideration
in capital building programs for
higher education.
The council said special at
tention should be given to what
it called "the critical needs in
dormitory accommodations for
women"
These proposals were among
10 included in the 40-page re-
port the council filed with the
Governors office.
The recommendations consti-
tute the first phase of a two
phase report to Gov. Almond
and the Legislature.
Cannot Ignore Growth
In the introduction to the re-
port, the council headed by DR..
Dabney S. Lancaster, said:
I'm order to maintain a rank
ing position in mid-20th CEN
tury society, Virginia cannot
afford to ignore or stem the
growth of higher education. No
less important. however, is the
need to allocate increasing ex-
penditures more effectively.
Not only must costly and
waSteful duplication be elm
mated, but unbalanced growth
in programs, services and
facilitieS-must be controlled.
Finally, an equitable distribu-
tion of the cost burden for
higher education must be
achieved"

Reheoring on
Pool Closing

A Montgomery County judge
has reaffirmed his earlier dis
missal of the case of the Merri-
mack Swimming Pool, in subur-
ban Bethesda, Md, which closed
August 16 because of a court
order.
Circuit Court Judge Ralph G.
Shure yesterday dismissed the
Merrimack Park Recreation
Associations motion for a re-
hearing of the two-year legal
fight over a drainage ditch
adjoining its 100000 pool.
Judge Shure said he found
no reason to change his mind
and pointed out that the re-
quired filing of a petition did
not take place within a reason
able time following a court
order.
Samuel B. Groner, attorney
for Merrimack, said today that
he had not yet received a copy
of Judge Shure's decision and
thus has not made up his mind
on the next move by the
association.
The case stemmed from a
refusal by the Montgomery
County Board of Appeals to
issue a special exception for
the swimming pool because of
the 7-foot drainage ditch, which
it termed unsafe and un-
slightly"
The zoning board originally
ordered the pool to close last
spring but it remained open
awaiting the outcome of an
appeal by Mr.. Groner to the
Circuit Court.
Judge Shure dismissed the
appeal August 16, which caused
an immediate closing of the
pool. Some members and their
children picketed the county
court house and office building
protesting the closing.

Miss Widenhouse, who is
known also as Pat Routt, Pat
Rees, Tanya and other profess
sional names, testified under
questioning by Defense Attor-
ney Joseph L, Savage. jr. Re-

whether, Rees himself would
be placed on the stand. He did
not testify at his first trial.
Parents Testify
First defense witnesses to
the stand yesterday were the
parents of the accused. They
told the jury their son came
to their Hyattsville MD home
Monday, January IL. 1859. and
that they could sense nothing
unusual about his appearance
or conduct.
That was the day after the
JacksonS were abducted.
His mother said he left for
his class carrying an electric
razor, but said he didn't look
unshaven to her.
Ccmmonwealth's Attorney T.
Stokeley Coleman rested his
case yesterday afternoon after
a decisive 70 minutes on the
stand by chief prosecution wit
ness George A. Berley.
States Key Evidence
Mr.. Berley, an FBI firearms
expert, took the States two key
pieces Of evidence gun grip
found at the death site, and a
pistol taken from ReeS' home
and said they had once becn-
attached.
He said that markings or
scratches on the right plastic
gun-grip had been made by
burrs on Rees' gun. They were
caused when the gun butt was
used forcibly, such as a club"
Mr.. Berley said.
Using enlarged photographs
made through his comparative
microscope, Mr.. Berley pointed
out corresponding ridges and
valleys on the right grip and
on a piece Of test material
rubbed against the gun butt.
He pointed out that these burrs
leave markings as identifiable
as fingerprints.
The prosecution also pre-
Sented testimony yesterday to
convince the jury that Rees
was familiar with the Central
area where the kid
naping took place.
Followed by ReeS
Thornton M. Shackelford,
GordonSville newspaper carrier,
said that on an early Sunday
two weeks before the
abduction he was followed by
Rees from Louisa County into
Gordonsville.
He said Rees-the witness
it impossible" that
he was wrong about the identi-
fication-began following him
at the intersection of U. S.
Routes Is and 33.
Inside Gordonsville, he said,
Rees stopped his car beside his

a close look at him under
street light. He said the de-
fendant then drove on and he
never saw him again until the

earlier he returned to the

kitchen. She declared today
Mr. MoSer did not arrive there
until 10 or IL o'clock the next

The defense produced a pros
ecution witness this morning as
the trial resumed in a crowded
courtroom. William Flynn, a
Washington music store opera
tor, testified before Judge John
D. Butzner, jr., that Rees
worked as a music teacher in
his store on January IL, 1859,
the day after the Jacksons dis
appeared. He said ReeS gave
instruction to seven students
and two bands the day after
