Dear S. Mem:
Any color you dye your

your black and walnut furn-
iture and your blue walls.
Perhaps you could bleach
them to a snowy white-that
would be my preference.

Dear Mrs. ]. r.
With the new washable

Explains Passing Game
This also freed Vern Won

ing down passes and setting up

also picked off a pass and re-
turned it 26 yards, the second

There was some wonder as
to why Navy didn't attempt
any long passes. considering
the Cavaliers known defi-
ciencies in that department.
Hardin had a ready explana-
ton. He said Navy is primarily
a short-passing team and the
short passes (Ron Klemick was
II for 25) were there to be
taken.
About the only other ques-
ton was why Navy, facing a
/ fourth and seven on the Vir-
ginia IL in the fourth quar-
ter, went for the touchdown
rather than the field goal. If
Greg Mather had kicked the
fielder, he would have tied the

in terms of records. Whether
we led by 10 or 13 points hardly

tions.. There were a half-dozen
in the game, each club making
three.
Navy, with the game we'll ir
hand in its big one with Army
coming up, never had reason tt
get very fancy. Virginia, locked
for them most part in its owr
territory, never could.
From the Middies' standpoint
two moves-one before the
game and one during it-were
the highspots.
Sai'S Biggest Day
Last week, Johnny Sal was
elevated to the two-way unit
and now he's there to stay. Sal
a souatty, hard runner with
good speed, scored the games
only touchdowns and finished
as the top rusher with 81 yards
on II carries.
Just as important to Hardin
Sal acquitted himself admirably
on defense in his first major
test. And his move, which re-
suits in Carl Fink going to full
back, gives the Middies outside
runners in both positions.
The move made during the
game wasn't as conspicuous, but
lit may have been just as i'm
portant-to Navy and Virginia
The Cavaliers uncorked two
good drives the first two times
they had possession, but got
nothing more out of them than
a field goal.
The breaks, as Hardin saw it,
were applied chiefly by Erwin

Anybody who saw the game
Saturday at Annapolis would
say that the difference between
the offenses was rather simple
-Navy's was Sputtering while
Virginia's was missing.
Both Wayne Hardin and Bill
Elias go back to the drawing
board this week. The object,
of course, is to put more pep
in the old model-T.
Navy won, 1873, but the
Middies' free-wheeling offense
hasn't produced more than two
touchdowns in any Of the last
four games. Three times in the
final quatrer Saturday Navy
was inside the Virginia 10, but
failed to score.
Both Praise Defenses
The fact that the Middies
have won two OF those last
four games speaks we'll for the
defense. And yesterday Hardin
did the speaking.
He figured he got an A-plus
effort from his defensive unit.
More of the same came from
Elias, who also liked Virginia's
behavior on defense. The
coaches always like to look at
the bright side of things.
The fact that neither team
did more extensively could be
attributed, of course, to the
rival defenses and to intercept
