to some of the members Of the
Southern Conference press tour
who visited the West Virginia
training camp before the sea-
son. One writer from North
Carolina sent word back to his
paper that West Virginia could
take on Cuba.
But, while Morgantown was
still savoring the skinning of
the Panthers, George Washing
ton already was planning
ahead. In the dressing room
Saturday at DC. Stadium,
Coach Jim Camp locked the
doors to the gladhanders for a
few minutes and shifted his
teams attention Immediately
from Boston U. to the Noun
taineers.
"I told them they played a
hell of a football game. They
let up a little bit in the second
half but they eliminated most
of their mistakes Of the pre-
vious games. We've got a head
of steam up and our one
thought right now is getting
ready for West Virginia"

The West Virginia encourage

through 1t all Coach Gene
Corum retained his customary
calm. 1--WE knew Pitt would be
a real test, but we felt sure we
could win. This team has a lot
of pride, a lot Of character" he
said.
One rooter was not so calm.
"I'll guarantee you," he an

all of them were surprised"

Khayat Earns
Writers Vote
As Top Player

1t was only one play, and
he had another fellow helping
him, but Bobby Khayat's %
yard field goal that brought
the Redskins a 17-17 tie with
the Cardinals won him the
most valuable player award.
Khayat, who centered the
ball for Doug Elmore's punts,
nosed out Quarterback Norman
Snead by a 1913 vote in the
sportswriters' weekly balloting.
Halfbsck Billy Barnes, one Of
the teams real unsung heroes.
and Linebacker Bob Pellegrini
also figured in the running.
Dick James, the clubs most
valuable player last year, held
the ball for Khayat's all i'm
portant kick.
Examination Of the teams
injuries yesterday turned up
nothing too serious, although
Bill Anderson's damned thumb
may keep him out Of this weeks

HE came to me and ex-
planned that he wouldn't be
able to catch a pass in the
last period at st. Louis be-
cause Of the thumb" Coach
Bill MrPeak said, so we put
Steve Junker In. Bill and Steve
are about on par. We're lucky
to have a couple like them"
Guard John Nisby's ankle
gave him so much trouble he
had to be replaced by Rookie

last drive. Otherwise the Red

NIT freedom to die, either by

lieve that there is need for the
entire world to understand and
to correctly assess Americas
commitment to freedom. Unless
we convince foreign govern

say, that we cherish liberty as
greatly today as did the found
ers of this nation, we take the
