USC Trounces
Army 28-6 In
Freezing Tilt
NEW YORK, Nov. 3—(AP)—
Frank Gifford and his bruising
Southern California teammates
surmounted miserable weather
conditions to trounce Army’s poor
but honest Cadets, 28 to 6, before
a corporal’s guard of 16,508 shiv
ering fans at Yankee Stadium to
day.
The powerful Trojans, unde
feated in collegiate play this sea
son and No. 1 choice to represent
the coast in the Rose Bowl, spot=
ted the post-scandal West Point
team a quick first period touch
down and then came back in the
snow and slush to smash cut a
convincing victory in which Army
did not earn a first down.
~ Snow came down steadily
through the first three periods.
Army Score
. The contest was only four min
utes and 20 seconds old when Dick
Reich splottered across for an
fi;my score from the two-yard
e.
This had been set up by a guick
kick on first down which caught
the Trojans completely by sur
prise, The sunny Californians
were so upset, in fact. That they
promptly fumbled and gave the
ball away on their own three.
Reich finally made it on fcurth
down. g
But, as it turned out, that was
to be the very last gesture by
Coach Earl Blaike’s plebes and
sophomores through the cold and
dreary afternoon.
Never since football was born
at West Point, probably, has a
Cadet team taken such a whipping
on the statistics. The burly Tro
jans piled up 23 first downs to
none. They gained 391 yarcs
rushing t 6 Army’s net loss of 10.
They passed the slippery sphere
for a gain of 55 yards to Army’s
10.
44 Yard Drive
Pat Duff, a substitute fullback,
went-14 for the Trojans’ first score
at the end of a 30-yard push early
in the second period. Gifford’s
runs had set it up. Cosimo Cutri
swept end for three and the second
touchdown just before the half to
cap a 44-yard drive.
Harold Han splashed a yard for
the third score late in the third
period after Gifford had banked
throtigh the Army’s line for the 32.
John Williams, a defensive back,
raced a Cadet punt back 65 yards
for the final counter a couple of
minutes later. Never once after
the first period did the outclassed
soldiers have possession of the ball
past midfield.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3—(AP)
Triple-threat Dickie Lewis led a
dazzling covey of William and
Mary backs to a surprising 20-12
victory over Pennsylvania today
while some 12,801 rattled around
cavernous Franklin Field in frosty
discomfort.
Rocking favored Penn with his
brilliant T-quarterbacking and
coffin corner punting, the 185-
pound senior from Arlington, Va,,
uncevered a fine set of backs in
Ed Mioduszewski, Ed Weber,
Frank Lipski and Charlie Sumner.
Lewis slashed the Penn line in
a 13-yard scoring dash in the first
period, Lipski crashed home from
the 2 in the seeond and Sophomore
Sumner streaked 89 yards along
the sidelines on a kickoff return
for a solid 20-6 half-time lead.
Bottled up on the ground, Penn
took to the air to score both its
touchdowns on a 34-yard-pass
from Alex Jaffurs to Jack Moses
in the second period and a 23-
yard toss from Jaffurs to Tom
Hanlon early in the final quarter.

Conrad Manisera, fleet Georgia
halfback from Lyndhurst, New
Jersey, staged a one-man scoring
exhibition for the Bulldogs as he
accounted for both Georgia touch
downs, one on a 72-yard punt re
turn. Zeke Bratkowski’s aerial
show netted the Bulldogs 158 yards
but the Brat to Babcock com
bination was throughly covered
and the duo succeeded in only two
passing plays for a 24 yard gain.
However Bratkowski was more ef
fective on aerials to Georgia’s left
end, Gene Whit, completing five
passes to the sophomore flanker
for 76 yards.
Ve Big Gun et
Alabama quarterback, Clell
Hobson, was the big gun for the
Tide throwing two touchdown
screen passes and accounting for
much yardage by his well-received
aerials, :
Georgia’s seniors played a de
termined brand of football in their
last performance in Sanford Sta
dium. Overall, the Bulldogs pro
ved that with several injured
players back in the lineup, Wally
Buuts’ Georgia squad will not be
too easy to cope with in their last
three outings.
Alabama won the toss and elect
ed to kickoff. Raber returned the
kick to the Georgia 40 and after
two unsuccessful running plays,
Bratkowski heaved a long aerial
tléat was barely cut of the reach
of end Art De Carlo. Bratkowski
then punted out of bounds at the
Alabama 46. 5
The Tide quickly drove deep
into Georgia territory twice and
Red Lutz, Alabama end, attempted
a 22 yard field goal that was wide
of the mark. L
Taking over at their own 20
yard strip, Georgia on ten plays
drove to the Alabama 20 only to
lose the ball on downs at that
point. Four plays later, Alabama’s
conference-leading punter, Bobby
Wilson, went into kick formation
and Bulldog linemen, Dick Yelv
ington and Dexter Poss broke
through to block the punt which
Georgia captain, ‘Claude Hipps,
recovered on the ‘Bama seven
yard line. Four runing plays
brought the ball to the Tide two
vard marker where Alabama took
over and promptly punted out
to the ‘Bama forty.
Pass Intercepted :
On the next play from scrim
mage, Bratkowski’s long pass was
intercepted by Bobby Wilson on
the Tide six and failing to gain,
Wilson punted.
The Bulldogs could not gain on
four attempts and on the quarter’s

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
last play Bratkowski punted to
the ‘Bama six. ik
Soon after the second frame,
Georgia drove to the Alabama
three-yard line on passes from
Bratkowski to White, Babcock and
Morocco. But the drive ended at
that point when a Bulldog fumble
was recovered by Alabama. A pass
from Hobson to Ken MacAfee
picked up a first down for ‘Bama
at the 22, but when Wilson was
forced to punt out. Zg:py Marocco,
Bulldog safety wizard, scooped up
the kick and squirmed his way to
the Tide five-yard line on a bril
liant 65 yard carry. Captain Claude
Hipps laid a key block on the play
that possibly enabled Morocco to
go the lony, way. The Bulldogs
failed to score again from within
the ten and the ball see-sawed
back and forth until the last half
minute of the half. With only
twenty-seven seconds remaining
Wilson’s punt was taken by Con
rad Manisera and returned 72
yards down the left sideline for the
initial tally of the game Sam
Mrvos conversion attempt was
good and the Bulldogs went out
at the half on the top end of a
7 to 0 score.
Second Half
On the second series of plays
after the second half began a
Georgia pass was intercepted on
the ‘Bama 26 and after twelve
plays the Tide had scored on a
14 yard pass from Hubson to
George McCain. Lutz’ placement
was wide and Georgia still led, 7
to 6.
Soon after the kickoff, Georgia
was forced to punt and Alc»ama
drove to the Buldog seven as the
quarter ended. Before Georgia
could begin a fourth quarter of
fensive threat, ‘Bama had gone
iheéad, 9 to 7, on a field goal by
utz.
The ball changed hands only
one time before Alabama had
again scored —- this time on an
18 yard heave fromr Hobson to Mc-
Cain. Lutz’ point after was good
and the Tide had a substantial
lead of 16 to 7. o o e
Georgia scored again late in the
quarter on a drive that featured
Bratkowski’s passes. Manisera ran
around end for the final yardage
and Georgia was back into the
game after Mrvos’ conversion, 14
to 16. The game ended with Ala
bama in possession of the ball on
the mid-field strip.
The Bulldog’s chief ground
gainer was Joe Scichilone, who
carried nine time for fifty yards
and was an able replacement for
injured fullback, Fred Bilyeu.

Duke Halis Engineer Victory
Streak With 14-14 Deadlock
BY STERLING SLAPPEY
ATLANTA, Nov. 3.— (AP) —Unbeaten Georgia Tech
relaxed for a moment when victory looked won in the final
q:alr:er today and Duke used the lapse to score a startling
14-14 tie.
Tech was the nation’s fifth
ranked team in the Associated
Press poll.
* The game, rough but clean, end=
ed with about 400 fans and play=
ers on the field. The tension
packed stands partially emptied
when a Tech back was tackled
roughly by a Duke man on the
final play of the game. It was a
legal play.
A quick witted public address
announcer called for the National
Anthem and when the Star-Span
gled Banner was completed the
crowd had calmed, and left the
stadium in an crderly fashion,
15 Point Favorite
Tech was a 15-point favorite to
win its seventh consecutive game.
A 125-man delegation from Mi=
ami’s Orange Bowl was in the
stands but what effect the tie
score might have on Tech’s selec«
tion of a New Year’s Day Orange
Bowl team was unknown.
A Tech homecoming crowd of
36,000 had leaned back in the
fourth quarter when Tech looked
safely home for its seventh vie
tory. The score was 14-7 and
Tech had been going great.
But then quarterback Darrell
Crawford elected to pass and he
will never finish regretting il. As
it had been doing all day, Duke’s
rush line poured through on littie
Crawford and he had to throw as
best he could. -
Dud Hager of Duke caught the
pass instead of a Techster. He
took the ball on his 15 and ran to
Tech’s 35. Worth Lutz passed to
Blaine Earon, Jack Kistler punched
at Tech’s line and on the sixth
play after the interception, Lutz
scored from the two.
Ray Green got his second con
version and that tied the score 14~
all.
Wake Forest Upset
By Passing Clemson
CLEMSON, 8. C., Nov. 3.— (AP)—Tailback Billy Hair’s
slingshot passing and fancy running sparked Clemson to a
21-6 upset Southern Conference win over Wake Forest
here today. Hair.ran 42 yards for one score and passed 16
vards to End Glenn Smith for another.
W e T Nt WU M o L T
Clemson appeared to be a far
different team than the one which
é%st to South Caronlina last week
~0.
It was not until late in the final
period, with the game on ice for
Clemson, that Wake Forest was
able to score on a 40-yard ad
vance.
Left Halfback Bruce Hillen
brand, a sophomore from Arling
ton, Va., plunged the last yard.
Clemson got its first touchdown
three minutes before the end of
the opening period, &fter a pass
interference ruling against Wake
Forest's Terry Gwinn. Clemson
had the ball at the 25 when Hair
threw a pass intended for Smith,
who was covered by Gwinn in
the end zone. The officials ruled
that Gwinn pushed Smith as he
reached for the ball and they gave
it to Clemson at the one, from
where Fullback Lawrence Gres
sette smacked over. Charlie Rad
cliffe made good the first of three
conversions.
After a scoreless second period,
Clemson marched again after six
minutes of the third from its 43~
yard line, Hair rifled his scoring
pass to Smith in the end zone,
Last Minute
Aerial Wins
For Colonials
COLUMBIA, S. C, Nov. 3 —
(AP)— Quarterback Bob Cilento’s
pass to left halfback Jack Baum
gartner in the end zone a second
'after the game had ended gave
| George Washington an upset 20-
'l4 Southern Conference football‘
victory over South Carolina here
itoday.
| Cilento’s short four-yard pass
| climaxed a fourth-period George
Washington drive that broughtl
the Colonials from behind into a
tie and then to victory. i
Cilento and halfback Andy |
Davis collaborated on passes to
fullback Bino Barreira late in the
final period for a 97-yard scoring
march that tied up the game with
three minutes left.
Then Davis intersecpted a pass
on his 42, passed three times to
Barriera to set up Cilento’s story- |
book touchdown flip to Baum
gartner.
South ~ Carolina’s Gamecocks
trailed after a wild second period
‘then came from behind an 8-7
‘deficit early in the final period.
A 20-yard scoring pass from quar
terback Dick Balka to end Walt
Shea put South Carolina ahead
14-8 after fullback Chuck Prezioso
made his second conversion.
South Carolina took a brief lead
on the first play of the second per- |
iod when fullback Bob Drawdy |
brust through center for 6. yards |
and a touchdown.
South Carolina’s joy was short
lived. An exchange of fumbles be
tween the teams put South Carolina
on the defensive and three times
the visiting Colonials drove 37
yards to the Gamecock’s goal.
George Washington made a touch
down on one of the drives and a
safety on another,
About the half Tech ran 11
times in a 58 yard march to a
score, The second touchdown
came when two big Tech lines
men—-Ray Beck and Lamar Wheat
-shattered Duke’s line, Wheat
deflected a Duke punt, Beck
caught it and ran 52 yards to a
touchdown. s L
Duke and Tech have passed al
most as much as they have run
this season but both stayed on the
ground a great majority of the
time today. Pass interceptions
however, set up both of Duke's
touchdowns.
Crawford Miscues
Tech’s reliable quarterback,
Darrell Crawford, usually a good
pitcher, miscued with two min
utes to go in the first half and
heaved straight into the anxious
arms of Duke halfback, George
Grune. Grune got the ball on
Tech's 40 and ran to the 11.
“ Freshman quarterback Jerry
Barger, with all the poise you
would expect in a senior, called
for a pass play. Lutz, another
frosh, fired to end Blaine Earon
on Tech’s two. Earon went across
the goal in a flying leap. Green
converted. .
The first quarter was all of
fensive and each team got going
enly to be stopped by 15-yard
penalties. Tech’s drive stalled at
mid-field after a good push when
Yellow Jacket hands were used
illegally. Duke'’s was stopped on
Tech’s 31 when an illegal receiver
went out for a barger pass.

increased his scoring this season
with three touchdowns to con
tinue to lead the Athenians in
scoring. Bill Saye, alternate cap
tain aiso scored for Athens — his
second six pointer of the season—
and the other two Trojan tallies
were accomplished by Calvin Win
frey, Athens fullback, and Price.
Slayton Spivey booted the lone
Trojan conversion to ecomplete
the Athenians 37 points,
The Trojans exibited consistent
play under the conditions that
were present to result in their
final trouncing of the host eleven,
All last week in preparation for
the Gainesville game here last
week-end, they drilled in the rain,
and the rain soaked days at the
beginning of this week provided
more of the same kind of condi
tions for practice this week.
But it all paid oif for the Tro
jans as they demonstrated their
prowess under the freezing rain
which undoubtedly hindered the!
homestanding Rams to a great ex
tent. E
Hogan Out
The Rams saw action without
the service of their star back
Charlie Hogan. who was injured
in practice last week and did not
see action - against the Trojans.
Their lone touchdown came on a
90 yard kick-off return by Child
ers, the longest run ever to be
made on the Covington fieid,

The .entire Trojan team was
lauded by Athens coaches for their
performances against the Rams
with all of the first string linemen
coming in for praise and more of
the same for backs Williams, Price,
Winfrey, Jimmy Maxwell and
Doug Hudson. The game marked
the return of Maxweil to the Tro
jan backfield following little ac
tion against Gainesville last week
and also the initial start of Doug
Hudson at the quarterbaclk slot.
The Trojans’ passing attack with
Hudson at the helm proved to lit
tle avail however, due to the wet
ball and Price was called on for
his performance with the ground
route which again clicked for the
Trojans.
The Trojans have two remain
ing games this season, with S. W.
DeKalb in Sanford Stadium next
Friday might in their last home
appearance this season, and with
Andrew Jackson High of Jack
sonville in their season’s final the
foliowing week-end.
To date they have five wins, one
tie and two losses to still leave
them in the running among the
:pp teams in Region 4-A competi
ion.

Bowling Loop
Although the Wednesday night
bowling league members get a big
kick out . of their good-natured
badinage and the good times that
go with bowling, all of the mem~
bers take their games seriously as
can be. seen from sonre of the
scores that have been turned in.
There are two leagues which
are spensored by the YWCA. Qne
of the leagues meets on Morday
and the other on Wednesday eve
ning. The mixed league, for men
and women, is very popular with
the members, as is the women’s
league. ?

Members of ‘the league term
bowling “one of the best forms of
exercise that can be had.” The en

bowling league proves that there
is nothing like a really good game
to bring people together to bave a
