Georgia Tech Points For Army Clash Saturday After Georgia Win; Vols Will Test Tarheels By The Associated Press Fresh from their 28-7 victory over Duke last week, Georgia Tech’s Yellow Jackets are preen- ing their“wings for flight against the. Army Cadets Saturday. Coach Bobby Dodd and his aides went into darkened projection Tooms yesterday to study moving pictures of the West Pointers in action, Comment by Dodd sounded as if he's counting heavily on backs Bill Brigman, Leon Hardeman, Bill Teas and Glenn Turner to carry the torch against Army. He singled them out and said, “At its best, our backfield is without a superior in the country.” The University of Georgia also faces a tough assignment with Pennsylvania on Philadelphia’s Franklin Field Saturday. Coach Wally Butts said he’s Planning to use more freshmen in ‘an attempt to spare his Bulldogs from further trampling by hard running attacks of the sort to which they were subjected at the hands of Maryland, Florida and ‘Alabama, Louisiana State University and “Tennessee lock horns in a battle of strong men at Baton Rouge. LSU_ has lost five and won twice this season, but Coach Gaynell Tinsley is telling the boys not to be downhearted. “No game is ever lost until it’s played,” he said at yesterday’s practice. “We are go- ing to begin tomorrow to be the winner.” Tennessee’s Coach Bob Neyland got the good news yesterday that the Vols came through the game with -North Carolina in tip-top physical shape and that guard Francis Holohan should be ready to play against LSU. Holohan missed the North Carolina game because of a knee injury. Mississippi State and Auburn re- sumed practice aimed at their clash Saturday in a homecoming game at Auburn.

Notre Dame To Use Straight Football Sat. By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO ® — Notre Dame is preparing psychological warfare for unbeaten Oklahoma. The two football powers clash Saturday at:South Bend, Ind., in a top nationally televised attraction. Reports from the camp of Coach Frank Leahy of the Irish indicate there will be. no trick offenses or plays up the maestro’s sleeve to spring on the unwary Sooners, who have five victories and one tie and No, 4 ranking nationally in The Associated Press poll this week. Lacking this black magic, Leahy has turned to mental dealings in preparation. His first such move in setting the stage was sending his backfield coach, Johnny Lu- jack, to the Chicago Quarterbacks’ luncheon yesterday. Lujack was a study in gloom. “We have no hope of defeating Oklahoma,” he said. ‘Our vic- tories over Texas (14-3) and Pur- due (26-14) were miracles. Miracles don’t happen every day. Notre Dame is.now entering the Dark Ages. In succession we meet Okla- homa, Michigan State, Iowa and Southern California.” Before this pall is allowed to settle, let“it be said quickly that the Irish have four triumphs so far--three in a row--and a loss of 22-19 to Pitt and a 7-7 tie with Penn State. S Although Oklahoma probably will be favored Saturday, the gloom is being spread a bit thick. Leahy is reported drilling hard jon long passes.by his teen-aged sophomore quarterbacks Ralph Guglielmi and Tom Cary. He fig- ures his overhead attack may be the. answer, against the Sooners although Coach Bud Wilkinson's Michigan State Tops Nation In AP Gridiron Poll NEW YORK (®#—Mighty Michi- gan State strengthened its grip on the top spot in the’ Associated Press football poll’ today, closely followed by Maryland, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma, but the shad- | ow of a four-time winner, hung over the rest of the top 10 teams. Notre Dame, squeezing back in- to the top 10 on the bottom rung of the ladder, has a date with fourth-place Oklahoma this week. One week later the Irish, who, ruled the roost in 1943, °46, 47 and 749, meet Michigan State and on Nov. 29 tangle with Southern Cali- | fornia, current No. 6 team.

So far, Notre Dame has gained only 707 yards in the air while grinding out 1,290 on the ground. Only two touchdown passes have been thrown, both by Guglielmi who has 44 connections in 90 tosses for 475 yards. Six of his pitches have been stolen. Carey was hit on 11 out of 26 for 172 yards and has yet to score with an aerial. One of Leahy’s most pressing problems has been trying to cure fumbles. His team has averaged more than five per game. The Irish have fumbled 32 times and lost the ball 17 times. But the opposition has been about as butter- fingered, committing 27 fumbles and losing the ball 18 times.

LOUIS (®—The Cardinals and Browns are at each other’s throats again—this time over Harry (The Cat) Brecheen—and the issue has gone to Commissioner Ford Frick | for settlement. Fred Saigh, owner of the St. Louis National League club, said last night he has protested the mat- ter on two counts—the local Ameri- can Leaguers ejther “tampered’”’ with Brecheen while he still was a Cardinal pitcher or did so after he had an oral agreement to become a Redbird coach, or both. Brecheen, 38, was signed by the Browns last week to pitch in 1953. Saigh said he didn’t “want Bre- cheen back on my club,” adding that he did want “our neighbor. to quit meddling in our affairs.” Brownie owner Bill: Veeck im- mediately denied the change say- ing: “We adhered to the ules and have nothing to worry about. He’s just trying to save face, I’m very happy to have him protest, because I’ve lost so many protests, and misery loves company.” Saigh contends the Browns could not legally talk to Brecheen until Oct. 28. Brecheen said at his home in Ava, Okla., that Marty Marion, the Browns’ manager, didn’t talk to him until Oct. 22 or later. Saigh said his club asked waivers on Brecheen Oct. 10, He said a seven-day period follows for other clubs to claim the pitcher. Another six-day period, Saigh said, follows during which Brecheen could re- ject any claims on his since he is a 10-year man. Then, Saigh added, comes another five-day ‘period be- | fore the club has to grant an un- | conditional release. Actually, Saigh added, Brecheén has never asked for or received a release from the Cardinals. To back up the second point of | |his protest to Frick, Saigh said Brecheen had agreed orally, the day waivers were asked on him, to | become a Cardinal coach. | Marion dismissed Saigh’s protest | and denied he had talked | | to Brecheen that soon. as “silly” Brecheen said “I don’t know | what he (Saigh) is trying to do. If it had been anybody except the Browns he wouldn't have cared.” The two St. Louis club owners have been feuding since Veeck took | over the Browns in July, 1951. Tennessee Man Wins Senior ‘Golfing Title Pi se gee ae — Judd Florida’s Casares Tops State Backs In AP Grid Poll JACKSONVILLE (# — Florida’s versatile Fullback Rick Casares and Defensive Tackle Charlie La- Pradd were tops for state colleges over the week-end in the opinion of state sports writers. Casares was chosen back of the week for his great running and kicking in Florida’s victory over Auburn. He scored two touch- downs, a field goal and four con- versions. Billy Odom, Stetson freshman who ran 45 yards for the touchdown that tied Florida State, was runnerup. LaPradd, Florida’s best Aill- America: prospect in 20 years, had little actual work but his presence was enough to shunt Auburn's full attack to the opposite side. Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan admitted this after the game and praised La- Pradd as a true All-America cali- ber player. Curt Campbell, Florida State end, and B. J. Leathers, Stetson guard, were behind LaPradd in the voting by members of the State Sports Writers Association.

Te’ bout will be broadcast on the Blue Ribbon Bouts program over the CBS radio network beginning at 10 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. Dick Wagner, 25, has been fight- ing professionally since 1945. This veteran has faced every prominent figure in the light heavyweight di- vision: Dan Nardico, Jake La Mot- ta, Bob Murphy, Dan Bucceroni and Nick Barone. Sabotin, of Warren, Ohio, moved into the national picture when he was matched with Danny Nardico at the Cleveland Arena last Aug- ust. Besides Nardico, his well- known opponents have been Charley Norkus, Sonny Horne and Dan Buc- ceroni.

The middleweight champ, they say, might easily become noted within a short time as one of the two or three top soft shoe artists in the world. He’s good, Ray is, and he has a new nose job which permits him to breathe better and the scar tissue has been scraped from around his eyes. From every indication, the Sugar new career.

Gainford, just returned from an expansive three months in Paris, believes he can talk his tiger into fighting again, providing a thor- ough examination convinces Rob- inson he can do so without haz arding his stage career. “I’m happy he took up this dan- cing,” George declared. “Best thing in the world for him, keep | him in shape between fights. All he used to do was lay around and get lazy. If our doctor tells us the operation around his eyes is per- manently healed, then I’m going to advise him to keep on fighting. He's always taken my advice, hasn’t he?” One of George’s listeners implied broadly that he wasn’t quite con- vinced of this. It has leng been suspected that Gainford only has talking privileges and that Robin- son, who is better than average bright, makes the high-level deci- sions. George looked pained. “Then I'll put it another way,” he said. ‘“‘How’s he going to make the money dancing that he can make fighting fellows like Kid Gav- ilan, Bobo Olson, Randy Turpin and a couple of others?” It was suggested that, at $10,000- plus per week, Sugar could more than keep his head above water. “Yeah,” George conceded, ‘but | how many shows a day does he | have to put on for that money— two.
