GETS READY TO MAKE HANDOFF. By DON PLATH John Williams, Akron wing-back, and Football Coach Joe McMullen were talking before the Denison-Akron game at Rubber Bowl Saturday afternoon. "Coach," said Williams, "I sure hope I can live up to that vvriteup they gave me In the Beacon Journal." You did, John. And, as Akron was defeating the Big Red from Granville, 19-7, here is how you did it. THE STORY said when you 1hrew the key block, Ben Kim-brough goes.

You blocked on two of Kimbrough's end sweeps and Big Ben rambled 29 yards on one and 19 on the other. The story praised you as a good tackier. You made the first tackle of the game when you rocked Jim Hubbard on the kickoff and you continued to make good stops throughout the game. The story said you possess a pair of quick hands. When Denison was attempting to pull a "pitchout" play you went for the deep man.

The ball loomed in front of your face and you quickly grabbed it and went 78 yards for a touchdown. The slory said you had a good attitude and were modest. After the game a lot of people congratulated you for a fine performance. On each hand-shake you bowed your head like a bashful boy at his first party and mumbled a humble "thanks." Yes, John, you lived up to the story. In fact you rewrote it so brilliantly that I "wish I had said that." WILLIAMS wasn't the only standout in the Akron lineup which won its third straight game and fourth of the season.

The setting was laid for a championship Mid American Conference struggle between Kent State and the rampaging Redskins from Oxford as the Golden Flashes roared past Marshall, 39-6, Saturday after-noon at Kent's Memorial Stadium. A record homecoming crowd of nearly 11,000 was thrilled by a battle filled with spectacular long runs from scrimmage and on pass patterns, but Kent Coach Trevor Rees tempered his satisfaction with caution.

"We looked very good," he admitted with a smile, "but next Saturday we'll have to he belter, much better. How badly did they (MiamU beat Ohio That should give you some Idea." THE REFERENCE was to Miami's smashing victory over Ohio U's Bobcats, 34-7. A week ago Kent was extended to beat Ohio 2014. "But the passes and the outside stuff was really working today," Rees continued. He was putting It mildly.

Out-first downed, 21 to 11, by Herb Royer's stubborn Big Green, Kent parlayed It, speed on pitchouts with, effective passing to score six touchdowns. Two of them came In the first. 3:50 of play to set Marshall hack on its heels. The West Virginians never completely recovered although they did succeed, with the help of penalties, in smothering Kent's attack In the second period. But the flood gates broke over Marshall's head In the second half Mike Norcla, the fleet Whitley brothers and Ken Redlln collaborated on a succession of climax runs.

MARSHALL went into Satur. day's game without the services of its star halfback and leading seorer, Len Hellyer of Logan, W. Va injured in the Miami debacle. They came out of the contest with two more halfbacks Cagle Curtis and Dyke Six, on the doubtful list. Curtis was helped off the field in the third period with a dislocated elbow while Six wa, knocked unconscious a few play, later and taken away by ambulance.

A later report said his injuries were minor. KENT never has lost to Marshall and made certain early of its fourth straight triumph over the Big Green. After End Jim DeOreo raced the opening kickoff back 38 yards to the Marshall 42, the Flashes ground out a first down in four plays and then Quarterback Brian Burke passed 23 yards to DeOreo running unescorted on the visitors' seven.
