TEN Lions Win 24-14 As Green Bays Gambles Backfire 'DETROIT (AP) A pair of fourth clown gambles backfired on the Green Bay Packers Thursday and the Detroit "Lions beat them 24-14 in their traditional Thanksgiving Day contest. A cro-wd Of 50.971 sat in 25-degree' cold and a national television aedienee looked on as tfie tailend teams battled it out for notfcing but prestige in the National Football League. Quarterback Tobin Rote directed the Lions to an 87-yard scoring drive in the third period, then plunged across for the score that enabled Detroit to take the lead after Green Bay had led twice. But the Lions got two huge assists when the Packers' Max McGee, back to kick on fourth down deep in his own territory, elected to run. Both times McGee failed and the Lions moved on to score.

The score was tied 7-7 in the first period arid the Packers faced fourth down at their own 19. Mc- got a low pass from center and ran but was dropped one yard of the necessary yardage. Detroit's Jim Martin then -booted a 32-yard field goal that stood up for a 10-7 halftime lead. Green Bay, with only one victory in 10 NFL games, marched 74 yards in eight plays and seized a 14-10 lead early in the third period. Rote passed for 78 yards and got the Lions back in front 17-14 Eater in the period.

In the final period. Green Bay had a fourth down situation at its own 24. McGee tried to run--then in, desperation lobbed a feeble pass that fell to the frozen turf. The Lions scored again in the fourth quarter. Gene Gedman going over from the four.

Halfback Alex Hawkins passed for three touchdowns Thursday in a 34-7 football victory over Wake Forest that clinched second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and kept alive South Carolina's hopes for a Gator Bovvi bid. All three of Hawkins' passes went to his halfback buddy, King Dixon, Fullback John Saunders, who scored one touchdown on a two yard plunge, took over the conference rushing lead by gaining 128 yards. His season total now stands at 653.

Wake Forest, frustrated on two marches deep into South Carolina territory, a touohdown on a beautifully-executed 72-yard pass from quarterback a Snead to halfback Jerry Ball in the second period. The touchdown gave the Deacons a short-lived 7-6 lead. The Gamecocks moved 68, 97. 42 and 50 yards for their touchdowns. The Gacnecocks ground out the yardage in short bursts on their opening 68-yard scoring march.

A poor Wake Forest punt gave the Gamecocks the ball in the fourth period at the Deacon 42. Hawkins connected with Dixon at the Wake 15 and Dixon scooted over untouched. Quarterback Bobby Bunoh's 21- yard gain en a keeper was the backbone of the final drive climaxed by Hawkins' 8-yard throw to Dixon for the touchdown.

Virginia Tech Tops Arch-Rival VMI By 21-16 ROANOKE, Va. (AP)--Virginia Tech blended the expert passing of Billy Holsclaw with the explosive running of sophomore Pat Henry for two last-period touchdowns that whipped Virginia Miltary 21 16 Thursday. Holsclaw, a hip-jiggling offensive menace who didn't gain his starting spurs until his senior year, established Southern Conference records for total offense and for passing in the traditional Thanksgiving Day classic'before a turnaway crowd of 27,500. The 5-11, 170-pound quarterback completed eight of 14 passes against the Keydets for 104 yards, bringing his passing total for the season to 1,013 yards. He added 28 yards afoot to boost his total offense to 1,227 yards.

more important, Holsclaw scared what turned out to be the deciding touchdown for his team on a five-yard romp around left end midway the final quarter. The run came at the end of a sustained march of 76 yards which was kept moving by Henry's inspired running and climaxed by a 28-yard pass from Holsclaw to end Carroll Dale to 'the VMI 7. Holsclaw's touchdown, Tech's second of the frantic last quarter, hiked Tech's advantage to 2110 and offset VMI's late comeback effort. The Keydets stormed 82 yards on third-string quarterback Howard Dyer's passes in the waning moments but the touchdown, on a four-yard smack by Dyer, wasn't enough to. salvage their cause.

It was the second consecutive loss for VMI, which hadn't lost in its last 19 games Key- dets were upset two weeks ago by The Citadel. For Tech, victory meant a 5-4-1 record.

West Virginia University's rushing yardage for the 1958 football season exceeded the total for its nine opponents, thanks to the Mountaineers' 233-yard performance in their final game, a 15-12 loss to Syracuse. West Virginia wound up the season with a rushing total of 1,877 yards and an average of 3,7 per carry, compared with 1,563 yards and an average of 3.3 for the combined opposition. Halfback Ray Peterson led the squad in rushing with 333 yards, lowest leading total since I960, His average was 4,1.

Halfback Mel Reight was second with a total of 285 yards, followed by quarterback Dick Longfellow 254 and alternate Danny Williams with 213. Longfellow completed passes for 948 yards to make his total offense figure 1,202. That is a WVU record. It will stand as a Southern Conference record as well unless it is surpassed by Billy' Holsclaw of Virginia Tech. Holsclaw had 1,095 going into the final game with VM'I Longfellow's 79 pass completions likely will stand as a Southern Conference record but the figure is 10 shy of the WVU record set by Jimmy Walthall before the Mountaineers entered the SC.

Reight's 31 pass catches also will be the SC record unless he is topped by Ray Siminski of Furman in the Clemson game Saturday. Siminski has 29. Reight's performance was short of the WVU record of 35 Batches set by Paul Bischoff. Height also could wnd up as the leading SC scorer for the season. He made eight touchdowns and caught passes for 10 points after touchdowns for a total of 58.

West Virginia led its opposition 1,442 to 1,305 in passing yardage. The Mountaineers completed exactly half their passes, 107 out of 214. WVU Statistics Record (4-5-1) W. Va. Opp.

Instead of an -A and tournament at the end of the season, the competition has been equalized.

There are now three classes-AAA, AA and A--and all will provide four teams through sectional, regional and area games for the state championships slated this year in the Huntington field house: The State Board of Appeals has released the new alignment of schools. There are even changes in section lineups among the smallest institutions. The largest Class AAA schools have been split into eight groups and each group is. expected to provide two winners to go into regional play, March 13-14. Beckley's Flying Eagles are in Group 6 with DuPont of Belle, East Bank, Madison, Montgomery, Oak Hill and Sherman High of Seth.

These schools are expected to play three in one bracket and four in another, to provide the two winners. On the sheet sent out by Secretary Bill Fugitt, he says that Springer sections should hold their meetings early to decide on for tournaments on March 5-7. The Montgomery High principal has been given title of temporary chairman to call this meeting. The seven schools can be either drawn for the two tournaments, or, the principals and coaches could decide the alignment by travel, putting DePont, East Bank and Montgomery in the three-team group with Beckley, Oak Hill, Madison and Seth in the other. Group Four in the Triple A includes Richwood and ville with Buckhannon, Clay and Elkins while Group Five has just four schools Bluefield, Gary, Princeton and Welch.

Logan and Man afe in the grouping with the two Hnntington schools and JBarboursville. Other groupings for Class AAA in -the state: ONE: MoundsvHle, Triadelphia, Weirton, Wheeling. TWO: A Parkersburg, Victory, Washington Irving. THREE: West Fairmont, East Fairmont, Martinsburg, Morgantown. SEVEN: Charleston, Dunbar, Nitro, St.

Albans, South Charleston Stonewall Jackson. Class A A Alignment In the newly-created Class AA many schools are going to go to their first state tournament because in the past they've been blocked by one of the bigger schools. Area schools- like Gauley Bridge, Mount Hope, Shady Spring and Stoco won't have to worry any more about the power of the Beckley Flying Eagles. They'll just have to worry about each other now. "It came a couple years too late," said Johnny Rogers who saw Kenny Ward graduate last spring.

Shady Spring bowed to Beckley after a real hard fight, but would have won a Double A class rather handily last year. Schools from this area will be involved in four of the 16 sectionals planned for AA. In Section 9, Hinton, Park Central of Bluefield, Peterstown and Matoaka will be playing it off. Peterstown and Park Central are up from last year's Class ranks. BaileysvilJe, a power last winter, has also moved up in class and goes in with "its Wyoming County rivals Oceana, Mullens and PineviUe in Section 11.

Section 12 will" have Shady Spring, Beckley Stratton, Stoco, Sophia and Marsh Fork while Section 13 will include Lookout, Gauley Bridge, Fayetteville and Mount Hope. These lat four schools are in a region that goes to the northwest, but the other AA sections in this area, nine, 11 and 12, will converge into one regional and be joined, by Section 10, which has Northfork, Gary District, laeger and Kimball. Webster Springs and Cowen are in Section 8, playing with Sutton and Gassaway. The two Webster county schools used to be in the A sectional with Richwood and Summersville. Shifts Among Class A In Class A (formerly B) where the total schools numbers 136 to 129 last year, considerable changes have been made in sectionals.

Additional members in the Activities Commission, mainly among Negro high schools in this end of the state, caused some sections to grow larger and shifts to be made here and there. New lineups are noted around the Greenbrier Valley conference and in Fayette county. Rcnick, Frankford, Smodt and Williamsburg were In Sec. 18 last year, but Lewisburg, Ronceverte White Sulphur and Boiling have been added while Smoot and WllHamsburg were shifted to old Section 20. Section 20 now becomes Section 19 with Ralnelle, Crichton, Rupert and Alderson competing with Smoot and Willlamsburg.

Meadow Bridge, formerly in 20, is now in Section 26 with Ansted, Kingston and Pax. There is one section which may be smaller than the Board of Appeals lists them. It has Talcott, Sandstone, Forest Hill and Lincoln in Section 20, but as far as I can learn only Talcott and Sandstone will have basketball teams this winter. Neither Lincoln nor Forest Hill have sent in their schedules, nor do their names appear on any of the rival school schedules in those sections. Other- Class A sections in this area are found, below: Section 21: Union, Waitcville, Gap Mills.

Greenville. Ed Note: WalteviJle has never competed in basketball. Seotion 22: Spanishburg, Athens, McComas, Oakvale. Section 23: Montcalm, Excel- Mor, Bramwcll, Bluestone, Elkhorn. Section 24: Herndon, Conley, Glen Rogers.

Section 25: Trap Hill, Byrd- PrHlefman, Mark Twain, Clear Fork. Section 26: Anstcd, Kingston, Meadow Bridge, Pax. Two Logan county i schools, Araeoma and Accovillc are with Sharpies High in Section 30. Lewis On Eastern WYOMING MULLENS PHONE 999 FRIDAY SATURDAY Reading Dick Hudson's column I see where Art Lewis brought up the idea of the Eastern Football conference in a talk to the Curbstone Coaches club. Art mentioned West Virginia.

Pitt, Penn State. Syracuse and Holy Cross specifically and added "some other Eastern independents." Hudson, adding a comment himself said. "A six-team conference would be a good one for football, providing five conference games with five dates for outside opponents. Even if Pitt isn't interested, I'd like to see the others a league with Boston College as another possibility." For three years the Post-Herald has carried the standings of of a proposed Eastern Conference, but much larger than a six-school setup. If Boston University were added to the list of five schools above, Pitt would have to add the Terriers for it already plays the other four.

Syracuse and Penn State play all five and West Virginia would have to add Holy Cross. A standing for just these six schools on this year's work would have given the title to Syracuse. A Pet.

Ray Peterson, Dave Rider and John Marra around for halfback duty and Glen Shamblin and Bob Benke, along with Bob Lively, available at fullback. Ramirez Snaked For Three TDs In Texas Win AUSTIN Tex. CAP) Slippery halfback Rene Ramirez snaked for three scores as Texas parlayed a bristling defense and a methodical ground attack for a 27-0 victory over Texas AM Thursday. The "Galloping Gaucho" slipped in frccn the 2 and the 5 and caught a 12-yard pass, from quarterback Bobby Lackey' for another. Texas' defense and a slippery ball here this raw, wet Thanksgiving Day was more than the Ag- gies' classy passer Charlie Milstead could take.

Aggie drives bogged five times inside the Texas 20. A pass interception by Ramirez in end zone kUled one Aggie surge. The triumph gave Texas a 3-3 record in the Southwest Conference and a 7-3 season mark. It was the sixth loss-of the. year for Texas' arch foe from College Station.

Jeorge Blanch, Texas halfback, recovered a fumble and intercepted a Milstead pass to put in motion the first two scoring drives. The first defensive gem by Blanch was on the" 28. Fullback Clair Branch and Ramirez alternated on the drive, with Ramirez going in from the 2. Alternate fullback Mike Dowdle got 38 of the 65 yards in the next drive following Blanch's interception. The Texas alternates, directed by left-handed passer Larry Cooper, drove for the third touchdown with Ramirez capping it with a 5-yard end sprint.

A short punt set up Texas' final score from the Aggie 33 with Lackey passing twice for 19 yards during the drive. His toss to Ramirez was good for 12 yards and the score. AM 0 0 0 0-- Texas 7 14 6 0-27-: WSCCanNot Play In Bow) Tilt SPOKANE (AP) Washington, State College was refused permis-' sion by the Pacific Coast ence Wednesday to negotiate for a post season football bowl game on the votes of UCLA and Southern California. WSC Athletic Director Stall Bates said UCLA and USC invoked an obscure veto clause in the PCC athletic code to kill the WSC petition. A i PCC Commissioner Bernard Hammerbeck told us our request to waive i.he conference rule to prohibit members from- participating in a post a game other than the Rose Bowl had been stopped short of a vote by a formal objection of UOLA and USC," Bates said.

Bates said this apparently meant the question of WSC negotiating for a Sugar or 'Gator bowl hid could only cccne uo at a re-; ular conference meeting. Bates said both he and Dr. C. Clement French, WSC president, were shocked by the veto action. The conference is due to meet Dec.

7 and Bates said there are no provisions to call for a special meeting. The vote in the nine-school conference apparently was 7-2. Bates, obviously disappointed and perhaps even angry at the outcome, told a news conference: "Of course we never before have asked permission to play in an outside contest. In this case wt felt that since the Conference is breaking up after the present season there would be no serious objections to such a proposal as it would not establish a precedent for the future."
