Defeaf Northeast allies ft 7 Southern, a 31 PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 15. 1943 Beale, Waldman Star In Archives Victory Punt Return Proves Decisive; Marv Richman Scores for Rams By KEN HAY Applying the pressure with two quick thrusts. Northeast High's football team, defending Public High Conicrrnce champion, took a major step for the 1943 title by pounding out a 12-7 conquest of the heavy Southern eleven at the 12th and Bigler sts.

field yesterday. Bob Beale's 40-yard return of a punt down the sidelines spelled doom for the Rams midway in the third period, following by only Phillips Beats Dorsey Lay 2500 See Ellis Triumph Easily In Return Match I The Yardstick Only Time Will Tell Statistics Show Hubka Brothers Practically Even By Art Morrow IT WAS last spring that Temple Coach Ray Morrison first heard about Tony Hubka. 5-foot-9-lnch 160-pound back from Perth Amboy, N. J. Tony's brother, Gene, regular halfback on last year's Owl eleven, came to Morrison and reported "I have a kid brother up home that's quite a player.

He's only a little squirt but he's a better football player than I am." Football fans will have an opportunity to decide this question for themselves next Friday when brother opposes brother at Temple Stadium. Gene, a Marine trainee, is now playing for Bucknell, while the 17-year-old Tony, of course, is carrying on at Temple. Bucknell, scheduled to meet YUlanova at Ehibe Park tomorrow night, clashes with Temple next week. And both Gene, 19, and his little squirt of a brother. Tony, rank among the nation's football leaders, according to statistics announced yesterday by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau through the Associated Press.

Temple's Tony for all his team's 51-0 defeat at West Point last Saturday rates seventh among forward passers with 20 completions in 52 attempts for 125 yards, boasting a percentage of .385 despite four interceptions -n three games. Bucknell's Gene is 13th in the list of punters, with 22 kicks averaging 36.45 yards in four contests. For the second straight week Georgia's Jim Cook, with 28 completions and three interceptions in 54 attempts for 322 yards in four games, leads in the passing department; his average is .519 just 19 points better than that of Princeton's dazzling theological student, Dave Marshall. Leader in Gene Hubka's punting department is Brown's Bob Babcock, who has a norm of 44.40 yards for 15 kicks in two games. Last week's punting leader, Dartmouth end John Mona-han, slipped from his sensational average of better than 48 yards to a norm of 44.43 and second-place because of his out-of -bound efforts last Saturday against Perm.

It might be mentioned, however, that notwithstanding Monahan's slip, his average still makes Darth-mouth the team leader in punting. As is to be expected, thrice winner Penn which ranks with once-victor Willow Grove Naval Air Station as the Philadelphia area's only unbeaten team leads Quaker City representatives in yardstick figures, The Red and Blue ranks seventh in total offense with an average of Bartram Beats West 13-2 Hansen, Tom Ramsey Tally for Clippers; Davis Blocks Kick John Bartram High, turning a fumble and a quick kick to advantage, captured its opening football game in the Public High Conference by defeating West Philadelphia High, 13-2, before 4000 visitors yesterday at 49th st. and Haverford ave. The Clippers put themselves in scoring position just after Tom Ramsey kicked off to Tony Tordenti. who returned the tiall 18 yards, but fumbled on West Philadelphia's 35, Otto Kalin recovering for John Bartram.

After a line play failed to gain for John Bartram, Ralph Hansen hurled a forward pass to Frank Mc-Cullough, who was tackled on the four-yard line. On the next play. Hansen swept around right end to score. Tom Ramsey's placement kick for the extra point was wide. After indecisive play marked the second and third periods.

West Philadelphia pounced on a fumble early in the fourth quarter and marched from John Bartram's 34-yard line to the six-yard mark where the ball was lost on downs with one yard to go for a touchdown. Jim Cross-more's forward passing to Jim Per-clles featured thi3 drive. A TOUCHDOWN FOR DARTMOUTH? There still was possibility of error. But starting today at the Trans-Lux as well as at the Fox, Mastbaum, News, Carmen, Wayne, ARROW POINTS TO BALL IS THIS MR. HARRY RAYNOR, raven-haired Inquirer staff photographer, was standing 10 feet in the end zone in the fourth period at Franklin Field last Saturday when Larry Bartnick A Camden Stanley and other first-run news reel theaters the Fox Movietone view of the game unfolds.

The scene depictd here is caught a pass from Don Kasprzak, thrown from the 14-yard line, and Dartmouth was awarded a touphdown. Mr. Raynor, poised for a touchdown play, turned away and walked toward the sidelines before he noticed Dartmouth lining up for the attempt at the extra point. "What's this?" he asked of a fellow photographer. He was told that Dartmouth, having scored a touchdown, was trying for the point that would mean a tie.

"A touchdown?" he echoed. "Why, Dartmouth didn't score." Such, too, was the general impression in the north stands at Franklin Field, but not until motion pictures of the play were developed did Mr. Raynor gain factual support. Then it was concluded that Bartnick never did carry the ball across the goal line and Section 2 of Football Rule 9 specifically states that a touchdown Is made only "by carrying the ball on, above or across the opponents' goal line." However, these were 16-millimeter films made by -the News Reel Laboratories, for the Penn and Dartmouth coaches. from the film, showing Bartnick lying on his back with the ball almost a yard from the goal line.

Afterwards, Bartnick rolled over, but Section 7 of Rule 7 states: "Player of Team A carrying a ball is downed or falls on his opponents' one-yard line and his momentum causes him to slide across the goal line. Ruling: Not a touchdown unless the forward point of the ball is on, above or across the goal line at the moment the runner struck the ground." On this play: "As far as I am concerned," says Penn Coach George Munger, "the referee's word is final." Munger can afford to be generous: Penn won, 7-6. But the picture is an interesting footnote to the game in view of that fact that movies in 1940 proved that Cornell scored a touchdown on fifth down and because of that, afterwards conceded that Dartmouth legally had won the game, 3-0. ART MORROW a few minutes a similar snrint with a pilfered pass by Norm Waldman. It was these two gallops that earned victory for the Archives after Southern had capitalized on a Northeast fumble to drive 12 yards for an early score.

RICHMAN SCORES Dom Pendino, quarterback, fcid Marv Richman, halfback, engineered the Southern touchdown with a six-yard pass after the Archive line had stopped the Rams on three running plays. Pendino tossed the aerial to Richman while the stage was set by Salvatore Mansi, who only a minute before had replaced the injured Captain Jack Sandusky at tackle. Mansi recovered a costly fumble by Waldman. Northeast's third-period winning punches were as sudden as they were devastating. Waldman ran 38 yards after intercepting Reds Colletti's pass, while Beale returned a punt by Richman behind excellent blocking after he had swivel-hipped out of tho clutches of four Southern tacklers.

NORTHEAST MISSES CHANCE Northeast had another chance to score late in the game when Bill Neamand returned 15 yards to the Southern 26 with a punt. Jones circled right end to the 11, but a 15-yard penalty shoved the Archives back to the 20. Jones made five and Frank Zsumski got back to the 4, but the Rams heid and took over.

The winners took the opening kickoff and marched to a score. Sid Klein plunged across from the four after a 20-yard pass play from Don Katz to Joe Williams.

Steward 88 By JOHN WEBSTER Checking his backsliding course, Ellis Phillips whipped Dorsey Lay in their eight-round return match last night before the largest crowd that ever jammed the Olympia. Beaten three weeks ago by the same opponent in the same ring, pixey-faced Phillips won so handily in the return match that any of the 2500 witnesses (net gate: $2369) might have been excused on thinking Ellis could do it again, Sunday, Monday or always. TAKES COMMAND EARLY Lay, 134, and a Johnny-Come-Lately in main eventers" ranks, won the first round, stepping, stabbing and slashing. Then, Phillips, 130, a seasoned ringman, took command in the all-Negro duel, and finding that Lay's stinging blows weren't dangerous, pounded him from bell to bell. Phillips won the second, third, fifth, sixth and eighth periods.

In spite of his recent defeat at Lay's hands, the diminutive Ellis was 7-5 choice at fight-time. From the third round, he was any price. In better than usual trim, Phillips was full of fight and tireless in his charging attack. It even seemed he might have trained for the bout. Outboxed, outpunched through a round and a half, Ellis began to bomb Lay with body shots midway in the second.

He evened the pe-aiod, won all the rest save the seventh which also was even. RIGHT HAND INJURED Usually a will o' the wisp, Lay was slowed by body-pounding, and instead of moving, and punching, often slipped inside to hold and be slugged by Phillips' piston fists. Dor-sey's head shots troubled Phillips early, but failed to check his later onslaughts. Lay appeared to hurt his right hand when he connected with Phil-hps' elbow in the third round. He used the right little in the late rounds, and wound up with a cut over his left eye.

Decisive defeat may have cost Lay his scheduled bout with Pedro Hernandaz on the Bob Montgomery-Petey Scalzo program at Convention Hall on Oct. 25. There was a report last night that Herman Taylor would replace him with the victorious Phillips. SIIEPPARD BY KAYO Jackie Sheppard, 138, South wark veteran, won another comeback test with alacrity when he knocked out Artie Wilson, 132, Wilmington Negro, at 2.24 of the second in Jimmy Toppi's semi-final. Bob Smith, 128 twice floored and kayoed Joe Stack, 128, at 2.58 of the first round; Leroy Patterson, 146 Vi sopped Don Ricardo, 146, after 33 seconds of the second, and Billy Bains, 133, and Hughey Civatto, 132, sizzled six periods to a draw decision.

Galnt- FB. SL fieri OOO i 7 7 Villanova Works On Pass Defense Villanova went through a hard workout" yesterday as a final preparation for 'its game tomorrow night with Bucknell at Shibe Park. The first squad was given a lengthy session at pass defense, for it is expected that John Sitarsky will have his Lewisburg Bisons all primed to take advantage of the Wildcats' evident weakness, for not being on the spot when the opposition tosses them. USE BUCKNELL FORMATIONS John Killelea and Jack Welch performed for the third team, which used Bucknell formations against the first stringers, while Chuck Cherundulo, Curt Sandig and Olivar gave individual attention to the defense in an Intensive session aimed at bolstering up the secondary's job of batting down enemy passes. Bucknell varies its passing game from -an unbalanced single wing formation with a running attack from the popular formation, and yesterday Killelea had the coaches tearing their hair with the way he ghosted his way through the varsity line.

Killelea, former Boston College back, has not been too impressive in previous workouts, but with his play against the starting club yesterday he gave indication that he is ready to get into action as relief for Joe Pezelski, the starting right half.

Oct. 14 (A. A spectacular spill that occurred during the stretch run of the third event gave the crowd a bad scare here this afternoon. Two horses and their riders went down during a mixup that was so sudden it was difficult to see just what happened. Charlie Wahler, of Philadelphia, was removed in the track ambulance and a report from track first-aid quarters said that he had a very slight concussion.

His left leg was hurt, but it was not believed there was a fracture. The other jockey was Bill (Old who is said to be in his sixties and still going strong with occasional mounts. Obert arose quickly and went right over to help Wahler, who is a comparative youngster of 21. Just after the field of 11 platers turned for home, Saboteur fell vith Obert and Miss Discovery with Wahler, the horses apparently getting off -stride in the general confusion. Wahler was sent to Physicians Hospital (Jackson Heights) by the Brookmeade Stable, his employer, for further examination and treatment.

Ironically enough, Wahler was subbing for Conn McCreary on Miss Discovery, Conn having canceled his engagements here today.

However, circumstances alter cases and tonight there may be some circumstances. TEAM IN SHAPE A victory for Temple already the Owls have sect 3d two this season will depend largely on how the inexperienced 17-year-olds that Ray Morrison has under h's wing react after the drubbing at the hands of Army.

Too, Ursinus, which has yet to score a triumph during the 1943 campaign, will have a mission. That being to present their coach, Pete Stevens, with a memorable gift a victory over his alma mater as an Army going-away present. Pete is scheduled to be inducted into the service tomorrow. Temple came out of the Army game in fairly good physical trim, except for a knee injury to Joe Thum, regular guard, and that trouble will probably keep him sidelined tonight. However, in the rugged practice drill of this week there were several casualties, including a separation of the shoulder by Bob Lange, star blocking back.

He will be out of commission for three weeks or more. STEVENS FORMER STAR Stevens will be sending his team into action on a field where he saw his greatest glory- Pete was captain and center of the 1934 Temple team that went through its regular season without a defeat, then was invited to play Tulane in the first annual Sugar Bowl game. Dave Smuk-ler, one of the great fullbacks of all time, was a member of that eleven and he and Stevens teamed up to present a formidable pair of line backers-up.

Bucky Harris To Pilot Buffalo BUFFALO. N. Oct. 14 (A. Stanley R.
