After Newport News took the kickoff and the teams exchanged punts, the locals found themselves on the 10. Lou Taylor kicked out on his own 36.

After three plays moved the ball to the 25, Bruce Price took the ball around end, danced along the sideline with a fine exhibition of broken field running, to score. Dereski bucked over for the extra point. The Blue Devils scored again In the second period. The drive netted Qthe same amount of distance as the first scoring effort, and ended as Stan Dereski piled through center from the one foot line to score the touchdown, and added the extra point the same way. The two teams fought it out on even ground in the third period, with the Typhoon shoving Hopewell deep into its own territory once.

Early in the fourth, the Gold and Blue opened a passing attack, but it quickly backfired when Nelms Cadets Smother Penn, 34-7 As Glenn Davis Puts On Great Show Washington, Nov. 16. VP) Bob ixmgacre wok the opening kickoii ancl scampered 93 yards for a touchdown today to start William and Mary to a 20-0 football victory over George Washington. The 190 -pound speedster from Johnstown, fumbled the ball as he got it, then grabbed it up and took off. He left his last potential tackier behind him at the 40-yard line, and raced the lait 60 yards alone.

If it hadn't been for Longacre's breath-taking gallop, the 11,626 customers would have had Jack Cloud, William and Mary fullback, for their hero. Cloud pounded across the other two touchdowns, in the third and fourth periods, and was a standout with his line-plugging. He carried the ball 32 times and picked up 152 yards. The third period touchdown was started from 39 yards out and the fourth-period score followed a 48-yard march. In each drive the Indians from Williamsburg needed 14 plays for their touchdown.

And what was George Washington doing all this time? Well the Colonials never could get their running attack started (their longest gain was a mere five yards), and their only real threat came after they recovered a William and Kiary fumble on the 17, Four plays later found George Wash ington still In the same spot. It was a costly victory for William and Mary. Knox Ramsey, its fine guard who Is a candidate for an America guard, suffered a broken left arm. He was injured in the second period, and was carried from the field on a stretcher. Aside from Longacre's long run, the crowd got its biggest thrill from a lateral.

The placement was wide. Newport News then took the kick-off as far as the 34, starting a drive that went all the way over the Blue Deveil goal. The running of Billy Gayle and the passing of Lou Taylor were responsible for a large part of the yardage. The longest gain was a 35 yard pass play from Taylor to Elmo Stephenson.

Then Gayle ran for nine and Bob Pana- yotis gained another seven before a five yard penalty was called. Taylor passed to Stephenson, who was stopped on the one yard stripe. Gayle gained half the needed distance; and Taylor plunged over on fourth down. Glesenkamp's kick was blocked. The remainder of the game devel oped into a passing duel, with both teams trying to score again, but neither being able to.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16 m-Galloping Glenn Davis and his Army playmates turned In one of their more sizzling shows today for the entertainment of a sell-out crowd of just under 78,000 customers and careened to a 34 to 7 victory over the ponderous Penn gridders.

They thus made it 27 straight starts without a defeat in their three-year run of wrecking collegiate football machines. It was an Army team triumph, as the Cadets came back hot from their scoreless deadlock against Notre Dame a week ago, to push the supposed mighty Quakers all over the place. But, actually, this one was strictly a Davis show. The California comet did prac tically everything as he scored two touchdowns himself, forward-passed for another and lateralled for a fourth and put on what comes close to being the top performance of a career that has been strictly star-studded all the way. Altogether, he was In there bang ing away for fifty minutes and car ried the ball nine times fo ra net gain of 59 yards, or an average of better than 6 times a carry.

This, with his passing two completions for 76 yards and his kicking thrown in for good measure, made it strictly Davis day in this out-sized concrete horseshoe today. BLAXCHARD BELTS And when it wasn't Davis taking the Penns apart, it was his running mate, Doc (The Monster) Blanch- ard belting away at the line, or Arnold Tucker, the unsung quarter back pitching passes until he in jured his leg and had to be relieved. The Black Knights of the Hudson rolled over the Quaker forwards so completely and so thoroughly that one wag remarked the Penn line reminded him of the Lincoln highway. Meantime, the Quakers showed a remarkable ability to get no where against the Army defenses. They tossed a scare into the Cadets for a few moments in the first period when they got an Army fumble on the Cadets 30, and huffed and puffed to the 12, where they tried to settle for a field goal, that did not click.

Against those bottom-of-the-bar rel Army reserves, Penn managed a touchdown when Rodney Adams broke through to block a Cadet punt on the West Point 24. The ball rolled over the end zone and End Frank Jenkins fell on it. By that time, the Cadets had al ready tallied five touchdowns, with three more Army scores called back, Perm's short-lived march In the first period apparently got the Cadets' dander up, because they came storming back for 80 yards and tnelr first score early In the second quarter, with Tucker tossing the last 14 yards to Davis. Before the half ended, Tucker again pitched to Davis for three yards and another marker, topping off a 67-yard push that included a 21- yard Tucker-to-Davls pass and 40-yarder from galloping Glenn to Biancnard. In the third period, the California CLEAN RECORD Jefferson City, Nov.

10 (JP) Maryville College maintained its unblemished record today by rolling over Carson-Newman 33 to 7 for its eighth straight win. The game was featured by a brilliant Maryville passing attack and a 92-yard kick-off touchdown sprint by Charlie Pepper to open the third quarter. The triumph gave Maryville a season's total of 170 points against their opponents' 21. Illini Downs Ohio State; Near Title Champaign, 111., Nov. 16 (IP) Two mud-caked 'forgotten" stars, Julie Rykovich, who streaked 98 yards for one touchdown, and elu slve Buddy Young who set up an other on a 34-yard run, gave Illinois a 16-7 win over Ohio State today and nearly clinched the Big Nine title lor tne mini.

With a possible Rose Bowl bid at stake the league-leading Illini proved too alert and fleet for the dogged Buckeyes before a rain drenched Dad'a day throng of 61,519 at Memorial stadium. The Illini struck for all their points after Ohio State took a 7-1 lead early in the game when husky Joe Whlsler smashed 17 yards to paydirt and Max Schnlttker place. kicked the point. The issue really was settled In the second period when George Spen cers kick was blocked by end Sam Zatkoff of Illinois for a safety and Illini Quarterback Perry Moss sneaked over from the, four-inch line a few seconds after Young side stepped six tacklers on a 34-yard pass gain. Rykovich clinched things late in the third period when he intercepted Spencer's shallow pass on the mi ni two and streaked 98 yards for a toucnaown.

Reserve halfback Roger Drew place-kicked both Illini points. Now the conference race enters Its final round next Saturday with Illinois (5-1) booked against North western and Michigan holding sec- place with four wins, a loss and a tie, facing Ohio State. Whether the conference winner will participate in the Rose Bowl this year will be decided when Bic Nine and Pacific Coast faculty officials meet next Tuesday. Army Is reported receptive to a bid to face the Pacific Coast winner. The Illini, out-strlDDed statistical ly, simply were too sharp for the Buckeyes, who led In first downs, 11 to rive, and In rushing yardage.

199 to 75. Quarterback Spencer, taking too much time to punt from his 15 early in the second period, was smothered by Zatkoff and the ball bounded back across the end zone for a safety. A few minutes later, with the mini on Ohio State's 34. Halfback Art Duffelmeier looped a wide pass to young, who grabbed the ball on the Buckeye 25 and waltzed down the sidelines to the four-inch line before Bob Brugge dragged him down. It was a spectacular run, reminiscent or Buddy's brilliant 1944 and 1945 form.

From the four-inch stripe, Moss pulled a quarterback sneak to score and Drew booted the point to give Illinois a 9-7 margin. The crucial third period found the Buckeyes smashing to Illinois one- foot line only to lose the ball on downs after Burly Wlsler tried four umes irom within the five-yard stripe. PLAYER HURT BY EXPLOSION One of the worst malicious acts ever seen at a sports event here occurred yesterday afternoon when a spectator threw a firecracker which exploded In the head of one of the Newport News players during the Newport News-Hopewell game. Reserve end Irvin Fenton's scalp was broken by the explosion, and he was given a tetanus shotto safeguard him against infection. Luckily the injury was not serious but it might easily have been.

It is imperative that measures be taken immediately to insure that nothing of this sort happens again. Bill Greer. Va Downed By Wolf pack; Fumbles Hurt Raleigh, N. Nov. lS-OP) An alert North Carolina State football team converted enemy miscues into scores today to chalk up a 27 to 7 victory over the University of Virginia before 18,000 homecoming day fans.

Coach Beattle Feathers' Wolfpack played heads-up football throughout the 60 minutes in taking the measure of a touted Cavalier eleven which last week upset Princeton. North Carolina State opened the second period with its first touch down, added its second In the third quarter and pushed across two in the final session. Virginia scored on a sustained drive in the fourth per iod. The Cavaliers fumbled five times on the dry field and twice North Carolina State converted them into touchdowns. Gwyn Fletcher plowed over right guard for two yards and a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter, ending a 31 yard drive.

Early in the third period George Grimes of Virginia, who bore tne brunt of the Cavaliers' offensive at tacks, received a punt on his own 16 and tried to hand it off to John Duda. Duda couldn't hold the ball and Harloe Sheets recovered for N. C. State on the 22. Charlie Richkus picked up 13 yards in two tries and Leslie Palmer smashed over for the score.

Pat Byler, who missed his first try for extra point, made this one, giving State a 13-0 lead. North Carolina State struck again early In the final quarter when thay took over on the Virginia 31 alter a roughing penalty. Richkus tossed a 14-yard pass to George Blomquist and the same com bination clicked on the next play for a touchdown. Byler again con verted. Virginia came back with Its best effort of the day.

Bob Dudley returned the kickoff to his own 26. Ray Brown fired a 40-yard pass to John Duda who carried It to the State 29. Brown again found the range with a 22-yard effort to Duda on the State five. On the next play Brown made It look as if he were going to pass again, then set sail to his right and scored standing up. Grimes added the seventh point.

Razorbacks Take SMU By 13 to 0 Fayetteville, Nov. 16 A pair of sensational touchdown tal lies by Clyde Scotl and Aubrey Fow ler gave the Arkansas Razorbacks a 13-0 victory over Southern Meth odist university today. This assured Arkansas of at least a tie for the Southwest conference championship and a probable Cotton Bowl bid. MIOX ml If hffTnf1 1 1 ntYOG SOUTH 20 George Washington 0 Wilberforce 26 Lincoln 19.

Leo Long, Duke's hard charging fullback, plunged one Inch for the first touchdown after a 34-yard march, and personally added two more six-pointers before the afternoon was over. The loss was the first In Southern conference play for South Carolina and Its second of the season.

Alabama defeated the Gamecocks earlier this year. Duke's victory kept the Blue Devils In the running for the Southern conference title. Fletcher Wall of Duke blocked a Gamecock punt and End Herman Smith of the Blue Devils recovered on the South Carolina 24 as the second period opened. In six plays Duke moved to the two and Long again plunged over. The next time the Blue Devils over half the gain when It drew a clipping penalty.

In spite of the one-sided score, the Colonials were in Indian territory four times in the first half. Two fumbles, an interception and a 20-yard punt return by John Shullen-barger did the trick. But once they got reasonably close to the goal posts they invariably bogged down. William and Mary 'also missed a chance for an easy score. Wash ington's Frank Cavallo fumbled the kickoff in the third period and Tommy Thompson, Brave center.

wi South Bend, Nov. 18. Notra Dame, which played three quarters as If had left Its heart In Yankee stadium In that scoreless battle wtth Army a week ago, finally found Its spark In 19-year-old Johnny Panelll today and cracked out three touchdowns In the final period for a 27-0 decision over North western. Gaining their sixth triumph in a campaign for the national collagiate championship, the Irish hurled a total of 45 players against the stubborn Wildcats to wear them down for the fourth-quarter scoring drives of 61, 50 and 38 yards in the sleet as a sell-out throng of 56,000 buttoned up its overcoats and roared approval. Panelll, a 190-pound sophomore from Morristown, N.

collaborated with Emii (Red) Sitko of Fort Wayne, and Bob Livingstone of Hammond, to provide most of the backlng-up power behind Johnny Lujack's alert quarterback-ing. That combination, which helped Notre Dame roll up 27 first downs to Northwestern's four, gained 523 yards by rushing. A granite Irish line limited Northwestern's ground attack one of the best In the Big Nino competition with an average 222 yards per game to a mere 52 yards. For tht first tlma this season, however, Notre Dame, with Lujack doing most of the hurling, completed only one pass. That toss was completed behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of five yards.

Northwestern connected on two aerials for a gain of 21 yards. Passing was kept to a minimum the last half after the quarterbacks assessed chances with a slick ball. The game was only minutes old when the Irish scored their first touchdown on a 63-yard push in eight plays, featuring the line slashing of Sitko who pick up 34 and 14 yards en route. Sitko capped it with i one-foot plunge and little "No. 1" Fred Earley of Parkersburg, W.

went in to play his lone role as placeklcker. The kick was good, and he hit twice later to run his record to 24 conversions In his last 28 tries. Frank Aschenbrenner's 45-yard western in a threatening position midway In the Initial period, but Pat Keefe's pass was Intercepted behind the goal line by Lujack to end the thrust which reached the 21. Northwestern, behind freshman Art Murakowskl's 22-yard scamper, drove to the 22 In the second period, only to have Terry Brennan swipe Keefe's aerial again to end a threat. Those were the only times Northwestern came within earshot of the Irish goal.

The Pennsyl- vanians apparently trapped him there so he lateralled over to Harold Trvzel, a 190-pound tackle from Cleveland, who went the rest of the way. Before the final quarter began, Blanchard belted over from two feet out to put the icing on a 75-yard Army march. And winding It up in the final session, Davis heaved a 37-yarder to Tom Hayes from Hastings, and the six-foot- one wingman took the ball on the goal line and went over.

Phelps, the Wildcat' freshman flash from Danville, took over where power and passing failed on the slippery gridiron and Injected some spectacular play Into an otherwise listless contest. The game was Just four minutes old when Phelps returned a Mountaineer punt 67 yards to the foe 12 and then streaked across the double stripes from the 11. A slippery littl substitute scat- back, 150-pound Elwood Petchel from Easton, scored both State touchdowns In the second period as the visitors ripped the tough Middle line to shreds. Then, as Penn State had dominated play in the first half, Navy came back to stop the Lions cold In the last two periods, scoring once and missing the potential winning touchdown midway In the fourth quarter when the State line halted a middle drive on Its own eight yard line. Jos Bartos climaxed a 66-yard drive by plunging over center for the sole Navy score midway In the third quarter and Bob Vansummern place kicked the extra point.

That was the scoring for the day, although the commander-in-chief told the Midshipmen at their noon luncneon: i ininic it WUJ Be a privilege for me to see the Navy beat Penn State this afternoon. I am counting on you to do it. Petchel and his mates, who hadn't won over Navy since 1924, didn't hear the speech. The Lions roared the first time they got the ball In the opening minutes, moving 81 yards In a dozen plays to Navy's one, where the Middies held for downs. With the second period barelv started.

Petchel came In to Intercept Beaves Bayslnger's pass on Navy's 25, and cut to his left, racing over the goal untouched. Spiders Tie VPI, 7 To 7 Richmond, Nov. 16 Virginia Tech's Gobblers and the University of Richmond Spiders took turns at trying to give each other the game la City Stadium today and finally wound up playing to a 7-7 deadlock In a Southern Conference football battle. Eleven thousand witnessed the struggle. The Spiders, whose running attack proved far superior to that of the Techmen, drove 40 yards in the closing minutes of the third quarter, halfback Tom Billingsley tearing A 11 yards through a hole in the left side of the Tech line for their lone touchdown.

Frank Thompson split the uprights, and Richmond led, 7-0. After one series of plays following the kickoff, Tech's center Tom Burns Jumped on Billingsley's fumble on the Richmond 26. Nine plays later, halfback Harry Walton crashed through for the touchdown. Ross Orr, the big Tech tackle whose specialty Is kicking extra points, made this one good, and the score was all tied up Just as it remained the rest of the way.
