Sards Protest 1-Game Lad; Edge Subs. 24 By ROBERT MOORE Williamsburg, Sept. 21. Like Tami Mauriello, the Fort Mc-Clellan, Riflemen never realized exactly what hit them today as William and Mary power-laden Indians rolled up and down Cary field for a 61-0 victory before an opening-day crowd estimated at 5,000. Head Coach R.

N. (Rube) McCray used nearly six teams and the Riflemen could never halt the Indian thrusts. Even in the final period, when McCray was using everybody left on the bench. Garland Isaacs of Richmond, fifth-string fullback, plowed through for eight yeards that brought the Indians their final score. Sportorials By Arthur S.

(IV) Slender Murry Dickson protected the St. Louis Cardinals' one-game National league lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers today with a five-hit performance against the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, scoring the winning run after he opened a ninth inning rally with a single.

After waging violent warfare with the Cubs Johnny Schmitz for eight innings, the lean native of Tracy, struck the blow that finally meant the ball game after two were out in the ninth. Lining a single past the veteran Billy Jurges at shortstop, Dickson pounded home with on their own 46 and needed only six plays to score.

CLOUD SCORES TWICE doubled off the ivy-covered wall i After that, End Marvin Graham jrabbed Tommy Korczowski's 25- -v STADIUM STATIC: The following article was released In the meeting Newport News city council Monday. July 22, 1946, and appeared voTf the sports page of the Daily Press Tuesday morning, July 23, 1946.

Carrying the headline "COUNCIL HAS DEFINITE PLANS FOR STADIUM" the article follows: "The Newport News city council went on record yesterday (July 22, 1946) as having definite plans for construction of a city stadium, announcement being made at the bi-weekly council session that to make details of the plans public at this time would 'perhaps hinder carrying out of the plans'." "Councilman I. Leake Wornom, who brought the matter up, said that within a period of 30 to 60 days, plans will have reaclfed a stage at which a definite announcement can be made. "Vice Mayor Harry Reyner pointed out that the stadium has a definite place on the'council's public improvement program. "The council also decided to notify the various clubs and fraternal flrpnnizntinnfi that. tb frrroin ic nrnrVino- rm T1anc fr a stadium in left cfntcr.

One reason Manager Eddie Dyer had given Dickson the starting chance in the opener of the vital three-game set at Wrigley field was YOUNG SCORES TWICE; ILLINOIS yard pass and danced around two would-be tacklers for another score; Fullback Jack Cloud cracked the line for two more; End Pat Haggerty took a blocked punt and stumbled over for six points and Halfback Bob TOPS PITT, 33-7 "In recent weeks several local organizations have gone on record ml By DUKE MORAN Pittsburgh, Sept. 21 There was an upset in the making In the balmy breezes at Pitt stadium today, until gears of the University of Illinois football power plant meshed in an awesome burst of power which crumpled a gallant. his ability to hit left handed pitching. He never made a better move as it all turned out. There was little reason to believe a game-winning rally was around the corner when the first two Red Birds were victimized by Schmitz' sharp breaking stuff.

DICKSON'S 14th Dickson's poke turned the tide and when it was followed by Schoen-dienst's blow, his first hit in his last eight at bat, it assured the Card hurler of his 14th win to five defeats and clinched the season series for the Birds over the Bruins, 12 to 5 with five to play. St. Louis had won the series from every club in the league and, if they missed the flag, it would be because the Dodgers could whip the Braves and Phillies more consistently. With only seven games to play for inexprieenced lot of Pitt Panthers into 33-7 defeat. 7i It was the season opener for both teams and Pitt's first start under its new coach, Wesley Fes i 1.

Today (Sept.

22, 1946) marks about 61 days since the above statement was issued City council meets in its regular weekly session tomorrow afternoon at 2 and we're hoping that the city fathers won't overlook this vital item for the welfare of the community. Vice Mayor Reyner's statement that the stadium "has a definite place on the council's public improvement program" doesn't sound very encouraging to this department Why? Because council placed the public improvement program on the inactive list several weeks ago after hours of deliberation and discussion which accomplished exactly NOTHING in the form of planned action on public improvements. Rumors concerning the construction of a municipal stadium in Newport News have been the main topic of conversation among the Peninsula's sporting circles A couple of weeks ago we heard that everything was ready except a final decision on the location of the stadium Last week we heard that the only holdup was a question of the seating capacity of the stadium The story is going around now that a question has arisen whether to build a municipal golf course or a municipal stadium. Brother, that takes the cake We like golf, but when someone attempts to put a higher priority on a golf course than a stadium we're tempted to suggest that a psychiatrist be invited in for consultation It's true we need a municipal golf course, but the stadium must come first and it had better come soon or the Peninsula will be minus a Piedmont league franchise in 1947 A stadium can provide recreation for thousands and a location for baseball, football, track, softball, and many other sports but the only thing you can do on a golf course is play golf Of course, there's one other sport which can be pursued on a golf course, but we'll let It slide The primary objective is to locate sufficient finances for the stadium. As for the location of the stadium (after the lettuce has been harvested) we suggest the Boat Harbor area As for size, we suggest a seating capacity of about 15,000 Take note of the advantages of the Boat Harbor site (1) Overlooking Hampton Roads with its accompanying cool breezes during the baseball season (2) Plenty of space for parking and future expansion (3) Centrally located fans coming from Norfolk would have no transportation problem after leaving the ferry and adequate transportation facilities are available in this area to serve the Peninsula fans There has been some talk about locating the stadium In the two-k area of 27th-39th Streets between Huntington and Virginia Avenues.

3 ri -i 4 a half game tomorrow because they are slated for a single game with the Cubs while Brooklyn plays two In Boston. Dyer announced he would send Howie Pollet, his ace, in search of his 21st victory against Hank Borowy, the Cub choice. Catcher Del Rice must have had visions of becoming a "second Mickey Owen" in the fourth inning when his double error on a dropped third strike to Bill Nicholson enabled the Cubs to tie the score. ST.

AttnTant two-hour, loading, and no parking zones, the sports fan would have to RH Radcliff Longacre FB Cline Mackiewicz Army Trounces Villanova, 35-0 For 19th Consecutive Victory About 35,000 fans roared In de lighted disbelief as the young Pan-tners clawed their way to a 7-7 first, half deadlock after Claude (Buddy) Young, the Mini Ebony express, spun off a 46-yard touchdown run before the echoes of the starting gun died from the cavernous bowl.

Pitt matched that touchdown before the period ended as Louia Cecconi, a freshman from Donora, Pa, high school piled through center from the one-yard line after an interception by Pitt and a completed panther forward pass set up the score. The Panthers actually outplayed the bigger, faster, wiser Mini for the remainder of the first half and only missed spurting Into the lead in the second quarter when End Walter Cummins of Greens-burg, an army dischargee, allowed a long pass from Cecconi to squirt through his fingers on the goal line. PANTHERS FADE That bristling first half effort spent the Panthers, however, and fired the Mini to a pace worthy of their high ranking on the nations list of top flight team. The third period was very youn? when substitute Back Art Dufel-mier slashed through the Pitt left side and galloped 38 yards for a toichdown. Illinois recovered a fumble on the Pitt 20 a few minutes later and after five plays Young sped around left end for another score.

A passing attack, climaxed by a 27-yard scoring heave, Tom Stewart to Paul Patterson, added another touchdown in the fourth period and Chick Maggioll made the final Mini score a personal triumph by racing 75 yards over the goal on a punt return Young, used solely for spot performance, exhibited the blinding speed for which he is famous but he was well throttled by the hardworking Pitts except for his opening touchdown dash and his short spurt for a score. The first down chart showed little advantage for Illinois with 10 to Pitt's nine but long Illinois touchdown gallops accounted for this apparent closeness. Pitt gained 205 yards from offensive plays, mostly in the first half, while Illinois rolled up 226 yards. Pitt threw 19 passes and completed six for 73 yards while Illinois completed two out of nine, for 33 yards.

A. was headed for the University of Virginia, but the Veterans Administration and Coach Art Guepe suggested that By HUGH FULLERTON JR. West Point, N. Sept. 21 A pouring rain and an optimistic Villanova football team couldn't stop Army today as the gridiroh champions of 1944 and 1945 proved with a 35 to 0 victory that they're still the team to beat in 1946.

It was Army's 19th consecutive victory. Everything was against a decisive army triumph today, including much stronger opposition than the Villanova Wildcats have been able to offer in the past two years. The result, except for the size of the score was the same. They slipped and skidded and fumbled on the wet field. They lost line crushing Doc Blanchard for the day before the first quarter was over and they lost a country mile of penalties.

In spite of these handicaps, which also afflicted their opponents to a large extent, the Cadets sprang Mr. Inside Blanchard and Mr. Outside Glenn Davis loose for a pair of touchdowns in the first ten minutes. They picked up another early in the third quarter when big Herschel Fuson crashed through the Villanova line and two more, one in the third quarter and one in the fourth, when Barney Poole caught passes from Arnold Tucker and Davis. The Villanova team, laden with former servicemen and hopeful of giving Army a close game, only got into a threatening position twice.

In the second quarter the Wildcats pass to Army's 20 only to have It nullified by a penalty on the play. "DOC" SLIGHTLY HURT The loss of Blanchard obviously hurt the Army attack, but it wasnt a permanent loss. Big Doc limped off the field late in the first quarter after he had been tackled hard on Villanova's ten yard line. Later Coach Earl Blaik sent word to the press box that Blanchard had not been hurt but that he had strained a ligament in practice and was being kept on the bench to prevent a possible injury. Davis, Army's other goal dust twin, also was used sparingly but effectively.

He was pulled out right after Blanchard left, played a few seconds at the end of the second quarter and all of the third then was benched again after passing to Poole for the final touchdown. Davis helped to set up the first touchdown with an 18 yard dash around end. Blanchard then burst through left guard for the last ten yards. Davis scored himself on a four yard run around end after Blanchard had started the drive with a 17 yard run. TUCKER STARS The California speedster also helped pave the way for Fuson's score with a 12-yard sprint and he passed some 2 yards to Poole for the final tally.

The fourth Army touchdown was all Tucker's doing as he threw two passes to Hank Foldberg for good gains and then flipped a short one from the 17 to Poole, who ran 11 yards.
