24 Seaford is risking the distinction 24 of being undefeated against down24 state Delaware opposition when 24 meeting the Bulldogs tomorrow in 24 Laurel. 24 This successful season has been 20 a pleasant surprise to Coach Bob20 by Dowd, who, at the start of the 19 schedule, couldn't see his inex19 perienced squad winning many 18 games. Twenty-three seniors were 18 lost by graduation last spring and more will be playing their final 18 schoolboy game tomorrow. 18 The co-captains, Billy Harper 18 and Robert Kough, are among 18 those bowing out as scholastic 18 grid warriors. 18 "There's the two big reasons for 18 our success," Dowd said.

He goes ,18 on to explain why. "Harper is one of the best linebackers I ever coached at Seaford, and there have been some good ones, including David Grosh, Doc Chaffinch and Johnny Higgins. He's an excellent blocker, and, if you recall, Billy was one of our best players on our undefeated team of last season. He does all the place kicking, and it was his boot that decided our 7-6 win over Lewes High. Harper is of good size, 5-11, 175 pounds.

I can't say enough for him." What about Kough? "Well, his versatility has carried our team a long, long way," Dowd replied. "Offensively he has played quarterback, left halfback, end and tackle. Wherever there was a vacancy created by injuries, Kough was always there to do the job. On defense, he has performed as defensive halfback and linebacker. I truthfully believe that he's the best interior lineman we've had at Seaford in quite some while.

Not only that, there probably isn't a better punter on the Eastern Shore, averaging 38 yards. His 70-yard rolling punt against Lewes High was the turning point of the game, and the winning touchdown and extra point soon followed. Kough is a big boy, too, -6-foot, 178 pounds." Harper and Kough, both members of the students National Honor Society, are on the wooing list of the Universities of Delaware and Maryland, Dowd proudly declared. Barnes Seeks At Least 113 Yards By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Bill Barnes, senior fullback from Wake 'Forest, will be more than thankful tomorrow if he can pick up 113 yards rushing against South Carolina as part of the Turkey Day trimmings.

And if he does. it's likely to spoil the dinner of Jim Crawford, senior tilback on Wyoming's Skyline Conference champions. Robert Kough Billy Harper Billy Vessels To Get Chance Against Rams It looks as though Billy Vessels will finally get the chance to lug that football. for the Baltimore Colts. With L.

G. Dupre sidelined with a severe ankle sprain, the Oklahoma: University All-American is expected to see considerable offensive halfback action against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday in Memorial Stadium. Vessels has been used at various spots this season, none long enough to give anyone an idea of his true ability. Dupre sprained his ankle in the first period against the Detroit Lions last Sunday afternoon. He was walking on crutches yesterday.

Failure to play Vessels in a ballcarrying role during the recent 27- 3 defeat by Detroit brought about quite a bit of criticism of Coach Weeb Ewbank from Colt rooters. With Lenny Moore, the other halfback 1 being thrown for loss after loss, it was a mystery why Ewbank didn't permit Vessels to carry the ball. Instead he played him on a flanker position, and he caught one of three passes for 1 gain. Ewbank said several weeks ago that it was foolish to break up an offensive halfback combination Dupre and Moore that was performing so well. This proved to be good reasoning during wins over Green Bay and Cleveland.

SHORE SPORTS By ED NICHOLS comico High athletes, with some of the football players. Wi- They are, reading from left HUDDLING. Here's Miss Marion Moore, member of the Wicomico High faculty, a favorite of the Malvin Minton, Charley on, Tommy and to Sample, Wi-Hi Gridders Look To Math Teacher For Help She's quietly nursed Wicomico, High athletes over the years by quietly administering little doses of inspiration, advice and constructive criticism when necessary. A mother hen with so many littie chicks aptly describes this wispy little woman who always mirrors a ready smile.

She's Marion Moore, the algebra and French teacher. The boys call her "Mother Marion," and she doesn't object. Her admirers are many. The alumni, some of it in far away foreign lands, never forget her. Those in college write and ask for advice concerning their studies.

She's a big reason why the football players are always punctual for their first morning class. They assemble in her home room at 8:30 a.m. for a general chining session. Most of the talk is about football, of course, and other times the topic may be a toughie in history, or French or English. She's 8 good listener, an atten tive one.

Mother Marion hears personal problems that probably reach the ears of the coaching staff. At times, she jabs a verbal needle of encouragement, and in other instances an injection of criticism may be necessary, especially to a lagging student. Illness to a player is much her concern, and she takes her little kit of sunshine to the home of the boy, or telephones the parents. There may be more loyal Wicomico High rooters, but we doubt it. For instance, she has missed only one football game in the past three years, and that was because she was attending the state teachers meeting in Baltimore.

This annual session didn't stop her this Oct. 19 her birthday. She hustled from Baltimore to Laurel to see her chums romp over Laurel High, 67-0. Now, the story can be told why the Indians piled up such a high score on Laurel. She had previously suggested the players score the equal of her age.

However, she apparently forgot to tell them the number of years. So, the kids went out and made sure. Here And There Which was the toughest team Laurel High has played this year? "Why everyone should know that Wicomico High, of course," replied Morris Harris, fullback of the Bulldogs. He's also sure that Bob Sample, Wi-Hi fullback, has been the hardest ball carrier for him to bring down this year. An Eastern Shore High School Star team will be picked soon by the Del-Mar Coaches and Of- Association.

Ronnie Waller will soon be offered a lucrative contract from the Canadian Football League if he cares 1 to "jump" the National League after the finish of the current season. This was revealed by Canuck football scout who asked that his identity be withheld, The Eastern Shoreman will be offered a two-year pact which would be one of the highest salarles ever given to a U. S. collegiate or NFL star to play in the Dominion, The figure was reportled to be in the bracket of $20,000 a season. The scout said he plans to huddle with Waller, and other discontented Los Angeles players when the Rams return from their Eastern Road trip in Pitts(burgh, Dec.

2. Canadian teams, the scout explained, plan on discarding the honoring of the NFL optional clause in the players' contract next year. This stems from sevbitter legal battles this season between NFL and teams. The Los Angeles clab apparently is ripe for a bit of wooing from across the border right now. It's a team of many stars and many, disgruntled players.

The Rams' decline is difficult to believe. They have talent galore, so much in fact that from last year's Western Division championship team they felt they could cut loose Andy Robustelli, Ed Hughes, Big Daddy Lipscomb, Woodley Lewis, Skeets Quinian and Bob Cross. No other pro team has had as stormy a career as the Rams. DisI sension has enveloped their last four seasons. It has involved owner Dan Reeves vs Stydahar; Stydahar vs assistant coach, Hampton Pool; Pool vs players Dan Towler and Tom Fears; players, Fear vs Elroy Hirsch; and the scrap between Reeves and the stockholders.

Los Angeles players who don't deny they're in Coach Sid Gillman's dog house at the moment are Tank Younger, Bob Boyd and Norm Van Brocklin. It will be interesting to hear what some of the other Rams have to say when they come to Baltimore this weekend. News from College Park Almost every professional football team has written for data about Maryland's co captains, tackle Mike Sandusky and guard Jack Davis, according to Joe Blair, the Terps' athletic publicity director.

TURKEYS DUCKS OTHER PRIZES SPONSORED BY FRUITLAND RED MEN Oregon State Needs Victory For Loop Crown to Pi- with 68 this tala day all His Re- runthe late 18. Criscon- By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon State, all set for a New Year's Day date in the Rose Bowl with Iowa, has anotuer holiday matter confronting it tomorrow in one of several traditional Thanksgiving Day college football games. The Beavers, lacking only the formality of a vote to assure their presence at Pasadena Jan. 1, need a victory over archrival Oregon to clinch their school's second cific Coast conference champion ship in the 41-year history of the league. Oregon State (6-1) is challenged for the- PCC leadershhip by UCLA (5-1), a Rose Bowl ineligible.

Should the Beavers falter, UCLA would be able to lift the championship for the fourth straight year by defeating Southern. California Saturday. A further scrambling or unscrambling- of the Atlantic Coast Conference's position concerning its Orange Bowl representative could come about in South Caro(lina's game with Wake Forest. There's been renewed interest in. the Gamecocks (4-2) and in four-times-beaten Duke (3-1 in ACC competition) since Clemson was mauled by Miami 21-0 last week.

Since the conference is not bound to' send its champion to the bowl, merely its "most a good performance by South Carolina could keep the pot boiling. Clemson still leads with a 3-0-1 league record. Other pairings for the Thanksgiving football menu are Virginia Tech vs. Virginia Military, Penn vs. winless Cornell, Colgate at Brown in a morning game, Miami (Ohio) at Cincinnati, Maryland at North Carolina State, William Mary at Richmond, Washington Lee at Washington rado at Denver, and Idaho at Montana.

Art Spiney of the Baltimore Colts the "most underrated guard in the National Football League." Weeb Ewbank, Colts' coach, says the difference between losing and winning is in the line play. "When you hear the 'pop' of leather, you know your defensive and offensive lines are doing the job," declared. When Lenny Moore, Colt halfback, was a senior in Reading (Pa.) High School, he used to watch the Reading Eastern League baseball club. One of the Reading outfielders was Bert Rechichar, now teammate of Moore's with the Hosses. Before the Colts take the field for a game warmup, End Raymond Berry plays catch with a teammate in the locker room for a full hour.

So far in 1956 Berry is the club's leading pass receiver with 20 receptions, the longest for 54 yards. Joan Roszza To Qualify Nov. 29 MELBOURNE (-Joan Rosazza of Torrington, one of America's hopes in the Olympic 100-meter women's freestyle, will swim her qualifying heat Nov. 29 alongside Lorraine Crapp, Australia's world record holder in the event. Joan, 19-year-old Purdue coed, learned today.

"There is no one I'd rather swim next to than the world champion," she said. "Lorraine is favored to win the event, but I'm feeling fine and Lorraine's presence is sure to make me swim well. She won't have an easy time. All of us will aim to make her work hard." Women's coach Stanley Tink(ham said Joan has been swimming favorably and "could easily win all the marbles" in the meters. Pappy Waldorf Quits California Bears BERKELEY, Calif.

(2-Lynn 0. (Pappy) Waldorf, dean of citic Coast Conference football coaches, announced his resignation to his California squad last night, emphasizing "it was my own idea." The Waldorf, head man at California since 1947, said there was "no pressure on me to quit and this was merely the step I've contemplated for quite while." Waldorf, whose three-year contract expires July 1, has been under fire by alumni groups two years. His salary has been estimated at $15,000 a year, Waldorf piloted the Golden Bears to 66 victories, 32 defeats and 4 ties in 10 years. He took California to the Rose Bowl in 1949, 1950 and 1951, losing all three times. This year, the Bears have lost seven games while winning two.
