22 (JP) A churning 72 yard run- by substitute Peter Lash highlighted a cascade of Army touchdowns which smothered fangless Colum bia, 45-0, today to break a two- game losing streak for the men of West Point. After his fleet infantry troops had rolled to four touchdowns in the opening half. Coach Earl Blaik obviously called off the dogs and sought to show the Lions some mercy. Army's varsity, stung by sue cessive losses to Michigan and Syracuse, played less than half the game. But reserves such as Lash, Frank Burd and Bob Mun- ger proved even more damaging.

Reverses Field Twice Lash's high-stepping sprint came with 15 seconds left in the opening half on the first play from scrimmage after Army had taken a punt. He reversed his field twice, sneaked out of at least two traps and galloped across the goal. Dick Murtland, a jarring straightaway runner, scored two of the three last-half touchdowns, plunging over from the 1 in the third period and sprinting nine yards in the second to end a 61- yard march. The other came in the fading seconds when Army's alert third team recovered a fumble in Columbia territory and sent young Al Martina dashing over from 13 yards out. Zeigler Scores The Cadets tallied in the first seven minutes after a bad kick by Jim Mooney had given them the ball on Columbia's 31.

Mike Zeigler scored from the 10. Two other touchdowns in the opening half came on marches of 66 and 69 yards. Pat Uebel plunged over from the two and Munger ran from the nine to climax the driver. Columbia, with Its ace passer Claude Benham smeared almost every time he cocked his arm. made only a couple of menacing gestures, neither of which -mate-riaHzfd.

HERMAN Randolph-Macon spotted Johns Hopkins a two-touchdown first period lead, then rebounded to hand the Blue Jays their fourth straight defeat, 21 to 18, in a Mason -Dixon Conference football game yesterday at Homewood Field. Hopkins was nowhere close in any of its three extra-point tries while the Virginians placed theirs boots straight between the up right sand that was the margin between the two teams. Blue Jays Get Breaks The Blue Jays got the breaks in the first quarter of the fumble-riddled game, but thereafter Hopkins had rough going and the Yellow Jackets, who brought one of their better teams here from came back to capture their fourth game, third in Mason-Dixon play.

Hopkins could have clinched matters in the first period, but the Blue Jays lacked the punch to push over a third touchdown and surrendered the ball on the Randolph-Macon 11 after once getting to the 8 on second down. Hopkins kicked off to open the game and on the second play Center Don Gallagher, who missed the first two contests with an injured shoulder, recovered a fumble on the Jackets' 18. Jack Lawrence Scores It took Fullback Jack Lawrence, who gained 86 yards in 16 carries for the afternoon, only two plays to score. The Loyola High grad made 3 the first attempt, then burst through center for the final 15 to give Hopkins the lead at 2.15. Cliff Harding's conversion kick was off to the left.

The pattern remained the same after Lawrence kicked off again. This time it was End Tom Gibson who recovered a Phil Coppage fumble on the winner's 26. Five plays -later Barrie Wood tallied the first of his two touchdowns from the 2. Lawrence's kick went straight up in the air. Coppage was nailed on the Jackets' 11 on the ensuing kick-off and on second down Charles iNuttycomDe punt was return ea 10 yards by Harding to the 30.

Hopkins got a first down on the 12 and Harding made four more. But Randolph Macon stiffened and Harding's fourth down pass was grounded. 13 Fumbles In Game A Hopkins fumble, one of thir teen in the game, seven committed by the Blue Jays, set up the first tally. Guard Dave Jolly did the honors, falling on a John Steers bobble on the Hopkins 32. Eight plays later Berme Pinchbeck went over from the one on fourth down at 9.20 of the second (Continued on Page 4, Column 2) PENN BREAK FOILED Ned yardage before fumbling after JAMAICA RACE TO DUG DE FER Field Horse Leads $30,150 Handicap From Start New York, Oct.

22 (P) James W. Rodgers's Due De Fer spurted to, a three-length lead at the start and galloped home easily in the thirty-fourth running of the Interborough Handicap that launched a 21 day meeting of the Greater New York Association at Jamaica race track today. The 4-year-old son of Spy Song- Lady Waterloo, invading from the New Jersey circuit, stepped the six furlongs in the smart time of 1.11 4-5. with Donald Brumfield in the saddle. Fabulist Runs Second Three lengths back came Tide Stable's Fabulist, who headed Clearwater Stable's Dark Peter for the place.

Albert J. Mesler's War Command was a length out of the money. The last named was a contender until midstretch. Due De Fer was winning his third race in 15 starts and earning $21,100 net for Rodgers. The last time he was in New York be was unplaced in the Roseben Handicap at Belmont Park in May.

Another New Jersey invader. Wesley E. Brown's Royal Battle, was sent off the favorite by the crowd of 32,835, but was never in the hunt, finishing sixth. Due De Fer Pays $22.10 Du De Fer, coupled with Robert O. J.

Streuber's First Served and Mrs. Richard J. Maloney, Jr's On Flight as a field horse, was lightly supported in the betting, returning mutuels of $22.10, $9.60 and $6.30. Fabulist, coupled with Jan Burke's Squared Away, winner of the Interborough in 1952, paid $6.20 and $4.90 and Dark Peter was $7.60 to show. Davidson Wildcats Top Virginia Military, 21-7 Lexington.

Oct. 22 P) Davidson's Wildcats stunned Virginia Military today with two exceptional passes and a hard-charging line for a 21-7 Southern Con ference football victory over the Cadets. The passing of Dick Belton and Dyke Little was the big difference as the Wildcats scored their third straight conference triumph. Wesleyan Tops Amherst Amherst, Oct. 22 (P) Wesleyan's powerful running attack was too much for Amherst today and the visiting Cardinals registered a 25-to-6 triumph in the opening game of the Little Three round robin.

installed Thomas Patrick game with the third and fourth' string men sharing the other half. As a matter of fact, little action was seen by any of the first team. Entire Game From Bench So Welsh got his first look this year at an entire game from the bench, either through Erdelatz's mercy for the hapless Quakers, or his foresight in saving George the Genius for more potent stuff, such as Notre Dame next Saturday. The victory was the ninth straight for Navy and its fifth this year without loss. Four of the games have been shutouts.

Penn lost its fourteenth straight and completed its seventeenth game without a win. Forrestal, an 18-year-old from Cleveland, is no kin to the late Secretary of the Navy, but he proved he could run the Academy team by directing three of the five touchdown drives. Beagle Scores On Pass He set up the first with a 32-yard pass to End Ronnie Beagle, scored the second on a two-yard buck and passed ten yards to Beagle for the third. He completed five of 13 tosses for 65 yards. Penn got past the Navy 45 only once and that was after a fumble recovery on the Navy 25.

The Quakers moved the ball onltf 46 yards on the ground and ten in the air, compared to Navy's 261 overland and 89 in the air. Penn was able to get only one first down, and that on a 10-yard pass. against the ch'arging Middies. Navy, despite rough edges on attack due to the inex perience of most of the backs used today, rolled up a total of 21 first downs. Monto Gains 43 Yards Navy's ground yardage was di vided among 13 backs, with Fullback Vince Monto gaining 43 on 10 carries; Halfback Chet Bur- chett 47 in 10 tries; Halfback Ned Oldham, 44 in and Halfback Paul Gober 32 in.

8 to lead the parade. The Middies clinched the game with three touchdowns in the final nine minutes of the first half, with Forrestal directing the first two and third stringer Gus Pra- halis the third. Penn won the toss and Navy kicked off with a slight breeze at its back. Three plays later Penn handed Navy the ball via the fumble route on the Quaker 37 and the Tars' first touchdown drive was under way. Penalty Stalls Drive It was f'elayed somewhat, how- ever.

After Forrestal made what would have been the third firft down in the drive on the Penn one. Navy was penalized 15 yards to the Penn 26 for holding. But the worst was to come. Forrestal's pass was too wide for Burchett. He lost four yards on a messea up nanaoti, then and recovered himself another 4-yard loss and it was and 29 on the Penn 34.

Saving his most dramatic blow for the blackest situation, Forrestal calmly drifted back and fired to Beagle down the middle for a first down on the three. At that, a measurement was needed. Three plays later, Burchett went over from the one. He fumbled as he went into the end zone but officials ruled he had control of the ball. Oldham Adds Extra Point Oldham placekicked the extra point to make it Navy 7, Penn 0 after 7.43 of the first period.

The Middie halfback converted twice (Continued on Page 4, Column 3) Sports Index College football.

which turned out to see the old Colts battle the New York Yankees in the now defunct Ail-American Conference. The year was 1947 and at that time head check was reported actually only 45,000 paid. The rest were free loaders. The Redskins would like nothing better than to send home Colt faithfuls under the gloom of de-' feat while improving on their own 2-2 record in the Eastern Division. For a time last week it appeared the Colts would be in dire shape for the Redskins game.

As Coach Weeb Ewbank put it, after sur veying the damage done by the Chicago Bears: "We'll be there (referring to today's game), but not in numbers, I am afraid." Therapy Machine Helps He, of course, was thinking of the 14 gridders who needed medi cat attention after the Bear game. His apprehensions were erased somewhat by quick attention to the injured and a comparatively new physical therapy machine, which works on injuries via high frequency sound waves. This ultrasound equipment helped mend the injuries rapidly and today only two Colts are definitely sidelined. They are the two great defensive ends Don Joyce and Gino Marchetti. They will be missed, but Ew bank is hoping that a completely healed offensive team can over come their absence by scoring often.

Replacing the two injured ends will be Buzz Nutter, who made a miraculous recovery from a shoul- der injury, and George Preas, rookie offensive guard. Womble Back At Left Half Royce Womble, one of the best prospects in the league, will be back at his old stamping grounds, left half, while Buddy Young will alternate with the recently recovered L. G. Dupre at right half. The only other change in the lineup will find Lloyd Colteryahn.

who was with the 'Skins earlier in the year. With Eddie LeBaron at the controls, the Redskins feel certain they can score against the Colts, and they point with pride to their preseason game when they jumped to a 23-to-7 lead after three quarters, only to see the Colts roar back with three fourth-period touchdowns to tie the game. Strong man on their defensive club is Gene Brito, big bruising end who puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the passer. The LeBaron-George Shaw (Continued on Page 3, Column 1) N.F.L.

22-7 Hornung Defensive -Play Sets Up Victory Navy plays Notre Dame this Saturday at South Bend, Ind. Lafayette, Oct. 22 (JP) Alert Notre Dame, raging after a defeat by Michigan State, turned Purdue's passing attack into a suicide weapon and avenged its only 1954 defeat today, 22-7. be fore a Ross-Ade Stadium record crowd of 55,500. The Irish capitalized on two Purdue fumbles and an inter cepted pass to tally their three touchdowns.

Outweighed 25 pounds per man up iront. rsotre Dame came up with its first unbalanced line in modern times and pushed the hulking Boilermakers all over the ground. Use Purdue Mistakes Notre Dame turned a Purdue fumble and an intercepted pass into third-quarter touchdowns that broke a 7-7 tie. Irish Quarterback Paul Hornung also started the first drive by recovering a fumble. He pulled down another Purdue pass on his 20 to stop a promising Purdue drive in the same period.

Fullback Don Schaefer and Halfbacks Dean Studer and Aubrey Lewis scored Notre Dame's touchdowns on short runs. Schaefer kicked wo extra points. Quarterback Len Dawson passed 13 yards to End Leonard Zyzda for Purdue's single touchdown in the second quarter after Schaefer plunged, over for the Irish in the first. Dawson also converted the extra point. Dawson Rushed Notre Dame's ferocious rushing of Dawson set up a safety late in the period.

Dawson was smeared repeatedly and the Boilermakers found themselves with a fourth down 50 yards to go on their 11. The pass from center sailed over Dawson's head into the end zone. Notre Dame dominated thr first half, although the Dawson-Zyzda scoring pass nullified the statistical difference up to the inter mission.

22 (P) Souped-up Minnesota shook proud Michigan to its very foundations today before the top-ranked football team in the land wiped out a two-touchdown deficit for a harrowing 14-13 victory. The thrice-beaten Gophers startled a crowd of 64,434, a regional television audience, and the unbeaten Wolverines with two lightning touchdowns in the first quarter and appeared destined for the upset of the season. But Michigan gathered itself for a sudden touchdown late in the second period on two bril liantly executed pass plays, then killed the Gophers' upset hopes with a nine-yard touchdown pitch from Sophomore im Van Pelt to Tom Maentz in the third period. The Vital Play The vital play, although it appeared relatively unimportant at the time, was Terry Barr's block of Mike Falls's conversion try after the second Gopher touchdown. Tony Branoff and Van Pelt kicked perfect placements for Michigan's margin.

Famed for its talent for exploit ing rival mistakes, Michigan put itself in trouble twice in the first period and Minnesota cashed in superbly. Barr Tfumbled Rhody Tuszka's line-drive punt midway through the period and the Wolverine halfback was nailed on the Michigan 3 before he could recover. Pinky McNamara sped back to the Michigan 24 with the ensuing punt. Ken Yackel barreled to the 13, then to the 8 and Sophomore Bcb Schultz streaked over on the next play. Gophers Score Again Minnesota scored again within 3V2 minutes a short Michigan kick, iackel driving over from the 16.

A 36-yard pass-lateral from Van Pelt to Mike Rotunno to Ed Shan non carried to the Minnesota 23, late in the half. Barr found Maentz with another pass on the 5 and Barr tore over from there. Michigan paraded 43 yards for its winning score early in the second half. Van Pelt lobbing to Maentz in the end zone after Minnesota stiffened on the 9. The victory was Michigan's fifth in a row and gave it continued possession of the famed Little Brown Jug.

Stung by Minnesota's two quick touchdowns, Michigan responded in the second quarter with a drive that carried to the Minnesota 6. But they wound up on the 15 four plays later and needed the passing of Van Pelt and Barr to get them back on the track later in the period. Hammer Center Michigan's payoff touchdown march was a product of ceaseless hammering at the center of the Gopher line by Barr, Lou Baldac- ci ana lony isranott vvnen Minnesota braced. Van Pelt took a hand off from Baldacci on the spin series and found Maentz all alone with a pass in the Gopher end zone. Michigan three times moved for a comforting touchdown late in the game but fumbles and ob stinate Minnesota defense kept the Gophers in the game to the finish.

PittRips Unbeaten Duke Eleven, 26-7 Durham N.C., Oct. 22 (JP) Pittsburgh's twice-beaten football team rose up to smash previously unbeaten Duke, the nation's fifth-ranking team, 26 to 7, today. The Panthers held fumble-plagued Duke, also the nation's fifth-ranking rushing team, to.

92 yards on the ground and ran up 249 themselves as they spoiled home-coming day for a crowd of 31.000. Pittsburgh's one-two quarterback punch of Pete Neft and Corny Salvaterra added enough aerial threat to round out Pitt's devastating attack. Duke Leads At Half, 7-6 Duke nursed a 7-6 halftime lead after a scoreless first period, but thereafter the Panthers were pretty much in control. They moved ahead in the third quarter when Halfback Lou Cimarolli plunged over from a yard out. boosted their lead to two touchdowns in the fourth quarter when Halfback Corky Cost also plunged over from the one.

Adding insult to Injury the Panthers scored again 20 seconds before the finish when third-string Quarterback Darrell Lewis threw a 15-yard pass into the end zone to End Joe Walton. It was Walton who scored Pitt's first touchdown in the second period when he took a 36-yard pass from Salvaterra. Fumbles Hurt Duke Duke, winner of four previous games this season, had struck swiftly after the first Pitt score, Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen throwing a 35-yard pass to Halfback Bunny Blaney who scampered 40 more yards for an easy touchdown. Four times Duke lost the ball on fumbles and several other times its progress was imoeded by bobbles which the Blue Devils managed to recover.

The junior circuit placed 8 of the 11 players on the squad in a poll of sports writers conducted by the national baseball weekly. It was the first time since 1951, when Mickey Mantle, Minnie Minoso and Gil McDougald broke in, that the American League won more berths than the National. Senators Named Washington, cellar club in the American, and St. Louis, seventh-place team in the National, each placed two players on the team.

The free-swinging first baseman did some of his best hitting against the top clubs in the loop and was particularly tough on the Yankees.
