J. and Thiel College, game time at 2 p.m. Henry is established as one of the greatest linemen in football history and it is fitting hat College Field, which was the scene of some of Henry's greatest gridiron accomplishments, will be the site of the Hall of Fame honor.

The Gunners previously beaten Chartiers, Waynes-burg, California and Central Catholic in that order. The only Canonsburg defeat was suffered at the hands of Wash High in the season opener. To date, the date Hillers have won four while losing two of their games played this season. Trinity dumped Chartiers, Redstone and Wash Hieh in that order and then lost on consecutive week-ends tc Ivinessen and Charieroi. Last week, the H.llers scored a 13-7 ctorv over California Community gh.

In other games this week, Chartiers will play host to a tough Burgettstown High outfit. The Buccos have shown improvement in their recent games against Cecil and Carnegie, and will be looking for a win in the contest at Canonsburg Memorial Stadium Friday night. Also on Friday, the Cecil Bulldogs will take to the road to meet the South Fayette eleven at South Fayette. The Bulldogs coached by Morris DeLiere have a record of four wins, one loss and one tie for the season. On Thursday, MsDonald will host Hickory High at McDonald in a game that could be a thriller.

The Macs, undefeated so far this season are defending the Washington-Greene County Class Conference title they won last year. Hickory, up till now, has won four games and lost two, being handed its second setback of the campaign last week at the hands of West Bethlehem. Under new head coach Andrew Kuzemka this year, the Rockets operate with a T-forma-tion. In other games.

(UP) Coach Rip Engle called today for special emphasis on pass defense as Penn State prepared for its first football meeting in history with Texas Christian University. The Nittany Lions, losers of their first two games, will be seeking their third victory in a row in the i homecoming game here, 1 Texas Christian won its opener but has since lost three straight. However, the Horned Frogs nar- rowly missed ending Michigan State's victory streak, now 28 in a row, when they led the Spartans going into the fourth quarter only to lose 26-19. Frank Patrick, who scouted TCU, said the Spartans have "the kind of team that may explode any Saturday." "The fell short against Michigan State, but had the game wrapped up until the Spartans outmanned them.

If their running' and passing games ever click on the same day, it'll be a sad day for the opposition, Patrick said. The game, second of four in a row for Penn State here, will mark the Lions' first encounter with a Southwestern Conference team since their 13-13 deadlock with Southern Methodist in the Cotton Bowl in 1948.

the final outcome of the game. It is just one of the things that happen 'on tlx football field. The Gunners had another break too in the Wash High game which for a referee was a tough one to call. The referees had to make a decision one way or the other and unfortunately, the break went against the Gunners. This one in which Larry Gregory was ruled to have fumbled a punt was also very questionable.

Had the referees ruled that Gregory did not have possession of the ball, Wash High would not have had a first down inside the Gunner ten yard line. But nevertheless, as it happened it was just another bad "break" for the Gunners. The Chartiers Buccaneers have shown much improvement in their recent games with Cecil and Carnegie High. The Bucs have been undergoing an almost complete rebuilding job under new head coach John Riggle and his assistants, John Mullins and John Abraham, and have dropped very close games in their last two times out.

Arnold Galiffa "Starts From Scratch" In Pro Football NEW YORK (UP) Arnold former Army All-America quarterback, said today he is "starting from scratch" in his attempt to make good in professional football. Galiffa made his pro debut Sunday for the New York Giants against the Chicago Cardinals. He wasn't brilliant but he was signed only two weeks ago and still is trying to get into condition after three years in the Army.

He took part in only a few plays and the only pass lie threw was intercepted. But Coach Stove Owen believes Galiffa, whose passes led Army to a perfect-record season in 1949, will team with Charley Conerly to give the Giants the powerful 1-2 quarterback punch veery National Football League team needs. Galiffa has one big thing in his favor. He's deadly serious about making good. He was busy studying New York's plays long before he joined the team and he works on his passes after the other Giants have headed for the showers.

Galiffa, a product of the foobtall system taught by Coach Earl (Red) Blaik of Army, is right at horn ein Owen's and "Swing-T" formations. The 25-year-old native of Donora, isn't familiar with New York's A-formation, Owen's version of the single wing, but that doesn't worry him. "I'm starting from scratch but if practice will help I'll learn the A-formation before long," Galiffa said. There's no doubt about Galiffa's passing ability. His throws travel like bullets.

Backfield Coach Al Sherman is particularly impressed with his new pupil. "The kid will make good and in a bgi way. Just give him time to feel his way around and he'll be around a long time," Sherman said. Galiffa was more than a football star at West Point. Only one other cadet ever earned more letters than Galiffa.

Arnei collected 11 letters in football, baseball and basketball. "Lighthorse Harry" Wilson earned 21 in the I920's. 9 Galiffa was graduated in 1950 and one month later found himself in Japan. Two months after that, he was in Korea where he won a battlefield promotion to first lieutenant After 20 months in Korea. Galiffa returned to Fort Beniiing, as an instructor.

He was discharged last week but is a mem ber of the active reserve. He plans to work for a Philadelphia book concern during the off-season. Galiffa grinned when asked about an Army dispatch which credits him with throwing a hand grenade 75 yards twice as far as the manual says a grenade can be thrown accurately in action. "Well, maybe it wasn't uqito that far but I really liked to throw those things." Galiffa said. The Giants figure he'll get even more fun out of throwing a football.

FOUR GRID GAMES ON TV SATURDAY NEW YORK (UP) The armchair fan who likes to nip the bottle between punts and passes will be severely tested when he tunes in the NCAA football telecast of the week next Saturday. He'll be watching four games at once in such widely scattered points as Princeton, N. Memphis, Champaign, and Iowa City. It's an unprecedented panoramic pickup being staged by the National Broadcasting Company to bring the fans the highlights of the Princeton-Cornell, Mississippi-Arkansas, Illinois Syracuse and Iowa-Indiana games.

The program, requiring a special technical preparation, will be directed from a master control center in Chicago. The games will be fed into the center and monitored by producer Bill Garden and NBC sports director Tom Gallery. Gallery will supervise the switching from game to game in a way designed to televise the best action of each contest. But the little woman needn't be surprised if she hears the breadwinner arguing next S'unclay that Princeton beat Arkansas, Cornell walloped Mississippi, Illinois toppled Indiana and Syracuse defeated Iowa. It'll merely mean that the old man lost another bout with the bottle.

Fcrdham Grid Coach Out of Alibis NEW YORK (UP) Ed Danowski of Fordham is a rarity a football coach who has run out of alibis. "I've just run out of alibis," Danowski said after successive losses to Syracuse and Boston College. "Wo just don't make the key plays." Try A Classified Ad!

Advance Sales Poinl To Gross Gate (or Glson-Turpin Fight NEW YORK (UP) Box office men at Madison Square Garden estimated today that the advance sale of $90,000 indicated a gross gate of $175,000 for Wednesday night's Bobo Olson -Randy Turpin middleweight title fight. The crowd would be about 16,000. Olson oi Hawaii, American champion, was still favored at 2-1 to win the vacant world's lW pound crown in his 15-round fight with Turpin of England, ex-world champion and current European title holder. As Turpin broke camp today at Grossinger, N. Manager George Middletou assured reporters that the British Negro was having no trouble paring down to the 160 pound limit and that his mental attitude was excellent.

Middleton made his statement before Turpin and his entourage set out for New York City, where he will rest at a hotel until the weigh-in Wednesday noon. There had been persistent reports Tur pin had weakened himself by par ing down too rapidly from 171 pounds to nearly 160. Moreover, Randy bad been strangely aloof with the press. Explaining that aloofness, Mid dleton admitted Randy had been "somewhat homesick." Meanwhile, Olson remained in camp at Asbury Park, N. and planned to motor into New York Wednesady just in time for the weigh-in.

Manager Syd Flaherty denied reports he planned to ask the New-York commission to caution Turpin against butting during the ficht. He said. "Bobo is a big boy and well able to take care of himself." The fight will be televised and broadcast nationally, but there will be a TV blackout on a radius of 75 miles from the Garden. price will be much closer when Roaring Randolph crawls hrough the ropes against Carl (Bobo) Olson of Hawaii and San Francisoc at Madison Square Garden. Even intense dislike has a tendency to wane under the dampening influ ence of cold cash.

Because, as far as this corner is concerned, tne carnival ciouter from Great Britain actually should be the favorite and the winner. There have been any number of reasons advanced as to why Bobo. brother of a boxer with great abil ity to absorb tremendous punish ment, should be the favorite. The best is that the "experts" don't like the way Turpin has trained. It simmers down, actually, to the fact that they don't line Tur pin.

lie nas Deen nara to imei-view and almost crusty in his centi. He boxed when he felt like it. and, no matter who made the long trip to his training camp, did n't spar when he wasn in the mood. The gentlemen so treated natu rally went to great ends to find something wrong with him. But you must take into consid eration that Turpin has called his own training shots for a long time, and done quite well in the process.

He has won 49 out. of 53 bouts. scoring 33 knorKouts. iwice ne came to grips with Ray Robinson, and got no worse than a split. Thus it must carry some weight when he says now: "I know how 1 feel and I feel sharp." Olson is a formidable opponent.

which certainly isn't doubted. He, too, fought Robinson twice. Sugar Ray put him away in 12 rounds the first time and took a decision in their 1955 second meeunc. Comparing Turpin and Olson, you must concede Turpin the great- es puncning aDuny ana nis iour and one-half inch advantage in reach should greatly offset much of Olson's supposedly superior boxing ability. I am not convinced that he is a far superior boxer and has to go with the greater fire power.

11 stacks up as a really fine bout, which makes those 2-1 odds all the more unbelievable. It appears as if the experts have fallen into a trap of their own making and Turpin should confound his critics to such an extent on Wednesday night that they'll have to run and hide. Expert FRONT -END ALIGNMENT See It for Yourself on Our VISUALINER Screen If halfback Jim Dudley of the Canonsburg Gunners ever wonders what happened to an 85-yard touchdown run, he can discount it as one of the "breaks" of the game. The Gunner back turned in as neat a run as a fan would care to see in the game with Central Catholic recently hitting into the line, then cutting to his left, and going down the south side of the field for an 85-yard TD. It would have made the score of Canonsburg 38.

Central Catholic 6 even more lopsided than it was. We say "would have" the play was called back to the Central 38 yard line because of a "clipping" penalty. Referees, like other human beings, are subjected to mistakes too. In this case, we feel that it was a mistake and that the Gunner lineman, who was charged with the clipping penalty, in reality executed a beautiful block of which the whole Canonsburg line is capable of making. Over that call, there was much dispute in the dressing room.
