It was his "day" in more ways than one. Before the game it was "Charley Conerly Day" as his employers, teammates, and fans paid tribute to the senior member of the Giants.

He has a sympathizer in Dale Hall, coach of U.

S. Military Academy's team. Hall probably put in the most horrendous afternoon of his life Saturday as he watched his team torn to shreds by the middies from the Naval Academy, 43-12. The Navy attack was highlighted by the running of Joe Bellino, who scored three TDs, and performed like it was the last thing he was ever going to do; not to forget the quarterbacking of Joe Tran-chini. The key to the victory was the midshipmen's defense of Joe Caldwell, Army's brilliant quarterback, who had completed 60 per cent of his.

Hardin decided to risk giving Caldwell a chance to flip his short swing: pass in favor of blunting: long ones. The Navy line charged fast and the secondary was instructed to play tight, blanketing receivers. Everyone knows it worked.

By Walt Ditzen HAMILTON, N. Y. (AP) Colgate, continuing its long but thus far unsuccessful courtship of the Ivy League, has dropped three big-time-football independents from its schedule. The Chenango Valley university has made no secret of its desire to join the Ivy ranks. For seven years, it has adhered to Ivy policies, including a ban on football scholarships and spring practice.

But each fall, the Red Raiders of Syracuse Still No. 1 Rankings with Ole By The Associated Press Only UCLA's giant-killers stand be-, tween Syracuse's precisionists and the national football championship. Their clash Saturday in Los Angeles before a national television audience likely will decide whether the unbeaten and untied Orangemen retain their No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press poll.

They will not be scheduled, a Colgate spokesman said.

Colgate has been wooing Ivy membership for at least 10 years. Two years ago Colgate President Everett Case, in setting the school's policy, said Colgate would play all colleges with similar athletic and academic interests. He admitted then that the school would jump at a chance for league membership. Case and Chancellor William P. Tolley of Syracuse said in their statement Monday night that "it has become apparent that the annual gridiron rivalry between Colgate and Syracuse has lost much of its traditional luster." For many years, this was the big game for both schools.

Colgate holds a 31-24 edge in victories. There have been five ties. In recent years. Syracuse steadily has been growing stronger. This week, it is the top team in The Associated Press poll.

In one period, however, from 1925 to 1937, Colgate won all but two of their games, the two were ties. Penn State returned to the Colgate schedule this fall for the first time since 1948.

As he spoke, snow flurries drifted down on a five-inch lay-, er on the practice field. In Los Angeles, it was in the sun-warmed 70s.

Barnes, by transcontinental telephone, told a football writers' gathering: "We'll be outweighed in every position by the biggest and strongest team UCLA has faced in years." His big problem, he said, was to devise a means of stopping Syracuse backs. Barnes quipped, "It would help if we could use 15 men."

Mautino was one of five Syracusans picked for the first team while Pitt and Penn State placed two, and Army, Penn and little Trinity (Conn) college one each. The Trinity player is center Ro ger Leclerc whose defensive and kicking talents made him his team's second highest scorer with 27 points.
