OCTPtK IMS Hra jj V- JwE fK ARMY'. 35 VIRGINIA 6 WIN, LOSE OR fiV DRAW By FRANCIS STANN Os This and That EVEN BEFORE THE front office took steps to prevent Gene Conley from picking up the thread of his pro basketball career with the Boston Celtics, the 6-foot-8 pitcher's chances were dim.

Lou Pieri, co-owner of the Celtics who was in town the other day to launch his Washington Presidents hockey team, confided that he was opposed to signing Conley, he wanted from pro basketball the first time was to force the Braves to give him more Pieri accused. General Manager George Weiss of the Yankees enjoys the reputation of a shrewd trader but the All-American League team picked last week by a wire service illustrated that Weiss can let some good talent get away, too. Four of the All-American Power, Bob Cerv, Sherm Lollar and Jackie ex-Yankees.

GEORGE PRESTON MARSHALL, who was defending Eddie when he remarked that Norm Van Brocklin had not quarterbacked a championship team, either, was In error. Playing almost the entire second half in place of Bob Waterfield in the Los Angeles-Cleveland playoff in 1951, Van Brocklin was on the throwing end of the 73-yard touchdown play to Tom Fears that upended the Browns, 24-17.

When and if Griffith cuts the present aide, it will be without the indorsement of Manager Cookie Lavagetto. Both Marshall Goldberg and Sid Luckman, college and later pro stars, have sons playing first-string on Chicago scholastic teams. Goldberg's youngster is a fullback and Luckman's a quarterback, just as their old men were. JUBT ABOUT 50 PER CENT of the Army Navy Country golfers, male and female, have shifted their allegiance to the 18-hole course at Fairfax. Retired admirals and generals who had not been precisely foothappy on rugged Army Navy terrain frankly put it this way: Fairfax we can play 18 holes.

Baltimore Artist Henry Cooper, who is commissioned to do the oil paintings of jockeys for the Hall of Fame at Pimlico, won't have a single new member to sit for him. All the latest McLaughlin, Snapper Garrison and Laverne dead and only a few contemporary photographs and some descriptive material are at the artist's disposal. NOW THERE IS GRAVE DOUBT as to whether Bob Reifsnyder, Navy's injured All-America tackle, ever will play serious football again. Just four days after the Detroit Lions publicity department called attention to Yale Lary's string of 139 pro punts with a block, it finally happened.

Promoters of the Capital Classic at Griffith Stadium November 1 claim that rival quarter- backs Clifton Jackson of North Carolina College aftd George Ingram of Shaw University are being scouted by National Football League teams.

Who were those 65.403 spectators last Sunday for a pro football gagne in Cleveland, ghosts? TEMPORARY WINNER Virginia End Smythe Wood (in light uniform) and Army Quarterback Joe Caldwell (12) dive for loose ball, with the Cavalier winning the argument on his own one-yard line in tne first quarter at West Point yesterday.

Yale Defeated by Cornell As Score Is Disallowed NEW HAVEN. Oct. 18 Tom Skypeck, veteran Cornell quarterback, pitched and ran the Big Red team to a 12-7 upset victory over Yale In an Ivy League game today before 28.816 fans at Yale Bovl. Cornell, scoring In the second and third periods, outplayed Yale most of the time. Yale, however, almost pulled it out In the final three seconds.

The Bulldogs were on the Cornell 9-yard line. Quarterback Art Lavellie called for a pass and connected with Matt Freeman in the end zone for what appeared to be the winning marker. However, Yale had an Ineligible receiver down field and the touchdown was disallowed. After a 15-yard: penalty. Lavallie threw again.

This time his pitch was incomplete. Cornell joins Princeton and Dartmouth at tha fpp of the Army Turns on Power To Crush Cavaliers Continued From Pate C-l in the aecond period. After End Johnny Oravlna recovered the first Army fumble, the Cavaliers marched 46 yards to the goal line. But they muster a second scoring punch, although they had two golden; opportunlUea in the final period. The lead-footed Virginia ball carriers gained only 39 yards against a big and fast West Point line featured by the work of Bob Novogratz, who earned the outstanding lineman award.

Despite the absence of Whitley, the Cavaliers were more Impressive in the air, accumulating 101 yards to 141 for Army. Dawkins, Walters Hurt Army fans, and Blalk, got a fright when Capt. Pete Dawkins bruised his hip In the seeond quarter and Fullback Harry Walters sprained an -ankle In the last half. But that was about the only uneasiness that even faintly bothered them this sunny afternoon of perfect football weather. The fumbles bothered Blalk, of course, but only one proved to be costly.

Long-gain plays helped the unbeaten Cadets break back, and at least two of them Quarterback Joe 6-yard touchdown rufi in the last from unscheduled plays. On his run, Caldwell was back to pass and find a receiver, with all 11 Virginians waiting for him to fire the ball. It was Caldwell's 39-yard dash on a similar play in the first quarter that planted the ball on 12-yard line, setting up 1- yard touchdown plunge. 60-yard pass to Bill Carpenter, the lonesome end, put the ball on. the 8-yard I line in the second quarter and I from there the same pair con-1 nected again for Army's second score.

Anderson Gains 124 It was passing to Carpenter for 18 yards and to Bob Anderson, whose 124 yards gained running won him the outstanding back award, thatn earned the winners' third score. Anderson took a pass for 16 yards, sneaked around for 12 and took another aerial for 10 to set up Steve Waldrop's six: yard touchdown run. Probably the best play from Army's viewpoint was 33-yard run from his own nineyard line that touched off the Scrubs Star As Princeton Raps Colgate PRINCETON, N. Oct. 18 Scott, a sophomore who never had started a varsity football game, and Ray Empson, a 150-pound fifthstringer, today took up the slack left by injuries and paced Princeton to an impressive, 40-13, victory over Colgate.

Another intercepted pass, this one grabbed by Waldrop, gave Army another chance in! the waning minutes, but Vir-j gtnia fought off this tnreat on Its 15-yard line. Voris Digs Deep Coach Dick Voris of Virginia, once Blatk's assistant, had to reach down deep for replacements for Whitley. He tried Arnold Dempsey, a sophomore, and Russell, a back he hoped to save for next year.

Russell Hits Randle Russell then fired the ball to Ulmo Randle on the far right side. Anderson was there and banged into Randle as he caught the ball, but the tall youngster from Fork Union bounced off the defending halfback apd fell back Into the end zone. Army, with Dawkins rambling for 38 yards, went all the way from its 16-yard line to four in the second quarter before Caldwell fumbled and Smythe Wood recovered for Virginia. A bit later it was Minor and Waldrop, fumbling a handottj on a punt, that gave the ball to Virginia, via Bob Canevari. But this led only to an unsuccessful 51-yard field goal try by Williams.
