Defense Factor In
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Dec. 23 UP
Kddle Erdelatz. coach of the
Sugar Bowl bound Navy eleven,
has shruggled off his worries to
all outward appearances and is
spending most of his Christmas va-
cation crouched in a Chesapeake
Bay duck blind.
But appearances can be deceiv-
* ing. With his 37 man squad on va-
cation, the coach of the first Navy
team to go to a bowl since 1924,
has one overwhelming problem on
his mind when the boys resume
heavy workouts.
Navy is faced with the .task of
• trying to outfox the strongest de-
fense in major college football.
The Middies fade in Mississippi on
New Year’s Day a team that has
held its opponents to an average
of 172.3 yards per game while pil-
ing up a 9-1 record.
The rebel line, led by tackle Rex
Boggan, averages more than 210
pounds. The Middle line is one of
the lightest in big time college foot-
ball.
Guard* Leonard Hcnz.1 and Alex
A rim In weigh only 183 and 184 re-
, speetively and the Tars’ sterling
end, Ron Beagle, tips the scale at
only 185.
The feeling at 'the academy is
that the Middies are going to have
to outsmart Ole Miss or be ground
down in a low-scoring battle be-
tween two split-T teams.
Navy has the equipment to do
it, as was demonstrated in the
spectacular final game victory
over Army at Philadelphia. Quar-
terback George Welsh is a depen-
dable, daring and accurate pass-
er. And Navy has in speedy half-
backs Bob Craig and Johnny Weav-
wer and power - driving fullback
Dick Guest a backfield that can
ramble. The team's leading ground
gainer, Joe Gattuso, is a second
stringer.
What the Middies admittedly
lack is power up the middle. But
they have the knack of using the
delayed buck and trap play well
enough to present a balanced of-
fense. And the Middies have been
known to catch opponents sleeping
with a snappy screen pass. Welsh
pulled that one on a heavy to Craig
for Navy's first toqghdown against
Army.
But despite Navy's impressive
record and equipment, Erdelatz is
anything but over-confident.
"Tessin spirit for Uiis game Is
very high," Erdelatz said, "but the
boys know they're facing a big,
rough and fa»t football team in
Mississippi.
Ole Miss gave up just 47 points
in 10 games and scored 283, the
same as Navy. Coach Johnny
Vaught has one of the fastest back-
fields in college ball operating be-
hind that huge line. Right halfback
Allen Muirhead has rut) the 100 in
9:7 and each man in the backfield
is reputed to be capable of doing
the century in close to 10 seconds.
But it is that big line that is Er-
delatz' chief worry. Commenting
on the sfze of the 235 pound Bog-
gan, Erdelatz said, "he w’asn't
born. He was trapped.”
The Navy squad will report to
headquarters at Tulane University
ip New Orleans on Dec. 26th and
begin practice immediately. Re-
ports from the Middie campus at
Annapolis indicate that both team
and school spirit have never been
higher for a football game, with
the possible exception of the an-
nual Army classic. But only about
400 membeifi of the 3600 man stu-
dent body will see the game. Guard
George Textor, with a sprained
back, is the only Middie not in
tip-top shape.

ATLANTA, Dec. 23— UP—Coach
Bobby Dodd, who directed Geor-
gia Tech tq its fourth consecutive
bowl bid this year, was reported
Thursday to be a candidate for
the head coaching vacancy of the
professional Los Angeles Rams.
But a Rams spokesman said no
one is being considered ‘'serious-
ly" at this time although "several”
coaches have been mentioned as
possibilities to succeed Hampton
Pool, who resigned along with his
entire staff.
The Atlanta Journal said comed-
ian Bob Hope, a major stockholder
in the Rams, told the newspaper
that Dodd ■‘is "one of three or four
men being discussed” for the post.
Dodd said that he did not intend
to leave Tech right now but "I
would lie willing to talk with the
Rams if they want me. I wouldn’t
turn down any job without even
considering it."
The highly successful Tech men-
tor said he planned to make a

Realization of professional base-

little closer Thursday with an addi-

ready-collected $1,600.
Added to the list of donors were:
Motor Inn Auto Supply, Overton
Clinic, Smith's Quality Shoe Store,
Sportsman Store. A. L. Weatherred,
and Grover Seitz.
Total contributions now stands at
$1,875 actually collected. However,
all committee workers have not re-
ported and all subscribers have not
turned in their donations.
An additional amount in the
neighborhood of $2,000 has been
pledged which leaves the goal of
$4,600 some $600 short provided
those subscriptions come in.
Deadline for having the money
together and in the hands of the
West Texas-New Mexico League of-
fice is Jan. 1. Deadline for all
workers to report their collections
has been set for next Wednesday,
Jan. 29.
This will give tile committee
time to get the deposits in tile
hands of the WT-NM and the Na-
tional Baseball Association.
Twenty-three hundred must be
deposited with the National and
$2300 With the WT-NM.
If the necessary funds are sub-

Football Oddity Of '54
By HI GH FULLERTON JIL
Tile Associated Press
The sports oddily of the year | credit
occurred on January 1, 1954, That's
an oddity in itself.
Usually the unusual happenings
of a New Year's Day are forgotten
or- buried under the mass of other
strange occurrences in sports. This
one still stands out in the minds
of the writers and broadcasters
participating in the Associated
Press year-end poll.
The scene was the Cotton Bowl
at Dallas, where a capacity crowd
watched Rice romp over Alabama.
Dicky Moegle, elusive Rice half-
back was running wild and appar-
ently there was no way Alabama
could stop his long runs.
from the goal line. The officials,
of course, gave Moegle and Rice*
for the full distance and
the touchdown and Lewis was al-
most overcome by chagrin as Rice
won the game, 28-6.
But the unpredictable public
didn't cast any blame on Lewis.
He was hailed as a "great com-
petitor". He was buried under
sympathetic letters and telegrams
and deluged with offers to appear
on radio and television shows and
to make banquet talks, People al-
most forgot about Moegle in con-
nection with the incident until
Dicky came back during the past
season to repeat his running feats
and earn All-America honors.
