Coach Os Week
Says His Team
Ready For Tech

Poole. Charley Conerlv. Jimmy Lear
He’s a very friendlv fellow vet
h» beat on» of his ben buddies
He doesn’t believe in prediction*
yet he said his team was ready
for its touehest name in vears
That’s Johnnv Vaught. the 4?
year-old sage of Mississinpi. H’ ''
the United Press Coach of the
Week. His “Ole Miss Rebels’’ soan
ped mighty Maryland's i ndefeat •
ed string at 22 games, and did
it the hard way—by coming from
behind with two touchdowns in th~
le-t D“>-iod.
Vaught insists “there have bee
greater upsets” than the 21-14 tri
timph his team scored on home
ground last Saturday. For exam
ple, his own team—not undefeated
then, as it was this year—beat
Svtpr Bowl champion Kentucky
last year.
About Maryland. Vaught rays
simply. “We decided the Mondsv
before the game we were going to
beat them and we went to work
to do it.”
How? The team used several new
plays which spaced linemen to con
fuse the Maryland defense. The
Mississippi defense wasn’t chanced,
but it was carefully coached after
Ole Miss scouts watched Maryland
in four games and then exchanged
movies.
Vaught has one main theory
about football—and that is “don’t
have any main theory about foot
ball.”
His team didn’t point for Mary
land all season long, as often is
the case of major upsets. Although
unbeaten, the team was twice tied
this year and couldn’t afford to
overlook any game.
Vaught once served as an assis
tant coach at North Carolina side

Mississippi now is in the Sugar

West Virginia
Big-Time School
Football Probed
By 808 McKOWEN
(United Press Sports Writer)
CHARLESTON. W. Va. (U»
A move was underway in West
Virginia today to stamp out an
overemphasis in high school foot
ball that has so far resulted in
i suspensions tq five schools and
| penalties to three others.
In few other states is the sports
situation similar to that of West
1 Virginia, where there is only one
j university, a handful of small col
leges and no professional sports
to speak of.
The sports-starved fans turn to
I high school athletics, particularly
football. So the coaches either
: produce or pack a traveling bag.
it is not unusual to see as many
!as 10.000 fans attend a regular
season game. In comparison, West
, Virginia University drew only
i about 20,000 spectators to its
; homecoming game with George
! Washington even after upsetting
1 highly favored Pitt,
j To stamp out this trend tow'ard
j big-time football, the West Vir
j ginia High School Athletic Associ-
I ation has taken stern measures.
(It suspended the membership of
1 five teams, including the leading
I contenders for the state Class a
j and B championships, for violat
| ing Association rules,
j The latest suspension involved
Weir High of the steel city of
Weirton. Weirton is located in
West Virginia’s northern Pan
handle, a strip of land extending
between Ohio and Pennsylvania,
an area that has seen its share of
All-America players.
The school was accused of meet
ing Williamsport High in a pre
season practice game at its train
ing camp in Williamsport, Pa.
Such games are forbidden by the
Association.
The announcement of suspension
came near the end of the season
shortly after a heated incident
that occurred in a game between
Weir and Stonewall Jackson High
of Charleston, another of the
state’s football powers.
The game became so heated
that several players were sent to
the showers for slugging it out,
and the contest had to be halted
once while officials chased the
fans back into the bleachers. The
Stonewall Jackson bench wks
moved onto the field to keep spec
tators from hanging over a low
railing and pummeling the play
ers.
They only returned to their
scats when Weir Coach Stretch
Howell threatened to take his
team off the field and give the
| victory to Stonewall.
Sonewall, itself, was suspended
several seasons ago for practicing
' several weeks before the legal
practicing date.
Willie Pep
Favored Over
Falela Chavez
ST. LOUIS. Mo. 'IP I Willie
Pep, former featherweight cham
pion, today prepared to tackle the
next rung in his climb to the box
ing heights-a 10-round, nationally
televised fight with Fabela Chavez
at the Arena tonight.
The 30-year-old Hartford, Conn.,
Veteran was favored over Chavez
in spite of the fact that the Mexi
can holds a decision over Tommy
Collins, a surprise knockout vic-
Lor over Pep last summer.
Balancing this factor in Chavez’
favor was Pep’s knockout of
Charley Rilley of St. Louis. Chavez
lost to Riley.
Chavez, a 24-year-old journey
man .performer who fights out of
Los Angeles, could boost his stock
considerably with a decisive vic
tory over Pep. He has a straight
left-jab that boxing men consider
a potent weapon and is a strong,
willing scrapper.
Willie, however, has an even
greater incentive than his rival
to put this one in the win column.
It will be his 178th fight and he
will be shooting ior a revenge re
turn match with Collins and the
right to be first in line when
champion Sandy Saddler, now in
the Army, returns to his trade.
Pep has lost only five fights
and three of those defeats were
technical knockouts at the hands
of Saddler: He lost his initial
match and the championship to
the hard-hitting Negro, won the
crown back in a return match,
and lest his last two fights witn
him.
$200,000 Sum
Needed To Get
Dallas Franchise
DALLAS, Tex. (IP) A $200,000
obligation on the part of the
Dallas Texans to the National foot
ball League today blocked
what little chance there was of
the c'ub’s franchise coming back
to Dallas.
One of the Texans’ trustees,
John J. Coyle, said that six money
heavy oilmen had expressed in
terest in getting the franchise
back, but that they balked at pay
ing the $200,000 in addition to
$500,000 needed to guarantee op
eration of the team for three
years.
The franchise was turned back
to the league last week after the
team lost both games and money
consistently.
Bert Bell, commissioner of the
league,, told the oilmen, “There’s
no use coming up here if you
talk about wiping off that $200,000
obligation.” He made the i state
ment in Philadelphia.
Bell said even if the oilmen put
up the money there would have
been no guarantee that the fran
chise would have again been
granted to Dallas. He said the
money covered a rental lease at
$25,000 annually for an eight-year
period.
Coyle said he had told Bell his
backers were willing to pay SIOO,-
000 to get the franchise back and
also to put up the money to cover
