Giant-Card Clash May Hinge
On Thefts and Lynch's Status
By the Aeaodated Preu
A column of obscure statis
tics and a brief note in the
casualty reports could make
the difference in the Eastern
Division race in the National
Football League this season.
The statistical column in
question is headed "Int.,”
which stands for interceptions.
The casualty report concerns a
Giant defensive back, Dick
Lynch, and that also means in
terceptions.
The game involved is the j
visit of onrushing St. Louis to
New York, one of two key
clashes today. The Giants are
the Eastern leaders. The other
sends the Western leader, Chi
cago, to Pittsburgh, which is
still very much in the Eastern
running.
Victories by Chicago and
New York could almost clinch
the division titles for them.
Losses could snarl both races.
(Other NFL games include
Dallas (3-7) at Cleveland.
(7-8). San Francisco (2-8) vs.
Green Bay (8-2) at Milwaukee,
Baltimore (5-5) at Los Angeles
(3-7) Detroit (4-6) at Minne
sota (3-7) and Washington
(2-8) at Philadelphia (2-7-1).
Play Key Fart
Interceptions played a key
part in New York’s 38-21 vic
tory at St. Louis November 3
and could do it again today.
The Giants, at 8-2, have a full
game lead over St. Louis and
Cleveland, each 7-2. A victory
wduld give the Giants a two
game lead over the Cardinals
with only three games to go. A
Giant loss could result in a
four-team tangle.
The Giants picked off four
passes In their first victory

Louis sore points this season.
The Cardinal quarterback,
Charlie Johnson, has thrown 20
touchdown passes, but also has
allowed the same number of
Interceptions, tops in the
league.
And Lynch, ace New York
. pass defender who has lnter
i cepted six this season, is on the
doubtful list. He suffered a
. mild concussion in last week’s
fifth straight Giant victory.
Fullback Alex Webster also is
doubtful.
Tittle Ready
However, the Giants’ big of
fensive gun, Quarterback Y. A.
Tittle, is primed and ready.
The old pro leads the league in
touchdown passes (27), com
pletion percentage (61.2) and
1 fewest interceptions (4).
Chicago (9-1) must fight the
possibility of a letdown after
last week’s 26-7 triumph over

' alone atop the West. Another

Rick Casares, who suffered
ankle and knee injuries in the'
victory over the Packers.
The Steelers (6-3-1) are ogly
IVi games out in the East, but
must keep winning to stay
alive. Ed Brown, whd quarter-’
backed Chicago to its last divi
sion title—in 1956—guides the
potent Steeler running game.
Both teams have solid defenses
against the running game.
The Steelers are the last
team with a winning record re- j
malnlng on the Chicago sche
dule, and a victory would give
the Bears the whip hand in the
conference race.
Tied For Second
The Browns have lost three
. of their last four but still hold
, a share of second in the East,
i They’re heavily favored to
; right themselves against Dal
! las, and Fullback Jim Brown’s
! expected to break his own sin
gle-season rushing record. Jim
; needs only 81 yards to top the
. mark of 1,527 he set in 1958.
• He had a season high of 232 in
i the Browns’ 41-24 lacing of the
i Cowboys earlier in the season.
Bart Starr, the Packers’ No. I
i 1 quarterback, is expected to
make his first start in five
weeks against the hapless
49ers. Starr suffered a fracture
in his passing hand five weeks
, ago, but threw well in practice
, last week.
i Los Angeles and Baltimore
have shown improvement in
I recent weeks, the Rams win
ning three of five largely due
» to the passing of Roman Ga
■ briel. Johnny Unitas threw for
four touchdowns last week as
Baltimore evened its season re

By CARL 8 ELL
Stu Staff Writer
Four powerful running backs
who combined for a whopping
3,590 yards rushing this season
and a mobile line which in
cludes the area’s top two line
backers feature The Star's 1963
All-Metropolitan scholastic
football first team.
DeMatha, the area’s top
ranked schoolboy team, and
McLean, currently on top of
the tough Northern Virginia
Group 1-A League, each
grabbed two spots on the first
eleven.
Fullback Brendan McCarthy
and Halfback Garrett Ford re
present DeMatha, while
McLean placed Halfback Steve
Luxford and End Bill Dow.
Poole Lone Junior
Joining McCarthy, Ford and
Luxford in the first-team back
field is Mike Poole, Lee’s hard
running fullback who led the
Group 1-A League in scoring
with 115 points. Poole is the
only Junior on the first eleven.
Named at end with Dow was
Bam Dews of Eastern, noted
for his pass-catching and de
fensive work as a safetyman.
The tackle positions are
manned by John DeVries of
Richard Montgomery and Bob
Lasky of Bladensburg. Walter
Johnson's Bret Hart, who also
played defensive tackle, won the
! center position.
Cordell Gill of Roosevelt and
I Terry Killgore of Annandale
are the guards, although both
were better known for their
performances as linebackers.
The pair was praised by all op
posing coaches and college
scouts who saw them play this
year.
Workhorse Back
Luxford is the workhorse of
the first-team backfleld. The
196-pounder carried the ball
230 times for 1,169 yards and
completed 40 of 97 passes for
613 yards. He also punted for a

Vols Blank Kentucky
LEXINGTON. Ky., Nov. 23
(AP).—Tennessee used a
strong running attack, which
set up three touchdown passes,
to defeat Kentucky, 19-0, in a
Southeastern Conference foot
i ball game today.
Hard running by Mall on
Faircloth, Hal Wantland, Stan
Mitchell and Pat Caainl set up
the touchdowns. Wantland
passed four yards to Bob Pe
trella for the Vols’ first score,
in the opening period, and
tossed 17 yards to Billy Tom
linson for the third touch
down. Faircloth passed 26 yards
to Buddy Fisher for the second
j Vol score.
The heavier Tennessee line
opened gaping holes for the
Vol backs, running from the
single wing. Tennessee kept to
its ground attack until it
moved close to the Kentucky
goal, then opened the Ken
tucky defense with passes.

an almost impregnable defense.
The Highlanders allowed only
27 points in 10 games. McLean
shut out seven of its opponents,
including Poole and Lee, 6-0, in
its toughest test of the year.
Dow blocked a punt to set up
the only touchdownin that

Richard Montgomery fin
ished its season with five
straight shutouts to win the
Montgomery County title. De-
Vries was the Rockets' bulwark
on defense during the season
and helped his team hold the
opposition to only 25 points.
Lasky was mentioned as a
standout defensive player by
every coach in the Prince
Georges League. The Blades
lost by only two points to Du-
Val (2-0), the Prince Georges’
champion, in the final game of
the season.
Hart, a 6-foot-1, 195 poun

center for Walter Johnson and
then moved to tackle on de

Two ‘Monsters’
Gill and Killgore were “mon
sters” on defense, lining up in
different spots on each play in
an effort to spoil offensive
blocking assignments. Both
were defensive captains and
