For Champ Spot
WILLIAMSBURG, Va Nov. 7
UP) Swashbuckling In its style
of play but sound, in tactics, the
William und Mury line has been
the key factor in putting the
undefeated Indians In the fore
front of the southern confer
ence '.footbull campaign and
fourth In the nation on defense.
The hurd charging, ball
huwklng, blocking demons along
tho W. ond M. lorewall are of
a type similar to the Iron Dukes
who went into the .Rose bowl
in 1U3B unscored upon and the
same coach, Carl Voyles, had a
hand in both. Voyles. an arch
fundamentalist who former),
coached linemen at Duke, has
been aiming at nothing short of
line perfection since ho came
here as head coach four years
ago, and tributes of opposing
coaches and scouts this year are
evidence that he has arrived
somewhere in tho neighborhood
of that goal.
. Playing a tough schedule for
a small college which has only
about 500 men eligible for var
sity football, W. and M. has
whipped Navy and Dartmouth
and tied Harvard.. So airtight
has been the Indian line play
that opponents have averaged
53.3 yards rushing in six gomes.
Whllo clearing the way for W.
ond M. runners . to score 154
points, the defense has limited
Indian foes to a total, of 28
points.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (AP)
Most major league observers
conceded to 'Johnny Pesky,
shortstop ' of the Boston Red
Sox, the honor of "rookie of the
year" today as result of his
ranking as third most valuable
player of the American league.
Pesky, 23-year-old Portland,
Ore., rookie, was topped only
by Joe Gordon of the Yankees
and Ted Williams of the Red
Sox in the junior circuit's most
valuable, voting. :
Pesky, in his first major lea
gue season, led - in' total hits
with 205, - finished second to
Williams in batting - with - .331.
His spectacular and steady play
enabled Manager Joe Cronin to
retire to bench managing. -
Too Pesky won a reputation
for hustling and was conceded
to have made the Red Sox in
field tighter than it had been
for years. With the Portlander
at shortstop Boston completed
158. double plays, finished third
in the league, in contrast to 139
