Hornung Leads Irish
Jo 17-0 Win Over SMU
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 24 i/PI
—Quarterback Paul Hornung, a
rugged junior from Louisville,
Ky., ably stepped into All-Amer-
ica Ralph Guglielmi's shoes today
by leading Notre Dame to a bruis-
ing 17-0 opening victory over
Southern Methodist.
Running like a fullback and call-
ing signals like a veteran, the 205-
pound Hornung scored the first
^rish touchdown, kicked a 38-yard
™eld goal for a 10-0 halftimc lead
and then kept stubborn SMU on
the ropes in the second half.
Maryland Conquers
Top-Ranked UCLA
hi Rugged Battle
COLLIDE PARK, Md., Sept. 24
Iff)—Halfback Ed Vereb's 17-yard
scoring run on a fourth-down pitch-
out play at the outset of the sec-
ond half was the only break in a
terrific defensive battle won 7-0 to-
day by Maryland over UCLA, the
nation's top-ranked college football
team.
Vereb's dash around right end
on one of the rare pitchouts pulled
by quarterback Frank Tamburello
topped off a 72-yard drive which
was started by Maryland with the
second-half kickoff on a muddy
Turf before 46,000 hot fans.
It was the first time that Mary-
land got moving as Ro.inie Knox,
UCLA's great tailback, kickcd and
passed them to the wall through
all of the first half and a lot of
the second.
The Terrapins, going into the
game ranked fifth, made one other
foray to the UCLA 5 after inter-
opting a pass in the last three
*®inutes.
A fierce Maryland defense led
by center Bob Pellegrini let UCLA.
12-7 conqueror of the Terrapins
last year, move goalward only
only to fumble and Pellegrini re-
covered.
UCLA 0 0 0 0—0
Maryland 0 0 7 0—7
Maryland scoring—Touchdowns:
Vereb < 17. runt. Conversion:

The breaks went entirely against
the Mustangs from Dallas in this
game which was televised through-
out the Middle West as they fum-
bled and hud passes intercepted
when it could have turned the ball
game.
But, by and large, it was the
same old Notre Dame, chewing up
yardage, blocking and tackling vi-
ciously and ball-hawking all over
the field.
The clinching score, Notre
Dame's second touchdown, came
late in the third period on a bench-
inspired play. Halfback Paul Reyn-
olds, a speedy veteran, raced onto
the field to replace Sherrill Sipes,
with fourth down on SMU's 14.
Reynolds swept around SMU's
right side on a delayed handoff
from Ilornung and raced unmo-
lested to score.
The crudest break of all to SMU
came in the fourth period when
halfback John Marshall fumbled,
for the third time, and Notre
Dame recovered on the Irish four.

Georgia Nips
Vandy, 14-13
ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 24 (/PI—Dick
Young, a senior who has spent
most of his football career on the
bench, took charge of a lifeless
bunch of Georgia Bulldogs today
and drove them to two fourth-pe-
riod touchdowns and a 14-13 vic-
tory over Vanderbilt.
Until Young took command.
Georgia had shown nothing on of-
fense and was trailing the under-
dog Commodores 13-0. But Young
provided the needed inspiration
with his aerial artistry. Vandy's
dog-weary defense just couldn't
stop the relentless Georgia aa-
j vances.
Vandy had all the best of it until
| late in the third quarter, when the
I first-stringers began to tire. The
i Commodores' Tommy Woodroof
tried a 45-yard field goal on the
final play, but it was short.
Maroons Topple
Tennessee, 13-7
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 24 l/Pl
—Mississippi State, cleverly han-
1 died by quarterback Jim Stanton,
I rolled to two early touchdowns to-
| day and hung on to defeat Ten-
nessee, 13-7, in a Southeastern Con-
ference football game in a steady
rain.
Stanton, playing the entire
game, maneuvered Mississippi
State 55 yards for a score the sec-
l ond time the Maroons got posses-
[ sion of the ball. Halfback Art Da-
vis plunged from the one to cap
the drive. Bill Morgan converted.
Early in the second period, Stan-
ton got State's split-T offense roll-
ing again and in nine plays netted
55 yards with halfback Jim Har-
ness diving over. Harness' kick
tor the extra point was blocked by
| end Keith Drummond. Two fine
runs by Davis, one for 10 yards
and the second for 19, had put the
' ball in scoring position.

LUBBOCK, Sept. 24 (fl—Texas :
Christian's boiling Horned Frogs
i turned loose a thunderous ground
attack in which Jim Swink and
Vernon Ilalleck tore huge chunks
of daylights in a rain soaked Texas
' Tech line for a 32-0 victory today.
It was the most crushing defeat
ever administered by TCU on its
long-time football rival and the
way the Frogs Gid it was to ab-
solutely humiliate the Raiders.
Texas Tech made only three first
downs and netted just 12 yards
while the Frogs romped and passed
| to 430 yards and 26 first downs.
] The Raiders, who beat Texas 20-14
last week, got past midfield only
once.
Swink, who was a sensation as
! TCU opened the season with a 47-
14 victory over Kansas last Satur-
: day, was even more devastating 1
today. He ran for 134 yards and
' scored three touchdowns, one on a
j brilliant 59-yard dash.
Hallbeck, the big Frog fullback,
shattered the Tech line for 79
yards and substitute Jimmy Shof-
ncr picked up 61 in blazing blasts.
A drizzling rain, which set in
midway of the first period, turned
into a downpour in the last quarter
and the teams finished without the
fans being able to read the num-
bers. Rain was the only thing
I that came close to slowing the
i Frogs. TCU ground out 185 yards
• in the last half and made its fifth
touchdown.
It was the thirteenth meeting be-
tween the teams in the past 29
years and the previous record tri-
j umph by TCU was 26-0 in 1930.
Texas Christian showed probably
its finest blocking team in history
and its defense compared with the
| great Frog eleven of 1938 that was
national champion. TCU got most
of the breaks but made some of
them through its brutish blocking
and tackling. Some telling penal-
lies aga^st Tech helped the Frogs
lo their first two touchdowns.
The Frogs hammered goalward
| virtually all the first period. Final-
ly scoring on a 64-yard drive with
Swink, Hallbeck and Ray Taylor
doing the carrying. A roughing
penalty put the ball on the Tech
one and TCU although backed up
by an offside penalty, got the score
in plunges by Hallbeck and Swink
TCU counted again early in the
second period after recovering a
fumble on the Tech 32. Swink got
the touchdown with a 1 - yard
plunge.
The third touchdown was on
Swink's 50-yard run around right
end and the fourth, just before the
second period ended, was on an
intercepted pass. Taylor gathered
in a Jack Kirkpatriek throw and
scatted 12 for the score. Harold
Pollard kicked one point after
; touchdown and Swink another.
The final Texas Christian touch
! down came in the fourth period
Army Crushes
Fu?man, 81-0
WEST POINT, N. Y.. Sept. 24 .-Pi
—Army opened its 1955 football
campaign by crushing Furman
81-0 today in a game highlighted
by the first appearance of Don
Holleder at quarterback for the
Cadets.
The star end of last year han-
dled the big Army team in smooth
style despite the drizzling rain,
and in the second quarter, with
Army on Furman's 39, faded back
to his 50, and threw a perfect pass
to Art Johnson over the goal line.
The longest scoring play, how-
ever, was made by Pete Lash who
ran 73 yards in the third period.
Fumbles were frequent on both
sides, but the advantage was with
Army. Furman, although a half-
dozen of its players were carried
off the field with injuries, kept up
a persistent passing attack and in
the third quarter reached Army's
eight only to lose the ball on
downs.
and was on a 51-yard surge. A 22-
yard dash by Swink kept the Frogs
swinging and from the two Pollard
plowed right tackle for the score.
Leading ground-gainer in the fu-
tile Tech offense was Don Schmidt
who netted 17 yards in 7 carries.
Schmidt ran for 125 yards against
Texas
Tech did much better in the
second half although still couldn't
make a first down and wound up
minus 22 yards on offense in the
first half
A crowd of 27,000 sat through
the rain-spattered game.
Hallbeck didn't play the final
period. He was injured and taken
to a hospital. The extent of his in-
juries were not immediately de-
termined.

Leo Durocher Quits
As Giants Manager;
Replaced By Rigney
NEW YORK, Sept. 24 IJfi — Leo
Durocher quit baseball today to go
into private business and was im-
mediately replaced as manager of
the New York Giants by Bill
Rigney.
The double announcement was
made by Horace Stoneham. owner
of the Giants, who said he accepted
Durochtr's resignation with "deep
personal regret," but was glad to
have had a suitable replacement
in Rigney, currently piloting the
Minneapolis Millers in the Ameri-
can Assn.
"Leo Durocher has been a fine
manager for the New York
Giants," Stoneham said, "and he
has done some of his best work
during the previous season, when
injuries and some playing failures
imposed many handicaps."
The retirement of the explosive
manager after 17 years as a major
league pilot, the last seven and a
half with the Giants, came as no
surprise to followers of the Giants.
As far back as last May, he con-
fided to several close friends he
planned to quit after this season.
Last June 23, amidst rumors that
Durocher was to be fired, the As-
sociated Press wrote that Leo was
sure to finish out the season but
intimated he would not be back in
1956.
"My decision to retire is not a
last minute one," Durocher ex-
plained to reporters summoned to
the Polo Grounds for a press con-
ference. "I have been thinking
about it for a long time, going
back to last year. I might have
quit last year but I already had
given my word to Mr. Stoneham
that I'd be back.
"No, the performance of the
team had nothing whatsoever to do
with my retirement." Leo said, "I
would have left even if the Giants
had won the pennant."
