Football's 2nd Week

THE EAST

Coach Earl Blaik, a longtime apostle of the simple T with standard variations, unveiled a new, explosive wing T featuring an unbalanced line and a lonesome end stationed some 15 yards away from his teammates in Michie Stadium. With Rookie Quarterback Joe Caldwell directing the show and employing All-America Halfback Bob Anderson as a passer (5 for 5 and two touchdowns), Army razzledazzled dazed South Carolina as Halfback Pete Dawkins (see below) romped for four touchdowns in a 45-8 victory.

Pitt, its interior line hitting hard while the ends shackled Holy Cross's talented Tom Greene, moved out in front on Ivan Toncic's short pass to Art Gob, added an 11-yard field goal by Norton Seaman and a 20-yard dash by Sophomore Chuck Reinhold to win 17-0.

Whitey Reimer, an unknown junior halfback who "was not good enough to play before," picked Syracuse up off the muddy turf in the second half, scored twice to help overhaul Boston College 24-14.

The Big Three had one of their most miserable opening days in many a year. Princeton was unable to contain Billy Austin, talented Rutgers halfback who had a hand in all four touchdowns, and lost 28-0, while Harvard found itself a 6-3 upset victim after Buffalo's hustling Nick Bottini blocked a punt and recovered in the end zone. Only Yale managed to escape and then by just the barest of margins as Herb Hallas' 79-yard sprint and Art LaVallie's two-point conversion edged Connecticut 8-6.

In other games, Navy showed little originality, confined its offense to straight bucks to beat William and Mary 14-0; Penn State bounced back to defeat Penn 43-0; Cornell scored over Colgate. The top three:

1. PITT (2-0)
2. ARMY (1-0)
3. SYRACUSE (1-0)

THE SOUTH

Wisconsin's big and hard-hitting inner line gave Quarterbacks Dale Hackbart and Sid Williams plenty of time to pick out their receivers while the lurking ends (see right) and cornerbacks smothered Miami Quarterback Fran Curci's bread-and-butter option plays to set the stage for a 20-0 Badger triumph in the broiling heat of the Orange Bowl. Wisconsin found Miami vulnerable to the middle-length pass in the first half and exploited the weakness fully before Hackbart twice sneaked across from the one-yard line.

Auburn, as big, fast and awesome as ever on defense, waited until the second half to warm up offensively in the NCAA's NBC-TV game at Birmingham. Gifted Quarterback Lloyd Nix teamed up with Halfback Tommy Lorino on a series of pitchouts, moved his backs inside and outside to beat Tennessee 13-0, leaving little doubt that the Tigers are well-prepared to defend their last-season AP ranking as the nation's best.
