-FFRIDAY. OCTOBER 7.1955 Virginia's Fullback, Linebacker A Father's Advice May Aid Virginia IT NOT WILLIMIS The words of a reassuring father who "straightened his son out" some four years. ago and some 1000 miles .away. in Arabia, could have a bearing 'on tomorrow's Penn State-Virginia football game at Richmond, Va. 4. all started' in 19 . 51 when Jim . Bakhtiar, the Cavalier's husky fullback, left . the United Stites for an office job with his father in Arahla in • an. Anglo-Ameriean Oil Company. Bakhtiar, who had become despondent with the long road of 'readjustment' ahead of him, left after a five-year stay in the U.S. "That's when my father straightened me out," Bakhtiar said. In 1951 he returned and en rolled' at Western High school, and played ball there in '5l and '52. In '53 he enrolled at Bullis Prep School, Washington D.C., where he was spotted as an out standing defensive prospect for college football. From there his future at Vir ginia University began to jell. For Virginia's 1954 fresh squad, he averaged 150 yards a game. In the annual spring-practice alumni football game this year he picked up six yatds per car ry against opposition including the Philadelphia Eagle's Tom Scott, and Bob Miller of the Detroit Lions. As for tomorrow, much of Vir ginia's hopes of springing an up set on Penn State and maintain ing its undefeated record in Rich mond Tobacco Festival games rest on improving the defense. And with Bakhtiar, a husky fullback who weighs in at 205, backing up a line that averages 213, Virginia should be able to field an improved defense. Thus far it has left opposing runners slip through for 33 points . ....„,.....-,, Be Casual, .Correct --, Comfortable in a ~, . . MARLBORO ..,...., .

George Washing ton 'whitewashed Virginia, 13-0, Saturday in a surprise win, and Clemson rolled up a 20-7 win the week before. Against GW's backs, however, the Cavaliers held the fast Col onials to only 63 yards for a 1.3 average. In the opener Virginia's record for rushing defense was 3.6. What the Cavaliers can do in line play was depicted in the GW game Saturday. Here's how it went: Herb Hartwell, Vir ginia, broke away on a nice run, but GW. guard Ray Mur ray stole the ball and ran it to the Cavalier's ten. A pass interference penalty against Virginia placed the ball on its one-yard line. From there it took GW three plays to go over for the score. Had it not been for the pen alty. GW might never have got ten inside the five. With Bakhtiar 'backing up the line, guards John Polzer, 210, senior captain, and Jay Corson, 198; Harold Outten and Jim Ele kes—both over 200—at tackles; and two 200-pound ends handling the defensive line, Virginia has the power, weight, experience, and depth for what should be a powerful defense. Thus far it's allowed 33 points; tomorrow it may cause trouble. MEN'S SHOP Opposite Old Main THE, DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

The game will begin at 2 p.m. The last time the two played was in 1950 and tomorrow's visi tors took that one by narrow mar gin of 1-0. It was the only defeat handed to the Lion booters that season. The year before, 1949, the Nit tanies had shutout West Chester, 6-0, and it was sweet revenge the next year when the Rams de feated the Lions. But, it didn't stop the Lions from receiving a' bid to the soccer .bowl to play Purdue, a game which they won. West Chester soccer Coach Earl Waters has compiled•an ' unprece dented soccer record 'in the two, decades he's been coaching there.' In those 20 years Waters has not had a losing season and at one time his team had a five-, year winning streak, which still stands as' a record at West Ches ter. Last yesir o . Water's charges swept by eight teams, while - los ing one and tying one. In compiling the eight wins, West Chester held, their oppon ents scoreless in seven games and I limited the remaining three teams to seven goals. On offense, the Ram booters scored 37 goals with their highest scare coming against Howard University, 7-0, in the season's opener.
