    Holy Cross Whips Brown, al 10 Il WORCESTER, MASS, Oct. 7. Chuck Maloy, a cool 18-year -old Sophomore quarterback, tossed four touchdown passes and directed his team to two more today as Holy Cross whipped Brown, 41–⁠21. Most of the 10000 crowd, great est since the 1946 opener, whooped in glee as the winning Crusaders scored the first time they handled the ball. That six pointer was on a Maloy to Johnny Turcoo pass which covered SO yards. Maloy. a Rochester, N. Y. youngster, then prodded the Cru saders to three more touchdowns in the second period and one in each of the last two quarters. The best Brown could do was score once in the second and add two more against the Holy Cross reserves in the final quarter. Holy Cross. which pulled a surprise last week in playing Dart mouth to a 2l-21 tie. outgained Brown 202 yards to 1870 in rushing and 253 yards to 10 on forwards.
