Y unexpectedly fast and heavy
~ line yesterday in their sea-
sons inaugural with the Man
haitian College eleven, the fracas re-
sulting in 27-to-7 victory for the New
Workers, scored before record crowd
of Colonial supporters In the Wilson
Memorial Stadium at Central High,
Utilizing an unusual line combina-
ton and working with clock-like pre-
cision in their offensive play. the
emerald jerSeyed visitors flashed
spirited attack from the first whistle
which left the Buff and Blue gasping
in their efforts to check the swift ad-
vance down the field that Melted the
opposing huSkies two quick touchdowns
before the quarter ended. Burke, Man
haitian fullback, carried the ball across
for the first score, Dargin kicking goal
The latter toted the pigskin for the
second touchdown shortly before the
period closed and booted the point after
touchdown to put Manhattan in the
lead, IA to 0.
Manhattan Scores Again.
Early in the second period, continue
ing their attack through the center and
around left end, with occasional snappy
passes over the line, Manhattan scored
for the third time, Burke again car
rying the ball. which had been brought
to the 20-yard line by the concerted
action of Burke, O'Bride and Dargin
who formed a pretty backfield offensive
that was hard to handle. No goal was
kicked.
Coach Pixlee, the new Colonial driller,
called out some hardy reserves in an
effort to fill in the defense gaps at this
point, with fair success.
During the remaining eight minutes
of the first half and throughout the
third quarter the Colonials checked the
progress of the invaders, but were I'M
able to capitalize on their own oppor-
tunities to gain ground. due to their
own woefully weak aerial attack and
the strong line resistance offered by
Manhattan when thrown on the de-
fensive. At the opening Of the final
quarter the score still stood 200.
George Washington Scores.
In the final session the fireworks be-
gan. AS much action was crammed
into that last Is minutes as had been
spread over the rest of the game.
Manhattan bucked the line in vain for
four downs. then opened up for long
forward pass-they'd completed several
of this sort for substantial gains In
the preceding quarter. But McGreW,
G. w. end, intercepted the ball and
got off for 25-yard run before he
was downed. G. W., heartened by
this break, completed a pass for first
down, Clement to McGrew. Manhat-
tan was penalized for holding the re-
ceiver of this pass and the ball was
placed on G. WIS 1-yard line. Hoff-
man showed it over and Clement booted
the extra tally.
After the kickoff, Manhattan began
another charge down the field, aided
by magnificent 40-yard pass straight
over center, tossed by Mcbride. G. WIS
line held here and the Colonials kicked
back to midfield. Then Mcbride
got loose for a 6O-yard run, with the
whole Colonial squad at his heels. He
crossed the line to add another 6 to
Manhattan's side of the ledger. OAR
gin kicked another goal. Another ex-
change Of punts and it was all over.
