The Washington times., 1930-10-17

carry major portion Of Athletic
Director Jim PiKlee's hopes when
George Washington's Colonial
eleven encounters South Dakota's
colorful Coyotes at Griffith
t,Iregoue intersectional contest
will be launched at 8:l5 O'CLOCK
Bagranoff, powerfully put up
chap, was, until recently, q de-
pendable lineman. Playing q
ruard position, he exhibited so
mich driving power that Pixlee,
In an experimental MOOD, shl1teo
him to fullback.
Immediately Bugs" clicked.
Ripping apart the Freshman
defense with his massive
shoulders and powerful frame
in scrimmage sessions, Bagra-
nOff landed himself the job.
Arthur Kriemelmeyer, VINO
had been functiOning at full
back, was sent to q han a.
the result of this move.
Much of Pixlee's attack during
the past several workouts mas
been centered around Bagrano1t.
And the latter, who likes his 1907,
bali in big doses. has accepted
eagerly every ball running op-
portunity accorded him.
Pixlee has planned q mixed
aerial and running attack for
tonight's game. But wnen some
good old-fashioned line plunging
or off tackle yardage Is needed
It's Bagranoff, the burly, who will
be handed the leather.
A tall, raw-boned and Inn
uressive collection of South
Dakota football players, rs
strong, wound up q three-day
pilgrimage at Union Station
early this smOrning. They Z,
were met by a special George
Washington reception com
mittee and escorted to their
hotel.
After sleeping off the effects OF
train weariness, the mid-western
lads were received by President
Herbert Hoover at the White
House today, 1890 o'clock. There
It was learned that the chief execu-
tive. will be unable to attend to-
nights game.
Following this fornslity the
South Dakotans were to hustle
through a light workout at Grif-
fifth Stadium. On-y q llmber1ng
I'D process will be necessary since
the visitors got In daily practices
ct stop-overS en- route here.
A quiet confidence charae-
teristic of westerners prevailed
among South Dakota's' football
representatives today.
No question about it, the
rangy interSectiOnai eleven
has pointed specifically for
:. this game. Boosting high
scoring combination, which
features a versatile Offense,
the Coyotes will thoroughly
. sound ont George Washing
tons defense.
Bill South, a real triple threat,
will pair off with CrakeS in a
passing attack while Kramer and
Adkins are to do much Of the
line plunging and general ball
carrying. +
Neither eleven will be sub
stantialIy Outweighed when
the opening whistle Is sound
ed tonight. The Coyotes,
however, have the taller
squadron and consequently
should emrlOy the aerial
game to advantage.
A splendid demonstration In
the form of a monster pep meet
ing at Corcoran Hall, last night
aroused the determination and
fighting spirit Of George Wash
ington's gridiron knights.
Noise-making was intermi2gled
with brief and well wordedA ad-
dresses from faculty and team
members. Coach Pixlee, getting
away from the usual bromide
slant, said:
"The boys have worked
hard. But they can't stand
on past performances. What
happens at Griffith Stadium
tomorrow night is up to
them. r...-
Personally / think we're
In for q, grand scrap. But
we've a mighty good team
and ! will be highly disap-
pointed II we don't make
good for the home town
folks" ~
Sophomore material will be
bearing the brunt of George
Washington's attack when play
gets aunder way tonight. The
same powerful freshman material
that moved its way to recogni-
tion a year ago will be matched
against South Dakota's giant
gridironers.
