day scored it's first foot ball vic
tory since November, 1928, wher
1t left the field here with a 9-t
victory over the Delaware College
eleven, delighting some 100 fol-
lowers who had journeyed from
Washington.
The game was battle all the way
and in the second half, a rally by
Delaware had the Buff and Blue team
in tremors, after 1t had amassed an
apparently safe 90 lead. But after
seeing their foes score touchdown the
Colonials braced, and while not stopping
all the gains of the Delaware lads,
stopped them at the vital moments
when gains meant points.
Kriemelmeyer Is Star.
lots" Kriemelmeyer, erstwhile Tech
High School star of Washington, was
the outstanding performer on the
Colonial eleven, the only Capital City
lad at all times showing the way to his
rlates. 1t was his ground gaining
tactics and punting that gave his team
reason to rejoice, and the fact that he
scored the Colonials only touchdown
gives him some substantial reward to
show for his labors.
He was materially aided by Billy
Wells, quarterback; Lee Carlin and Joe
Carter, however, all Of whom played an
important part in the Colonials we'll
earned victory.
For half of the game, it looked as If
George Washington might have to 60
home with victory gained by the mar
rowest of margins-a safety-when 1t
failed to continue its drives in the
shadows of the Delaware goal. Carlin
brought Colonial supporters to their feet
on the opening kickoff OF the day,
when he ran 65 yards to Delaware's 30
to the 10-yard line, George Washington
lost the ball.
Hahn's Kicks Failed.
Here, the inability of the Delaware
punter, Hahn, to capably fulfill his Job
left his team in dire straits. Three times
he failed to get on his boot before the
Colonial tacklers broke through, but
each time he succeeded In recovering
his kick. On the fourth attempt, how
ever, Galloway broke through and
George Washington its first points.
George Washington failed to score
again during the first half, however,
but starting the last two quarters,
opened UP with all 1t had and coasted
to touchdown before the third period
was very old. Taking the ball In mid
field, Kriemelmeyer elaborated with
Wells in rushing the ball to the 5-yard
line from where the former plunged
over for the first touchdown of the
day. He completed his job with neat
placement kick.
But Delaware soon showed that it
was not yet to be counted out of the
running and started a drive which
brought its own stands to their feet and
had Colonial supporters quaking. With
going through center for Is yards and
White recovered. The same player then
tossed a pass to Pulling which was
good for 10 yards and then duplicated
with a 2o-yard heave to White. who
ran 10 more yards across the Colonial
goal. White failed to add the point.
Delaware Fails to Pass.
For the remainder of the game, each
team used tactics calculated to benefit
1t the most, Delaware attempting vain
passing attack and George Washington
not risking sending its balls through
the air. Delaware once carried the ball
to George Washington's 20-yard line,
but failed TO make first down.
lobe" O'Brien, giant 240-pound tackle
of George Washington, was named cAp-
tain Of his team just before the con-
test started and responded with q nice
defense game.
