TULSA j.
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Tulsa University today Is head
10 toward its Oklahoma home

247 victory over the George
Washington footballerS at the
Griffith Stadium last night before
II 900 spectators.
The invaders displayed a supe
rior brand Of football, were more
alert and offered a greater variety
of running and passing plays
Their unorthodox formations
especially when they deployeC
the ends to the foul lines, com
pletely annoyed the Colonials.
One of these unusual plays, al
least for Eastern football, re
suited in Tulsa's third touch
down. Tulsa had gained the ball
inside its own 10-yard zone ir
the second period after repulsine
a G. w. drive.
A line play netted little
ground while q flat pass to the
left side was aimIesS. Captain
"Ish" PilkingtOn, who did all
the punting and passing for
the visitors faxed a punt.
TuIsa's right end and Billy
Boehm, wing back, played
wide, almost to the foul line.
The George Washington de
fense expected a punt and failed
to cover the two Tulsa players
Pilkington snapped 15-yard
pass to Boeham and he galloped
IS yards to score. He was given
excellent interference by Green
and Lentz, other Tulsa halfbackS.
Outdistances FeIlIOn
After snagglng the oval, Boehm
headed straight down the right
side of the field, cut over to his
left and outdistanced Johnny Fen
lon, G. U. safety man, in a race
to the last white mark.
It was such plays as these that
characterized the style of these
Westerners. They took wild
chances, some Of which worked
and some Of which failed.
When Tulsa left the field g
the end Of the first half lea
ing by an $50 margin,
= seemed that tl19 OIEIahOmai
would win by h commanding
total.
They clicked off three touch
downs, the first coming at a time
when the onlookers had hardly
seated themselves. It was a we'll
planned play, one that caught the
George Washington boys flat
footed and one that was the de-
ciSive punch from which the local
players failed to recover.
Play Nets Touchdown
It was an on-side kick on the
opening kickoff, Potts, Tulsa end,
recovering on the G. w. 3O-yard
line. With Pilkington punching
the line, the invaders pushed over
a touchdown. Pilkington scoring
from the 2-yard mark.
Taking the ball on their own
20-yard line as the result of a
punt, Tulsa, using straight foot
ball with Pilkington smashing the
line and Boehm Skirting the
flankS, advanced to the G. w.
3O-yard stripe as the quarter
closed.
The change Of sides failed to
check the Tulsa parade and
BOehm circled end from the 12-
yard line.
g. w. put on a squirt all its own
before the half closed, reaching
TulSa's seven-yard stripe where
they were halted. Fenlon and Car
ter reeled off short gains in this
drive which began on the G. w.
31-yard mark. G.. WIS last ges-
ture was an 18-yard pass, Eenlon
to Chambers, which found the
boys seven yards short of a score.
Tulsa Line Holds
Shortly after the third quarter
began, George washington was in
a scoring position when Kriemel-
meyers punt trickled through
Keeling's legs and Nelson fell upon
the oval on Tulsa's five-yard
stripe. Four thruSts at the Tulsa
front were futile, and the west
ernerS took the ball on downs.
"A moment later, Tulsa marked
up its fourth and final touch
down. Pilkington flung a 3O-yard
pass to Halfback Green, planting
the ball on the G. w. 2O-yard
line. Two more plays gained
six yards and then Keeling cut
inside tackle to score.
George Washington saved itself
a shut-out when Parrish, full
back, seized a Tulsa pass on his
10-yard line and raced IS yards
before he was dragged down
from behind on Tulsa's 15-yard
tape. Fenlon then heaved a pass
to Wayne Chambers. end, who
fought his way over the line.
Jones added the extra point on a
kick.
