us name is Kenneth BooZ
r. and he packs several va
/ fieties of wallop, but you
didn't pronounce his name
properly, on bet. It's "BoZe,"
please, and despite broken back
a cracked ankle and maybe that
moniker to discourage him on the
way up, we find Kenneth today
the foot ball idol of Butler Uni
verSity, which tomorrow night will
invade Griffith Stadium to play
George Washington.
Kenneth's name has flashed from
time to time in accounts of gridiron
| conflict in the Middle West (Butler is
situate at Indianapolis), but we're in
debted to coed of that fourishing
institution, a student of journalism, for
| the following closeup:
"BooZ isn't so tall, heavy or fashy
| as he is just good fighter and kicker.
Oh, he's not small at all, but then, he
isn't one of those gridiron giants who
tower SO menacingly above their awed
opponents. Booz had his back broken
in high school foot ball, but recovered
enough to come back for more punish
ment in freshman foot ball, where he
hurt his ankle and was compelled to
rest a year.
He couldn't resist the call of the
gridiron, guess, for his junior year he
came back to become the nucleus
around which the team has been built
ever since. You can't keep good man
down and any one who takes setbacks
like that must love foot ball and
good player who loves to play-well,
Booz Is dangerous man, George
Washington"
WE thankee for the information, miss,
Wv and so might George Washington,
but Postum Jim PiXlee, head man
of the ColonialS, and his first assistant,
Len Walsh, knew all about Kenny be-
fore your piece was indited. They
went all the way to Indianapolis last
week to see Buffers Bulldogs battle
Marquette and ever since they've been
scheming to prevent the fiercst Bulldog
from breaking loose tomorrow night.
And now, coed, we'll give you the
lowdown on George Washington. After
watching Butler make a whale of a
fight against Marquette, though it lost
the day, Coaches Pixlee and Walsh
concluded the Hoosier eleven was about
the equal OF their own physically and
defensively.
prom the looks of things" said
Postum Jim today, "this game likely
will be won by the team that sue
ceeds in shaking loose somebody for a
long touchdown run
VXIHEREUPON he announced that
w George Washington would start its
four heetest backs. namely, Lee
Carlin, Johnny Fenlon, Joe Carter and
FINS Parrish. None of these Is a
horse for power, probably none as
big as your own here. but each Is
shifty, fast moving ball toter and they
mean business in q big way in this
Scllff1e with Butler
You see, George Washington has
looked to the Bulldogs in7aSion as a
highlight of its campaign and is quite
as eager for the fray as the Butler lads,
who, as you yourself remark, are all
aquiver over the first visit to the Ma
tons Capital of team representing
the Hoosier institution.
It is quite likely that Carlin and
Carter will do most Of the ball carry
ing for George Washington, with Fen
lon and Parrish, as wingbacks, clear
ing the way. Carlin probably will do
most Of the passing and kicking, but,
from what we learn from you and
Coach Pixlee, it won't be surprising if
Buffers bright star outShines Carlin
and Carter Juggling the oval and Carlip
in booting and throwing it.
This boy Booz," quoting Postum
Jim again, lis the best triple threat I've
seen this year."
Look out, George Washington" say
you sis.
We'll, Come on Butler!" we answer
