Null BALL Warriors Ol CSOIBe
! r. Washington University will
!; 1 head into the Golden Hurri-
cane of Tulsa at Griffith
Stadium tonight bent upon con-
Nerting an i'll wind into an inStru-
anent of good fortune.
p 1t seems nobody except them
Eselves comedies the OOlonials bet
! ter than an outside chance to
| whip the team that two weeks ago
\ hung an astonishing 1870 defeat
on Texas Christian University.
The future would open up pink and
F,amorous to the charges of PosSum
PiXlee if they got away with victory
tonight or even reduced the Hurricane
to a breeze.
One honest to- goodness triumph
would set George Washington aflre
with foot ball fever. A strong per-
Torrance at this time against a team
OF Tulsas undoubted caliber would
q brighten UNNECESSARILY the outlook for
the George Washington Blcentennlal
season in which the Colonials are
slated for conspicuous part, with sew
eral teams of national prominence on
their schedule.
WITH the opening kickoff tonight,
w at 8:l5 o'clock. No. IA" in the
Tulsa lineup will be cynosure.
That numcral will distinguish the
broad back of Ishmael Pilkington,
whom Oklahomans dare to urge for
the fuback spot on anybody'S ALI
America.
Pilkerton is the Hurricanes storm
head. Speed power, kicking and pass
ing ability plus foot bail sense are &C
credited him and his name is quite
known to fame beyond the confines OF
the Southwest
Others outstanding in the Tulsa ranks
are Billy Boehm, versatile quarterback,
and Chuck Keeling, a rabbi" halfback,
and in the line. Gene Morris. 190-pound
center; Bill Volok, 220-pound guard,
and Johnny Potts, 200-pound flankman.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON will have a
" decided weight advantage. It's line
will average 1879 pounds against 179
for the invaders. 1t has no Pllkington
but its backfield is capable and versatile
and it has pair OF sterling ends IN
Fred MulVey and Ike Chambers.
The team as whole is rated George
Washingtons strongest since the Iron
Men of 1927 but the nature OF the
competition it has received so far has
prevented a definite appraisal of its
power. 1t rolled up big scores against
Shenandoah and Elon and defeated an
inspired Boston College team. IA to 0.
for a grand total of ITO points. The
game tonight will be its first sound test.
MO matter what the result, the con-
IN test should be an interesting foot
ball show. Tulsa is noted for its
thickness. and plays an open and
daring game. The Colonials have taken
this into account in preparing for the
battle and will be keyed to an unusual
pitch of alertness. In figuring their
chances for victory they are encouraged
by the memory of last years game at
Tulsa in which they lost by ID to 6,
but on two occasions shook loose the
ball carrier into a clear field only TO
have him pulled down from behind.
Tulsa has improved greatly since than.
The Colonials believe they have, too.
ID ESERVED seats for the game cost
N sl.5O. general admissions 81. and
box seats So each. Boy Scouts in
uniform will be admitted at four bits a
head this arrangement having been
brought about by the efforts of Troop
233 of Kensington.
Everything considered, the battle
sizes up as the foot ball bargain OF
the wear
