stranger to most persons except
al old football players, gave the
latter type Of George washington
rooters an uncomfortable 40 min
utes last night in Griffith Sta
dium. g.
Jim Pixlee's ColoniapS, a worry
10 their coaches as they entered
last nights fray, came through
with a 12.to.6 victory over a brave
little band of Indians from VIII
liam and Mary. but only after
O.. WIS players had learned that
1t is never wise to hold an oppo-
nent cheaply.
When one stops to consider
that william and Mary was minus
no less than five Of her best men
for IS minutes Of q Commute
contest. and minus four Of those
five men throughout the entire
game, one must realize that the
Indians from old Williamsburg,
Va, deserve epic praise.
G. w. had power last night,
but the mental attitude of the
players in the days Immediately
preceding the contest indicated
danger for the Colonials. Incl-
dentally, the mental attitude of
William and Mary's players was
not Of the best either.
The Colonials were over-confi-
dent. The Indians were not at
all certain how well they could
play without Halligan, Shade,
Quirk and Darden, the four top
performers on the Indian squad,
exclusive Of PaleSe. The last
named played only five minutes
OF last nights contest.
@. w. started like a house
afire. Shortly after the first
kickoff, Chalko, Indian halfback,
went back to his own 22-yard
line to punt. His kick went off
the inside Of his foot, spiraled
the wrong way, and went out of
bounds after travelling 20 yards.
It was G. WIS ball on the Indian
42-yard stripe.

quarters.
The third quarter was not very

the score.
Three times on this Sc yard
march Fenlon took the Colonials
out Of tight spots with clever
running. Baker missed the try
for point.
The second half was played in
mud and rain.
Indians Score
Early in the final canto, the
Indians scored. A neat punt,
by Lecroix, put the bail on G..
W.'s 3.yard line in possession of
the ColonialS. The latter punted
and it was William and Mary's
ball at the G. w. 34-yard line.
One play, through left tackle,
gained three yards for the In.
dians, and then Worrell, on a
fake reverse, slipped right end
and dashed 81 yards through a
broken field for the score. Conn
blocked the, effort at field goal
by Lecroix. Worrell's run was
exciting and cleverly executed.
After scoring in the third
quarter the ColonialS were not
dangerous for the remainder Of
that period. However, in the
fourth quarter, after the William
and Mary score, @. w. turned on
the steam. Once again. Fenlon
placed G. w. in a scoring posi-
ton by his clever running, de-
spite the slippery going.
Twice in the fourth period the
brave defense Of william and
Mary took the ball on downs
from the Colonials. once on the
Vineyard line and ozce on the
15-yard stripe.

In the game, william and Mary
was dangerous in the final
moments of the contest, but the
speed merchant could not get
away and the game ended with
the bah in possession of the In
dams on their own 24-yard line.
