1t was the middle of the second
quarter last night in Griff's sta
dium.
Jacobson, punter for North Da-
kota State, got away a beautiful
kick. 1t sailed from his foot as
he stood on his own eight-yard
line and dropped into the arms
Of Johnny Fenlon, spark plug Of
George Washington University'S
team, as Irish Johnny stood on
| G. WIS 45-yard line. Johnny
scooted back is yards with the
ball before he was tackled.
It was the turning point Of O
great football game, which q. w.
won, 20 to o.
Show Great Defense
From then until G. w. scored
the first Colonial touchdown,
few minutes later. the pressure
was on North Dakota State. The
Bisons played courageously, and
showed a remarkable defense.
They forced G. w. to- try q field
goal. Bakers effort was blocked.
and it was States ball. However,
the pressure on State continued.
Jacobson, kicking, with five
men upon him, this time got away
punt that travelled only 33 yards.
It was G. WIS ball just that dis
tance from the Bison goal line.
Fenlon now made the greatest
play Of a great football game. A
forward pass was called. Fenlon
ran back, after getting the ball
from center. He moved backward
and to his right, as he faced east.
He waited, and then waited some
more. He had poiSe, confidence.
Finally he spied mig" McCarver.
halfback and mate, yards away
from N. D. States secondary de-
fense.
Whiz! The ball shot through
the air into McCarver'S hands.
The play accounted for Il yards.
Carter got four on a spinner, after
lateral pass from Fenlon to Nc
Carver had made six. The ball
was two yards from States goal
line.
Hail to FenIon
Here the men from the North
made q mighty stand. But the
pressure was great. It took four
plays to 60 that two yards, but
McCarver finally crashed his own
right tackle for one inch, the dis
tance necessary to make that first
touchdown. Baker goaled. The
score stood C. W., z; N. D. State,
0. The touchdown was made on
the last play Of the first half.
Now, let us follow Johnny Fen
lon again. 1,,tf"
It is the middle of the fourth
quarter. Onto the field trotS Fen
Ion. State has the ball, on its own
35-yard stripe.
The G. w. team seemed to
jump into action as Fenlon came
to join his mates. About three
G. w. linemen broke through,
blocked a kick and the Colonials
had the ball is yards from
States goal line. "Zu-Zu" Stew
art led the charge which blocked
the kick.
Baker, calling plays, signalled
for triple pass behind the line
Of scrimmage. It went off per-.
fectly. Fenlon. getting the ball:
last, made 13 yards at left end
McCarver got the other two
yards by the most powerful bit
Of running Of the night. He hit
right tackle with the speed and
drive Of an express train. Baker
missed try for goal, but the score
stood 13 to 0 in favor of the
ColonialS.
62-Yard March
Now the Colonials decided on
a long march to prove that the
other two touchdownS were not
accidents. Down the field, 50
hard yards, went the men Of
Pixlee. On that march they
finally told all doubters present
that here, indeed, was a football
team.
McCarver went 10 yards around
right end. Five plays, one of
them a neat forward pass, Fen
lon to Chambers. took the ball
to States 15-yard line. State
was under pressure, particularly
the pressure Of Johnny Fenlon,
Johnny Baker and mig" McCar-
YER.
A loss Of a. yard accrued to
G. w. With the ball Is yards
from the State goal line. Johnny
Baker, as one Johnny to another,
called on Johnny Fenlon to "tote
the ball." as they say in Texas,
whence comes Baker. :.
The Michigan IriShman, who
Is Johnny Fenlon, responded as
Michigan Irishmen are won't to-
do when challenged by men from
Texas.
Getting the ball last again, on
a triple pass, behind the line Of
scrimmage. Irish Johnny dashed
Is yards to the third score. It
