Bx HARRY COSTELLO


Eight weeks ago Coach Jim
Pixlee, Of George washington
University, was confidential with
this reporter. Said Jim:
"Some day this G. w. out
fit of 1882 is going to play up
to IS per cent of its capacity
for football. When it does,
some good team is going to be
badly beaten"
Well, last night in Griffith
Stadium, the G. w. grid outfit
Of 1882 played up to 95 per cent
of it's capacity for football. The
result is now history. A good
Iowa team, but far from the best
Iowa has had, was badly beaten.
The final count, 81 to 6, does
not accurately portray the Su-
periority Of G. w. The Colonials
were Within an eyelaSh of being
six touchdowns better than the
Hawkeyes.
McCarver EIashy
That G. w. taem clicked last
night. and how!
Mig" McCarver proved himself
one of the hardest running backs
ever to cross a gridiron in Wash.
ington. Little Johnny Fenlon
proved himself one who can
block, when blocking counts.
Blackstone proved himself a CEN
ter who can play secondary de-
fense with the best of them.
Stewart and Pearce, Bill Parrish
and Walter Slaird, Chambers,
Mulvey and Galloway. FiniS Par
riSh and Johnny Baker-they
were all stars.
There were others, too, in the
uniform of G. w. who flashed
gridiron prowess that many fans
thought beyond their capacity.
w ellington will 60 many a
day before it will witness such
thrilling game as last nights.
That was rip-tail-Snorter for ac-
ton, if there ever was one.
Surely, no person among the 12,-
900 present ever saw a better
game, one so packed with thrills
and sensations.
Pass Helps Immensely
In the first quarter the G. W.
team clicked to near-perfection,
moving the ball down the field
70 yards for a touchdown. The
hard-running McCarver, aided by
his mates in line and backfield,
accounted for most of the yard
age. A pass. which netted Is
yards, McCarver to Finis Parrish,
aided immensely in this march of
victory.
1t was the fourth quarter before
the Colonials put on enough pres
sure to score again. Kriemel-
meyer intercepted pass and ran
Is yards to Iowa's 39-yard stripe.
Fenlon, playing quarterback, gave
a rare exhibition of generalship,
and in seven plays drove his team
across the Hawkeye goal line for
the score which put the game on
ice.
G. WIS third touchdown follow
ed another intercepted pass. Baker
grabbed this one and G, w, was
AZ yards from the Iowa goal line.
In two plays, both passes (the
first McCarVer to Galloway, which
made II yards; the second, Baker
to McCarver, which made 3O), G.
w. was across with the ball.
Runs Back Punt to Score
1oWa'S lone touchdown was the
result of a thrilling 75-yard dash
by Laws, halfback, who caught a
quick kick at his own 25-yard
line, got away from two tacklers,
missed going out bounds by
inches and then dashed for G.
WIS goal line. In negotiating the
run he lodged several ColonialS
after he had saved himself from
going out of bounds.
One is quick to accord the G.
w. team of last night the high
est of praise. Perhaps it would
not be amiSS to state that had
the best team in the Big Ten
been playing G. w. last night,
that best team of the Big Ten
would nave been hard pressed to
defeat the ColonialS.
1t is well to remember that
back of last nights victory is the
hard work and the conscientious
and intelligent effort of group
of coaches who have never
wavered in their faith in their
men, who have never given up
hope, who have carefully followed
a planned policy of strategy
which has finally borne fruit.
