~ score of years, George Wash
~ ington University once more
takes its place in the college
foot ball sun.
For the first time since the days of
before the World War, the Colonials
this season gave to their university and
to Washington in general one of the
finest teams that ever graced Capital
gridiron and foot ball entertainment of
far better grade than ever before pro-
vided here.
In doing this George Washington was
eminently successful, too. Not only did
it play to record of six victories, two
defeats and one tie, but in its home
engagements there were seven 1T
played to approximately $4,000 custo-
mers, total gate excelling any ever
recorded by a college foot ball team in
Washington.
Well coached, well scheduled and
playing well, the Colonials deserved all
success that came their way. Foot ball
followers of the National Capital have
for them nothing but praise.
WHILE other games played by them
w in Griffith Stadium this Fall were
replete with thrills, the Colonials
wind-up engagement staged yesterday
with the University of Oklahoma team
provided more foot ball entertainment
than any of the others before 1t ended
with the score at Tall.
It was a brilliant battle between
hard-driving George Washington outfit
personified in the doughty Johnny
Fenlon and a illiant-passing Okla
homa aggregation led by the accurate
firing Bob Dunlap.
Fenlon, running back punt 20 yards
to Oklahoma's 37-yard stripe early in
the second quarter, headed a plunglng
offensive that moved play within yards
of goal. 1t was his final thrust OF 5
yards on the third play Of series that
made it first down on the 4-yard stripe.
There the Oklaholnans gallantly with
stood two drives, but third one. with
OTIS Kriemelmeyer having less than a
yarl to travel to goal, was successful.
Johnny Baker added the extra point
with a neat boot.
Not until the third period did the
Sooners find the territory behind goal.
Catching a punt, Dunlap Scurried back

Walker. The throw was good for bit
more than 25 yards, and Walker, TAX
ing the ball on a dead run, dashed 25
more before he was downed on the CO.
lonials' 9-yard stripe. The next Dunlap
pass was intercepted by a George Wash
ington end, but Oklahoma Immediately
regained the ball by Hopping on fum-
BILE made by Kriemelmeyer. The Soon
ers plunged to the 13-yard line, then
Dunlap dropped back to pass to Fred
Cherry. who, after the catch, ran about
yards to touchdown. Dunlap easily
negotiated the extra point to deadlock
the fray.
THERE were serious threats by each

the second and fourth quarters. Late
in the second, Oklahoma recovered a
fumbled kick on the Colonials' 17-yard
line and passed and smashed its way
to the half-yard line where it relin-
quished the ball on downs just as the
half horn footed In the fourth quar-
ter. after Baker had missed with a
kick in field goal try, the Colonials

Oklahoma in first downs, registering 16

yards gained in rushing, 1872 to IT..
However, the Sooners completed z of
IT passes for 1877 yards, while the Co
lonials making good with of ~ passes

high order, with Dunlap slightly out
kicking Kriemelmeyer.

turn of the second-half kickoff by Fen
Ion. who caught the ball on his own
goal line. that gave the $4,000 crowd
its greatest thrill. The Colonials imme-
diately lost the ball, though, and it was
not long before Oklahoma was on even
terms there to remain.
