JUDGED by the turnout at Griffith
Stadium last night, when upward
OF $4,000 cash customers braved
bad weather to see George Wash
ington University's spectacular eleven
clash with little, but game and tricky
aggregation representing william and
Mary. foot bali must be regarded as
firmly tntrenched. in the estimation Of
the Capitals spofts-l loving public.
Warned in advance by Uncle Sans
official fcrecaster that climatic condi-
ticns would be adverse the size Of the
throng constituted convincing proof
that gridiron devotees will flock to a
promising attraction and even though
rain seriously interferred with visibility
through much of the proceedings the
assemblage apparently was satisfied 1t
had obtained its moneys worth when
the final whistle enGed maneuvers in
the mud.
After the heavens began to open up
it was hard to tell what was happening
out on the field 1t was easy to see
white-shirted referee motion to two
struggling groups of players who were
so covered with mud that in the murky
air they could not very well be identi-
fed. 1t also was easy to see this group
bAOfAAl6 AAOAAA OAAC ROo4sAA4A W dAiObAASA OAA
the field, but that was about all.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON scored an
~ other victory, this time by IL to 6.
1t faced a somewhat weakened
William and Mary eleven, but, even so,
had trouble winning. But possibly 1t
did not have as much difficulty as the
Mary played fine uphill game. but
was not able to gain very consistently.
Its touchdown was made after George
Washington had scored IL points, and
on a run from the 31-yard line. Also
the Colonials had a number OF second
stringers in the game when the William
and Mary score took place.
After that score, though, hurry
call for the regulars was sent to the
dressing room and out they came to
stem the tide. They did and for the
remainder of the quarter William and
Mary was kept backed up in its own
territory.
THE William and Mary touchdown
l. was the result of about as pretty
a run as one ever sees. The score
was made on fake reverse, on which
Dale Worrall broke through right tackle
lodged and squirmed his way through
and around half dozen George Wash
ington tacklers to break into the open
and scamper across the goal line.
Giles, who went into the game in the
backfield for William and Mary in the
last few minutes was exceptional
ally fast and came within an eye
lash of breaking loose for long run
and possible touchdown from his own
8-yard line, With about minutes left
to play and on third down, he grabbed
the ball on a punt formation and
lodged between George Washington S
left end and tackle for 15-yard gain.
He almost eluded the Colonial safety
man, and, If he had, might have gone
for another score; he seemed fast
enough to keep going if given the
chance
WILLIAM AND MARY missed Hal
w hgan, star end, and Quirk, tackle.
Both were left at home because of
illness. QuirlS is said to be an excellent
tackle, but something of Halligan's
value to the team can be realized from
the fact that the Army coaches said he
was the best end they had seen all
year.
George Washington has a better
bunch Of foot ball players than William
and Mary and probably would have won
even If the William and Mary regulars
had not been out. But, be that as it
may. it is worth something for George
Washington to say that it whipped a
team that beat Navy.
