Injuries Chief Problem.

MYTH Mig McCarver, Johnny
wv Baker and Hardy Pearce ols-
barred for keeps, Coach Jim
Pixlee set about revising his team, but
this task is not major one. Excellent
requirements are on hand for all three.
Pixlee's big bother is injuries.
Stewart, Morrison, Rathjen and
Strayer in the line, and Leemans in the
backfleld, who have more or less serious
hurts, are likely to be available for
Fridays game though not In top trim.
It. was oenied at G. w. today that
zuZu Stewart, crack guard, was through
for the season. Stewart entered Satur-
days contest with a severely damaged
leg and his injury was aggravated.
Morrison's leg wound, too, was not as
serious as at first thought.
The loss OF Johnny Baker gives
greater opportunity to Ben PlotnlcA.
sophomore quarterback. Ben, who halls
from Southbend, Ind, has been foot
ball student almost from high-chalr
days, but his experience is limited. He
Is only l9.
Line Picks Up Weight.
TN THE case of Pearce. G. w. will
lose in aggreSsiyeneSs, but will
gain in weight through having to
make more use OF Harry Deming and
Sid Kolker, the Washington youth.
Deming weighs 220 and Kolker 204.
The hard-driving McCarver Will be
missed in the backfield probably, but
here again the Colonial loss is not as
great as might be supposed. 1t will
mean a heavier burden on Tuffy Lee
mans and if that brilliant youngster
can avoid further injury, the teams
loss will be minimized, indeed, for
Tuffy is far more versatile than Nc
Carver and sizes u favorably with Mig
in the latter's specialties.
It may be that McCarver's loss will
be an LII wind with considerable good
for the Colonials. Almost every quail
fed critic who has seen LeemanS has
expressed the opinion that, with ex-
perience, he will become truly great
back. George Washington had hoped
to bring Tuffy along by slow stages this
season and turn him loose next FAN.
II Leemans Is not ready for the con-
test Friday night, Coach Pixlee said
primed for Tulsa the following week.
DIR. Marvin Apologies.
~R. CLOYD HECK MARVIN, @
w. president. has written ts
- Auburn apologizing for the Co
lonials having used against that schoo
the three disbarred players whose In
eligibility was not known to DR.. Marvin
at the time.
The University of Tennessee Athlete
Association issued a statement iron
Knoxville denying the Volunteers LODGED
an eleventh-hour protest against the
use of McCarver, Baker and Pearce.
The statement, signed by N. W.
Dougherty, chairman of the athletic
council, and P. B. Parker, athletic di-
rector, said no formal protest ever was
presented by the University OF Tennes-
see. But at the request of the Faculty
Committee of George Washington, the
statement said, "the faculty chairman
of athletics at University of Tennessee
named the men who were involved IN
the information in possession Of the
Tennessee authorities, and presented
certain facts concerning these men,"
I'VE did not undertake to dictate any
action that should be taken," the state
ment added.
Dougherty and Parker said the Uni
versity of Tennessee would play any
team George Washington sent on tne

describing as an 'eleventh-hour pro-
test the furnishing at their own re-
quest of information to the George
Washington authorities on Tuesday be-
fore the game" the statement con-
cluded.
