Iowa, considering herself too
weak to play George Washington
University this year, defeated the
great Northwestern eleven! Okla
homa outplayed Vanderbilt! Tu-
lane falling before Texas Aggies!
1ndiana-in the final minute of
play-winning from little Miami
by pulling sleeper" forward
pass! Pitt outplayed for 5712
minutes of a Commute game by
w. and j., which team was touted
by an ancient football critic as
"weak!" Tennessee winning easily
from Virginia Tech!
Local Situation Brightens
Washington's local situation
frightened considerably as Satur-
days games passed into history.
G. w.. flashing powerful, YER
Satile eleven Greatly three elev-
ens), pounded out a 81 to vic
tory over Catawba. This game
clearly illustrated two points: Cd
the value of an individual player
to the small college team: (2) the
best Of teams is slow to get under
way at the opening of the season.
Dan Wilmer, Catawba's key
unit on offense, did not play
against G. w. AS a result, Ca
tawba was hopeless on offense.
Wilmer is a field general of
merit. He is a great forward
passer. Catawba lacked general
ship, utterly lacked forward pass
ing ability. With Wilmer out of
the game. Catawba could not even
take up it's spread" formations.
G.. w. started slowly. It was
obvious in the first half that the
Colonials have great drive, great
power and not little speed. The
line is a better line that last
years G. w. forward wall. Yet,
G. w. did not get going in the
first half. In that part of the
game coordination was lacking;
the boys just could not click.
Then, suddenly, G.. w. clicked
In the second half. Tennessee,
watch out!
c. U. turned on the steam.
La Sale was buried. The Fly
ing Cards will be a hard team to
beat. Bergman's boys showed
Just what blocking and tackling
mean in hard-fought grid game.
G. U. for fundamentals!
G. w. and C. U. defeated good
teams-make no mistake on that
score!
Georgetown and Maryland
came through in nice fashion,
although Mt. st. Mary's held the
Hoyas at bay for three periods.
M aryland's youngsters-mere
babes in arms, it would SEEM
showed possibilities. Maryland
will be good team in Southern
Conference competition by the
first Saturday of November.
Georgetown may surprise with a
team that will go places if (and
the "if" il big one) the Hoyas
are ..ot called upon to replace
first team men during the play
ing of the hard schedule which
Georgetown faces.
Virginia Techs fall before Ten
nessee was forecasted by this
observer in last Tuesdays Times.
Asking V. P. I. to defeat Ten
nessee with such material as the
Vols have on their field is-to
say the least-absurd. Asking
Virginia Military Institute to win
over Duke with such material as
the Blue Devils have on their
field is just as absurd.
North Carolina State, victor
over CataWba by single touch
down, gave Georgia a battle but
finally went down. States ma
terial is not anywhere near as
good as Georgia's, but States
material is superior in most
ways to that at V. P. l., and it
is far superior to that at " M. l.,
Washington and Lee, Virginia
and Maryland, all of whom ap-
pear about on a par.
Trials For Systems
From a technical point of view,
Saturdays games indicated that
severe trials are before the Gou-
blowing system (Warner) and
the Notre Dame style of play.
Teams without superior mate
rial encounter difficulty with
both systems. The single-wing
formation and the half-punt
formation appear to be easier
adapted to the general run of
gridiron material.
