ANOTHER SPR|NTER
Dupree of Auburn Is Third
Speed Demon in Row to
Oppose CoIoniaIs.

i George Washington's eleven
with distinct regularity, and
again this Saturday the Colonials
will come face to face with a.
winged-foot gridder when Coach
Chet Wynne of Auburn trots out
Sterling Dupree, fullback.
The fast boys whom the Colonials
have met over . span Of three years
are almost too numerous to mention.
Most prominent Of them, at least In the
memories Of local fans, are Chuck
Keeling and Billy Boehm. Of Tulsa: Roy
Hanson, of North Dakota State; Little
Caesar" Cesareo, Of Catawba, and Ralph
Pierce, Of North Dakota U.
Since Jim Pixlee took the foot ball
reins at George Washington it has
been strangely co-incidental that vir-
tually every team he has scheduled has
shaken loose q speedy back to give the
Colonials all sorts Of trouble.
A ND now the Colonials look to Du-
~ pree, the third sprint champion
in as many weeks to represent
their opponents. In last Fridays Glenn
oOii 6oAlC tAACy OPPOoco NOAooAA oyAAA,
Southern Conference dash king, and
the week before ran up against North
Dakotas Ralph Pierce, North Central
Conference champion.
Auburn's Dupree rules the flock Of
100 and 220 yard sprinters in the South
eastern Conference, and in light Of his
accomplishments on the track probably
rates the title Of the fastest fullback
in the South. Lynn Of Clemson is .
halfback. incidentally.
In all likelihood major assignment
for George washington in the forth
coming intersectional classic will be the
job Of stopping Dupree on his lightning
attempts to slice through the line and
circle the ends. Thus far no opponent
has consistently frustrated the Sylves-
ter. Ga. Cyclone, as an alert publicity
man calls him, his scoring record being
as good as any Auburn teammate.
In the Tigers opening game OF the sea-
son Dupree scored two Of his teams
three touchdowns and collected q total
Of 125 yards gained in 13 runs for the
fine average Of fraction over nine
yards.
DUPREES own bailiwick his figure
is the cynosure of the fans eyes.
and this Is explained not only be-
cause he is the fastest man in Chet
Wynne's outfit, but because he wears
the famous No. go" jersey which last
year was worn by the all-American half
back. Jimmy Hitchcock. In Grimth
Stadium Dupree should attract Just as
much attention, once he lets aoCse .
sprinter's burst Of speed in heavy foot
ball uniform.
Sharing to an extent the role Of Au-
burns speed ace is Allen Rogers, right
halfback and star kicker, who runs the
40 on the Plainsmen track team Is
well as a leg Of the mile relay. They
call this 155-pound streak "the greatest
back in America for his size" down Ala
bama way.
Rogers is harder runner than Du-
pree in that he hits the opposition with
more force and sl1statns his drive longer.
According to Auburn's publicity depart
ment. he is also q hard and accurate
devastating blocker and fair passer.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON will not
IT leave the speed demonstrations
entirely to Auburn, however, for
the Buff and Blue has in Mig McCarver
man who has run the century dash
in 9.8 seconds. Indeed. McCarver has |
never suffered by comparison with any |
of the winged-footers the Colonials have |
cllCOuutclc Gu Jul ulS 4llS IiIIlc IlcIe. hllO
1t may turn out that the outcome of |
Saturdays battle will hinge on a Du-
pree- e-McCarver duel.
While G. W.'s preparations are pro-
ceeding with much attention paid to
stopping Dupree, the general all-around !
OF Auburn's team extensively |
is something that requires intensive |
work on balanced and effective de-
fense. @. w. must cope with ""Firpo" |
Phipps' passes, with Truck Talley's |
spinners into the line. and with Rogers
fine kicking. If 1t hopes to do good
job of upsetting the favored Southern !
eleven.
