matches passes, runs and punts
with Kansas in the formers
alumni homecoming feature.
Both George Washington and Kan
sas use what the gridiron experts classi-
~ as the short-punt formation which
is characteristic of Missouri Valley
teams This short-punt type Of offense
was tranSplanted to G. w. by Coach
Jim Pixlee, himself a product of the
Missouri Valley.
Thus. for the first time since Okla
homa came here a year ago. the
ColoniaS will encounter opposition
grounded like themselves in that sort
carrying position about years back
OF the Scrimmage line with blocking
backs located between the ends and
tackles, this placing of the three backs
constituting distinct maneuver along
power lines.
From all indications the game will be
fought out on power plays, each team

power plays should prove as effec-
tive as ever. The terrific blocking of
this hard-working player now suffering
with an injured knee, has had much
to do with the off-tackle and inside
tackle runs that have become synoni-
nous with g. W. foot ball During his
three years OF participation for the
Bun and Blue many a line of praise

back When the achievement involved
wa directly attributable to him.
Whether Parrish will perform tSatur-

tom may be determined this after
noon when he will test his battered
knee in practice at Griffith Stadium.
