CO[ON|A[SPRIME
FOR |RED BOBCATS
Scouts Say 0verconfidence
Cost Fridays Foe Game
Against Salem.

w YHILE undoubtedly re-
M garded heavy favorite
Y Y to win its game with
West Virginia Wesleyan
Friday night in Griffith Stadium,
the George Washington eleven,
conquerer Of Auburn in a major
upset last Saturday. is anticipat-
ing the contest with a strong re-
spect for its rival.
G. w. coaches and players have not
orgotten-though other persons may
have-that the Bobcats rose up nightly
to defeat a favored New York Uni
versity team earlier in the season
What has happened in the interim
and the Bobcats certainly have slumped
does not serve to lull the Colonials
into a sense of security by any stretch
of the imagination.
As result of scouting reports of the
Wesleyan-Sale game, which saw the
Bobcats lose a 1877 decision last Fri
day, the Colonials are practicing under
full steam, intent on meeting trouble
some opposition Scouts reported to
Head Coach Jim Pixlee that overconfi-
dence-nothing elSe-cauSed WeSleyan's S
downfall in that game.
TH1S information, together with
memories of WeSleyanS 80 up
set of New York u. has served
to put the ColonialS on their toes. In
other words they are looking for any,
thing to happen in the way of sur
prise attack, with thoroughly aroused
Bobcat team tossing its full might into
the battle.
Coach Cebe Ross. who was on the
all-America honor roll in 1922. has for
years turned out West Virginia Wes-
leyan teams that have been able to de-
feat favored foes in decisive fashion
Only last year the Bobcats came down
from the mountains to set back George
town, IA to 0. after having upset their
State rivals, West Virginia University
IA to O. Later in the season they went
up to West Point to extend a strong
Army eleven before bowling by To
score.
CEVEN members of the team that de-
y feated Georgetown, including a
Washington boy. Joe Hall, a back
will return to Griffith Stadium Friday
night to face the unbeaten Colonials
Hall again is playing regularly in the
Bobcat backfield and is doing a fine
job of running. kicking and passing 1,
was Halls passing and kicking which
more than any other factor helped
the Bobcats to down Georgetown last
year
Other veterans in Coach Ross com
bination are Howard Bachtel and Irwin
Howell, halfback and fullback, reSpec-
ticely; Harry Spears. one of the best
ends and pass receivers to show here in
1882; Edison Rine, another end, who
this year has been going great guns

job. To go bit further about Mel
son. his record as coach of local
college teams is unsurpassed and prob
ably never will be eXcelled, not only
because of its success, but because it
was so unusual. He first coached at
the old Maryland Agricultural College,
now University of Maryland, and won
two State championships in three
years. He then took charge at George
Washington and developed elevens that
ran up big scores on opponents that
prior to that had been too strong for
the Colonials. From George Washing
ton Nielsen went to Georgetown and
while there had some of the most Sue
cessful elevens that have worn George
town colorS.
After that following an interim when
he was out OF town. Nielsen Coached at
Catholic University and built up a
gridiron prestige there fro.l c)nD .
lively nothing. which has stood as the
until last year and this. He was a
great coach and it is to be regretted
that international legal practice took
him out of foot ball.
An INCIDENT that throws an in
~ teresting sidelight on some of the
modern foot ball was related by Mel
sen shortly after the Navy-Notre Dame
game in Baltimore four years ago.
Nielsen saw that game and noted an
article in the papers of the Monday
following which went at some length
to describe a new play created by the
genius of Rockne, a play that had
completely taken Navy off its guard
and scored a touchdown. About this
play Nielsen remarked, with chuckle:
did you see that story in the paper
about the new play Rockne created
which scored touchdown on Navy?
Well, what do you suppose it was?
Nothing but that old quarterback play
on which you scored three touchdownS
against washington and Lee the day
that George Washington whipped that
university. SO to 6.
Nelson then diagrammed Notre
Danes play. and the new creation was
almost identical with the play used by
Nelson in 1906, 1907 and 1908, and
which first was developed by BUNNY
Booth, an old Princeton man who
coached at Nebraska around 1900.
AS Johnny McGovern, former Mime
| sofa all-American quarterback, said the
other day, There's not much that's
actually new in offensive foot ball. as
it's all based on dash inside or outside
the end, a slant inside of tackle and a
straight drive over center, and these
are the same distances and the same
directions they were 30 years ago."

PIONEER COLLEGES
MEET ON GRID HERE
William and Mary Second 0ldest
in Country, Georgetown Oldest
in Catholic Ranks.

CTEEPED in historical lore if not in
y gridiron importance will be the re-
sumption Of relations between Will
liam and Mary and Georgetown when
the schools meet on the foot ball field
at Griffith Stadium Saturday
They are two of the Oldest colleges in
the country. William and Mary was
founded in 1893 and is the second old
est college in America Georgetown.
founded in 1889, is the Oldest Catholic
college in the country
Cordial relations between the two
schools date many years back. but an
especially notable example of this took
place in 1859. when the library of Will
liam and Mary was destroyed by fire
and Georgetown helped to rebuild its
collection of books by sending many
from its own library.
John Tyler. later President of the
United States. was president of William
and Mary at that time.

the Notre Dame system. La Sale Is

NEW YoRK.-The boys from Cooper
Union play foot ball under plenty of
handicaps but they still play. The team
does not officially represent the school
and receives no support from the
athletic funds. And now the word
comes that it must be listed as Cooper

to be suspended from college on the
ground that they're claiming position
that doesn't belong to them.

that no team of his ever would be
beaten by Kentucky never has been
confirmed. but his record against the
Wildcats seems to back it up. In q

JUNIOR PLAY
is BIG SUCCESS
Cast Acquits Itself Well be-
fore Well Filled House; Is
Well Directed

One of the most outstanding
plays ever given by the Kenne-
wick high school students was the
Junior play, "What Happened to
JONES'" a three-act comedy pre-
scented Wednesday evening under
the direction of Miss Mildred
fash. Frank Mueller as Jones, who
masquaraded as a bishop and the
amusing escapades that result;
Gene Shanafelt, as perfectly
good professor, who had strayed
a little from the dignity Of his po-
sition, and the troubles in keeping
his secret from his wife, Euarda
Vinson, who cleverly portrayed
the perfect wife, so solicitous of
beloved husband and family, were
parts especially well taken. Law
renee Hawkins, the real bishop and
brother to the professor, portray
ed his part well. Betty Brown, as
Helma, was an excellent servant
and had the present day racketeer
game on working basis. Betty
Tilbury as the professors ward,
and Pauline Strive, as the profess
sor's sister-in-law, cleyerly acted
their parts. Each member of the
cast ably supported the leaders
and deserve much credit for the
well-presented play. The play was
well directed.
