G.W.'SFU[LbACKS
CALLED TINT FIVE
Coach PixIee's Task Lies in
Making Selection for
Starting Duty.

- PEED, deception and power in
~ equal amounts combine to take
a foot ball team to town. so
they say. and George Wash
ington can expect at least its full
measure of power this Fall If present
indications mean anything.
There's real power-TNT, mules
kick and a sleep-producing wallop-
in them thar Colonial fullbacks, five
brawEy bruisers ranging in weight
from 180 to 1913. The boys who
answer the signals with back breaking
force against the line are Dean Alex
ander, 1873; Pete Braezeal, 189; Ray
Hanken, 1888; Horace Petit, 181, and
Bill Brewer, 180.
Time was when George Washington
couldn't muster single fullback with
the power Of any one of these sinewy
gents. and it goes without saying that
G. W.'s attack sputtered and stalled.
When the enemy had little to fear
from Colonial line bucks they were
usually set to stop any variation of
tactics. In other words, G. w. couldn't
force the opponent to draw in its de-
fense so that variation would carry
with it the element of surprise.
Swamped With Plungers.
Z YEAR before last G. w. first found
I a fullback with sheer power and
head-on drive necessary to the
inside line threat. He was OTIS
Kriemelmeyer. the first Washington
boy to make good in modern Colonial
foot ball. Then came Don Bomba last
season to increase the effectiveness of
this phase of the offense, his work
in the North Dakota game being
largely responsible for a surprisingly
easy victory. Other G. w. backs nat
urally collected much yardage of
tackle, around the fanks and with
passes.
Now Coach Jim Pixlee literally is
swamped with candidates for this i'm
portant duty. Horace Pettit's sud-
den appearance in the middle of the
picture last Saturday, when he ripped
the freshmen line to shreds. has
| thrown the fullback position into q
muddle.
Petit, twin brother Of Harvey, a
candidate for end, displayed terrific
hitting powers. He made holes some
times when his interference went
awry, while seldom did he fail to gain
when encountering the secondary
after getting through a hole. Petit
previously had been performing as a
blocking back.
All of the others slam into the
line with the abandon of bull charg-
ing through daisies. And they like it.

This Fight Different.

THEY fought entirely differently
last night, and the result was
a bitter punching battle that
seethed through the arena round after
round, with first one, then the other,
buckling under right-hand smashes
that caved their knees, but never fully
f1oored either.
McLarnin, dead tired at the end,
came closest to hitting the floor, as he
skidded twice under Barney's attack
in the last round. Each time, though,
he was more weary than hurt.
They dealt each other terrific pun
ishment betting with an abandon that
belied their regulations as two of the
best scientists of the ring world. As
early as the third round, their faces
starting taking on an entirely new
appearance, and by the fifteenth you
had to be an intimate to recognize
either.
Barney's left eye started to close
under McLarnin's right-hand slashes
as early as the third. In the eighth
McLarnin's right eyebrow was gashed
and his own left eye started to blow up.

Ross Fights Bitterly.


CTILL coming, sopping up Nc
y Larnin's famous right hand as
the Gardens flowing bowl has
been drowning down rain for II
straight days, Ross fought his bitter,
elemental kind of fight.
Time and again he popped Jimmy S
mouth open with left hooks to the
pit of the stomach, turning him
around, dazed, with rights to the head,
and always he charged in, firing in
cessantly. The eleventh and thirteenth
were even, but Ross seemed 10 have
an edge in every other round after
the seventh with the exception Of
the tenth, in which nothing much
happened.
The Associated Press score card
gave Ross a narrow margin, while
Donovan's vote for McLarnin was the
highest of the night, 10 for the
Irishman and five for Ross.
The boys. however, shared N ret
receipts estimated at $l25,010 at the
rate of 40 per cent for Ross. IS per
cent for McLarnin.

Both Well Battered.

DY THE halfway mark, Ross lips
n were smashed. BY the twelfth
McLarnin's left eye was sealed
tight, and his nose and lips had
started bleeding in the eleventh.
Then, to even matters, Barney's
right eye was cut in the thirteenth.
McLarnin has a grapefruit swelling
on his forehead, and Barney looks as
though he had a billiard ball in his
cheek. They could scarcely have tried
harder.
1t was McLarnin's fight through
the early rounds, as he boxed beauti-
fully, weaving in and out, stabbing
Ross head with left jabs, hooking neat
ly to the head and ribs, flinging his
right with deadly accuracy into Bar
neys head. Only for three minutes
In the second, with winging rights that
had McLarnin dizzy and bewildered
did Barney stem the tide.
But through the seventh. it seemed
that the heavier McLarnin, scaling
146l4 to Barney's l4o14. had shot
his bolt.

BUDGET DECLARED
ABOVE ESTIMATES
Fusion Speaker Asserts
Total Is Half Million
Over Figures.
BY JACK ALLEN,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

/ BETHESDA, Md, october 3l.-A
charge that Montgomery County'S
budget for 1884 aggregates approx
niately half a million dollars more
than the sum announced by the
Board OF County Commissioners was
made by James C. Rogers, Fusion
party nominee for the House of Dele
gates, at the Fusion rally here last
night.
Rogers claim and a statement by
Judge Henry J. Hunt, Sd, of the Or
phans Court, that the Democratic
organization won a county election
"some years back" with the aid OF
an eleventh campaign contribu-
tion of $3.50 from a public utility
corporation in Washington, furnished
the high lights of the session.
It was said by Rogers that the
budget made public by the commits
sioners total 867.72799, but that a
search which he made of records at
the court house disclosed the budget
aggregates S1,420,5 0,5O109.
Calls Tax Cut a Sop"
The speaker declared that the
board asserted in its budget figures
that s67,8l9.53 would be allocated for
. bonds and interests net not to be
: refunded or retired through State
contributions He added he had
found that the actual payments to be
5 made on principal and interest for
bonas this year is S620,59263.
He asserted that he had learned the
board proposes to make up the differ
ence by using unexpended funds avail
able from last years gas tax receipts.
an unexpended item of 1,11G.66 in the
Poolesville road fund, estimated profits
OF $a50,000 from the liquor dispensary
system. and through the refunding or
State contributions of 1912 900 of the
obligations. He said that S188 900 has
already been borrowed this year for
refunding purposes.
Rogers said that in view of his
findings, the scent reduction in the
tax rate is a "'sop' thrown in to in
f1uence the election"

the Democratic county administration
for the increase of Montgomery s
