Berries VS.. Johnson.

TROM all reports, it would be diff
cult to envision foot ball game
in which greater stress was laid
on the achievements Of two men on
rival teams than was laid on Berries
of Navy and johnson of Virginia.
Most of the ground gaining and the
general burden of the offenSe was
carried by them. In the seven first
downs that Virginia made, johnson
either carried the ball, threw it or
caught it on every one. Berries was
the one Navy man Virginia could not
stop.
OF course, this is the way it seems
from the stands but one thing the
stands do not take into considera-
ton in such game is the long and
careful planning of coaches in build
ing up support for such stars as john
son and Borries. Other men clear the
way, other men block, other backs
protect to give them their opportuni-
ties to shine. They are selected for
their roles. because they do one or
two things better than any others,
and are given every possible oppor-
tunity.

n ing of Army said, Il don't see
how Army possibly can be as

may be just as good, maybe better.
Davidson put up a great hight
against North Carolina State, but went
down before Army, Al to o.
Vanderbilts decisive victory over
Georgia Tech was about the most
outstanding achievement in the South,
If Tennessee'S over North Carolina is
not considered.
1t would be a remarkable and rather
a glad ending to the coaching careers
of Dan McGugin of Vanderbilt and
Bob Neyland of Tennessee if this year
they turn out the greatest teams thev
have had
McGugin has been coaching at Van
derbilt for 80 years and Neyland 8 at
Tennessee. 1t is doubtful if any other
~coach in the country has a more sue
cessful period of coaching behind him

REVAMP|NG HELD
COLON|ALS' NEED
Faults in BaekfieId Are
Spotted-Leemans Great
Despite Injury.
BY ROD THOMAS.

bI hOO 1HONAos
GRAND old scrap for places in
~ George Washington'S backfield
~ will be fought as the Colonials,
who returned today from a
scoreless tie with Denver University,
prepare for a contest next Friday night
with The Citadel of South Carolina,
which will make its first appearance in
the Capital.
Although the Colonials played well
enough to win with ordinary fortune
by two or three touchdoWns from Den
yer, the coaches saw things to convince
them the team lacked coordination
and several other qualities they thought
it had. The faults lay almost alto
gether in the backfield.
Non-sparing workouts of the next
several days will determine whether
Dale Prather will be shifted from a
tackle to the ball-running department
and a substitute back or two given
more opportunity.
Leemans Alone Effective.
VXYITH one of the finest ball
" toting performances seen by
this reporter in recent years,
Tuffy LeemanS alone of the c.. w.
backs was effective against Denver.
In spite of terrific beating, Leemans
averaged more than seven yards a
carry, kicked well and passed about as
well as ne could see. One of his lamps
was dark through large part of the
game. When other Buff and Blue
backs lugged the ball they failed to
gain enough to note or fumbled, and in
the last analysis it was bobbles that
saved Denver.
The Colonial coaches believe they
have the stuff to patch the backfield
and carry on with credit against what
recent events indicate TO be the tough
est lineup of foes ever opposed by
G.. w.
Vanderbilt beat Georgia Tech, Tulsa
beat Kansas, Wake Forest beat North
Carolina State, Oklahoma beat Gen.
tenary and North Dakota beat South
Dakota, the winner in each instance
to be met by the Colonials. with all
having stopped tough opponents. Still
another major rival, Louisiana State
tied redoubtable Southern Methodist.
Citadel was downed by Oglethorpe
and West Virginia, which will face the
Colonials, lost to Pitt.
Expects to Play.
N ESPITE viciously cut eye Lee
- mans probably will play against
Citadel, even though his efforts
are not necessary TO victory. He is
the big gun of the Colonials' attack
this season and Head Coach Pixlee
doesn't care to risk rusting Of the
howitzer's mechanism.
Prather, rangy, well-knit youth
with lots of foot ball sense, probably
could make the grade In a big way in
any position. In George Washington S
two games this Fall, he has shown
powerful charge at tackle, which
transplanted to the fullback position
should enable him to punch the ball
over when close TO the goal line. In
the Denver contest this sort OF G. W
wallop was missing.
AS another qualification for a back
field place, Prather is an excellent
blocker and better than average pass
receiver. Also. though not trying
seriously in this department, the
young KanSan has booted the ball SO
and so yards. In this, however, ne
is inconsistent.
