c. v. FOE RANKED
WITH DIXIE ACES
CoIoniaIs Point for Kitchin,
Young Wake Forest Back,
in Game Saturday.

- than Everett Strupper, we'll
known Atlanta sports editor
and foot ball official, as the
equal Of any great back the South
has boasted in 20 years, Quarterback
Walton Kitchin of Wake Forest COL
lege is the player George Washington
must stop Saturday at Wake Forest,
N. c.. If the Colonial eleven is to con-
tinue its current winning streak.
Writing recently in the Atlanta
Journal, Strupper said Of the l9-year-
old Kitchin: IT have seen all the great
backs Of the last 20 years in the
South, including the mighty Feathers
Of Tennessee, Zimmerman Of Tulane.
and even little Buck Flowers Of the
great Georgia Tech teams. but so far
as natural ability is concerned, the
lad from Wake Forest can hold his
own with any of them. He Is
the first back in three years that I
have seen who has a natural twist.
"a" And with all his other assets,
he has the intestinal fortitude"
But Strupper's rating Of the Wake
Forest quarterback only substantiates
warnings the Colonials have been re-
ceiving from their scouts, who have
observed Kitchin run, pass, kick, block
and tackle in demon fashion during
the past three weeks.
Springs From Athletic Family.
T Asst year. when George Washington
- AHe Hel ~ & Xtfah1v,
kept Wake Forest always dangerously
close to the Colonials with his passing
| and running. He has improved since
then, say the G. W. scouts, and will
merit the best defense the Buff and
Blue can muster.
Kitchin comes from line Of sturdy
Caroliniaps who for many years have
occupied prominent positions in State
and national activities. His father Is
president of Wake Forest College. Two
uncles, now deceased, rose to fame as
| Governor Of the State and United
| States Representative. A cousin before
him was an outstanding pitcher for
one of Wake Forests perennially first
rate base ball teams.
This is to be the first invasion in
history of a George Washington foot
ball team south Of the State of Vir-
| ginia. Colonial athletes in the past
have played only basket ball and base
ball in Carolina. The game, to be
| played in Wake Forests stadium, Is
expected to attract large crowd.
Leemans' Hip Heals Slowly.
WHILE planning to stop Kitchin,
w the Colonials are busy trying to
improve their offense, especially with
respect to blocking. Too seldom dur
| ing this years games has the ball car
rier found an opening through which
he might do his stuff In the open field.
G. w. hopes to have Tuffy Leemans
ready for Saturdays engagement, al
| though the Belgian Bomber yesterday
was still unable to practice. His m
jured hip is responding slowly to treat
ment. In the meantime the quarter
back position and the chief passing,
running and kicking assignment is re-
tanned by Ben Plotnicki, whose 93-yard
run with an intercepted pass started
the Colonials of to victory over West
Virginia last Friday night.
Both Pete Yurwitz and Leon Morris,
sophomores who flashed promise last
Friday as substitutes for the injured
Hank Wonder Bruegge at left end, are
likely to see action against Wake For
est. This game may determine the
ultimate disposition of the left-end
job for the balance Of the campaign.
