4 Three games remain to be
played by Jim PiHlee's rejuvenated
ColonialS. and if they win them jill
they will have equaled last years rec
ord with respect to victories and de-
feats In six games thus far they have
broken even, so with three wins dur
ing the rest of the campaign they can
match the six of 1884. Last year one
game was tied and three lost.
Davis and ElkinS. No. l on the list
the Colonials hope to conquer, invades
Griffith Stadium Friday night in its
first gridiron clash with the Buff ano
Blue. The Scarlet Hurricane, which
incidentally is the JOY and pride of
Representative Jennings Randolph, ITS
former athletic director, came to life
last Saturday after an unimpressivc
earlier showing and held West Virginia
Wesleyan to 1916 score.
But for a grevious error of one half
back who permitted a Wesleyan re-
ceiver to get between him and the
goal line, D. and E. probably would
have come away with tie score and
a moral victory.

TWO George Washington scouts re-
ported to Coach Pixlee that D.
and E. packs a lot of weight, prac-
tically as much as the Colonial eleven,
and that in Fullback Gamer the visit
ing outfit will present one of the
incest passers and runners Wash
ington has seen this year. This
Gamer lad, it may be recalled was
the one who defeated George Wash
ington in basket ball last Winter in
a 48-44 upset. Gamers speed and
accurate shooting proved the undoing
OF G. W.'s basketers.
Following Davis and Elkins comes
another Hurricane" the Golden
Hurricane from Tulsa University on
November Is. and in the wind-up
engagement the Colonials will play
North Dakota on Thanksgiving Day.
Having regained confidence not only
for themselves, but for their sup
porters and the general public-at
least that portion that viewed the
thrilling Rice game last Saturday-the
Colonials need only to maintain their
wide-open tactics against Davis and
Elkin5 to build the Tulsa contest up
to the level of Importance it enjoyed
year ago. Victory over D. and E. in
impressive style probably would send
the largest night crowd of the current
season into Griffith Stadium the night
IN ALL likelihood with a mind to this,
the Colonials yesterday started
where they left of Saturday working
on their new spread formation plays
which have kept grid fans tongue
vagging since the Rice contest. Coach
Pixlee intends to lose rC time adding
variations to the set of plays already
mastered in an effort to increase their
possibilities.
