Material Overrated.

THERE has been a sad misconcep-
ton of the foot ball material that
comes to George Washington. Neither
in quantity nor quality is it on a par
with the material that gathers or is
gathered at schools which carry on
foot ball on a major scale. In its
hunt for players-and what school
doesn't scout for them?-George
Washington invariably is forced to
take second pick because some other
school can present more attractive in
ducementS. We have firSt-hand
knowledge that the Buff and Blue is
going to find it plenty tough to lure
any more high grade players from the
State of Texas, whence have come
many Of its best performers of the last
five years. Foot ball is booming as
never before in the Lone Star land
and gridiron machines of the brand
of Rice, Southern Methodist and
Texas Christian aren't manufactured
from second choice material.
AS an example of the Colonials'
fortune in gathering gridiron talent,
there was a lad on this years G. w.
freshman team who chose the Capital
institution only when he was turned
down" by his home town college be-
cause he lacked heft. This youngster
resigned the other day with expecta-
tions Of landing after all with the
school that more attracted him.

LOCAL PIN STARS
IN CRUCIAL CLASH
0CcidentaIs' League Lead
at Stake Against Dixie
Pigs at Temple.

IGHT of the ten first ranking
~ bowlers of the Capital are
slated to roll in the much
- heralded Southern Intercity
League match between the leading
Occidental Restaurant team and the
second place Temple Dixie Pigs to-
night at Northeast Temple.
The five-game tussle, starting at
o'clock, marks the first time the
two Washington entries have met.
If Fred Buchholz. the Occidental
sponsor, chooses, he can place an
entire team of ranking stars on the
runways, which gives his club
five to three edge
Astor Clarke, the city's No. /
shooter, Eddie Espey, Bill Krauss, Joe
Harrison and Hokie Smith are the
Occidental rollers who gained the
select circle last season. But it is
likely that Capt. Dutch Newman will
be in the starting lineup, with Smith
held in reserve. AS pinch bowler
Smith has averaged 140 in his last
six games.
Against this array of sharpshooters
Hugh Waldrop will send to the firing
line three ranking topnotchers in Joe
Freschi, Perce Wolfe and Ollie Pacini
Howard Parsons, who recently rolled
1T and ASS for two all-time Com
mercial League records, Gene Har-
gett and George Honey complete his
crack club.
Three games out in front. resulting
from winning IL games in row, the
Occidentals are cunning for their
fifth match victory tonight. Until
last week the Dixie Pigs had kept
pace with the Occidentals, but the
Baltimore Plaza entry took the wind
out of their sails by upsetting them
three times.
Incidently, the match will bring
together the leagues two high average
men in Freschi and Clarke, both with
over the 1870 mark for the 20 games
rolled.

A Score for Pixlee.

THE triumph over Tulsa was a
= heartening one for the Colonials
and quite a personal victory for Coach
Pixlee and his staff, who did first
class job in yanking the boys from
the doldrums and reviving their ambi-
ton following those crushing defeats
by Alabama and Rice.
Pixlee has been the object OF no end
of criticism by people whom we be-
lieve overestimated by far the po-
tential strength of his squad. But
even these must admit that Possum
Jim pulled the slickest bit of think
ing of the season when he Scrapped
virtually his entire offense and pre-
scented the city with the most sensa-
tional style of play it has seen. Pix
lee captured lot of good from an Ill
wind. His team slammed by Alabama
and licked by Wake Forest, the coach
was confronted with the problem of
attracting customers for four more
games. He solved it with the tricky
formations that kept the Colonials the

season apparently was shot"
In performances against colleges

has Jared exceedingly well. losing only

questionable play.
Yep, there is plenty to be said in
defense Of PiXlee and his Colonials. If
they need any defense. Watching
them conquer Tulsa last night you'd
think they needed none 1t was a
corking foot ball battle, won on merit
and a show with constant high tempo.
Deming Turns Trick.
CAPT. HARRY DEM1NG was the
hero. In the third period the

recovered the ball on Tulsa's 15-yard
line After three plays failed DEM

Tulsa made it's big bid for victory
in the second quarter when the Hurri-
cane advanced from its own 20yard
line to George Washington's z. where
Tuffy Leemans nailed Joe Kahl barely
short of a first down. Kahl was the
outstanding ball runner Of the game.
1t was Kahl who gained most of the
ground on the only long march of the
contest, contributing runs of % and

chunks Of territory. In the third

Field Goal by Deming
Beats Tulsa, 80.
BY ROD THOMAS.

After all the criticism that followed
George Washington's lopsided defeats
by Alabama and Rice Institute, we
may be a little daring today in ap-
praising the Colonials of 1885 as
something of success.
They show record of five victories
against three defeats. Last night they
licked the only "traditional' foe on
their schedule, Tulsa University, by
3 to o, on 21-yard field goal by Capt
Harry Deming.
In their main objective of the cam
paign. which was to give Washington
some interesting foot ball shows, they
have succeeded thunderously, even in
defeat.
The day will come, no doubt. when
George Washington will be. able to
cope with such teams as Alabama and
Rice, but in their present circum-
stances they are comparable to the
good little boxer who fails before big
ger ones of the same stripe.

each player owes it to himself and
to the game to follow not only the
letter, but the spirit of the rules laid
down after more than 100 years Of
trial. Golf under those conditions
would be a better game and much
more fun for every one concerned"
jackson is entirely correct. 1t
