Jim Pixlee looked at a chart
presented for his inspection by
Bill Reinhart.
The marks and dots represented
the gains Of North Dakota State
in the game with Western Mary.
land last week in which the Sioux
bowed to the Terrors by score
of 13 to Z.
The Sioux gained enough
ground to build a. boom town in
their native hills, but for all their
gains they couldn't strike touch
down gold.
If they had gone for the whole
game the way they played In those
final Is minutes there would have
been a mighty big difference in
the result of that game"
Mr.. Pixlee shook his head dole
fully. What to do about these
giants Of the great open spaces?
Yes, that was it; what to do?
Weather for NOdaks
"This weather is a great break
for North Dakota" chirped Mis-.
souri, Jim. They've been frozen
in for weeks. They left Fargo in
a snow storm that laid a 10-inch
carpet on the ground. They ex-
pect to find a six-foot blizzard
when they return. It's hard to
practice in the snow, and here
they are in this fine climate. It's
a great break.
"It is likely too, that the boys
held Western Maryland lightly.
The Terrors had been defeated by
Catholic University, and North
Dakota had not been beaten in a
long time. You just can't be
cocky in this game Of football.
western Maryland was in
fighting form. The Sioux scored
the first touchdown, but the Ter
rors came back with two. Still
North Dakota seemed to be con-
fident. But Western Maryland
started to run through and
around Chumlich, who was a good
tackle against us last year. Not
until the final period did North
Dakota really start, and then it
was too late.
They'll probably start early
with u.s." said Mr.. Pixlee and
great salt tears ran down his
cheeks.
Ready for Anything
The Colonials will be ready for
anything the Sioux let loose when
the time comes. Jim Pixlee and
Bill Reinhart have the boys in
better physical trim for this con-
test than at any time this season.
It will be the valedictory game of
Tuffy Leemans, and the boys have
vowed to send the Bounding Beige
on his way amid a shower OF
touchdowns.
This task will be immeasurably
easier if the linemen who are
classified as interferers "for" Lee
mans do their assigned work and
do not interfere with him. Tuffy
is not the fastest runner in the
world, but he looks like a streak
alongside of some Of the boys
who are supposed to clear the
path for him.
Pixlee has worked on t h e
George Washington line with par
ticular attention to detail since
the Tulsa game. The fact that
the Oilers were beaten by a field
goal gives Pixlee Scant thrill. He
had hoped for a couple Of touch
downs.
It Can Be Done
Those parades across the line
will be held if the forwards can
clean out the enemy line. Prince
ton for three years has hiked to
glory against the best in the East,
and other teams have shown that
it can be done. But the unemen
make the backs famous. It is
one of quirks of the game.
George Washington fans look
forward to a real exhibition OF
football by Red Rathjen. This
young man is the best center in
the District in the opinion oil
the writer, and he has some real
competition from Hardy, oi
Georgetown; De Armey, of Mary
land, and Yanchulis, Of Catholic
University. He is not quite as
fast as Robertshaw, Of Navy, but
he is a top notch, high grade
man in his post.
The pressure in this game, as
in other games with major com
petition will be hurled against
the Colonial tackles. II Prathel
and Deming can get across the
neutral zone at top speed and
keep piling into the Sioux attack
all may be well. If the Sioux
get the charge and keep getting
it to establish q definite ad
vantage along the line OF scriln
mage, the game will assume a
vo ct1v different tone.
