North Dakota'S Sioux, no longer
under the strain of keeping a de-
featless record intact, are fairly
exuding confidence with regard
to their Thanksgiving Day clash
with George Washington's Co
lonials in Central High School
Stadium. From Coach C. A.
"Jack" West on down to the low
liest substitute, the colortul In
Vaders have the air of conquerors.
The Sioux defeated George
Washington on an upset last year
and think they will repeat on
Thursday. 1t didn't surprise them
last season when they blocked a
kick and won by to 0. In tact,
Louis Chumich, giant left tackle,
stated before the game exactly
what he would do, and then he
went right ahead and did 1t at the
expense of Tuffy LeemanS, Co
lonial punter.
Stalks Into Gym
Again Chumich appears on the
scene prematurely with the same
degree of self-confidence. YeSter'
day, following a workout in Cen
tral Stadium, the 230-pound Sioux
tackle stalked into George Wash
ington's gymnasium and told Lee
mans and other Colonial players:
"You might as we'll get ready for
it again cause we're gonna block
your kicks just like last year. and
furthermore, you'd better not try
any field goals cause we block
those, too
Leemans and Chumich were
high school rivals in Superior,
Wis, several years ago. Tuffy
grinned at Chumich yesterday and
retorted: Yeah, you'll block our
kickS-but not on that field Thurs,
day-and after the game there
won't be any need for kicks. We're
gonna take you this time and
leave no room for any doubt"
There is no bitterness between
them, but LeemanS and Chum1ct
will give no quarter and ask none
when the two teams meet day
after tomorrow in their closing
1885 game. For Tuffy 1t will be
the last time he will perform for
George Washington ip football
and he has frequently expressed
hope that he will play the best
game of his career. While he is
proceeding, however, he will take
especial delight in it if the result
is a victory over Chumich and his
pals from the land Of Sitting Bull.
Chumich. a candidate for an-Star
honors in the North Central Con
ference, can further his cause by
playing another hang-up game
against the ColonialS.
LeemanS Farewell
Not only Leemans but three
other genuine stars will be making
their farewell appearance in G. w.
uniforms. It is "finis" also for
Capt. Harry Deming, all-time G.
W. tackle and standout in this
region for three years; Kenneth
"Red" Rathjen, who has left little
doubt that he is tops" among
collegiate centers hereabouts this
year, and Sid Kalker, sturdy Wash
ingtonian who has played both
tackle and guard and never been
forced from a game by injury in
three seasons.
Few tackles in the country are
rated superior to Deming. a 22O
FOUNDER who is as agile as a ban
tamweight and who sports kick
ing foot seldom identified with
behemoths of the gridiron. Exactly
four victories for G. w. have beer
won by Deming's field goals in
the past two years, his most re
cent triumph being the Tulsa
game in which he booted 8
pointer at an angle from 31-yardS
out. In 1884 the Sarcoxie (Mo)
husky used his "size II" to sub
due Tulsa, West Virginia and Ok
lahoma.
Excellent Center
Excellent centers are required
to pass smoothly and back up the
line. In these departments Of play
Rathjen has no superior in this
vicinity. Despite the fact that hi
has to pass from 2 to is yards al
varying angles on every play ir
G. WIS spread-formation offenSe
"Red" hasn't shown even a Sigr
of a bobble this year. On defenS|
he was brilliant in G. WIS mos
important games-Alabama, Rice
West Virginia and Tulsa.
