hold water. Even a political
moocher can be stopped by eff.
eient management.
Some of the $4,S00,0OO,0 900 ap-
propriated by the Congress for
Public Works projects could be al
lotted to construct this stadium,
which from time to time has been
advocated by forward thinking cit
liens. The limited capacity of
Griffith Stadium, laid out for pur-
poses of baseball, renders it un-
suited to the true needs OF this
city.
It Is true that a vast majority
Of the 10000 spectators, who
made up a record crowd in foot
ball for this city turned out in
the hope of seeing George Wash.
ington win. But as the Dixie Tidal
Wave rolled over the turf, destroy
ing all semblance of worth while
resistance by its victims, the crowd
remained to marvel at the eff
cheney Of the team and the direct
ing genius of Frank Thomas, the
Crimson Tides great coach.
Never was a game between
representative teams more con-
vincingly won than his struggle
between Alabama and the Colo
malls. The local team felt the
backlaSh of Alabama'S fury fol
lowing the game with Howard.
The ambition of the Tide is to
be invited to the Rose Bowl
again this year. The boys know
that they have lot Of football
to play to overcome the stigma
Of that contemptuous 7-to-7 tie
with Howard.
COlonialS Stopped Dead
We had heard whispers that
George Washington had a new
shift that was calculated to BAN
boozle the 'Bama Tide. No doubt
this was true. There was slight
difference between what the
whisperers impaired and what
the chart of the game shows.
Not once did the ColonialS carry
the ball past midfield. They
kicked it beyond the 50-yard line,
and once Saturelli recovered
tumble on Alabama's 35-yard line
Not once did George Washington
threaten to score.
The terrific defense Of the Tide
thundered over the neutral zone
The ends crashed, converging on
LeemanS, the tackles counted one
beat and crossed at right angles
to the line of scrimmage. protect
ing the outer zone. There was
fine coordinated defense in which
rush line backs and the wings
participated. To students Of foot
ball this was inspiring. What
pangs were suffered on the
George Washington bench Can
only be imagined.
Let us briefly review the touch
downs made by Alabama. Tht
first was made after Leemans hac
punted to the Tides 8-yard line
In two plays Stapp ran to the 40
yard line. A pass from Riley
smith to Bryant put the ball or
the 11.yard line and directly Smith
was over the goal line, crowninl
a march down-field of 90 yards
Riley ran 65 yards after catching
q punt with his interference pick
ing him up in fine style.

The third touchdown ate up a
yards and NeSbitt scored. Tht
touchdown in the third perioc
spanned 81 yards with NeSbitt
again counting. Both touchdown!
in the fourth period were made
on 45-yard drives. In this perioc
Kilgrow passed to H. walker fol
a 42.yard gain and Rohrdani
scored. These marches called fol
coordinated power, called fol
merciless might that thrilled
while it chilled.
The next major objective game
Of the Colonials is with Rice In

coming game. Rice Showered thu
