WILD AND WOOLLY
SCRAP EXPECTED
Rivals of Six Campaigns
to Match Spectacular
Styles of Play.

TOOT BALL of the type Wash
- ington crowds have grown to
demand should be on display
tonight in Griffith Stadium
when George Washington and Tulsa
clash at 8 o'clock in their sixth annual
battle. Between 10000 and $4,000 are
expected to watch this final night at
traction of the current grid season.
George Washington and Tulsa, warm
rivals after meeting five successive
years, both are exponents of take-a-
chance foot ball and have no reason
tonight to deviate. Each has burn
ing desire to win and will throw cau-
ton to the winds. Hence one of the
most wild and Woolly" games ever
witnessed in the Capital is in prospect
Jim Pixlee's rejuvenated Colonials
adopted the unorthodoX Wide-open
style of offehse only recently, but in
three short weeks have come a long
way toward perfecting an attack, the
like of which no District college eleven
ever attempted. But Tulsa has been
playing foot ball in this manner for
it to Washington in 1881 when the
Hurricane fattened G. w. by "a to
2 in the second game of the series.
Oilers Are Favored.
TULSA, though, having suffered
- rough treatment from some of its
earlier foes. is favored tonight. Ac-
cording to close observers the Hurri-
cane is a stronger outfit than year
ago when G W. won by 100. while
the local team is below its 1884 form.
According to the line-upS an
nounced this morning, each team will
present seven players who saw action
in last years contest. For George
Washington they are Tuffy Leemans,
Frank Kavalier and George jenkins,
backs. and Capt. Harry Deming, Red
Rathjen, Ray Hanken and Sid Kolker,
linemen. For Tulsa they are Capt
Tack Dennis, Joe Kahl and Russell
McLane backs, and Red Chapman,
Dallas Hutchinson. Jerry Collins and
Ed Cooper, linemen.
While the game doesn't figure by
any means to be defensive battle,
the decision may rest simply on the
superiority of one team in frustrating
the others similar style of offense.
Both teams are quite certain of throw
ing every weapon into the contest, so
If no luck is involved the team with
the better defense appears bound to
win. A free-scoring contest is not at
all unlikely.
Dennis Is Crack Back
EOR George Washington, Tuffy Lee
mans, George Jenkins, Herb
Reeves, Harry Deming, Red Rathjen
and Sid Kolker are expected to bear
the burden. However, there are no
exceptions to a general attitude OF
determination among the Colonials
and it may be some unsung lad who
turns out to be G. W's hero.
Leemans, by the way has gained
589 yards in l02 carries this year for
an average gain of nearly six yards
Since donning the Buff in 1888 he
has gained a total of 2.244 yards in
451 carries for an average of nearly
five yards.
Capt. Dennis, one of the finest full
backs ever to perform locally, heads
Tulsa'S attack. He is a kicker who
boots 'em out of bounds in the coffin
corner a passer who tosses coolly
and accurate at so yards and a run
ner who can sweep the ends or slam
into the line with equal facility. On
defense he backs up the line.
Left Tackle Chapman and the
guards. Collins and Cooper, are vet
Grams of the G. W. feud and also are
expected to provide trouble for the
PiXleemen; likewise little Joe .Kahl,
midget scat-back, who has succeeded
the great "Skeeter" Berry as Tulsas
chief open-fleld threat.
George Washington enjoys a weight
advantage both in the line and back
field. The ColonialS average 1879 as
unit, 1875 in the line and 1872 in the
backfield. The respective figures for
the Hurricane are 1873, 191 and 168.
Preceding the main attraction the
Georgetown and Northeast Boys Clubs |
teams will meet at o'clock in a |
Junior Colonial League game.
