PLOTN|CK| READY
FOR TULSA GAME
Shoulder Healed, Back May
Work With Leemans for
G. w. Tomorrow Night.

~ EORGE WASHINGTON'S
chances of repeating its 1884
victory over its traditional
~ rival, Tulsa, tomorrow night
in Griffith Stadium were given real
boost today with the discovery that
Ben Plotnicki. veteran triple-threat
halfback, has recovered sufficiently
from a shoulder injury to see service.
Plotnicki, who is the only other Co
lonial back besides Tuffy Leemans who
carries threat of running, kicking or
passing when he occupies the deep
position in the backfield, reported that
he now can throw the ball without pain.
For the past 10 days the sturdy little
South Bend Pole had not been able to
unlimber his arm because Of a blow
to his shoulder sustained in practice.
He didn't even "suit up" for last week
engagement with Davis and Elkins and
until this morning still was thought
unlikely to get into action against the
Golden Hurricane.
Whether or not Ben starts tomorrow
night. his availability alone means
plenty to the Colonials. In shape to
60, he could relieve Leemans from the
manifold duties of the tail-back il
necessary or he could replace George
Jenkins at left half ana team with
Tuffy in the throwing and receiving
of passes. AS a pass thrower Plotnicki
qualities with a smooth, bulletlike toss,
and he can catch 'em with the best.
Tulsa was dealt blow last night
when its reliable second-string quar-
terback. Beverly Carmack, was re-
mo"ed from the possibility of per-
forming by an operation for append
icitis. The stricken Tulsa lad was
rushed to the George Washington
University Hospital from the Hurri-
canes temporary base at Manas-
sas, Va.
Coach Elmer Henderson has re-
vealed other woes, stating that his
big center, Ham Harmon, might not
start because of injuries received last
week, and that Harold Wickersham,
Tulsa's best blocking back, might
still warm the bench due to a leg
injury suffered early in the season.
Seven of the invaders battled the
Colonials in 1884, most notable of
them being Titanic Tack Dennis,
captain and fullback, and Red Chap
man, 197-pound left tackle. The others
are Ed Cooper and Jerry Collins,
guards; Dallas Hutchinson, 20s-pound
right tackle; Mack Lane, and Joe
Kahl, 149-pound "scat-back" who has
taken over the duties performed by
the great "Skeeter" Berry. Berry and
Dennis received all-American men
tion last year along with that other
Tulsa star, Rudy Prochsska. one of
the finest centers ever to trod Griffith
Stadium.
In a preliminary starting at z
o'clock tomorrow night the George
town and Northeast Boys Club 100
pound teams will meet in the Junior
Colonial League. The main attraction
will start at 8 o'clock.

A IL that's left of Puffy Forth

Terror clutches at Catholic
University's foot ball team Saturday at
Griffith Stadium in the Cardinal home
coming game.
But there's lots of Puffy left-225
pounds of him, in fact-still that leaves
him a bean pole compared with the
Puffy who started the foot ball season.
In early September young Forth
man. who halls from Waynesboro, Pa,
reported for grid practice weighing
275 pounds. Coach Charley Havens
frowned, for Puffy was warned last
Spring that no 275-pounder would
have a place on the Western Mary
land team.
Havens again reminded the youth OF
that fact and threatened to withhold
o uniform.
Puffy promised to shrink, starting
then and there. 1t was slow going, out
on the day the Terrors opened the
campaign he weighed a little more
than $50. Still displeased, the coach
used him for only two minutes against
Shenandoah.

stride before they face an old foe in

The game is to raise funds for a field

to get into the stadium. The stu
dents, instead of paying thei usual SIS
cents. also will pay s2.20.

Speeds reconnaissance took him
over a wider range than he had
expected. When he paused, half
way down lofty slope, it was
to survey long and unobstructed
view of white headlands, shining
in the dawn. In the center of
one of the ravines, about two
miles away, pair of dark moving
specks came into view. They
were men; one of them carried
what might be rifle.
Very slowly, so as not to betray
himself by quick movement, he
sank in the snow. The advantage
of view down on them from

They were too far to be recog-
nized as anything but men, but
the image of Fallon had somehow
leaped into his minds eye at the
first dim glimpse of them.
He lay along the base of a
boulder, raising his head just high
enough to bring the figures into
view. He fired the gun once, at
random in their direction, and i'm

even wisp Of smoke from show

They kept moving for an inter
val before the sound reached their
ears. They stopped, as he had ex-
pected. But instead Of looking up
in his general direction, they turn
ed to stare the other way.
Yet, in spite of the advantage
this gave him for observation,
some vague and nameless instinct
made him sink back out of sight
between the boulder and snow
trough. This wary sense did not
leave him; but after lying hidden
some thirty seconds, he looked
over the rim again. Strange to
say, the two figures had vanished.
Slowly he rose into clear view
by the boulder, to tempt them to
declare themselves with bullet.
The shot that did come was an
utter and confounding surprise.
The roar of it burst in his ears
from directly behind him! He
dropped back instantly into his
shelter. The bullet had flattened
against the inner side of the boul-
der right next to his arm, in the
