- perry little halback. Vic Sampson
but Sampson, bruised in the game
With Elon q week ago, was withheld
from the contest. This, however, may
not have been a great handicap, for
the brilliant little ball lugger of the
other side, Ray Hapes, could go no
place important.
And the Colonials ran into totally
unexpected hazard. Armando Saltu-
reli, snapperback, whose passing was
high-grade in G. WIS victories over
Emory and Henry and Elon, found
the oval q creased porky and nearly
ruined the Colonial cause with erratic
passes. In the second quarter he was
relieved by a sophomore who never
before had played center in regular
mpetition-Albert Haringer. Four
days ago Haringer, in practice,
switched from guard. It seems now
he will be a center henceforth.
Sincerely sympathizing with Saltu-
selli was Mississippi's 235-pound full
back, Clarence Hapes.

afterward, whether was handling
Q foot ball or a cake of wet soap.
There wasn't much chance in there
for q taking fullback. a guy whose
effectiveness depends plenty on fancy
handling of the ball. A painted foot
ball, wet, is wicked thing to catch
or hold It's worse than just an ordi-
nary wet ball"

but neither team moved within easy
scoring distance. The Colonials made
probably the closest bid for victory in
the very first minute when big Dale
Prather, tackle, essayed a 31-yard
field goal which was blocked, with
Ole Miss recovering on it's "a. Ray
Hanken, flankman who justified pre-
dictions that he would be one of the
finest ends hereabout this season, gave
G. w. this opportunity by blocking
Billy Mann's punt and recovering on
Mississippi's 81.
George Washington presented about
the strongest combination of ends it
has owned under the regime of Pixlee.
Hanken was superb, but Allen Holt and
Pete YurwitZ weren't far behind.
None Of the Rebel backs skirted the
TANKS. Even Ray Hapes, trying seri-
ously for All-America honors, couldn't
gain outside.
Mississippis great tackle, Bruiser
Kinard, was taken well in hand by
Hanken and Frank Merka, blocking
back. Most of George Washington's
gains were made through or around
Kinard's side of the line. The longest
run Of the game was Herb Reeves
d9-yarder which was made possible
through the checking Of Kinard and
Ole Miss giant left end, Buster Poole.
Merka Okay in Clutch.
THE Colonials were In desperate
= straits at the start of the second
quarter when Merka's punt from be-
hind the goal was detected and went
outside on g. WIS 20-yard line. Merka
received a low pass on the fourth
down and that he got the kick away
ut all was commendable. It was a
sure enough crisis, for blocked kick
surely meant safety or a touchdown
for Ole Miss.
The Rebels were held for downs IL
yards from the goal, 5-yard loss on
q tumble by Ray Hapes proving q
1ife-saver for G. w.
The rest of the action took place in
the middle spaces. Mississippi scored
six first downs to G. WIS three and
outgained the Colonials from scrim-
mage. 971a yards to g. VS. 81, but
the Colonials lost only II yards from
