DETERMINATION WINS FOR C0L0NIALS OVER WAKE FOREST
Kaufman Star
In F adinQ
Minutes
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Well, from a George Washing
ton University standpoint, it
would appear that l minute and
so seconds of downright determi-
nation is worth one football point
more than about a week Of over.
confidence.
In last nights game, the val
iants of little Wake Forest we're on
top, IL to 7, when there remained
only minute and SO seconds of
the contest left to be played. Wake
Forest had just scored what ap-
peared to be the winning touch
down, and had scored it on a SEN
Sational play, a forward pass
which just licked the outStretched
fingers of Kaufman, G. w. back,
and went into the eager but GER
tain arms of Shore, Wake Forest
TANKER and forward pass receiver
extraordinary.
Through those first So minutes
and 10 seconds of the battle-and
battle it was!-the Buff and Blue
players we're suffering from over
confidence. They decided, with
minute and so seconds left to play,
to send in a substitute: Determi-
nation for Overconfidence.
Here's what happened:
l. G. w. received the kickoff
and ran it back nine yards from
the Colonial 35 to the G. w. "A.
2. kaufman cut loose with a
pass to FariS, G.. W. reserve, who
had entered the game, and the ball
was at Wake Forests 32-yard
stripe.
3. kaufman fired a pass, this
one to jenkins, G. w. quarterback,
but it failed, and the ball re-
manned at the Wake Forest 32-yard
line.
Wake Forest Penalized
4. When G.. w. tried another
pass, which was incomplete, Wake
Forest was penalized five yards for
holding, and that hurt the Dea-
cons terribly.
S. Sampson, G. w. backfield
ace, now cut loose with a long
forward heave, which fell out OF
reach of Faris, back Of the Wake
Forest goal line.
6. On G. WIS spread formation,
Sampson, finding no open receiver
for pass, ran sweep right end
run to Wake Forests 1G1a-yard
line, and it seemed that G. WIS
chances for victory went glimmer
ing, but there was time for just
two more plays.
7. kaufman tried pass to
Faris, and it failed; one second left
to play.
8. Now came the sensational
ending to a sensational game, for
Turner, G.. w. back, taking out
ward as he went down the field,
turned sharply inward, made a
perfect catch of a perfect pass
tossed by Kaufman, and literally
drove through two Wake Forest
tacklers across the Deacon goal
line with the winning points.
Thus it will be seen in eight
plays, including four incompleted
passes, C. w. went IS yards to
win! It's difficult to put it in
writing, but you may rest assured
that into those eight plays, G. w.
put 80 days of terrific determine
ton, and a blind man could have
sensed it even though he couldn't
see it.
The final score, 10 to II, does
not accurately reflect the margin
G. w. expected to win by. How
ever, if that score of Is to IL is
studied, by those in on the know.
it proves that G. WIS players, eX-
pecting before the game to win
by "a couple of touchdowns, have
been taught once again that Wake
Forest is not a team to fool around
with.
Marvellous Publicity
That G. W.-Wake Forest affair
was marvellous publicity for G. w.
The 10000 cash customers who
witnessed the game will talk about
it 20 years from now, just as
Georgetown men and the Washing
ton public talk of the 1912 George
town-Virginia game, which ended
in a sensational manner, too.
However, for the next few days,
