$50 victory over Elon College
L last night, George Washing
tons improving foot ball squad today
was contemplating its clash with Mis-
sissippi next Friday night at Griffith
Stadium, the first major attraction Of
the season here.
All the power they used against
Elon and then some, the Colonial
coaches figure. will be necessary to
cope with Ole Miss, rated well among
the Nations gridiron juggernauts.
The Rebels last night dropped 1877
decision to Temple in Philadelphia,
but in so doing lost no prestige.
Mississippi will present hard-run-
ming game much as George Washing
ton did against Elon, but whether the
comparatively inexperienced Colo
malls can penetrate the Rebel defense
as nicely as they did Elons is highly
problematical Continued improve

crease George Washington's chances
considerably over what they were three
weeks ago when few. if any, observers
anticipated the rapid development oi
Jim Pixlee's charges.
Have Two Great Backs
IN RAY HAPES and Ned Peters the
colorful Rebels possess a pair oi
open field runners who will compare
well with the best. Hapes last night
registered his second touchdown gal
lop of more than 80 yards for this
season, making a total of five such
dashes he has chalked up in less than
two years. Peters is the lad who
scampered 81 yards to score against
Catholic University in the Orange
Bowl game last New Year day.
Mississippi's appearance here takes
on added interest because of the com
parison that can be made between
George Washington and Catholic U
The latter defeated the Rebels, 20-1s

SAMPSON turned in the feature
play of the night, aided anc

G. w. team has evidenced since
1888. He took one of Jim Abbitt',
long. high punts on his own nine -yare
line and threaded his way around ano
through the entire invading host to 9
score. He was in tight quarters fol
almost half of the sensational dash
but was clever enough to pick up his
blockers and let them help him along
This they did with decisiveness.
The team, or rather two G. w
teams. gave gratifying show. Pixlee
had two groups of nearly equa
strength, thus being able to make sub

sition. Notable of the better per-
formers were Ray Hanken, whose end
play should gain him plenty of recog-
milton this year: George Jenkins and
Jay Kenslow, who directed their mates
intelligently as quarterbacks: Dale
