District League
Comes ToCIose

With the high average battle
between Joe FreSchi, of Grand
Central Valet and Joe Harrison,
of Occidental Restaurant, intensi-
flying the threeclub pennant race
to the finish wire, many exciting
moments are promised tonight as
the curtain falls on the District
Duckpin League campaign.
Deadlocked for first place, o.
cidental Restaurant and Heurich
Brewers will shoot it out at Con-
vention Hall. A 81 decision for
either club will in all likelihood
give it the 1886 title. Grand
Central, one game behind the
leaders, must sweep Arcadia to
have a look-in on the champion
ship.
Winning on total pinfall is the
Mike Rinaldi's only hope. The
match is at Arcadia.
Freschi after losing the lead to
Harrison two weeks ago, came
back to regain a 33-pin lead last
week when he shot $50 against
339 for the defending champion.
Should Freschi roll his average
tonight Harrison must shoot away
over 400 to stand a chance to win
the title for the third consecutive
year, a feat that stands only to the
credit of Harry KrauSS, one of the
Capitals duckpin immortals.
The pennant race in the Ladies
District League was again dead
locked today between Lucky Strike
and RoSSlyn as a result of last
nights matches which witnessed
the Virginians tripping Northeast
Temple twice while the Luckies
were dropping the odd skirmish to
Arcadia.

BY FRANK "BUCK" o,NEILL


The shooting star that blazeS
across the heavens, or the grid
iron, is followed by another Of
equal brilliance. Take the case Of
AlphonSe fluffy" LeemanS, the
Bounding Beige of George WASH
ington University. You remember
Tuffy. He used to cut and run
and dodge. Used to score touch
downs. And when he went the
way of all undergraduates they
said that there never would be
another like him.
That, as we said, was last year.
Now there's kid out there named
Vic Sampson. and he's a halfoack.
He's not the biggest guy in the
world, but he has the ideal legs
for a runner. You know the Kind;
they're just long enough to reach
the ground. And when he starts
using them. things happen.
Races 80 Yards for Score
Sampson electrified the specta-
tors, more than 1000 Of them at
Griffith Stadium last night, rae
ing 80 yards for touchdown in
one of the most brilliant runs
ever seen on any gridiron as the
Colonials Swamped Elon College,
80 to 0. Jim Abbott sent one OF
his left-footed drives screaming
down the field and Sampson took
it on his own 10-yard line.
In front Of him the Blue inter-
ference formed swiftly. There was
a time that the Blue interference
did not form swiftly. In fact it
did not form at all, but that is
another story.
This interference did form in
the approved Reinhart and Pixlee
manner, and Sampson, side STEP
ping the ends who sought to
tackle him, cut into the center
area, picked up his blockerS and
ran to glory.
It was not anything Of a sur
prise that the Colonials slaugh-
tered the North Carolina Confer
ence champions. For one half,
however, the Tarheels offered
valiant resistance. Then the
weight and all around superiority
of George Washington man power
asserted itself. The score at half
time was IL to 0. The final score
as you know was 80 to 0.
Improved Team
The George Washington team
is vastly improved in a weeks
time, but we will want to see it in
action against the Red and Blue
clad legions of Ole Miss on next
Friday night before we go into
ecstasies. If we we're to hazard
a guess, however, we would say
that the Buff and Blue right now
could beat last years eleven in
handy style.
Joey Kaufman played slashing
ball in the backfield. He didn't
pick his openings too well, but he
ran with power. Reeves hit like
a trip hammer, and jenkins was
a good field general.
That strong side of the G. w.
team on attack-that'S the right
side-was strong and took care OF
all assignments nicely. The block
ing was very good. incidentally.
when Sampson was running loose,
Berry and Renzaglia cut down
