Williams has been a thorn in the

this season, running the ball expertly
around the f1anks and handling the
passing in such a way as to make
the La Sale eleven a powerful over
head threat. In these games, which

honors last week. will divide the prin-
cipal role for G. w. Kaufman prob
ably win start. Theirs Is the job OF
sweeping the flanks, passing and kick

to Elon, they will give Ole Mis- or any
opponent some trouble.
Kaufman gained 119 yards. playing
less than o half against Efon, while
Sampson collected 90 against Elor
and 50 more against Emory and
Henry. Both threw successful passes
and averaged more than 40 yards on
their punts.
Looking at it from another angle
however. George Washington has a
definite problem concerning defen-
sive foot ball The Colonials will
have to present q pass defense far
superior to what they showed against
Elon to break up the heaves Of Clar-
ence Hapes and other Ole Miss toss
ers. The locals were lucky that Flor
didn't score two or three touchdowns
with aerials, for only the inability oi
the Elon receivers to hold onto the
ball in the clear prevented the North
Carolinians from scoring.

written and when the Yankees Vic
tory Dinner was ended the other night
and it was train time you looked back
over the cast in that classic and decid-
ed that Joe Di Maggie was more or less
overlooked.
Most of big headlines that were cap
tured by the Giants involved Hubbell
and Ripple and Fitzsimmons and on
the Yankee side there were Jake Pow
ell and Red Rolfe and Monte Pearson.
The slim youth from San
Francisco was a prominent fig
ure, of course, but somehow he
seemed to have been lost in the
melee of idolatry.
This probably was Injustice in Its
lowest form Powell. for instance,
batted approximately 100 points higher
in the series than Di Maggie, but when
the affair was over you discovered, to
no little amazement, that Di Maggie
had batted .346. that only three other
players on both clubs had outhit him.
and that Joe had done much better
than such men as Gehrig. Dickey,
Terry and Mel OFT.
Tommy Laird Called Turn.
THIS is a pretty good record for a
L kid who is only 81 years old and
playing his first season OF major
league ball, and if you happened to be
one of Joe's bazoo blowers back in
March and April it made you feel
doubly appreciative of what the
youngster had done, and, in the face
of obstacles.
Few major league base ball writer's
had ever heard of Di Maggie, except in
passing reference. as recently as a
year ago when the world series was
being played in Detroit.
You recall vividly the first day
that Di Maggio's name stuck in
your mind because Tommy
Laird, a sports writer from the
West Coast, was sitting In the
press box and talking Of him.
Hes been ready for the big leagues
for over a year," said Tommy. and
when you see him you'll go wild over
him. In fact, I've only seen one player
In this series (Tigers VS.. Cubs, that
has anything on him. I mean that
fellow over there
He pointed to Charley Gehringer
This, indeed, was tribute.
He Overcame Ali Obstacles.
IN THE Spring all the writing boys
in the Yank training camp were
beating ton-toms for Di Maggie, and
many of the base ball writer's from
nearby major league camps went over
to st. Petersburg to look him over
They all agreed he was great-lookine
prospect, and finally Di Mag wound
up as the most publicized rookie In
| history.
That was an obstacle. In the first
place people would expect much :.
too much. Secondly, veterans were
watching a kid, who hadn't played q
game, stealing the national headlines
Mentally they marked him.
Still another obstacle was that
he injured his foot before the
season opened and 1t was not
until late In May that he got
into the lineup.
But when Joe did start playing HI
went to town, as they say. He broke
every freshman major league recore
except that of hitting home runs. HI

knew he was up against it in tackling
the boys from the Old Dominion.
While Central is unbeaten. and its
goal-line uncrossed in two games, the
little soldiers will present far more
formidable opposition than the Blue
and White met in either Gonzaga or
Washington-Lee.
Some comparison Of how the teams
stacked up last year is seen in their
comparative records against COM
, mon foe, Dewitt. Whereas, Central
was lucky to win by last-minute
touchdown which produced 7-6 tri-
umph, Fork Union walked all over the
Black and Gray by 26-0 count in a

Realizing that it will probably be the

this scrappy outfit that may be George
Washington's best foot ball team be-
fore the 1886 campaign becomes his

The young and ambitious Colonials
are going to play strictly an offensive

simply because their attack fails to
match that of Ole Miss. No Pixlee-

Rebels will outweigh the Colonials

have three times as many players
available who have played one or two
years in major competition and they

those taken out.
But none of these items seems to be
worrying George Washington. The
