"OLE MISS" FAVORED OVER GEORGE WASHINGTON TONIGHT

University of Mississippi's stall
wart football eleven which bowed
to Temple in a gripping, driving
battle of the gridiron will take
the field tonight against George
Washington University at Grit
fifth Stadium in a game that
promises to test both teams to
the limit.
The Rebels" a name which
the Ole Miss boys chose for
themselves, are a slight favorite
in the betting around town.
They are in good condition and
their practices at Camp Let's
has been most impressive.
The Hapes boys, Clarence and
Ray, are two great backs. Ray
HapeS, the little fellow, ran the
Flying Cardinals of Catholic Uni.
versity almost out of their shoes
in the Orange Bowl game at
Miami. He is perhaps the best
broken-field runner in all the his
tory of Mississippi. He was .
flash against the Catholic l.
team on running back kicks and
he gained a total of so yards
from scrimmage in 10 trys.
Clarence Is Giant
Clarence Hapes is a giant. He
stands six feet three inches in
height and weighs $50 pounds.
He is a great punter and ter
rifle blocker. Any time Ole Miss
needs three or four yards the
quarterback gives the ball to the
big guy, and that's that.
The Hapes boys however, are
not the only ones upon whom
fame has placed its hand. Dave
Bernard is back behind the line
at quarterback. This boy weighs
100 pounds and is built close to
the ground. He was a former
fullback and in that capacity led
the interference phalanx of the
Red and Blue. He comes pretty
close to being tops in this essen
tial department of football.
Ranging at end and tackle re-
spectively, we find Buster Poole
and Bruiser Kinnard. Down there
in Mississippi they call Poole the
Natchez Juggernaut and that just
about tells the story. Poole weighs
225 pounds and stands over feet
2 in his socks. He carries his
bulk like a lightweight.
Kinnard is just about as big and
just about as fast. All told the
Mississippi team is regarded as one
of the best in the schools history.
Against such opposition, the
George Washington team, which
admittedly is vastly improved over
the 1885 eleven, hopes to carry the
Buff and Blue to victory. George
Washington is not at all disturbed
over the weight and known speed
of the visitors, who whirl out OF
the Warner double wing and sin
gle wing into single and double
reverses that put terrific pressure
on the outside areas.
If the ColonialS went Just
little deeper in their reserve power
Jim PiXlee and Bill Renha"l
would feel little Apprehension Cl
the outcome of the battle.
Backs Are Good
If it comes to a question Of man
power, and most football games
are decided upon that basis in
these days, the Colonials may Suf-
fer. In first line strength, with
Hanken, Dale Prather, Rebholz
and the rest of those fighting
youngsters in position. George
Washington will not suffer by COM
parison.
The Colonial backfield, with
jenkins. Herb Reeves, joey Kauf-
man, Vic Sampson and the others,
will more than pass the most
rigid inspection.
AS a matter of fact, Sampson
will duel with the meteoric Hapes
on even terms. Sampson has been
a flash for George Washington in
the games thus far and has
already taken the place of Tuffy
Leemans in the affections of the
George Washington undergraduate
body. He can thread his way
through a broken field with the
best backs around here, and do
about everything else that good
halfbackS can do.
