The Washington times., 1936-09-26

lar above the SCanuarQ OF Lne
The more powerful Colonials
won the game handily enough,
with the totals resting at 81 to O..
The score last year was IL to 0 in
favor of George washington.
The Colonials scored 13 points
in the first period, but lapSed in
the second quarter and were held
scoreleSS. They took up the matter
of counting again in the third and
right impressive they were.
There is no Tuffy LeemanS on
the Colonials this year, but if last
nights game be accepted as a fair
criterion, the passing of the
bounding Beige has worked to the
benefit of the team. Perhaps the
boys feel that they can't leave it
for Tuffy. Perhaps the boys last
night were stimulated by the tang
of early fall in the air, or maybe
the presence of the crowd helped.
In any event, the entire play was
commendable.
NeW OuIOEL1S
George Washington made one
splendid change this year. Those
atrocious peppermint stick uni
forms that should be sent to Ring
ling Brothers or maybe the Clyde
Beatty show have been discarded.
George Washington took the field
last night in blue jerseys with buff
numbers sewed front and back.
Knit woolen breeches of buff, blue
stockings and white helmets COM
pleted the uniform.
One of the strongest features OF
the game was the splendid punt
ing of Vic Sampson. Twice IN the
course of the evening Sampson
drove the ball out of bounds on
the Emory-Henry 3-yard line, or
thereaboutS. Frank Merka also
kicked nicely, shaving the line on
at least one occasion with not
more than two yards to spare.
Merka's kick was a sharply-angled
drive that scooted away from the
Gold and White receivers as If
shot from gun. Turner kicked
strategically.
The power of the George Wash
ington attack is attested in the
marches for touchdowns. The
first score came after a trek OF
81 yards, the second after a hike
of 81 yards and the third after 60
ing AZ yards.
WeIlBaIanced Line
Deploying in balanced line with
the ends flexed a little, the back
field formed in z alignment. In
certain plays the backs shifted
into a short punt formation. Sew
eral times the Buff passed from
the short punt formation. Reeves
and jenkins, thrower and receiver
respectively, formed a potent pass
combination. One pass, Burnham
to Fairs, was good for h2lf the
length of the field and a touch
down.
The right side of the George
Washington line was ragged. The
defense was cleaned out neatly
during the scoring marches. Del
Prather was strong defensively
BY and large there was certain
lack of smoothness that will be
corrected before Elon College
comes out of North Carolina next
week to serve as markers in the
George Washing ton advance.
Armando Salturelli, reserve
center, showed to good advantage
and Harold Schiering was i'm
pressive at tackle. The several
backs in the Buff combinations
ran with a lot of power.
Herb Reeves put a lot of drive
into his plays, and picked up speed
nicely just as he was about to be
tackled. Before we can write rave
notices of the Colonials, however,
we will have to see them opposed
by opponents of greater power.
The forward pass furry of the
Emory-Henry team in the last
minute ate up distance, but failed
to score.
Jeeter Barker was big boy,
weighing 1873 pounds. but most of
the other visiting backs were light.
Their attempts at blocking lacked
authority.
