zip, against odds, that in itself ex-
cited gathering of more than $1,000
The scoring: In the opening period
Quarterback Rawlings of Arkansas ran
back punt 20 yards to G. WIS 80,
whereupon Halfback Sloan passed to
End Hamilton who in turn tossed the
ball to Guard Gilmore who crossed the
goal. But the attempted lateral to
Gilmore, running ahead of Hamilton,
was illegal and the play was called
back. On the next thrust Sloan
heaved to Rawlings for 25-yard gain
and the five remaining yards to
touchdown were achieved on 3-yard
line smash by Sloan and pass by
Woodworking Sloan, passer, kicker and
runner, to End Benton. Throughout
the game Sloan carried on in place of
Jack Robbins, rated the best pigskin
HEAVIER on the Arkansas team, who
was benched with an injury. B. A.
Ownen, guard, missed for the first
time this season boot for extra point.
A 20-yard runback of a punt by
Herb Reeves gave George Washington
an opportunity to get even, in the
same quarter, with Reeves planting the
ball on the Arkansas 25-yard line.
Runs joey kaufman and Jay Turner
made first down on the Razorbacks' 10
and after Kaufman picked up another
yard on line play joey passed to
Reeves for touchdown. Bob Canning
kicked wide to muf the extra point.
All the scoring occurred in the first
half. George Washington won the
game in the second period with a
touchdown for which Turner was
largely responsible. He intercepted
pass by Sloan and galloped % yards
ito Arkansas 10. Little Vic Sampson,
the Colonial speed specialist, got nine
on the next play; Turner hit for a
yard and first down, Sampson was
stopped at the line and on second down
the bull-like Turner charged across
the goal. This time Canning's extra
point kick was perfect, and there the
issue was settled, as it turned out with
the score, 1876.
Pixlee Guesses Right.
RUT only carefully laid plan, very
likely, prevented a tie score in
the end. With a few minutes to 20.
Tommy Thomson, Arkansas coach,
played his last ace in the form of
Halfback Allen Keen. Keen was pro-
nounced by Jean Sexton, G. w. scout
and freshman coach, one Of the hot
test running backs he ever saw, but
Arkansas doesn't go in for the run
ming game. All through a rainy eve
ming the Razorbacks used the for
ward pass as basic play, in spite Of
a ball that was like a watermelon
seed. Nine-tenths of the losses were
made by Sloan and in nearly 40.
throws, about the Razorbacks' average,
he chucked only one that sailed
noticeably from the mark
With few minutes to 60, Keen en-
tered the contest and reeled off a.
yard run that put the oval on George
Washington's 1-yard line. Some of
the Colonial adherents were crest
fallen, with a touchdown and defeat
imminent.
Possum Jim PiXlee prevailed. Four
men, working alternately, were to
make life tough for an evening for
Arkansas 215-pound and capable CEN
ter, Kenneth Lunday, Pixlee judging
that the Razorbacks' famous aerial
attack might be hampered by erratic
chucks from the snapperback.
Big Boy Takes Beating.
"a FTER nearly 60 minutes of pound
ing from weinberg, Stapleton,
Haringer and Cottingham, Lunday
was not quite his efficient self when
Arkansas got its golden chance. With
q yard to go for victory or tie, his
timing slipped little and tumble
and a near-fumble by Keen of
consequence lost precious yards
for the RaZorbacks.
On a fourth down Sloan chucked
TO Flankman Hamilton, standing on
the goal line, but the leather skidded
from his fingers.
AS in G. WIS game with Mississippi,
It was q difficult evening to play foot
ball, and considering the Razorbacks'
propensity for passing the break in
the weather may have been against
them. But we still are of the thought
that G. w. presents far better foot
ball team than some of the observers
grant, and incidentally, the William
son national rating system, which
called the turn on G.. w. and Missis-
sippi last week, was close last night.
It favored Arkansas slightly, but
granted George Washington chance
to tie, and the latter result was held
remote by many.
