who did not see the game, just
what the 10000 missed. There Is
no doubt but that last nights
game must go down in grid history
as one of the greatest and most
sensational games ever played, in
Washington or elsewhere, If not
the most sensational! Victory on
the very last play!
About one-third of the second
quarter had been played when the
Colonials went into a 7-to-0 lead.
The touchdown play was Sensa-
tional to an extreme degree. "Su-
perlative" is the only word which
describes it!
G. w. had come into possession
of the ball at the Colonial 40 and
Reeves, on a spread formation left
end sweep, had gained nine yards.
Again G. w. took its spread, a
formation which bothered Wake
Forest all night. Reeves started
as if on a right-end sweep. Sud-
denly he stopped and hurled the
leather far down the field, to the
Wake Forest 14-yard line to be
exact Here, canny jenkins, out
whiting Wake Forests defensive
left halfback, grabbed the ball and
dashed across the Deacon goal
line. 1t was beautiful play, beau
tifully executed. Canning goaled
from placement.
Wake Forest, badly outweighed
but far from outgamed, got down
to business with a startling sudden
ness right after the final canto got
under way. Dial Morris, a sterling
halfback, snatched punt at his
own 45-yard line and dashed heller
SHELTER down the Sideline and
across G.. WIS goal-line for touch
down. Goal from placement failed,
and G.. w. remained in front, 7
to 6. It was a 55-yard run.
Wake Forest, showing superb
courage despite rather bad grid
iron luck, stuck to its guns. The
stark courage of the Deacons was
rewarded after it had been tested
for another nine minutes, and
tested very severely.
Wagner Grabs tumble
Wagner, a Deacon alert, grabbed
a tumble, made by Kaufman, and
Wake Forest had the ball at
G. WIS 33-yard line. Morris picked
up yard hitting into the line. The
Deacons now pulled a neat trick
on G. w. They executed a "fol'
low reverse" Kitchin to Morris.
and the latter picked up IL yards
at G.. WIS right wing. Daniel, full
back, crashed the line for about a
yard and a half. Then came an
other sensational play.
Shore, a cagey TANKER, was
down across G.. WIS goal line in
quick fashion. He was beyond
Kaufman, and in the end zone.
Kaufman jumped high to tick
Daniels pass, and the ball car
omed off Kaufman's finger tips
into Shores arms. Shore made a
great catch, and the DeaconS were
in the lead. IL to 7. Goal from
placement was missed, leaving the
count at IL to 7. and it looked as
if G.. w. once more was to fall
victim to the little valiantS from
Wake Forest, N. C.
There followed the remarkable
minute and so seconds of sheer
determination which gave G.. w.
a remarkable victory, and one
which will long be remembered
by those fortunate enough to have
witnessed the game.
Just as an illustration of coura-
geouS Wake Forests bad gridiron
luck:
Early in the third chapter,
Kaufman fumbled and one of
Wake Forests little giants seized
the ball at the G. w. IS. On the
first play, Kitchin, trying to pass,
lost IS. On fourth down, after
forward. Daniel to Shore, had
put the leather at G.. WIS 26-yard
stripe. Daniel heaved one, which
was good for an apparent touch
down The ball was called back
and the DeaCons set back yards
for offSide. 1t was heartbreaker
for the Deacons, and would have
stopped cold a team with less
courage.
1t was a great game, and 1t
brought one fact: Football does
develop those qualities which we
as a nation admire and which
formal education seems unable to
t touch.
