WIN reIreSnlng V1gor born of deS-
peration and revived hope, George
Washington's remodeled football
team today zealously prepared for
the invasion of Kansas University
Saturday at Griffith Stadium. The
mild earthquake authored by Coach
Bill Reinhart is yielding dividends,
for there is new spirit in the
Colonial camp, predicated on whole
sale shifts designed to remedy fric-
ton within the ranks.
Meantime Catholic University's
improved outfit was in the final
stage of a polishing process in an
ticipation of its attractive Armistice
Day engagement with Miami at
Griffith Stadium, American Univer-
sitys small squad is set for its home
coming game with Haverford Sat-
urday at A. U. field and George
town and Maryland teams were
eager to hop rattlers and head into
the lairs of West Virginia and
Florida, respectively.
The juggled G. w. squad, still
squirming under the severe sarcasm
of the usually complacent Reinhart,
who hardly relished the manner in
which his team absorbed successive
four touchdown defeats from Mis-
sissippi and Clemson, has altered its
attitude. The drastic shake-up has
motivated hectic scrap for jobs,
which have been thrown wide open.
Cause Of Discomfort Removed.
Underlying the trouble at George
Washington has been the eagerness
OF several members of the team to
rearrange the features of one of
their mates, openly accused by them
OF losing courage somewhere along
the line. The feud, which SIM
mered in the Colorado game. nearly
f1ared into riot against Clemson
when that player glanced pleadingly
at the coaching staff after several
plays, requesting to be removed.
The malignant growth of discon-
tent has been removed and George
Washington doubtless will be a more
aggressive team for the operation.
Its steam will be directed at Kansas
this week, since the internal dis
senion appears to have been reme-
died.
Bolstered defensively by the shift
ing of Bob Nowaskey from end to
fullback and Sunny Jones from
tackle to center, the Colonials also
have perked up extensively under
the new set-up. with Ken Batson
now barking signals. Center Tim
SWEET and Halfback Vic Sampson
have been benched, with End Bob
Faris and Tackle Duce Keahy gain
ing regular positions due to the
switching Of Nowaskey and Jones.
Cards in Better Mood.
Measures patterned along the same
line have made Catholic U. more
formidable team, with Pete Sachon
clicking in the quarterback spot, a
previous source of trouble to Coach
Dutch Bergman. Sachon impressed
with his direction of the Cardinals
as they rallied to trim De Paul,
14-13, last week
Catholics game with Miami looms
as one of the outstanding local
attractions Of the season with the
American Legion teaming with the
Cards in presenting a colorful Ar
mistice Day spectacle.
The general impression at George
town is that the Hoyas are heading
into more of battle than appears
on the surface. West Virginia has
been one of the major disappoint-
ments of the gridiron world this
year, but Coach Jack Hagerty feels
the Mountaineers have a much bet
ter team than they have shown and
is hoping that they are not impo-
lite enough TO spring an upset at
this stage of the season.
Georgetown is in excellent condi-
tion, with the return of Jules Kosh-
lap to the backfleld and AL Matuza
to center auguring we'll for its
chances of preserving its undefeated
status. The Hoyas will entrain to-
morrow night for Morgantown and
will hold a light drill there Friday.
Maryland in Best Trim.
In better trim physically than it
has been since the season started,
Maryland will invade Gainesville
with fond hope of registering its
second victory. Florida has won
only two games from minor foes and
has lost to Stetson, Mississippi State,
Miami, Boston College and Georgia
while trimming Sewanee and
Tampa.
American University's homecom-
ing finds favored Haverford in
vading. Haverford has disposed of
Susquehanna, Allegheny and Ham
ilton and dropped games to Wes-
leyan, TO. and Johns Hopkins, 7-6.
