BY BURTON HAWKINS.


GREENVILLE, S. c., Nov. S.
George Washington's football team
received an Icy shock under a swell
tering sun here today as powerful
Clemson outfit, gathering momen-
tum as the game aged, justified its
role of favorite by humiliating the
Colonials, 27-0, before a crowd of
10000
Cautioned by Coach Bill Reinhart
that their performance in the OPEN
ing moments of the game would de-
termine the ultimate outcome, the
Colonials saw the wisdom of his
words mirrored on Clemsons first
play from scrimmage. 1t was then
the Tigers gave George Washington
sample of what it could anticipate,
for speedy Banks McFadden skirted
right end, out-maneuvered the G. w.
secondary, and streaked sc yards to
a touchdown.
George Washington never was in
the game as an offensive threat,
moving down to Clemson's 20-yard
line only in the waning seconds of
the game, and Reinhart fruitlessly
inserted several combinations in an
effort to crush the diversified, hard
hitting attack of the Tigers, who
have been defeated this season only
by Tennessee.
Tigers Pour 1t On.
Staked to a 60 lead Immediately
after the kickoff by the spectacular
run of McFadden, 6-foot 3l2-inch
All-Southern Conference basketball
center, Clemson mercilessly poured
it's power into the George Washing
ton line, with its second team out
playing the Colonials when the first
eleven was resting.
Shad Bryant, 160-pound halfback
from Carthage. Tenn. paved the
way to Clemson's second touchdown
late in the first quarter. Intercepting
Vic Simpsons pass on Clemson's Is
when McFadden detected the ball
into his outstretched arms Bryant
returned Is yards to the Tigers 40
and Clemson then began to reveal
its versatility.
With Bryant, Don Willis and Nc
Fadden bearing the brunt of Glenn
sons attack. the Tigers drove to
George Washington's 15-yard line,
Ken Batson delaying Clemson
touchdown at that point by tackling
Willis after he had eluded the re-
mainder of the Colonials. 1t was
small consolation, however, for after
Bob Nowaskey smeared Willis for a
yard loss, McFadden cut inside right
end, reversed his field and ran IL
yards to score. Ben Pearson boosted
the score to 1870 by converting from
placement.
Colonials' Threat is Mild.
George Washington made only a
mild threat in the first quarter,
nudging to Clemson's SO when
Sampson passed II yards to Sam
Babich, but the Colonials wilted in
the second period as Clemson regis
tered its third touchdown.
Backed to its own 21-yard line,
late in the second period after play
had been confined chiefly to its own
territory, George Washington re-
ceived jolt after Batson punted to
Bryant. who was stopped in his
tracks by Nowaskey on Clemson's 20.
Willis picked up yards through
center and then plunged into the
line. Stopped, he lateralled to
Bryant, who ran sc yards to score.
The entire G. w. team was sucked
In on the play at the line and Bryant
had only Tom Grady to outfoot in
the last 40 yards to the goal. Pear
sons conversion buoyed the score
to 300.
The Colonials braced in the third
quarter, twice sTuelching Clemson
scoring bids, but the Tigers struck
again midway in the fourth quarter
for their final touchdown. Backed
to its own 31-yard line when Lud
Urick was tossed for a 15-yard loss
while attempting to pass, George
Washington was forced to punt. I'm
leashing a neat spiral. Batson kicked
to Bryant, who Struggled the ball on
Clemson's IS and romped IS yards
down the sideline to score as his
mates moved down ambitious Co.
lonials.
G. w. Goes Down Scrapping.
The Colonials made their most
serious scoring gesture seconds be-
fore the game ended, advancing
from their own % to Clemson's 20
on a pass from Murphy Booth to
Nowaskey for II yards, an end
around play with Nowaskey on the
business end for 10 yards, and
tricky forward-lateral from Urick to
Bob Faris to Nowaskey.
George Washington's trickest play
developed when Sampson, stopped
at the line, tipped shovel pass to
Guard Icy Weinberg for a gain of
81 yards. Weinberg had moved over
to end on the play, however, and
officials, cautioned by Reinhart be-
fore the game that such play would
be attempted, ruled the play legiti-
mate.
