Classroom FIops May Ruin

BY BILL DISMER, JR.

Oy 01AA DlSm6n, IN.
Unreasonable, but timely is the OBJ
servation that George Washington S
football players daily are scrimmag-
ing an opposition which may make or
break the Colonial eleven of 1888. To
be sure, Coach Bill Reinhart ended
spring training nearly a fortnight
ago, but his gridders still aren't as
prepared as they might be at this stage
Of the year.
For unless this foe is overcome, all
the time and labor spent In spring
training will 60 for naught. And al
though this present opponent would
be the last to hurt G. W.'s '3s chances
Intentionally. it can wreck Colonial
football prospects next fall with a
mere stroke Of the pen.
In short, it's the George Washing
ton faculty-and its duty of grading
G. w. gridders scholastically-that is
causing the furrow in Reinharts brow
these days. Potentially he can line up
what promises to be G. W.'s best eleven
In three years next fall, but he's got
to be able to use every varsity candi-
date now in school to accomplish It,
At present. there's considerable doubt
whether all of last years freshmen
who loom as distinct assets on the
varsity will return or be f1unked out
And some Of Reinhart's dependa bles
last year aren't over the PROFESSIONAL
rocks by a long shot.
Backs Abundant.
II all are available. G. w. will have
more backfield material next fall than
ever before. Batson. Satore. Urick
and Wilamoski are four sophomores
who. II they make the scholastic grade
should give Reinhart two complete
oackf1elds for he still can call upon
Jay Turner, Vic Sampson. Frank
Merka, Nick Nicksick and Billy Rich
ardson of varsity experience. The
last-named, incidentally, learned quite
lot in spring practice which he
showed he didn't flash in '38. Rein
hart's only radical shift will be the
transfer of Bob Nowaskey back to his
old post at end after a season of ex-
Fermentation in the backfield. JOHNNY
Jones will shift to center from tackle
II Al Haringer doesn't recover, but
those are the only changes seen as a
result OF spring practice.
On the whole. Reinhart declares his
talent is more widely distributed than
at any time since he has been at
G. w. But he still can't dictate to
professors and therein lies his biz
worry.

Maryland Shows Strain,
Maryland's nine plainly showed the
strain OF six games in six days when
the Terps dropped their third straight
and third in two days-yesterday at
Williamsburg. That they were .up
against the real Mccoy of college
pitching is seen in the fact that Bob
Burns single in the sixth was the only
thing that kept Rosy Waugh, Indian
ace, from a no-hit game. Marylands
lone run came in the ninth without
benefit Of hit, Waugh himself max
ing the first of two errors which al
lowed the Maryland score. But
Waugh was as much of villain other
wise as he could be, leading the Will
liam and Mary attack with three hits.
The winners collected 10 off Pitchers
George Wood and Joe Crisafulli, who
switched from backstop to the pitch
ing mound.
The day was not a total loss for
Maryland athletes, however, as its
tennis team upset one Of the finer COL
leglate squads of the South, that of
Duke. by 6-3 score. Allie Ritzenberg
and Nathan Askin kept their singles
record undefeated by turning back
Dukes Nos. and 2 players. It was
sweet revenge for Ritzenberg to beat
Merchant in three sets, as Merchant
was the one who had eliminated Allie
IN the last national parks tournament,
incidentally, Bob Doyle-Lou's son
accounted for one Of Dukes two sim
gles victories and played on the vis-
itors' only winning doubles team.
