down the Colonial defenses. Hall
invaded as an all-America candidate
and he left without disturbing the
opinions and consciences of his touters.
He passed. ran, kicked and defended
like an all-America and he did it
for nearly so bruising minutes.
Colonials Put Up Fight.
George Washington clearly was OUT
1ayed, but the score might have been
closer. 1t gives no inkling of tho
terrif1c fight put up by the Colonials
before they went down, divorced from
their unbeaten, united and unscored-

Of the first half when, clearly over
powered. they brought the crowd to
its feet with their courageous de-
fepsive stand.
George Washington was headed for
trouble and disaster from the start,
but 1t was STAYED OF until the kick
on, opening the second half, was
sent spinning down the field to the
Rebels. Here, starting from their
20-yard line, the Ole Miss men began
the victory march. In five plays,
marked by slashing thrusts over the
tackles and by Halls well-executed
passes, the Rebels reached the 25-yard
line. On an end run Hall picked
up 10 yards. On q reverse Jimmy
Tillman made 8 and on a 5-yard pen

Hall Throws Long One.

again. Two line thrusts by Hall picked
up = first down. Then Hall faded
