LAWRENCE, Kans., Nov. ia
ing to hang its headgear on a win
ming peg after two successive set
backs, George Washington's high
geared gridmen struck twice with
split-second rapidity to hand Kan
sas lat defeat in their intersec-
tional game today.
Before some 5000 fans the Co.
lonials lashed out with a stunning,
wholly unexpected forward-lateral
pass combination that gobbled up
48 yards and produced the games
first score early in the initial period
Then. intent on clinching the laurels,
1t came back with a paralyzing
power drive at the outset of the sec
ond half and marched 10 yards for
the points that sealed Kansas fate.
The Jayhawks scored early in
the final quarter, aided by a pen
atty for pass interference, and in
the waning moments of the fray
filled the air with passes in vain
attempt to knot the count.
Kansas Passes Worry G. w.
Bob Nowaskey, Ziobro, Kokoski
end Jones cleaned out Kansas inter-
ference in the smooth, workmanlike
fashion of a riot squad and the sec
ondary picked off the runners as
easily as you swat fly.
But the Jayhawks' sharp, we'll
timed passes did give the Capital
eleven considerable trouble
Three times they knitted their
way deep into Colonial territory
Sam Babich intercepted a pass on
his that halted one Kansas
drive in the second period. He
snatched another behind his goal
line in the third and fought his way
out to the 5 to squelch another
goalward march and it was Tom
Grady who gathered in still an
other on his l8 to bring the Hawks
third scoring thrust of the day to
screeching halt.
This same Grady. an obscure
fourth-string tailback until today,
was the most brilliant figure in the
Washington elevens backfield. 1t
was he who put the punch in the
Colonials' 70-yard touchdown drive
at the start of the second half and
who continually threw Kansas into
confusion with sure-footed cutbacks
OF tackle and wide sweeps around
end.
Nowaskey Goes Across.
Bob Nowaskey tailed the first
touchdown, outsprinting the Kansas
secondary in 2O-yard gallop to pay
dirt after taking a lateral from
Babich, who had gathered in
pass from Eddie Wilamoski. The
play started from George Washing
tons 48 and caught the white
helmeted home team fatfooted
Nowaskey added the extra point
with well-directed placement to
give George Washington TO lead.
Kansas made the mistake of kick
Ing off to the Colonials as the Sec
ond half opened and Walt Fedora
gave an eloquent hint of the action
to follow by taking the pigskin on
the 10 and squirming back to the
80. Grady, swinging into action
for his first real run of the game.
went around left end for 13 yards
and first down on the Jayhawks'
48 and Babich followed with more
on reverse through guard.
Then Grady started around right
end, cut back outside tackle, stepped
gingerly over the outstretched leg
of fallen teammate, faded away
from two would-be tacklers and
was gone. Sonny Jones cleared the
way with vicious block on the
safety man and Grady logged over
the goal line unr,olested. Nova
skeys placement split the uprights.
Miller Tallies for Kansas.
An exchange of punts gave Kan
sas possession of the ball on George
Washington's At. Miller tried a
long pass that mis- !, but Welc was
accused of interfering with the play
and the Hawks got a first down N
G.. W's 33.
Miller passed to Ulrich for a first
down on the 10-yard mark. Sulli-
want got through for then Miller
got through to score. Chester Glib
bens drop-kicked the extra point.
