Joining Squad as Back,
Tim Since Has Played
Center, Guard, Tackle
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

SWEET is the name-Tim Swett-
and you'll be seeing a lot of him
this year, but for the life Of us we
can't say exactly where in George
Washington's lineup, because even
Head Coach Bill Reinhart isn't Ger
tain. He plays any position, any
time and under any circumstances.
Timothy. in a word. is the Colo
mails troubleshooter and a good one.
Let the left tackle come down sick
with an attack of cholic and you'll
find Master SWEET filling his shoes.
If the right half's puppies are yap-
ping too loudly for his comfort, you'll
see Right Halfback Tim lug the
leather, and if the center's rheuma-
tism is so bad he simply can't bend
over the ball, SWEET will jump in and
snap it for him.
There isn't anything the Fort Sill,
Okla, husky can't do on football
field Reinhart says he'll be an ex-
cellent coach because he's done
everything but write publicity-and
done it well. He has more spirit
than a case of Christmas cheer and
positively is an elephant for work.
Tim arrived on the downtown
campus three years ago as an ac-
credited fu,lback. He played the
position three years in high school
and brought along few letters of
recommendation allowing as how he
carried the mail special delivery for
Fort Sill. But G. w. had a couple
of good ball toters that year and no
center. Reinhart was desperate for
centers so he called SWEET aside one
day and let him in on a big secret.
Tim was the squads new center.
Confident OF Tackle Job.
SWEET did all right in the position,
at least well enough to expect an
other chance at it last year. but
Bill needed guard because he came
up with a fair sophomore center in
Mike Monchlovich and no guards.
There only was one solution to the
problem-Quite simple for the coach.
He merely moved SWEET to guard.
Timothy was getting along IA
mously until he met up with a crowd
of enthusiastic Clemson boys. who
put him out of commission for the
remainder of the season. All things
considered. though. it had been a
good year for the 6-foot, -pounder
and he felt reasonably certain he'd
be back on the job this autumn.
But all that was changed in
spring practice when Reinhart sud-
denly was confronted with a dearth
Of tackles. He needed one and need
ed him badly so SWEET found him.
self elected to that Office. This. at
least. seemed to be the end of the
trail. If he was a tackle in the
spring, Reinhart certainly wouldn't
cast him aside in November for
somebody new. 1t was quite a nov
city. this knowing his position five
months ahead of schedule.
Now He's Playing End.
So Tim was a tackle when school
took in for the gridmen early this
month-but not for long. Dan
Douglas, an end. was stricken with
appendicitis and his departure left
the Colonials weak and wobbly at
the flank. 1t might have been a
serious problem for Prof. Reinhart
had not SWEET been around. Again
there was only one solution and Tim
didn't even wait for the coach to
suggest he might be wingman. He
just lined up at end one day and
he's been there since and probably
will finish the campaign there-bar-
ring further injuries. Of course.
Tim is a senior this year and in
collegiate football the last year men
aren't supposed to be good. They
get lazy, fat and careful and refuse
to take the chances younger players
take. But this doesn't apply to the
hero of this yarn. He's ready for
his best season and one of the games
he has marked for particular at
tention is that with Georgetown.
He wants to win that one above all
others.
You see, it was his kick the Hoyas
blocked last year and converted into
their winning touchdown.
