Of Trio Of Obscure
: Reserves at Stort

George Washington University's
patched-up gridiron forces move into
the trenches against the invading
Kansas Jayhawks tomorrow at Grif-
nth Stadium and anybody recoe-
nizing the Colonials' starting eleven
will be entitled to some sort of
prize.
Coach Bill Reinhart has rinied
the squad like q card shark, pro-
noting three obscure reserves to KEY
positions on the first team and GEN
orally rearransfhg the second team
ratings. Harry Ledford will start
at quarterback and AL Romasco at
right half and Reinhart expects
them to make a huge difference in
the teams running game.
Seibert to Play Center.
IN the line 18-year -old Don Seibert
will start at center in place of Mike
Monchlovich. but this change was
not IS much from choice as neces-
sity. Monchlovich was injured in
the Buckneu game and is not fully
recovered. Although Seibert has
the markings of q dependable center
he Is woefully inexperienced and
badly in need of work. Kansas NAV
oe TOO tough for his first starting
assignment.
Reinhart will string along with
these newcomers as long as the
JayhawkS stay in bounds, but if
the visitors threaten to run awav
with the ball game he'll have to
eau on some of his not-too-badly-
injured veteranS-Murphy Booth,
Sam Babich. Burnell Martinson and
walter Welc, all of whom will
watch the opening proceedings.
Boasting a record of four vic.
tories, two defeats and a tie. George

/ The safest bet on the Redskin-
Bear game? That it'll be 4 free
scoring affair In which either team
might get four touchdowns and
stiN lose.
That's the way Sundays struggle
between the Eastern and Western

personnel and statistics on both
teams bear out that forecast.
The Bears. who will arrive IN

only bring the third-highest scoring
team in the league (the Redskins
are first) but the greatest individual

Manders is worth q story In him.
self. Thirty years old and now In
his eighth season with the Bears,
the old Minnesota haNback holds
rs many all-time records Is years
he has been. in the league. You
must know, Of course, that the
reason they call him Automatic
Jack" is because his booting Of field
goals and extra points is consistency
itself.
At one stage of his pro career,
Manders booted y extra points In
succession. He started this season
with a total of 345 points-more
than any man ever had scored In
the National Football League. The
7s points he rang up in 1884
stand as the highest number of
points ever registered by any In
dlvidual in single season Of pro
football. He's kicked SO field goals
Tor the Bears since joining them
IN 1882 and 10 Of them came in one
year, 1894, another record.
Holds Seasons Record
Although two other players have

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The week
ly attempt to march through the
football list (hoping to escape toe
many offside penalties):
Michig Northwestern: Add

current No. team. There's some
doubt whether Tommy Harmon will
be in perfect shape and this vote
for Michigan is predicated on the
assumption that he will be.
Boston College Georgetown: Two
of the biggest teams in the country
collide in a duel of unbeaten, un-
tied forces. Boston College seems
to have definite edge In the back
field; Georgetown less certainly in
the line Nothing but the coin can
help and it falls-Georgetown.
Minnesota-Purdue: The Gophers
are over the highest hurdles in a
back-breaking schedule and are due
for a let-down. which simply is pre-
liminary to casting the customary
vote for Minnesota.
Rice-Texas A. and NJ: It seems
the Aggies are just as good as they
have to be and that's plenty good.
Rice is on the upgrade, but there's
nothing In the records to give the
Owls much hope Texas A. and M.

With Suchon's Keen
Posing Come

Catholic University's gridmen did
their sloshing around on neighbor-
ing Turkey Thicket playground yes
terday as they completed heavy work
for tomorrow's intersectional strug-
gle with Hardin Simmons College at
Brookland.
The Cards industriously rehearsed
a defense designed to stop the Cow
boys potent aerial combination of
Owen Goodnight to H. c. Burrus,
which completed 16 of 30 passes
against Loyola of Los Angeles and
is regarded as one of the slickest
passing duos In the Southwest.
Stopping them will be the first step
In cracking Hardin Simmons six
game winning streak and the Cards
will leave no stone unturned in this
direction.
Cards Work on Timing.
But Coach Dutch" Bergman has
a hunch the marsh-li Brookland
Stadium will turn the game into q
battle of lines-at least a duel of
running attacks-and cautiously de-
voted goodly portion of the dreary
afternoon to this phase of defense.
Bergman had his nnemen working
in five, six and seven man shifts,
and even figured out an eight-man
front wall for extreme emergencies.
Ofensively the Cardinals worked
on timing, trying to get their attack
down to split precision. Per-
feet timing will be necessary If they
hope to spring Charley Moutenot,
their fastest back, into the open.
Nor will it hurt on pass plays down
the alley when Pete Sachon drops
back, counts five and fires the
leather.
Rain or shine Sachon will be in |
there pitching, for he proved
definitely against Tulsa last week |
he is capable of handling a slippery
ball by completing four of six heaves
for total Of 56 yards. It was a 80
yard pass that set the stage for the
Cardinals lone score. Sachon also
ngures to match the quick witted
strategy OF any quarterback Hardin
Simmons sends against him.
Special Sectio for Texans.
The visitors were due in town to-
day and were to establish head
quarters at the Roosevelt Hotel. A
bour Of the city and light, limbering
up workout was planned this after
loon.
A special section for Hardin-Sim-
mons alumni and other Texans has
been reserved for the game and

care to cheer on the visitors.
