NEW YORK. Oct. 5-Catalogue
the Colonials as club worth
watching for George Washington's
football team impresses as an outfit
in the process of shifting into high
gear, perhaps a game or two away
from its peak but rolling in the
right direction.
In its hectic 21-18 victory over
Manhattan last night at the Polo
Grounds, G. w. demonstrated its
passing and pass defense require
light busting, but on the other side
of the ledger the Colonials can dis
play so many encouraging items
that Coach Bill Reinhart isn't in
clined to fret.
We haven't hit our stride yet"
says Stout William, but I'm salts
fed. The boys still aren't in top
condition, but we'll be in good
physical shape in another week or
so. We have long, tough season
and I wanted them to play them
selves into form and avoid hitting
their peak too early.
This clue has courage. It'll bat
tie and stick in the ball game when
the breaks 60 against it. You have
to like that"
Score Twice in Five Seconds.
The Colonials didn't appear re-
motely related to the team which
last week was extended to spank

a punch and its superiority over
Manhattan was more marked than
the score would indicate.

Then, in the final five seconds of
action, came fireworks from both
teams. Needing three yards for

game precariously close to oblivion.

off-tackle thrust and was rewarded
with touchdown, Walt Fedora
streaking So yards to score. Dan
Snyder converted for the third
time in the engagement and G. w.
owned a 21-12 lead with one second

scored in virtual darkness. the

while Fedora plunged over from the
1-yard line in the second period to
climax 67-yard march and boost

Successive holding penalties put
G. w. back to its own 5-yard line
early in the third period and Man

skis pass midway in the fourth
quarter. Dave Farabaugh scored

G. w. goal.
Then came those two touchdowns
in the final five seconds, which
must have established some sort
of record.
Monchlovich. Frank August, John
Kokoski, Henry Aguisiewicz and
Tony Barauskas, were outstanding
in a stubborn G. W. line, which can
claim a major portion of the credit
for registering the upset.
