Victory Over Hopkins
JustA. U. Starter,
Mentor Feels
Russ Arnuud's Return
To Harness Figures
To Help Eagles

American University's victory over
Johns Hopkins may be just a starter
for the Eagles. If Coach Staff Cassell
has his squad figured correctly. The
team goes to Meadsville, Pa, this
week for a game with Allegheny.
CasseIl thinks the Eagles will be
hard to stop now, with Russ Arnaud
back in harness and ready to supply
a scoring punch when the V-forma-
ton brings them within striking
distance.
"Arnaud didn't play all of the
game against Hopkins" Cassell
pointed out today, but the mere
fact that he was on the bench and
the boys knew he was ready to come
in and help them if the attack
stalled seemed to keep them going
I think he is the solution to our
problem of finding a climax runner
The outside and downfield block
ing was not all it should have been.
but as whole, the teams play was
much improved over its first two
games. Merrill Hoover, Bob O'Hora
and Ted Stawicki were standouts in
the line, although Cassell was heart
ened by the work of Jim Petro and
Ray Shepherd. Frank La Fontalne
and Paul Weidler shaped up we'll at
the ends, although A. U. still misses
Mac Potter, the injured wingman
whom Line Coach George Menke
regards as the squads best forward.
Not to be overlooked is Russ Atkls-
son. whose running and passing were
an important factor in beating Hop
kins. With Arnaud and Bill Gar
land he engineered an aeriel attack
in which the Eagles connected on 10
of IA passes easily one of the best
marks of the season. Arnaud's re-
turn may be responsible for Atkis-
sons squirt as the two RUSS play
the same position and Atkisson will
have to hustle to get his share Of
the work.

He received ample protection from

ball faster against B. c. or watch
the game from the bench. Another
thing that displeased Hagerty was
Jack DOolanS inability TO hang onto
a pass Souarelv in his hands. 1t cost
the Hilltoppers a certain touchdown
for he was out in the clear with not
a single G. w. man between him
self and the goal-line and in close
game it might have meant the diff

We've been guilty of dropping
passes too often this year" Hagerty

A lot Of work. plus the return Of

George Washington on edge for its
second Southern Conference game
with William and Mary Friday at
Norfolk. And Coach Bill Reinhart
has an idea the Colonials are going
to win.
With Paul Nugent. Slick Gud-
mundson and Hank Agusiewlcz back
in the lineup. g. W. will be at least
so per cent stronger IN all depart
ments than it was against the Hoyas.
It's safe wager no Indian backs
will come sneaking through guard
for long touchdown runs and that
the attack will have enough dyna-
mite to make William and Mary
keep its guard up. Johnny Picco,
probably the teams best end. also
will be ready and his presence at
the flank won't hurt.
Picco PLAYED against Georgetown.
but wasn't at his best because of a
lengthy absence from the lineup
due to a game leg. A lot Of work
should get him back in the groove.
William and Mary has big
rugged team that can give anybody
trouble, but the G. w. staff has a
fairly good idea of what 10 expect
as Reinhart. Line Coach Gene
Shields and ,Backfeld Coach Johnny
Baker have seen the Virginians in
action. While the Indians lost sev-
eral good men in the draft. they still
boast an abundance of manpower
and G. W. will need lot of en-
durance as we'll as a sharp scoring
tab to win.
Reinhart needs victory this week
as much as Georgetown. Maryland
and American U. needed their
triumphs last week. Taking it on
the chin from the Hoyas the third
consecutive year was a bitter dose.
but it came as no surprise, The
Celonials simply couldn't stand up
under the enemy's heaviest batteries
with several of their best men on
the sidelines. The rockies mex
perience under fire was too much of
a handicap.
The Colonials probably will leave
for Norfolk Thursday night. travel

not been plotted definitely. At any
rate practice time will be scarce and
there is much work to be done.
