George Washington's easy victory
over Western Maryland last week
while Richmond was taking 1t on the
chin from North Carolina State,
hasn't filled Coach Johnny Baker
with any false ideas about the job
confronting his men Saturday night
when they tackle the Spiders at
Grimth Stadium. He thinks the
Colonials face a sizeable task and
will have to show their best to win.
One OF the five games he wit
messed over the week end was the
Richmond North Carolina State af-
fair, 50 his dope is straight from
the feedbox, not second hand. He
thinks Richmond should have tied
State, at least, and would have done
it had not the breaks gone against
1t. Twice the Spiders shook loose
pass receivers who were out in the
clear with nobody between them
and touchdowns and then dropped
the ball. On other occasions, just
when Richmond seemed as though
1t was ready to go places, somebody
would miss his assignment and the
offense would jam.
FenIon Sees Close Game.
Johnny Fenlon, one-tme team
mate Of Bakers at G. w. and yes
terday q guest with him and Tuf1y
Leemans at a luncheon, also thinks
the game will be close one decided
by the breaks.
George Washington has a big,
fast team" he said. And thought
1t looked pretty good against West
ern Maryland. I'll swap Baker any
thing he wants for those tackles and
he's got at least one end I could use.
My material isn't too bad, though,
and unless I miss my guess we'll give
them a good game this time"
Baker this week will devote much
Of his time to pass defense, for
Richmond has a crack pitcher In Joe
La Luna and off what the downtown
eleven showed against Nanny Kap-
Ian last week 1t won't be hard for
him to make connections unless
there is lot of Tightening UP. Of
fensive blocking also will come in
for its. share OF attention, but Baker
was more satisfied with this, thanks
to Messrs. Konizewski, Hurley and
Hail. than the aerial defense.
Hoyas to Stick to ct"
Georgetown probably Is through
