Wake Forest
Hoyos Hope to Crack

Still hopeful of salvaging what it
might regard as a highly successful
season from what threatened to be-

campaign, George Washington Uni

with Wake Forest tonight at Crit

be facing a team that beat Duke,

Wake Forest also owns victories

Poschner, former classmate of ALL

threats. He made two apparently
impossible catches against Alabama
for touchdoWns which turned back

his brilliant play with three scoring

Poschner, like SinkWich. was in

recovered sufficiently to play against
Georgia Tech in the last game of
that season, and scored a touch

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Did you
know that there's football team
representing one of the major"
Eastern colleges that is unde-
feated so far and hasn't had a
nickel's worth of publicity about
it? And, what's more, it has
won its league title four times in
five years. The team is Prince
tons l50-pound outfit. which may
come through to another title if it
can knock off Penn today The
lightweights get only four games
this year, since Yale and La
Fayette suspended operations in
the Eastern l50-pound league.
bU they play every one as if
they were in the Rose Bowl.
Since the league was organized
in 1884, football for fun has
caught on so well that games
have drawn as many as 10000
spectators, with an average of
around $500 and the squads run
anywhere from so to $50 players.
And it's inexpensive, too. When
the kids have to weigh in at
154 pounds just before the game,
they don't go for those big, juicy
steaks.

Scoring on Grid
Not Job Twas
Last Season
Running Attack Gets
More Ground, Points
Require Less Guis
BY ARNOLD DERLITZKI,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Collegiate
football not only is continuing it's
trend toward greater offense under
wartime conditions, but it is doing
it with an even greater economy Of
effort.
The Nations gridiron teams were
averaging 1928 yards a game on
the basis of figures released today
by the American Football Statistical
Bureau. This compared with a 1941
final average of 2218 yards per team
per game.
And where last years collegians
averaged a point for every Is yards
gained, they're getting that point
this year by travelling only Is yards.
AS a result, 1912 teams are boasting
of 1893 point game average to
the 1875 of last year.
The statistical bureaus reason for
it Was-greater scoring fnesse and
even better coaching methods.
Gain in Running Attack.
The advance in total offense can
be attributed to superior running
attacks, for at forward passing the
country's footballers slipped from
1941 when they averaged 806 yards
per game and also established a
record for percentage of competitions
The 1912 figures per game COM
pared with 1941:
Gushing average 1t5 yds, 14j5 yas
a. 1ss Nos psSsa sspts 4id{aS' 80 s0S
Pct. pass cmpl't'ns 1856 1872
Puntins average 36Il yds 36.I2 yds
The most offensive minded Sec
ton of the Nation is the Midwest
where major teams are averaging
247.7 yards game per team, al
though running second to the
Southeast in actual scoring.
In accounting for this, the sta.
tistical bureau pointed out thai
competition is more even in the
Midwest and consequently there
have been fewer one-sided game:
where points build up faster thar
yardage because some scores come
by other means than strictly offense

East Potomac Links
May Be Useless
Until Spring
Mud Slow to Go, Weather
Will Determine When
Course Will Open

The East Potomac Park golf
course, centerpiece of the public
golf courses in Washington, will not
be opened for some time and may
not be back in business until spring.
S. G. Leoffler, president of the COM
pany which operates all the public
courses in the city, said today re-
opening of the layout depends on
the Weather, but held out little hope
that East Potomac can be opened
within few days. It's all a re-
suit of the flood of last month.
I'VE found that we ran into real
trouble down there" said Leoffler.
I'm the first place our facilities in
the clubhouse were knocked out
when water flooded the cellar burn
ing out a transformer. Without
electricity we couldn't pump out the
cellar and without a cellar it was
hard to function. Down on the lower
end of the course the fairways were
| covered with a thick coating of mud
and scum. We thought we could
get it cleaned up in a few days, but
that didn't work out. AS a mat
ter of fact it will take a long time
to get rid of it and it is slow work.
If we have freezing weather soon
it may be months before we can
use the course. And it's possible it
may be out of use part of the VIM
ter"
That means. of course. that un-
der good conditions it will be quite
while before East Potomac opens
up at the old stand Leoffler ex-
planned that much of the mud de-
post can be broken up, and that
it will not be practicable to shovel
the mud from the fairway and
greens. 1t will be absorbed, he
pointed out.
Meanwhile, most of the public
links play has shifted to Rock Creek
Park and Anacostia Park. At the
latter course the Pearl Harbor
tourney, started last month, is be-
ing carried on. and will finish in
fortnight. probably to be followed
by a turkey tourney.
