G. w. Skids in Pinches.
Foremost among the flaws is the
fact that G. w. has come apart at
the seams at critical times. Against
Norfolk Navy the Colonials grasped
a 34-33 lead with 10 minutes to go,
then saw the Gobs pour 18 consecu-
tive points through the cords.
Against the Marines on Saturday
night G. w. owned 7-point lead in
the waning moments, but dropped a
$3.50 decision.
G. w. has occasion to be heart
ened, however, for not many college
teams will defeat either Norfolk or
Quantico as currently constituted.
The Sailors are undefeated, as are
the Marines. The Marines, Incl
dentally, claim the game in which
they walloped Maryland was no
practice affair, as the Old Liners re-
ported.
The Colonials have unveiled scor-
ing threats in Joey Gallagher and
Jim Rausch. In Jim Myers and
John Koniszewski they have a pair
of clever ball hawks, but the team
lacks height. Center Ed Gustafson
and Koniszewski are 6-foot, 3-inch
performers, but Gallagher, Rausch
and Myers are comparative Lillipu-
tians.
