By MerreII WhittIesey

The plan to bring the George
Washington football team along by
easy stages continued to pay of
yesterday as the Colonials defeated
Wayne University of Detroit, 20-6
in their first Griffith Stadium ap-
pearance since 1912.
A crowd of 5000 watched G. w
improve it's standing among the Ma
tion's unbeaten elevens and ad.
vance to the major portion Of its
schedule with a record of three
straight victories.
The Colonials were not impressive
to the scouts Of their future foes
except for the last seven minutes
of the first half when Coach Skip
Stahley's predominately freshman
club scored once under its own power
and took advantage of a pair OF
Wayne >miscues for three rapid
touchdowns.
Wayne Goes II Yards to Score.
Wayne was scoreless and threat
less until the last three minutes of
the game when the Tarters marched
II yards against the G. w. reserves
to score and avert their fourth shut
out in five games. Wayne has beaten
only Ohio Wesleyan.
The Colonials followed their local
boy-makes-good theme as John
Shullenbarger, former all-high back
at Coolidge, tossed one Touchdown
pass, set up a second score with a
succession of first-down passes and
set the Tarters back with a con-
tinuation of his fine kicking. He
got away 65-yard quick kick for
his best punting effort. Another
local product, Techs Joe Buell., ac-
counted for touchdown on a pass
to Dick Koester, formerly of Roose-
welt.
The game produced what is be-
lieved to be the first appearance OF
Negro players against a white COL
lege eleven in the District. Wayne
started its three Negro players, Eulis
Carpenter, Robert williams and
Eulis Hazely, all Michigan boys, and
they played major portion of the
game. Hazely figured prominently
in the visitors attack.
tumble Le.sls to Tally.
The Colonials pounded into Wayne
territory the first two times they
handled the bail but couldn't score
and they had none the best of it
until the final minutes Of the first
half. 1t was then that Larry Karuba
recovered 4 tumble by Henry Hagg
on the G. W. Is. Schullenbarger
hit Frank Close with a pair of first
down passes to the Wayne nine and
Fullback Frank Cavallo went 8
yards and then 1 for G. W.,s first
touchdown. Cavallo's extra point
attempt was low.
Wayne, which was grounded In its
attempt to make the trip to Wash
ington by plane, took to the air
with disastrous results. Hazely's
pass was intercepted by G. WIS
blocking back, Bill Spangler. who
pounded IS yards before he was
knocked out on the S.
The Colonials gained two yards,
then lost five for back in motion
before Buell. tossed to Koester in
the corner of the end zone for the
score. Ray Truck, a left-footed
placement kicker, booted the first of
two extra points.
With only minute and As seconds
of the half remaining, Wayne ran
the ball three times after the en-
suing kickoff but spurned a fourth
down kick deep in their own terri
tory and G. w. took over on downs
with time for one play. That play
was a Schullenbarger to Wallace
Kennedy pass, Is yards, for a score.
Visitors Start to Click.
Wayne, showing a loss of yards
on passes until the last three min
utes, suddenly started clicking and
Harry Melia to Joe Magnatta aerials
carried the ball to the 5 from where
Val Ventro hit center for touch
down. Ventro missed the point.
John Grinnell, Ed Gustafson,
Karuba and Carl Butkus of the
G. w. line proved too much for the
Wayne attack, which incidentally
outgained G. w. on the ground, 81
yards to Al.
