The Cardinals. playing football

In three losing efforts, George
Washington has completed exactly

best thing about the G. w. offense
is the end around play in which

outside plays with which the Old
Liners had done lot of gaining in
two previous games. Tackles were
slanting out and backeruppers were
playing little wide. As soon as the
Terrapins' found out about this,
though, they started breaking
through the middle. The Spiders
also were careful not to punt to Lu
Gambino, but aimed their boots at
Hubie Werner. That was okay, be-
cause Hubie had runbacks Of As and
A yards, and Johnny Idzik had ore
for Is yards.
Gambino statistics for the game:
Rushed ball II times for 140 yards
and two touchdowns. Fumbled once.
Passed once and completed it for
l8-yard touchdown play to End
George Simler. That's a total Of
eight tbs in three games.
Maryland has two excellent pas
sers in Quarterbacks Vic Turyn and
Joe Tucker. but outside OF Simler it
doesn't have such good catchers. If
the other boys hold onto the ball
more often the Old Liners really
could go places. Their pass defense
is very good, however. C. H.

move and had third down, q foot
to 60 on their own 40. At this
point Raba called for a screen pass
play instead of sending somebody
into the line for the 6 inches-and
it failed. The Hoyas were forced
to kick.

Plenty Of action is due in tonight's
main-event fight at Turner's Arena
between Stonewall Jackson and Joe
Di Martino. Both Jackson, . Dis
trict lad making his first headline
fight, and Mi MARITIME, who is from
Bridgeport, Conn, are free-swing-
ing sluggers rather than fancy box
ers. They apparently care little for
defense.
This Is Di Martinos first bout in
Washington. His fame rests on a
kayo win over Marty Servo that
spoiled the latter,s comeback at
tempt. Jackson has been coming
along well during the last year as
preliminary fighter and rates this
chance to show his wares over the
10-round route. He has won 18 of
20 pro fights, a number of them by
knockouts.
Three five-rounders head the
supporting cast. Flat Top Cummings
meets Nate Palmer in what's listed
as a grudge match, Bobby Suma
opposes Sonny Boy Bum and Jimmy
Jeanette fights Jimmy Cooper. Fours
are Sam Jefferson against Billy
Snead and Henry Smith against AL
