ROUTS KINGS POINT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-P
After a fruitless search all
season, George Washington
finally found that elusive foot
ball victory today at Griffith
Stadium, routing Kings Point,
400.
Less than 1000 chilled specta-
tors were on hand to watch the
Colonials triumph after eight
unsuccessful attempts. The de-
feat was the ninth for Kings
Point in eleven starts.
