Dukes Bid for Winning Year
Hinges on Tilt With CoIonioIs

George Washington has picked
a poor week end to open football
relations with Duke.
The Blue Devils barely hit the
500 mark last year with All
record. and unless they could
beat North Carolina in the last
game of the which isn't
likely-G. w. represents their
last chance to remain above 500
this year.
To date Wallace Wade's team
has won three, lost two and tied
two. The Colonials and Duke
have played three common OPP
ponents, but only against Mary
land, which beat G. W.. 47-0, and
lost to Duke, 1912, do the CO.
lonials suffer by comparison.
G. w. beat v. P. l., 1870. COM
pared to TO for Duke, and Wake
Forest defeated G. W., 27-13, and
Duke, 27-20.

Davis Is Fourth
Among Nations
Ground Gamers

Andy Davis, George Washington
us sensational freshman backfield
star, ranks fourth among the Ma
tion's ground gaining leaders. ac-
!cording to this weeks statistics
from the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Bureau. He was in sixth place
last week before adding 161 yards
running and passing against the
Citadel for a, seasons total of 1,04l
yards.
The only other Southern Con-
ference player with a larger total
yardage is North Cardinals Charley
Justice. Davis also ranks ninth
among the passers with 81 compile
tions in 1i3 attempts for 729 yards.
Justice is 18th among the passers.
Nevada's Stan Heath continues to
lead overall offense by a wide
margin with 1854 yards, while the
rushing leader is Fred Wendt of
Texas Mines with 97S yards. Also
prominent on the rushing yardage
list are Gil Stephenson and Bubby
Stuart of Army. Stuart is in Sec
ond place with 772 yards and Ste
phenson fourth with ISL.
Their total of 1888 yards places
them only 129 yards behind the best
seasons showing of their illustrious
predecessors at West Point, Felix
Blanchard and Glenn Davis, and
with two games to 60 they look a
Icinch to pass that.

The power minded West Point

TO the modern pass-happy trend,

In seven games they have
rolled up a staggering total of
2,640 rushing yards-an average
Of 377.l yards a game.
II this keeps up, the National

the Hudson are bound to wreck

Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis

Blanchard and Davis have q

Stephenson and Bobby Stuart,
who are almost cinch to

Notre Dame is the only other
team to take rushing honors more

VILLANOVA, Pa, Nov. 10.-Coach
Joran Olivar of Villanova expects
several of his injured players to be
back in action Friday night when
Villanova's football team plays
Georgetown at Philadelphia ShiEs
Park. The Wildcats will be playing
their first home game after four
weeks on the road during which they
won two games, tied one and lost
one.
Among those who figure to be
ready for Georgetown are Guard Joe
Scarcelll, who misser last weeks tie
game against Kentucky, and Half
back Jack Moran who has missed the
last two games. Moran's return will
provide added speed to the Wildcat
offensive.
Even Guard George Pavalko, who
received broken hand against Ken
lucky last week, may be able to
play. The team physician said if
the swelling goes down it may be
possible to place a cast on the
hand.
Backfield Coach Jerry Neri, who
has been scouting Georgetown, tells
Coach Olivar that the Hoyas will
put out a 212-pound starting line,
heaviest Villanova has faced this
season. an spite of it's size" reports
Neri. the boys on it can move and
hit hard" Neri also feels that the
Georgetown squad. which includes
a number of Philadelphia players,
will be up" for Friday nights game.
Georgetown will be seeking revenge
for Villanova's 14-12 victory last
year.
Neri also said that although the
Hoyas are, operating mostly from
the single-wing and a wide double
wing, they remind him of South
west Conference team. They do a
lot of passing and really play wide
open style of football" Neri remarked.
After going through only a light
drill on Monday, the Wildcats
buckled down to serious work yester-
day by scrimmaging against George
town plays. Movies Of last years
Georgetown-Villanova game also
were shown the players, with par
ticular emphasis being placed on
the spread formation Georgetown
used to good effect then.

Seibert, Injured

vern Seibert, Maryland's light
but fast right halfback, who was
the teams leading ground gamer
until injured in the Duke game, will
return to action Saturday afternoon
when the Old Liners face North
Carolina at Griffith Stadium in the
biggest collegiate game Washington
has known in many years.
The little Scatback has been out
with an injured leg, but Trainer
Duke Wyre has given him the green
light and Vern is counted prom
inently in Coach Jim Tatum's
hopes for upsetting the Tar Heels
Jim La Rue figures to get the call
as starting right halfback. but
Seibert is certain to do a lot of
playing. Seibert played minute
or so against South":C Carolina last
week, but this week will be his first
real action in a month.
Seibert, a 152-pounder, who stands
5 feet II inches, makes up in speed
and twist what he lacks in power.
Until removed from the Duke game
he was leading the Terrapin. ground
gamers with 292 yards in 81 carries.
Evans Also Usable.
Another injured player who pos
sibly will function is Right End
Francis Evans, who received a frac-
tured cheek bone against George
Washington. A special mask has
been constructed for him and he
can play if needed. The Old Liners
are fairly well fixed for ends, how
ever.
Two knee injuries cropped up in
a scrimmage yesterday. with Center
Bob Everson and Tackle Alden Muir
ply, both reserve players. the VIC
Tins. Maryland also is well forti-
fed in those positions and even
if these two cannot play it doesn't t
affect seriously its chances against
North Carolina. All the No. l and
No. 2 players in every position are
in good physical condition with the
exception of Davis, and barring
further injuries the Terrapins fig
ure to be in their best shape since
the opening game.
A light rain yesterday did not
slow practice at Maryland. Much
of the time was spent on tackling

rightly. that good solid tackling is
the only means OF stopping Charley

almost all of North Cardinals ball.
