a faint idea Of the excitement
generated at a roller derby. It's
really not mixed up at all, merely
as confusing as caravan of wo-

Tonight the Washington Bal
timore Wildcats roll against the
Brooklyn Dodgers at $3.50 at Uline
Areana in the scond of an 11-game
series, with the win-city COM
bine hopeful OF repeating last
nights 1912 victory. That is about
as. technical as you can get with
the derby. without delving into
personalities. The rest is a mad
blur of grinding wheels, loose
arms. swaying legs and loose wigs
and words.
If you own a television set, you
probably know all about the derby.

For passing one opponent, player

g. W. and W. 81. Rely
On D. T.. Area Talent
In Battle Tonight
By George Huber

Local boys will have prominent
roles in tonight's college football
attraction at Griffith Stadium, the
game between Washington and
Lee and George Washington Uni
versities. Kickoff time will be
$3.50.
Ray Lester and Rollo Thomp-
son of Washington-Lee High
School are stars for the visiting
Generals. while the Colonials are
depending a lot on Andy Davis
from Tech High and AL Du Golf,
product of Roosevelt.
Lester is passing-running-
kicking halfback ace in Coach
George Barclays split-T offensive,
while Thompson, a 205-pounder.
is a f1rst-string defensive tackle.
Davis is the big wheel in the
Colonial backf1eld who is return
ing to the lineup after resting his
banged-up knees last week. His
return really enhances G. W.'s
chances and the Colonials should
be no worse than an even choice
tonight. Du Golf is the 190-
pound fullback who last week took
over offensive duties while Davis
was sidelined and scored four
touchdowns as G. w. beat Vir-
ginia Tech for its first triumph
of the season.
Leisters presence in the Gen.
jerals' backfield gives them a good
one-two passing punch. He was
Ia quarterback last year. but has
been supplanted, there by Sopho-
more Gil Bocetti. He's too good
a runner to leave on the bench,
however, and with his passing ex-
perience it gives the Generals the
advantage of having two aerial
artists in the same backfeld.
Each team has won one game
in four starts. w. and LIS vic
tory was over Furman in it's
opener, while G. W. won only last
week. Virginia beat both, topping
G. W., 27-13, and w. and L., 27-7.
| The game stacks up as wide
open affair, with the Generals
particularly going in for razzle-
dazzle laterals, handoffs and
passes from the split T. Their
coach, George Barclay, was as
Isistant to Jim Tatum at Maryland
the last two years.
