naSn I come up.
In the dressing room afterward
Babe said he'd seen it done in a
real game, however. In fact he
was a party to it. 1t was in his
high school days in Chicago and
the ball was booted to Babe. He
booted it back and the original
punter caught it. Not knowing
what to do in that situation, he in
turn kicked it right back to Babe.
So after the ball had been punted
three times on one play, Babe
finally decided to run with it.
Didn't get very far, though.
Bob (Bugs) Thompson, the ex-
Tech High grid star who was sup
posed to be one of the big wheels
as a sophomore at Clemson this
fall, was among the spectators at
yesterdays scrimmage between
George Washington and Patuxent
Naval at Frog Island. Bugs
wouldn't give any particular rea-
son for not being at Clemson, and
also was non -committal when
asked about reports he might en-
roll at a local college.
And regarding that scrimmage,
this weeks award of one lemon
goes to the park police who showed
how sports-minded they are by
ticketing several dozen auto
mobiles parked along Mount Ver-
non highway and around the foot
ball field. One mo Parking" sign
was put up after the autos were
already there and the scrimmage
under way.
George Washington Coach Bo
Rowland the other day was talk
ing of coaches who had been in
the business for a long time when
he suddenly recollected that this
Is his 25th year as a coach.
II remember in my last year
playing with Vanderbilt that our
coach was Dan McGugin, and he
was in his 25th year then. Gosh
he seemed like an old man to me
then" and Bo looked around as
though daring anyone to think OF
him as an old man (Which nobody
does.
"Old Dan was a great guy" went
on Bo. HE had a little trick of
keeping us on our toes by calling

us if we could play a certain posi-
ton. But it always was some posi-
ton we never had played. He
never meant to send us in in those
positions, but just wanted to keep
us smartened up.
well during one game he calls
me over and asks can I play tackle.
I'm really a fullback, but before
Dan can say anything I rush in as
a tackle substitute. I go in for a
tackle named Ryan. Our fullback
was named Bryan, and Bryan
thought I was coming in to sub
for him. So he goes out of the
game along with Ryan, and no
body noticed it and we lined up
with only 10 men on the field.
And darned if we didn't score a
touchdown on the play and beat
Tennessee.
Vic Turyn, Maryland quarter
back last year, passed through
town recently. He now is an FB1
agent working out of Boston. -.
Add to Georgetown's ailing list:
Butch. the Hoya Great Dane mas
cot, has been confined to a veteri-
nary hospital for the last week
with an intestinal disorder.
And speaking of hospital patients.
Georgetown Hospital had to phone
the schools discipline Office and
ask that something be done about
all the students and football play

there with stomach ulcers. The

diction that as John Papit goes, so
