By George Huber


Spectators at tonight's George
Washington Virginia Tech game
at Griffith Stadium may be treat
ed to a f1ashy aerial circus with
Handy Andy Davis passing for IA
vored CIV and Bud Fisher and
Bill Stark for VPI. Davis is tail
back and fullback in the Colonials'
single-wing setup, while Fisher
and Stark are T-formation quar-
terbacks. Game time is $50.
Results of earlier games show
that passing is the best means
to gain ground against VPI,
the Quantico Marines and Vir-
ginia. having totaled IL touch
downs against the Gobblers
through the air. The Colonials,
with such a talented passer as
Davis. and with Charley Jones
and Charley Butler to do the
catching, are expected to take
advantage of this defensive weak
ness.
Davis did not play against VPI
last year because of an injury,
but the Gobblers still remember
his performance of two years ago
when he passed and ran for 204
yards. nearly twice as much as
the whole VPI team. AL Dugoff
was the star of GW's victory last
year with four touchdowns. Du-
goff has been graduated, but re-
placing him very effectively is
Bobby Cilento, who featured GW's
victory over West Virginia last
week with three touchdowns.
VPI Attack Is Varied.
The Gobblers hope to counter
tonight with both a good air and
running game. Fisher, senior
quarterback, to Ron Castro at end
has been an excellent passing
combination at Blacksburg for the
last two seasons. Bill Stark, a
sophomore quarterback, has been
pushing Fisher for the No. l
throwing spot this year. Another
end, Ron Raugh, also is getting
into the receiving spotlight.
AS spearhead of their running
game, the Gobblers will present
Sterling Wingo who is reputed to
be the fastest back in Virginia.
CIV scouts who saw him against
Quantico and Virginia go even
further and rate him the fastest
back In the Southern Conference.
He's a 6-foot, 175-pounder who
is playing his fourth season of
varsity football.
Other ball-toters with the Cob
blers are Halfback Bob Stortz, a
hard runner with plenty of weight,
and Eustace Frederick who showed
his talent by scoring a touchdown
against Maryland last year on the
second time he carried the ball
in varsity competition.
Gobblers Strong at Tackle.
The Gobblers may be able to
match the Colonials for weight in
the line, although they do not
have much depth. They have two
particularly talented tackles in
Frank Kwiatkowski and 10 Kosko,
each of whom stands feet 2 and
weighs 210. They play both on
offense and defense. The No. l
replacement for either is Sopho-
more Francis Hobbs of Washing
ton, a 6-footer who weighs 205
Hobbs hasn't been able to replace
either of the others as a starter,
but has played snappily in both
games so far.
A victory for CIV tonight would
be it's third straight since losing
to Virginia in it's opener and would
put it in a tie for first place in
the Southern Conference. Wash
ington and Lee, now in front with
three victories. has a non-league
engagement against Virginia to-
morrow.
This will be the fourth game
in the modern GW-VPI series.
The Gobblers won rather handily
in Griffith Stadium game in
1S47, while the next two years
they played at Blacksburg with
CIV winning. That seems to give
an edge to the visiting team.
A feature of tonight's game will
be the appearance of VPIs famed
102-piece band, the Highly
Tighties.
