Against Surprise
In Furman Game
CoIoniuIs Cautioned
By SWEET Not to Be
Overconfident
By GEORGE Huber

George Washington University's
football team will play Furman
tomorrow night in Griffith Sta
dium in a game which shapes up
as tight contest. Last year the
Colonials scored a BAT triumph
over the Purple Hurricane.
Tim SWEET, former assistant
coach at CIV and now an insur-
ance salesman who spends his
week ends scouting for the Colo
malls, came back with a cautious
report after watching Furman beat
The Citadel, 35-14. last week.
They've got a different team
from the one we beat last year,
SWEET said. IF I were a sports
writer I wouldn't make CIV
too much of favorite. We
moved pretty we'll through theil
line last year. but they've got a
defensive guard. Calvin Hartness
who weighs 200 pounds and coulc
wreck us.
Sophomore Back a Threat.
"They also have a sophomore
.halfback, Russell Sutton, who is
stoeky, very fast and deceptive,
SWEET continued. He. was the
best high school player in the
State. Sutton makes you look bao
when you try to tackle him and
grab nothing but an armful OF
fresh air. The sportswriters down
there are calling him Quick
silver"
SWEET also had some nice things
to say about Sonny Horton, the
leading Furman ground gainel
last year, and Gene Pedrick, quar-
terback, who this week is thu
Southern Conferences top passer
II hope Andy Davis is back tc

Word from Greenville. S. c., is
that Furman is in its best physi-
cal condition of the year. Two
ends who missed last weeks game
are ready now and several others
who were ailing are back.
Furman Coach Cautious.
Coach Bill Young of Furmar
naturally is cautious about his
teams chances this week. Sure
We looked great against The Cita.

we did was right and we didn't

peace talks between the National

much in the air. One Of the docu-

hands contained the following pas
sage:

for us to enter into peace negotia-

On the surface, the Communists

Actually. they were pushing prep

attacks south Of the Yangtze.
One day at twilight time I sat
upon a stone bench by the lake,
drowned in an INFINITE sorrow. Sud-
denly, the breeze carried over to
me a phrase that, struck me like
a thunderclap. Two .vacationing

at me cunningly.
There arose once again before
my eyes Lin Wen's skeleton shape.
But in my ears I heard clearly
his voice.
I'm sorry. I cannot accept your
demand. I can never do it," I
told Lieu Shao-chi in a firm
voice.

The paper he placed before me
was a pledge never to divulge
what had transpired between us,

Piled. A bloodless killer! But I
refused to sign.
Strangely enough, Liu Shao-chi
did not attempt to harm me,
nor bother me any further, but
left me to the anguish Of a slow
suicide. I wrote a bitter 10000
word petition to Mao Tze-tung,
boldly exposing Liu Shao-chi's
base schemes and venomous de-
signs. I accused Liu Shao-chi of
abusing the power of his ofiice
to cut down innocent, loyal party

My answer eventually was:

quite a chill and so the interested
crowd gathered inside the Court

is sponsored by the Rockville

Three winning coupons had to
be drawn since unfavorable
weather the past two Wednesdays
had postponed the drawing. The
first winner was Gail Wade De-
Beck of Rockcrest who won 1923;
next was Mrs. Harry Farrell of

$12. Excitement ran high when it
was announced that Mrs. John Ok
ley had won with a 40% coupon,

in all were drawn, prizes being
