CIV Coach Gloomy
Over 0ffense in Loss;
WI Wins Second

The coaches of George Wash
ington and Westinghouse High
Schools, which are expected to
be the football powers once again
in Virginia's Northern District,
are somewhat gloomy over their
respective offenses in early
season games.
Such an outlook is surprising
in Bob Waldorf of WI. His
squad has two straight victories
to its credit. 1t is justified in
Jim Ford of George Washington,
which lost it's opener to Wilson
last night, 20.
Westinghouse followed a
victory over Fairfax last week
with a 20-6 win against North
western last night and George
Mason trounced Aldie, BAT, in
a Group III contest at Aldie yes
terday afternoon. But the other
four Virginia teams in the Met
ropolitan Area met defeat.
Mount Vernon Loses Second.
Falls Church was upset, 60, by
James Monroe in Fredericksburg.
Mount Vernon lost it's second
straight, a 14-0 decision by E. c.
Glass in Lynchburg. Fairfax also
dropped its second when Cul-
peper won, 1876, at Fairfax.
Herndon, defending Group III
champion in it's district, was
trounced at Warrenton, 26-O.
Wilson's line, led by Guard
Archie Kennedy. kept George
Washington bottled up most of
the evening until Tom Meikle-
john came in to take over the
quarterbacking in the last quar-
ter and spanked the Presidents to
three first downs.
Meiklejohn, late reporting for
practice because of a summer
job, sat out most of the game and
will remain on the sidelines un-
til he gets in condition. Hell
help the team and maybe get
our offenSe started when he gets
in shape" Ford said after the
game. Next week when we play
Fairfax l think we'll at least
score. 1 was disappointed and
surprised that we didn't score
against Wilson,"
Wilson got its two points early
in the first quarter when George
Darley, who started at quarter
back for CIV, fumbled the pass
from center while trying to punt
from the 22-yard line and was
chased into his own end zone for
a safety.
Wilson then threatened to add
a touchdown to it's score when
moments later the Tigers moved
the ball So yards to GW's /.
The drive stalled there, however,
and Wilson never got that close
to the goal the rest of the night.
Waldorf Unimpressed.
WaShington-Lee put on a 63-
yard march for a touchdown the
second time it gained possession
of the ball and stayed on the
ground all the way. But Waldorf
wasn't impressed. II Thought our
backs could have run a lot hard
er," he said, though Tom Huston
(fullback) did a good job. 1
thought the quarterbacking was
good and the line defensively
was satisfactory"
Bill Bierlien, 140-pound scat
back, ran the final three yards
of that touchdown drive for the
first six points. Lowell Tevis
blocked Art Eberdt's try for
placement and the score stood
at 60 at the half.
Four plays after the second
half kickoff, Fred Walker inter-
cepted Mike Cockill'S fiat pass
and ran 35 yards for wills sec
ond score and the one that was
described later by both coaches
as the back-breaker. Later in
the period, Eberdt passed to Jesse
Notes over center for the Cen
erals third score on a 6-yard
play. Eberdt kicked both extra
points.
A series of desperation passes
by Fullback John Dudley resulted
in Northwestern's only score. A
screen pass to Howard Voorhees,
and two long heaves to John
Heinicke put the ball on the
6-yard line. Then Dudley hit
Charlie Kuhn in the fiat and
Kuhn ran over.
