Seventh in a Row
In Series With WI
By Dick SloY

WaShington-Lee High School,
which once enjoyed a command
ing lead in its "Old Oaken
Bucket" football series with
George Washington of Alexan-
dria, now finds itself trailing in
the 19-year- -old rivalry, nine vic
tories to eight, with two games
ending in ties.
1t wouldn't be so bad if the
Arlington school had won a game
or two in late years. but George
Washington now has won seven
in a row, retired the Bucket"
twice and nailed on the first leg
of a third Bucket" with its 20
IA victory before 1880 fans in
CIV Stadium yesterday.
Pitchout Goes Astray.
WI held a 14-13 lead with a
little more than four minutes
to play and had possession of
the ball on its own 28-yard line,
second down and IL to go.
Quarterback Joe Martina called
a play that had been gaining
consistently - pitchout around
right end.
But Fullback Tom Huston
never received the pitchout. The
ball all at once appeared on the
ground at about the 2O-yard line,
where Bob Pauley, reserve left
end for CIV. picked it up and
ran over the goal with it. Sonny
johnson added the extra point.
Underwent Operation.
The story on Pauley goes back
to last summer when the slightly
built senior underwent an oper-
alton on his feet to correct some
trouble with his tendons.. 1.-The
operation made him more man
euverable," his coach, Jim Ford,
said, land this year we found
that he was tough to run against
on end sweeps.
In spite of his size-he
weighs less than 140 pounds
he was hard to block out; he
seemed to slip by the interfer-
ence all the time. So today"
Ford continued. I'VE were hav-
ing trouble with Washington
Lee sweeping our ends and I
put in Pauley. He sprained his
ankle earlier in the game but
in the fourth quarter, Rick
Caughron, our assistant coach
and trainer, said he was okay
so we put him back in. Soon
after that he made his play"
WI fumbled on the first
scrimmage play of the game to
give CIV the ball on the WI
22-yard line. Two minutes later
Halfback Alan Reynolds went
IA yards around right end for
q CIV score. Then in the second
quarter, the Generals fumbled
away a scoring chance when
they lost possession on GW's IL
yard line.
WI Takes Lead.
Washington-Lee retaliated for
q 7-6 lead the second time it
got it's hands on the ball by
grinding out II yards in 16
plays. Huston bucked the final
two yards and Art Eberdt kicked
the extra point.
CIV took the ensuing kickoff
and marched 66 yards, Halfback
Dave Beach scoring from the
to give the Presidents a 1877
lead at halftime. But Halfback
Bill Bierlien, who gained 108
yards in 10 running plays. tied
up the game on the first play of |
the fourth quarter when he |
capped a 32-yard drive with a
3-yard burst through right
tackle. Eberdt converted.
Coach Bob Waldorf of Wash
ington-Lee brought out the fact
that fumbles had beaten his
team all three times it lost this
season.
CIV finished it's season with
q 6-2-1 record, it's best under
Ford in his three years as coach.
The victory also meant the
championship of Virginia
northern district, but the Presi-
dents were nosed out for the
State title when CRANKY of Nor
folk and Hampton both finished
their seasons undefeated yester-
day.
Other scores from yesterdays
high school games were: Mount
Vernon 18, Fairfax IA; Madison
26, Herndon 0. and Columbian
