punt put them in position. Half
back Dick Daniels got one key
block to skirt end untouched in
a 32-yard payoff run.
Aside from their drive to start
the second half, the Colonials'
only big bid for a score came
late in the game when despera-
ton passes from Skinny Safer,
utility back, carried to Wake
Forests 20. The best pass of this
drive was a 39-yard heave to
George Baird, a last-minute
addition to the CIV travelling
squad, who made a fancy catch.
CIV Off-and-on Team.
The Colonials were an off,
and-on team this afternoon, at
times allowing the Deacons
to roam almost at will, but again
stopping them several times
when the chips were down.
But George Washington itself
was unable to stir up the extra
bit needed to score when the op-
portunity presented.
Consoles, Subbing for Joe
White. Wake Forests 6-foot-1
ace who was shaken up midway
through the third period, threw
the short payoff pass right over
the middle of the line for nine
yards to Showers, who crouched
just over the goal. That ended
the drive the Deacons started
after driving the Colonials back
from their II and taking over on
the 10.
Deacons Score Again.
In the fourth period, the short
punt by halfback Bill Weaver Of
CIV put the Deacons in posi-
ton on the CIV SO. and on the
second play thereafter they took
| advantage of this chance
Daniels was given one key block
that sprung him loose around
right end, and he scampered SO
yards without being touched.
Consoles placement made the
first extra point. and he passed
to Jack Ladner for the second
one. The Deacons also beat the
Colonials in the statistics with
II first downs to seven and 236
yards rushing to A.
CIV did have a tiny edge in
passing. with 1873 yards on seven
competitions in 18 attempts
to Wake Forests 108 yards with
nine good in "a tries.
Heat Willis Both Teams.
The excessive heat wilted both
teams. but the Colonials seemed
to suffer most. At least five OF
the CIV players had to be helped
from the field exhausted, while
the Deacons lost only their
quarterback, White. He made a
long cross-field dash good for
10 yards forward in which he
just about ran himself out.
The Colonials were in their
backyard all through the first
period, not making even a first
down until the second period
while the Deacons seemed ready
to move out at any time. They
got as tar as George Washing
toms "a in the first period and
to the Is and IS in the second
before carrying through with 8
threat in the third.
In fact. it wasn't until shortly
before half time that the Co.
lonials worked even across the
SO, which they did with a 40.
yard screen pass from Bob Sturn
to Weaver that reached the
Wake Forest 48.
COlonialS Start Drive.
In the second half the Colonial.
seemed refreshed and with
Weaver and Fullback Dutcl
Danz carrying quickly crossed
midfield after Weaver ran tn.
kickoff back to his 80. Sturn
and Len C1emniecki inserted /
screen pass to push deep int,
Deacon territory at this point
but the drive finally washaltet
when the Deacons drove CIV
back from their II and took owe
on their 10 to go of on theil
first scoring march.
