No Soft Spot for Opposition Now
Mastery of Defense Makes
Ciennniecki Star at CIV Aquin

Virginia Military game, and the
others on a long run and a short
plunge against Virginia last Sat-
urday.
CIV opponents always have
been wary of his running and
have stacked their defenses to
stop him by closing the ends,
outside of which he likes to
romp. CIV has countered by
opening up the middle for him
and it worked wonderfully
against Virginia last week when
he scored two touchdowns and
totaled 1913 yards on IA carries
One of his better dasheS of q
yards was outside of end, but
his best of SO yards, which went
for one of his touchdowns, was
right through tackle.
His other touchdown was a
two-yarder, but it was no end
run. He just bucked through a
tight line like a fullback.
