; QUARTERBACK
CIV, rs: Penn. s
I. BY GEORGE HUBER

George Washington is getting
better punting and better punt
returns than it has had for some
years and they are among the
lot Of factors adding up to a bet
ter record.
30 Austin and Dick Claypool
are the kickers and Mike SOM
mer. the star sophomore, from
Wilson High, is the punt re-
turner.
Austin and Claypool both are
fullbacks and one or the other
generally is in the game. That
takes one load off Coach 30
Sherman's mind, because he
doesn't have TO worry about
tricky substitutions in order to
have someone out on the field
who can kick.
It was Austin's first punt early
in the Penn game that really set
up GW's first touchdown. His
kick was q nicely placed boot
that travelled 43 yards and died
on the Penn 10. The Quakers had
to kick back with the punter
standing in his own end zone
and in that worried situation he
was lucky to get the bali out as
far as his 80. From there. the
Colonies steadily moved forward
to score.
Holed Up by Claypool
Penn never did get a drive UNI
der way during the first half.
and 1t largely was due TO two
long CIaypool kicks that kept
Penn deep in its own territory.
The Quakers got across midfield
to start their scoring drive due
to a personal foul against CIV
on a kickoff.

Smarter PLAY Needed
The Cavalier players must play
football. No names will
be used. to protect the guilty.
but these three instances of just
dumb football happened:
With only seconds remaining
in the first half and Virginia
leading. 1913, Cavalier passer
faded back. The halftime horn
sounded. The passer just stopped
running, walked toward the side
line and was tackled. I'm sure
he knows now that the half or
game isn't over. regardless of the
horn or gun. until the play Is
completed.
With fourth down on the Vir-
Iginia Is, the vMI passer threw
a long one. A Cavalier defender
intercepted it on the one. Had
Inc knocked it down 1t would
have been Virginia's ball on the
20. instead the Cavaliers took
over on their one and had to
punt.
A back received a kickoff in
the end zone. fumbled 1t. picked
up the ball deep in the end zone
and ran it back. Had he touched

gotten that far.

he lets his blockers do some of

His 85-yard punt return for

that effort, he's worried all OPP
