J QUARTERBACK
By GEORGE HUBER

The difference between last
years l-7-1 record for George
washington and this years 5-4
was q better defense and Mike
Sommer. The punting also was
much better.
Actually, even with Sommel
on the varsity, the Colonials
didn't present Q much fanciei
attack this time. Against the
same caliber of opposition. the
Colonials scored is touchdowns
this time compared to IL the
year before. It's what they held
the opposition to that made q
difference between q losing and
winning season.
Sommer. the speedboy sopho-
more from Wilson High School,
scored fiye Of those touchdowns,
and several Of them were beauts,
There was that s4-yard punt re-
turn in the opening game
against VMI and an 89-yard run
against West Virginia that stand
out. He set up q couple Of other
scores with long runs, and last
Saturday at Maryland his 10
yard dash started the Colonials
on what was their best drive.
Strong Defense Helped
CIV defenses, both against
rushing and passing but partic-
ularly against passing, were good
most Of the time. Seven of GW's
is touchdow1s were set up BY
defensive gestures such as punt
returns. interruptions or fumbIe
recoveries. Guard Ray Murray,
the former Tech High and Mont
gomery Junior College fullbacK
who was a new player at CIV this
year. was a standout In this sort
of defensive play Ray Looney,
the sophomore quarterback, also
was Q good intercepter, and the
senior quarterback. Bob Sturm,
came up with two air thefts
against Maryland.
Colonials' passing was only so
so. with q completion average
of around IS per cent, but they
managed to hold opponents to
q shade less than that and an
average gain Of less than so
yards d game Only one CIV

next season.
Saffer's Play Cited
Although Sommer was the
Ibackfield star. he wasn't the
only. valuable player. Of course
The other starting halfback. Bill
Weaver, was an excellent blocker
one who helped Sommer spring
loose frequently. Fullbacks b
Austin and Dick Claypool--bott
of whom return next season
were faster than most, and pro.
vided the Colonials with better
|punting than they've had In q
long time.
A special paragraph should b
written about Skinny Safer. the
little fellow from Fairfax High
School. He wasn't fast or BIG
'or powerful, but he had brains
quits and ability. He could play
any backfield position, particu-
larly on defense, and 1t was In
tight defensive situations he was
used mostly until late in the
season. AS o ball carrier he
was q twisting. dodging hole
finder. He didn't have q long
run to his credible didn't have
the speed for it-but he actually
finished the season with Q rush-
ing average that was q fraction
OF a yard better than Sommer's,
In q quick review Of the sea-
son GW's best game would have
to be that against Virginia Tech.
The Colonials were behind, TO,
at the half. but rebounded for
q 1877 victory to spoil VPI's
homecoming. GW's worst game
was its TO loss to Richmond. q
game 1t had plenty OF chances
to win, but didn't.

BY BILL FUCHS


The strange behavior that has
marked the University of Vir-

defeatism can be seen in such
symptoms as continuous filters
and mental blackouts.
Fundamentally. that's not q

have had to watch the Cavaliers
