george washington is a SllgnC
favorite to keep its undefeated
season rolling along tonight
when it meets William & Mary,
so far a nonwinner, at Griffith
Stadium at 8 o'clock.
The Colonials, seeking their
fifth victory in season in which
only tie mars their record, are
taking on team that can be
dangerous despite its record of
four losses and tie.
That one W&M tie was against
Boston u, the same club that
deadlocked CIV. Also, from the
W&M angle, CIV represents the
best chance the Indians have
had this season to work into
the victory column. So far they
have faced Wake Forest, Navy,
Boston u, Virginia Tech and
West Virginia.
West Virginia beat the Indians
by only touchdown last week.
CIV plays West Virginia next
week in what figures to be its
big game of the year. and there's
the possibility the Colonials may
be looking past tonight's game
and taking it too lightly.
Homecoming for CIV
Tonight is homecoming for
CIV, and the players were all
popped up at a big rally las1
night. There should be a note
of caution injected into the pro-
Iceedings, however. with the
recollection that not since 1949
have the Colonials won a home
coming game. In succession
since then they have been
beaten before the old grads by
South Carolina, Wake Forest,
Virginia Military. Maryland,
Virginia Tech and West Vir-
ginia. It was expected that they
would win some of those games.
same as it's expected of them
tonight.
The Colonials are in good
physical shape with the excep-
ton of Bob Sutton. the strong
2OO-pound senior right guard.
The A unit backfield of Ray
Looney, Mike Sommer, Dick
Claypool and Bo Austin is ready
for another good effort such as
it contributed last week toward
Ia 40-14 triumph over Virginia
military.
Looney threw two touchdown
passes last week, an item that
should help keep the Indians
defenses loose tonight. particu-
larry as he had done the same
thing the week before in the tie
against Boston U.
Where the ColonialS may have
an edge over W&M is in the
second team or B unit. That
CIV unit has done a bit better,
statistically, than the A unit,
having scored seven of the team

had a little to show in the way
of reserve strength early in the
season, although each week the
Indians have been getting better
in that respect until by now the
CIV scouts report they will be
able to match the Colonials in
manpower.
Sidwell Big Halfback
The Indians have a number
of well-known players who figure
to be troublesome for the Co.
lonials. Halfback Charley Sid
well is a 210-pounder, which is
"a bit more heft than halfbacks
generally carry, and he has been
making good use Of his power
The other halfback, Jack Yohe,
the team captain. was a CIV
nemesis two years ago but didn't
play against the Colonials last
year because of an injury. W&M
tied CIV. 1913, here, two years
ago. and was beaten, 1910, at
Williamsburg last fall.
Also dangerous is Tom Secules
at quarterback. The Indians
have Sidwell as probably the
biggest regular halfback in the
Southern Conference, and in
Secules they also present an out
size quarterback. He is 6-foot-3,
