George Washington completed
its first week of football practice
yesterday with a morning pass
ing drill that left Coach DO
Sherman calling the Colonials
the best passing team we've
had since I've been here"
Sherman recalled that "last
year we hardly had enough pass
ing to keep the other teams
honest" and added, "but it's go
ing to be different this time.
With the passing we've got, and
the speed from Mike Sommer
and Dick Claypool at halfback,
we may be able to show them a
thing or two.
THAT is, if we don't get hurt. +"
he put in as an afterthought.
The Colonials are very thin and
injuries to key player or two
could be serious. So far there
have been no major injuries, al
though some OF the players are
getting the usual bumps and
bruises that come early in the
practice season.
Passing yesterday were Quar-
terhacks Ray Looney and Jack
Henzes, the latter a non-letter-
man who is threatening to move
Looney of the first team. He did
run with the first backfield in
several scrimmages last week.
Both are hitting their targets,
particularly Henzes, a 5-foot-11
135-pounder who fires a fast ball
that's hard to block but appar-
emily easy to catch.
At halfback, Somner has been
tabled "the fastest halfback in
the Southern Conference" and
despite being 10 or Is pounds
heavier this year he's lost none

While driving through Vir-
GINA last week we noted that
there are great numbers of doves
this year. Everywhere we saw
them flying over woodland and
field or perched on telephone
wires. Virginia has q split sea-
son commencing September Is
October %. The second season
runs from December Is, 1856, to
January ., 1857. Maryland has
a straight season from Septem-
Der is to November 8 inclusive.
Virginia's game management
personnel have been concerned
over the inadequacy of food for
deer in certain sections. How
ever, widespread rains have in
creased the foliage and it is
hoped now that the animals may
find adequate food without
browsing too heavily on agricul-
tural crops. The commission
spends large sums from its
budget each year slpplementing
woods browse by planting food
patches in agricultural areas,
trying to hold the deer from
fields bearing crops.
We understand that West Vir-
ginia and Virginia have out
lawed the broadhead arrow
points designed by Howard Hill
for bow hunting, stating that
they are considered barbed
point. We received a letter from
George B. Shields, Maryland's
chief game warden. informing
US that Hills design of arrow
head is classified simply as a
broadhead and if at least "a
inches wide, which it is, may be
used with wooden shafts for
hunting deer in Maryland.
