Fisherman, Seven Rivals
Meet in Laurel Turf Cup

son today to swell dropping at
tendance and betting figures
recorded to date at minor tracks
in the State.
Many in the crowd will re-
member that Fisherman's only
race on the Laurel turf was a
sensational one when, as a last
minute International invitee
after High Guns withdrawal,
the son of Phalanx whipped six
challengers, including Queen
Elizabeth's horse Landau and
the French mare BanaSsa.
The manner in which he ham
died the Laurel turf course two
years ago and the fact that
Trainer Syl Veith has him as
sharp as ever and veteran Sam
Boulmetis will ride him, should
make him a pronounced favorite
today over Clifford Mooers' Traf-
fic Judge and Mrs. E. Eugene
Bankhead'S Jabneh.
Under the new allowance con-
ditionS of the Turf Cup, formerly
staged as a handicap. Fisherman,
Traffic Judge and Jabneh share
top weight of lib pounds.
Traffic Judge, second choice in
the wagering in last years In
ternational to Social Outcast,
when he finished sixth, is on the
comeback trail and his workouts
indicate that the 4-year-old will
turn in a top effort this after
noon. Veteran Jack Westrope
will handle the reins aboard
TRAFFIC Judge. who is making his
third start after being sidelined
for nine months.
Jabneh could be the surprise
horse today, having won a di-
vision of Monmouth's Longfel-
low Handicap earlier in the
season. In his last start he
was third in the New York
Handicap on the turf. Jockey
Augustine Catalano will ride

PLAY 1T COY IN MUD
CIV Barely Hangs On
To Remoin Unbeoten
BY GEORGE HUBER

George Washington escaped
alive and with its unbeaten rec
ord intact. and that's about all,
from last nights played-in-the-
mud football game against Will
liam & Mary.
Actually it hardly was a dis
play of what either team could
do as CIV scored all the points
in the second period and held on
for a 1914 victory, its fifth this
season along with one tie.
A field goal by Dick Claypool
from the II that started the
scoring in the second period gave
CIV its edge. The Colonials got
two touchdowns thereafter be-
fore halftime, and the Indians
matched these, scoring in the
third and fourth periods.
Only about 5000 turned out
in the rain and cold at Grit
fifth Stadium for GW's home
coming to watch the two teams
struggle their way through the
slippery goo. Running and pass
ing were all but impossible, al
though on rare occasions when
undiscovered runners did get up
half a head of steam they man.
aged to squirt their way out of
the hands of would be tacklers.
CIV Takes Lead
1t was like the old game of
trying to catch the creased Dig.
That the two teams man.
aged to total 80 points between
them was remarkable.
The victory gave CIV a 30
Southern Conference record and
put it atop the league pending
next Saturdays game against
West Virginia. which has a 20
record. 1t also was GW's first
homecoming victory since l949.
1t was two football games
really, with CIV winning the
first half hands down, and W&Nf
doing the same the second half.
There were IL fumbles, with CIV
recovering three WIN hobbies
and taking two of them TO
touchdowns. W&M picked UP
two CIV slips and converted one
OF them into a score.
WAN got past the so only
once during the first half, and
then lost the ball on a pass In
Perception. CIV moved past
midfleld only once the second
half. and then fumbled.
Nothing Fancy For CIV
The Colonials might have
looked better in the scoring COL
umn but they played it very coy
after getting their 1910 lead.
They quit trying to pass, avoided
anything fancy. and punted on
third down They didn't make
a first down in the second half
The Colonials were stopped a
yard short of a score in the first
period--a l5-yard penalty helped
them get there-and put on a
36-yard drive early in the Sec
ond half leading to Claypool's
field goal Before he kicked it,
touchdown pass from Quarter
back Ray Looney to End Paul
Thompson was called back
Eventually the Colonials got
two touchdowns that stuck on
the scoreboard.
Both stemmed from tumble
recoveries. Quarterback Jack
Henzes picked up a loose ball

final 10 yards to End Don Her.
