CIV, 10; Hardin Simmons,
BY GEORGE HUBER

George Washington doesn't
have a brilliant football team,
but it is a logged one that doesn't
get ratified. AS consequence,
the Colonials have won three
games although outplayed IN two
of them. including the Hardin
Simmons game.
The Colonials just seem to
|plod along successfully.
The platoon system. which
worked so well the first two
games. had to be discarded this
time because of injuries. But
those players who were put in
unfamiliar combinations worked
there all right, including Quar-
Iterback Ray Looney.
He was q halfback this time
for awhile anyway in place OF
the injured Mike Sommer
Looney was hurt himself when he
got back to quarterbacking in the
third period and couldn't ever
threaten to pass. but he
promptly ran around end for IA
yards on the split-T option play
for the biggest gain in the touch
down march that clinched the
game for CIV.

All Of q sudden Virginia has a
real good passing attack, which
when mixed with Jim Bakhtiar'S
powerful running, can make the
Cavaliers hard to get along with.
Quarterback Nelson Yarbrough,
taking over as the starter since
Reece Whitley was injured the
week before, is the one respon-
Sible for this new life. Until
last Saturday his passing was
soft stuff, sort Of lob that went
nowhere in particular. But last
Saturday he was whipping the
ball around right well and COM
pleted 10 Of 10 attempts.
II the Virginia coaches can
smooth out his operation of the
split-T option play, with which
the Cavaliers are doing nothing
so far. there's a chance the team
will do very well from here on
lin.
Now that the Cavaliers have
found out Yarbrough can pass,
they are likely to go places. He'll
have to throw to his halfbacks

Iformly good, or at least better
than adequate. Hardin-Simmons
had an excellent aerial attack
with all sorts of spreads and
fancy combinations, and it
brought in a record of q COM
pletions in 46 attempt. The Col
|onials played hob with that aver
age, allowing 10 competitions in
26 attempts, and intercepting
three.
CIV alternated its style of air
IdefenSeS, at times rushing the
pasSer and at other times dog
Iging the receivers. Good scouting
also must have had something to
do with pass defense, too. because
Hardin-Simmons had a tricky
spread on which the wide man
cuts in and a halfback sweeps
lout. CIV, however, was expecting
that halfback sweep and always
had 1t covered.

Looney, as a defensive back,
made a brilliant save early in
the game that helped turn the
game in GW's favor. The Cow.

the CIV II in the first period
and seemed unStoppable. They
had used only one pass in the
game up to then. and the time
was ripe, with GW's defenses
drawn in. But when Quarterback
Ken Ford of Hardin Simmons
tossed a real good one to a team
mate in the end zone. Looney
came from out of nowhere to
bat 1t down. If that one pass
had been completed it would
have been a different ball game

Futher of End
Talks of Teams
Failure to Click
Navy, IA: Cornell, 0
By BILL FUCHS

High over the State Of New
York ON the way home from
Ithaca, one of Nays staunchest
supporters said his favorite team
lacked something.
1.-The teams not clicking"
Earle Smith, ST.. said over the
roar of the two aircraft engines.
IT don't know what it is exactly,
ia little tension, uncertainty. per-
haps. But they're not clicking"
Smith, an eaSy-going Ala
baman who manages the safety
division for the Waterman and
Pan Atlantic Steamship COM
panieS, qualities as an expert.
A former star of the University
of Alabama and a member of
that schools 1926 Rose Bowl
team, Smith is a former coach.
And no one could accuse him
of having anything but pro-Navy
sentiment. His son, Earle, jr.,
plays end for the Middies.
Praise for Cornell
Those other fellows (Cornell)
were really keyed up" he said.
"You know. it's unbelievable that
a team can get trounced by Col
gate one week and the next week
look that good.
Outside of George Welsh and
Ron Beagle l think Navy has
just as good a club as last year.
And they don't have to depend
so much on Just two guys now
I think they'll be better off in
the long run because of that"
1t is with a bit of apprehen-
sion that Smith and other Navy
lrooters look to New Orleans and
Saturdays game with Tulane.
THE Green Wave should pose q
much more serious threat than
either William g. Mary or Cor
nell. Nays first two victims.
Perhaps, as Smith points out,
Navy needed a couple of games
to get its sea legs. Maybe Satur-
day the team will begin to click.
1t would be unjust to say Navy
was a bad-looking outfit against
Cornell. The MiddieS were a far
superior team. as is reflected in
the statistics. But except for the
two touchdownS, one on a IL
yard pass play and the other on
a sustained drive, the Navy Of.

keeps opponents worried. The
ColonialS quick kicked on second
down near midfield the first time
they had the ball in this game,
and it went down to the eight.
