has kept slightly in front of
last years successful pace, en-
counters something of a NOM
ent Of truth tonight in an 8
O'Clock date with Boston Uni
versity at D. c. Stadium.
The ColonialS' three remain
ing opponents are Blu, West
Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Since Boston beat West Vir-
ginia last week and the Noun
taineers earlier whipped VPI,
a victory tonight will give CIV
a fair crack at SURPRISING last
years 5-3-1 record.
However, after splitting It's
first six games. another loss
will be impossible to make UP
and will mean a slight come
down in George Washington's
first season under Coach Jim
Camp, compared with a year
ago.
The combination Of Dick
Drummond'S four touchdowns
against William & Mary and
Boston US 1875 upset OF West
Virginia has served to increase
slightly the ticket sales over last
week. A crowd of more than
10000 is expected.
The weather forecast calls
for fair skies and temperatures
somewhere in the 40S.
CIV is q 5-point favorite.
probably because Of its increas-
ing scoring ability and Boston's
lack Of it. The Terriers have
been outpointed. 1888, In five
games, but the middle three
were against Army, Penn State
and Holy Cross.
George Washington has
scored in every manner expect
by recovering a tumble in the
end zone. and from almost any
spot on the field in picking up
127 points to its opponents IS.
Varied Scoring
Ten of its Is touchdowns
have come on runs Of from /
foot to So yards. The five touch
down passes covered anywhere
from 4 to IS yards. Drummond
has run back kickoffs for 81 and
S6 yards. accounting for two of
his eight scores.
Tony Fredicine ran a record
102 yards with a pass inter-
ception last Friday to cap the
1912 romp over William &
Mary. Warren Corbin has
kicked IL extra points in IA
tries and both his field-goal
attempts, from % and 30 yards
away. And there was a safety
against Furman.
Boston U. has been riddled
by injuries and disappointing
performances, causing Coach
Steve Sinko to shuttle his line
UP continually. OF the pre-Sea-
son starting eleven, only five
still had their jobs entering
the West Virginia game. The
Mountaineers then shelved four
Terrier linemen with injuries
for this weeks game.
But Blu still is the biggest
team to face the Colonials to
date. averaging more than 2l0
in the line and almost 200
among the backs. Jackie Far
land and Tom Daubney have
completed 80 of their SO passes
for 467 yards.
Meadows Tough Rival
Coach Gene Corum Of West
Virginia said this week that
BUS Charlie Meadows is the
Understanding fullback his
team has met this year and
Left Halfback George Byrd also
was tough to bring down. Both
weigh 205 pounds and Byrd is
rated a 9.9-second man in the
100-yard dash, but between
them they've scored only one
touchdown in 80 carries.
CIV this week regained the
services of Capt. Steve Bart
nicki at right tackle. but his
right shoulder remains weak
from a hairline fracture, and
Jim Tricolli again will start.
Bill Pashe, Drummond's sub
stitute on defense, will remain
sidelined with damaged liga-
ments in his left knee.
Therefore, CIV retains its
starting lineup for the third
time this season, with Dick
Duenkel and Faul Munley at
ends, Cliff Botyos and Tricolli
at tackles, Gary Scollick and
Rich Hornfeck at guards and
George Stone at center, plus
Quarterback Bill Hardy, Half
backs Drummond and Lou De-
Simone and Fullback Jim john
son.
If there is anything to it, this
is GW's week to lose, according
to the cycle so far. The 30-6
FASTING dealt Virginia Military
three weeks ago didn't break
the habit Of winning only every
other game, but the William
g. Mary mismatch might have.
Besides, the Colonials are play
ing in their favorite park, and
that means much more.
