ance, the Colonials last night
pulled the rug out from under
Furman, 14-7, at D. C. Stadium
bsfore their first hometown
gathering of the season, esti-
mated at 1900.
The play bill on GW's sleight-
of-hand trickery read like this:
Charley Reed steals a Fur
man pass on his own goal line
with the score at TT in the
third quarter.
Seven plays later Dick Drum
mond takes a reverse from Bill
Pashe and returns a Furman
punt IS yards.
Another six plays and Tackle
Don Perriello steals the ball
from a Furman halfback on his
own 10-yard line.
Scout Does a Job
Camp later pointed out these
three plays as the hits of the
show, thereby agreeing with the
critics. However, the No. /
crowd d-pleaser among the three
was accomplished with a min
imum of fakery and a maxi
mum of muScle-and rehearsal.
Camp said Don Cochran, the
assistant coach who secuted
Furman the last two week ends,
believed the Paladins were vul-
nerable to a long punt return.
"Furman's punter (Jim Sum-
ner, who leads the Southern
Conference) kicks the ball long
and he kicks it high only now
and then" Cochran explained.
"The kid usually overkicks his
coverage."
On the big play in the third
quarter, Sumner booted from
the Furman 40 and the ball
reached Pasl1e on the CIV 13|
well before the Paladins' de-
tenders. Pashe gave the ball to
Drummond-a standard reverse
maneuver-and Dick headed
for the right Sideline. !,
Practice Pays Off
Then the practice paid off.
Guard Pete Krause wiped out
the first potential taekler. Two
other blocks cleared a path on
the sideline and Drummond
cut back to the middle of the
field with what looked to be
no further distractions. But
Sumner made a tremendous
save, absorbing Bob Lukomski's
block and mailing Drummond
on the Furmar1 2-yard line.
1t only delayed the touch.
down, however, as Quarter
back Frank Pazzaglia plunged
across on the next play and
Warren Corbin kicked his
second extra point with $40
remaining in the period.
On the last play of the
quarter Perriello, a tranSer
from the University Of Michi-
gan, banged into Jerry Thomas
on the CIV 10 and found him.
self with the football, which
he ran to the 33. On second
down Drummond shook loose
for a 43-yard run before Sum-
ner again saved a touchdown
by stopping him on the Furman
18.
Misses Field Goal
A piling-on penalty gave the
ColonialS a first down on the
9 but CIV itself was penalized
back to the 81 and Pazzaglia
lost IL yards trying to pass.
and Corbin missed a field goal
from the 80. Furman had the
ball just twice more, largely be-
cause CIV controlled it for a
dozen, time-consuming plays
in the middle of the quarter
and the Paladins ran out of
downs on their own 46 and on
the CIV %.
The first half was unevent-
full except for the single touch
downs for either side. Furman
struck 65 yards in just five
plays to score with 1927 remain
ing in the half and the Co.
lonials used IA plays and the
next 612 minutes to go 81 yards
to tie it.
After a pass from Elton
Brunty to End Rodger Senter
ate up 81 yards to the CIV IL,
Fullback Elliott Keller banged
off right tackle and drove into
the end zone to give the Pala-
dins first blood.
Drummond gained % yards
and Harry Haught, the right
halfback, accounted for 30 in
the CIV touchdown march be-
fore Pazzaglia passed to End
Dick Duenkel on fourth down |
from the 6 for the score.
