CAMP SEEMS TO THINK he's got the makings of
good bunch this year. certainly better than last years
group. They only won three games. There several
for Camps optimism Two Of them are Army and
Syracuse. They not the schedule this year and
nobody will miss them except maybe Army and Syracuse
Camp is also heartened, for understandable reasons,
to know Dick Drummond will be with G. w. again for
final fling. There certainty about Drummond's
return until the bo-chemiStry department at Minnesota
recently returned his grades
Drummond, prime pro halfback prospect becomes
freshman med student To clear the afternoons for
football practice he Summered at Minnesota to polish off
the which would have kept him in the lab four
days week and not the practice field, where Camp
needs him badly.
Drummonds Self-Sacrfce might not be appreciated by
G. WIS nine opponents but Camp and his coaching staff
impressed by his dedication. He might be the first
med student to play football in years This is conjecture
What is not conjecture is that without the future Dr.
Drummond pounding the turf Camp would require the
services of doctor specializing in tensions.
Drummond is that good. He gained over half the
groundage W. picked up last The year before as
a soph this nave-born 195-pounder led the Nation in
kickoff returns Camp is hopeful Drummond doesn't get
too many opportunities to lug back kckoffs this year.
Camp doesn't anticipate G. w. being scored often as
it has been.
A NEWCOMER ON THE roster whose presence begged
explanation is Doug Mcneil 23O-pound tackle from
Torrance Calf 1t unusual for Caforniaborn and based
football players to wind up as far east as George Washing
University They often intercepted in South Bend
Mcneil to G. w. accidentally. He was at Balm
bridge Prep, trying to qualify for Annapolis Either Wayne
Hardin overlooked him he failed to make it academic
ally Camp isn't sure which But when Mcneil found him
self without college to attend his COACH Charlie Perkins,
who played at G. w, steered him to old alma mater.
Camp is certain he'll have reason to thank Perkins
profusey for his continuing interest in the old school,
ssMcNel should become great tackle" Camp dubbed
AT the moment Camp will settle for something just above
medocriy that spot He lost slew of em last year by
graduation and of the eight prospects sopho-
mores.
UNLIKE THE BIG SQUADS he used to when he
was a player at North Carolina and later assistant
coach at Minnesota Camp will have only 40 Al players
at most at G. W.
The figure indefinite at the moment depending
the status of Hugh Kaufman Kaufman is 160-pounder
who never has played a lick of football in either high
school college He could get his big chance with Camp
this year. He's G. WIS substitute kicking specialist

him back-up man to Mark Gross, the irs-string
kicker.
This year George Washington also will be stronger in
the press box probably better equipped there than any
school in the country They have hired Jack Zane to do
their publicity maored in the art of college sports
propaganda under Joe Blair at Maryland
Although this is only his rookie year at G. W, Zane
already carries a lot of weight At last countdown he
missed the scales pound cutoff point by only two
