WASHINGTON, . D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1935, Plotnicki Forgets 93-Yard Touchdown : Six Capital Elevens on Firing Lin LEEMANS APy [ criaesavs™] peps FND ROUGH 10 WARM BENCH | Sees Understudy in Grid Drama as Team Wins | Freak Contest. | BY ROD THOMAS. AYBE you'd care to know the reaction of Tuffy Leemans, George Washington's “one- man" foot ball team, to the Colonials’ freakish 15-7 victory over | West Virginia. He said today: “They'll stop talking sbout the Leemans A. C. now, I hope. It was getting painful.” Injured, Tuffy sat on the bench throughout the contest between the Colonials and Mountaineers at Grif- fith Stadium last night and witnessed some foot ball oddities. He saw the home team make only two first downs, and one of these on a penalty, yet win by a fairly dedisive score. But Tuffy and others of the George Washington squad, including the | coaches. received a genuine jolt be- tween the halves when they con- | gratulated Ben Plotnicki, the lad who | took Leeman's place, on a 93-}'am‘ touchdown run following an intei- | cepted pass. With Deming's place- | ment kick it tied the score at 7-7. | Plotnicki couldn't remember the run. Ben Knocked Goofy. ! THREE plays before, at the end of the first period, he was hit by | a couple of Mountaineer backs and_‘ there his medulla, or something, was | Jarred, and shortly after the scoring | play, when he fielded a punt in stupid fashion, Jim Pixlee. the Colonial coach, yanked him. He was not per- mitted to re-enter the game, forcing George Washington to play the entire | eecond half without a punter, passer or ball runner of proved ability. With no running or passing attack worth mentioning, G. W. won the game by forcing the breaks. West Virginia came to town heralded as A& passing outfit. Deming, Prathe: Kolker. Cottingham, Wright, Yur- Witz and Morris, forwards, took turns rushing the Mountaineer throwers eand in only one instance was the West Virginia passer, Moan or Gocke, permitted to chuck with time to spare, and this on a short heave that gained | about 3 yards. ‘ Dale Prather, a tackle, who was | “set down” a few days back for seem- | ing indifference, was a particular annoyance to the West Virginia passers. Yurwitz and Morris, flank- men, heretofore glued to the bench, made Jim 'Pixlee bite his cigars in two in joy. The paucity of end talent has been his biggest bother. Yurwitz and Morris dumped a lot of inter- ference and made some very helpful tackles. Intercepted Passes Win, GEORGE WASHINGTON scored two touchdowns, both on intercepted | passes, and a safety all in the second stanza to gain a 15-7 lead, which held up to the finish. Plotnicki got off his 93-yarder. Sid Kolker blocked a Kelly Moan punt to send the ball beyond | the end zone for an automatic safety and Herb Reeves, just before the recess whistle, intercepted a Gocke fling and galloped 72 yards for a touchdown | Little was mentioned about Glenn Carder in the George Washington- | West Virginia ballyhoo, but he was the outstanding foot baller on the field last night. The Mountaineers scored | an honest-to-goodness 59-yard touch- down in the first period on 16 plays and Carder handled the ball nine times. Only one pass was thrown by | the “air-minded” Mountaineers in the march down the field, and this by Carder, which was not com- plct_ed His able assistant on the | scoring drive was Fullback Joe Zales- | kie, whose 16-yard run, supplemented | by several shorter ones, with the goal | nearing, was important. Carder made | the last short gain and Angelo Onder placekicked the extra point. The paradoxical figures of the George Washington - West Virginia game today recalled the battle be- tween the Colonials and Tulsa in 1933 in which Tulsa scored two touch- downs although losing ground from scrimmage. | Reeves on His Toes. | HERB REEVES, a long-legged, big- handed and hard-thinking back, perhaps had more to do with break- ing up West Virginia's vaunted aerial attack than any other Colonial. Reeves intercepted three passes and prevented others of the Mountaineers’ 22 from being completed. George | Washington tried only one pass and | this was a failure. West Virginia completed four. The crippled Colonials’ battle against West Virginia was planned carefully and with 18 out of 22 passes grounded or intercepted—six of the | latter—a hat or two might be tilted | to 'Possum Jim.

PLAYER IS UNDER FIRE Richmond Tells Emory and Henry Clark Played for Terps. RICHMOND, Va.. October 19 (#).— An assertion by University of Rich- mond athletic authorities that Fred Clark, Emory and Henry halfback, played freshman foot ball at the Uni- versity of Maryland was on file today. As the Spiders and the Wasps squared off here Richmond officials insisted, however, that no protest had been filed against Clark, who comes from Ridgeley, W. Va. Glenn Thistlethwaite, Richmond coach. said last night he did not know if the Wasps planned to use Clark today. Under Southern Conference rules, to which Virginia Conference teams subscribe, Clark would be ineligible for competition if the Richmond claim is true, — FEAR FOR MINOR BALL Gear, Quitting Western League, Thinks Its Day Is Over.

IN RUNNING up four times as many points on St. John's as two in- NIOWHIOLLL 0z terhigh rivals combined previously | had scored, Central’s offense looms as decidedly threatening.

Especially pleasing was the come- back of the bare-headed George Min- ton, who ripped off runs of 39 and 55 yards to touchdowns, the last coming |as a climax to the most sensational play of the day. A pass, Vermillion to Fox, loomed disastrous when the latter found himself in the near- clutch of two tacklers, but Fox clev- lateraled to Minton near the sideline, who raced across the Cadets’ goal from mid-field. Leo Dunn again proved St. John's only hope, but the Cadet captain found himself handicapped by a line that was no match for the Central forward wall. Coach Hardy Pearce’s second and third stringers proved little inferior to the regulars.

Trzeciak also returned a punt 25 yards to give the home-towners an- other scoring chance and kicked a punt that traveled 63 yards from the line of scrimmage. He converted three | extra points with dropkicks and nar- | | rowly missed a 40-yard try for a field | goal. Outside of that, Trzeciak loafed.

He won a packet, and I don't hold it against him. I simply hope that he spent his winnings on a yacht, a | gold mine or a trip around the world | at the prevailing odds last week. That’s the sort of thing that leads to gunplay. There are some good foot ball games on the card this week. The one between Yale and Navy should have some bearing on the Eastern championship. Pittsburgh's claim to this title will be pretty sound, too, |if the Panthers lick Notre Dame. Northwestern may set Ohio State a fairly stiff test, and the Army game should give us some inkling about Harlow's plans at Harvard. i Others in Title Hunt. ;BESIDES Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Ohio, seven teams are mak- |ing a bid for the so-called national title. There are other teams which stand undefeated, but these seven have the best pretensions on the strength of their schedules and their records last year. They appear to be California, Duke, Holy Cross, Michigan State, Minnesota, Rice and ‘Temple. California is the leading Rose Bowl candidate from the West at this early date, though the most innocent looking sort of schedule on the coast is likely to have a pitfall in it some- where. Rice, Pittsburgh, Ohio and Minne- sota are seasoned campaigners for the title, which was generally award- ed to Minnesota last year. Holy Cross and Michigan State, after threatening for some time, seem at last to have flowered out in their full strength. For all we know Michigan State may be the toughest club of them all. Temple has one of those suicide schedules. If Pop Warner squeezes through it he will be in a fair way to pay off the mortgage on the old Temple homestead. Duke has been advertised for quite a spell now as the power house of the South, with Georgia and North Carolina threat- ening to give her an argument this Autumn. In short, another Saturday has rolled around, and your guess is still as good as any one else’s.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. HERE is another side to foot ball—apart from all the talk miss 70,000 by many human souls At pivot post. about big stadia, proselyting. recuiting and overemphasis, | There is also the side that finds sev- | eral million people marching each Sat- urday to several hundred foot ball fields—crowds that run from 10,000 | to 70,000—getting a big kick out of life that would be missing if there were no foot ball. Your old friend. Adam Smith. has shown you that a nation's wealth is based upon its happiness—so you can figure what an Autumn Saturday would be if there were no foot ball games. There would always be a sub- stitute—but what sort of sub- stitute? “I know and you know that foot ball has its weak spots,” Tad Jones | said. “But has any one figured out | something to take its place—some- thing that would be better—something | that would bring mcre fun to both | the player and the crowd? Sure, it | tsm't perfect, but how much perfection | do you find scattered around? Color, | music, cheering, action and thrills— what else could fill this gap? They never think of that.” “Of course.” Bob Zuppke says, “foot ball is a rough game and in a way it is a sort of Roman holiday. That's one reason so many young fellows like it. It gives them the chance to be a | certain sort of hero. What's wrong | in that? What's wrong in having a big stadium filled with 75,000 people having a good time? “Why is everything that leads to fun always wrong to so many people? T still say that foot ball is the last frontier of ruggedness in American | life.” You can also figure the amount of money that is scattered around. Twenty million dollars each Saturday is a light estimate. Covering the Map. THmTY years ago, most of the big foot ball crowds were in the East or around a few high spots of the Middle West. Today, foot ball covers the map. I can recall when 5,000 was a big turn- out in the South. Now Southern crowds run to capacity—from 20,000 to 35000—even in towns with less than 25,000 population. The Pennsylvania team, already beaten twice, will pass 150,000 today against Columbia. Yale, playing Navy, will jump well beyond the 100,000 mark in its second big game. Notre Dame will play to at least 180,000 spectators in her three games— Pittsburgh, Navy and Ohio State. The three-game mark may reach 200,000, with a 92,000 sell-out waiting in her Ohio Stage start.

Coach Jack Hagerty of the Hilltop | apparently was sincere m his intention of benching five regulars two of them to be yanked from the backfield. In place of Tom Keating and Bob Ferrara, the Hoya chieftain was to send Bob Nolan and Don Gibeau be- hind the line, while in the forward wall Dave Noonan, Cy Cummings and Mike Fuardo were to replace Cava- dine, Vaccaro and Hardy. Gallaudet, with two regulars on the sidelines with injuries and another ex- pected to play despite a game leg, was hoping for the best against Shenan- doah. Bill Rogers and Dar: Long are the Blues on the bench. Racy Drake, one of the leading Gallaudet ball car- riers, is the third battered player, but he hoped to start the game American University's squad is in generally good shape and therefore an exception. The Eagles conceded them- selves at least an even chance against the Coast Guardsmen. who whipped Middlebury last week after sustaining successive defeats from Wesleyan and Worcester Tech.

One reason for the big change is that foot ball strength is no longer banked in any one section. The South and the Southwest. especially, have come slashing along at top speed in the last few years—from the Caro- linas to Texas, from Georgia to Oklahoma. | It was Dan McGugin and Vander- | bilt who first got Southern foot oall moving up—by tying Yale and the Navy, then by beating one of Car- lisle’s best teams. Since then it has taken Southern teams to hold the Far West in check at the Rose Bowl, where the East and the Midwest have been bowled over the majority of times. Ohio State traveled west with a conference championship, and Cal- ifornia ran over Ohio State, 28 to 0. Pittsburgh has been slaughtered along the Pacific more than once. | But in Rose Bowl games Alabama has won three times and tied once, Georgia Tech has won and Tulane | has lost against one of the best of the Southern California teams—so the South’s record against the Far West is four victories, one defeat and one tie—a percentage of .800. | The Way It Goes. | I FOUND out last Winter in California | that the Far Westerners would | rather meet a leading team from the East or the Midwest. This is natural. The Far Western | average against the East and the Mid- west has been overwhelming. Against the South it has been one victory out of six starts. The South comes in well ac- climated—plus pride of section. Notre Dame and Columbia have been two Midwestern-Eastern excep- ! tions. hTey also came on to win— not for the joy ride. The West Coast this year would be | much obliged not to have a Southern team. The Western Conference won't play |in the Far West league. This leaves | Notre Dame and Michigan State as | the best bets. Most of the big teanls in the East don't care for the Rose Bowl bid—and 1 have an idea the West Coast won't welcome Pop Warner's Temple team— or little Villanova. So the scene shifts to the South again—North Carolina or Duke—may- be Georgia—and any team that can come through that Southwestern sec- tor unbeaten can’t be shoved into the ash can—not if the West Coast is dooking for the best. Rice—S. M. U—Texas Chris- tian—one of them. It begins to look as if the West Coast had to look to the South or the Southwest—not a healthy dish— but at least an exciting one.
