SPORTS » A—I15 Colonial Season Is F'ar From Failure : Florida After Capital Golf Leaders Oilers Find Tuffy Is a Formidable Foeman A“_ [}LUB CHAMPS PUT REAL PUNCH IND.C. FOOT BALL Material Held Overrated.! Field Goal by Deming Beats Tulsa, 3-0. BY ROD THOMAS. After all the criticism that followed George Washington's lopsided defeats | by Alabama and Rice Institute, we may be a little daring today in ap- praising the Colonials of 1935 as something of a success. They show a record of five victories against three defeats. Last night they | licked the onl, aditional” foe on their schedule, Tulsa University, by | 3 to 0, on a 21-yard field goal by Capt Harry Deming. In their main objective of the cam- paign, which was to give Washington some interesting foot ball shows, they | have succeeded thunderously, even in | defeat. | The day will come, no doubt, when | George Washington will be- able to | cope with such teams as Alabama and | Rice, but in their present cl*cum-‘ stances they are comparable to the | good little boxer who fails before big- | ger ones of the same stripe. Material Overrated. THERE has been a sad misconcep- tion of the foot ball material that comes to George Washington. Neither in quantity nor quality is it on @ par with the material that gathers or is gathered at schools which carry on foot ball on & major scale. In its hunt for players—and what school doesn't scout for them?—George ‘Washington invariably is forced to take second pick because some other school can present more attractive in- | ducements. We have first-hand | knowledge that the Buff and Blue is going to find it plenty tough to lure any more high-grade plavers from the State of Texas, whence have come many of its best performers of the last five years. Foot ball is booming as never before in the Lone Star land and gridiron machines of the brand of Rice, Southern Methodist and Texas Christian aren't manufactured | from second choice material. As an example of the Colonials’ fortune in gathering gridiron talent, there was a lad on this year's G. W. freshman team who chose the Capital institution only when he was “turned down” by his home town college be- cause he lacked heft. This youngster | resigned the other day with expecta- tions of landing after all with the school that more attracted him. A Score for Pixlee. f THE triumph over Tulsa was ai heartening one for the Cnlnmn!sj and quite a personal victory for Coach | Pixlee and his staff, who did a first- class job in yanking the boys from the doldrums and reviving their ambi- tion following those crushing defeats| by Alabama and Rice. Pixlee has been the object of no end of criticism by people whom we be- | lieve overestimated by far the po-| tential strength of his squad. But even these must admit that Possum Jim pulled the slickest bit of think- | ing of the season when he scrapped | virtually his entire offense and pre- sented the city with the most sensa- | tional style of play it has seen. Pix- lee captured a lot of good from an ill wind. His team slammed by Alabama and licked by Wake Forest, the coach was confronted with the problem of attracting customers for four more games. He solved it with the tricky formations that kept the Colonials the foot ball talk of the town after their season apparently was “shot.” In performances against colleges more in the gridiron class than Ala- bama and Rice, George Washington has fared exceedingly well. losing only to one, Wake Forest, and that on a questionable play. Yep, there is plenty to be said in defense of Pixlee and his Colonials, if they need any defense. Watching them conquer Tulsa last night you'd think they needed none. It was a| corking foot ball battle, won on merit and a show with constant high tempo. Deming Turns Trick, | CAPT. HARRY DEMING was the hero. In the third period the giant tackle blocked a punt by Mc- Clune, and Dale Prather. also a tackle, | recovered the ball on Tulsa’s 15-yard line. After three plays failed Dem- ing place-kicked the goal The shot was from a slight angle and the oval #alled across the bar about a vard from the right post. Tulsa made its big bid for victory | n the second quarter when the Hurri- cane advanced from its own 20-yard line to George Washington's 7, where Tuffy Leemans nailed Joe Kahl barely short of a first down. Kahl was the outstanding ball runner of the game. | It was Kahl who gained most of the ground on the only long march of the contest, contributing runs of 23 and 17 yards and several other sizable chunks of territory. In the thuid period, Kahl left the field with a severely injured leg after being tackled by Frank Kavalier, a player very mych in the thick of things. Kavalier saved the game for G. W. | n the second half when he pulled down from behind a swift runner, Estel, who had a clear path to the| goal after sprinting 30 yards to the| Colonials’ 30. | Tulsa outgained G. W. by 207 yards | to 95 from scrimmage but its attack always was impotent when the goal neared. The Hurricane was held to a | blank in the air, where G. W. picked up 60 yards. About 12,000 saw the| game which was played in a half drizzle. Line- np: and Summary. Tulsa (0), 2 330 N0 353 PxTmman’ Or —G_W. (Deming). Substitu- (G. W) Morris.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 16.—The Big Ten adheres strictly to its own foot ball affairs this afternoon for the first time of the season, with the business of cham- pionship importance to be transacted at Ann Arbor, Mich., and Columbus, Ohio, At Ann Arbor, mighty Minnesota clashes with Michigan in one of the West's warmest traditional rivalries. A rivalry no less bitter, will be renewed atgColumbus where Ohio State's big team seeks its fourth Conference vic- tory at the expense of Illinois' little, but dangerous eleven. Iowa, with an outside chance of sharing in the title, provided some- thing unexpected happens to Min- nesota and Ohio State, tackles Pur- due at Lafayette, while Wisconsin meets Northwestern at Evanston, and Indiana plays Chicago at Stagg Field. Gopher, Bucks Big Favorites, ]V INNESOTA and Ohio State will be heavy favorites to continue their drives toward shares of the title, but there are upset possibilities in both battles. Minnesota never nas defeated Michigan two years in a 1ow in 22 years of battling. Illinois has caused Ohio State more woe than any othr team except Michigan in the past. Michigan, which held Minnesota's great 1934 array scoreless for two periods last year before taking a 34-t0-0 beating, has been primed to the hilt for today's contest, and a closer struggle than comparative records for the season indicates, | would not be surprising. The Gophers, however, are expected to win and keep the “little brown jug” for an- other year. Illinois is famous for producing up- sets, but there is little danger of the Illini catching Ohio State in a fit of over-confidence. The Buckeyes lost a share of the 1934 championship be- cause of an unexpected 14-to-13 Illinois triumph and will be in no mood for trifling.

By the Associated Press, EW YORK, November 16— Sixto Escobar of Puerto Rico, 1173%; pounds of fighting fury, today was king of the bantamweights. The little fellow decisively belted | Square Garden last night. For 15 rounds Escobar, weighing | (lhren-qu.lners of a pound more than his opponent, played a steady left- hand tatoo on the features of the game but outclassed New Yorker, intermittently crossing over right- | hand smashes which at times had Salica in a bad way.

The New Yorker deemed it best to stay down for a count of nine before rising to meet another storm of leather. In the fifth Escobar had his adver- sary groggy with a series of uppercuts and in the seventh he cut his nose with a left jab. He repeatedly streamed punches into Salica’s face without a return, strength in the ninth round and sailed in with one intent, to land a knock- out punch. He shot both hands to the jaw with all the power he could muster, backed Escobar to the ropes and kept drilling. HE KEPT up the barrage through the tenth and part of the eleventh, but the Puerto Rican took everything without blinking and finally stalled the outburst with savage body blows that sapped Salica’s remaining energies.

Each Winter a representative group of club titleholders gathers at St. Au- gustine to play in this tourney, one of the largest amateur affairs held in Florida. Talbot T.

JOHN JACKSON, who will succeed Prescott Bush as the next United States G. A. leader, is one of the| ancient game's leading experts oo | rule decisions. In the course of the year Jackson is called upon by letter or by phone— | or in person—to answer several thou- sand queries where rules are con-| cerned and arguments develop. You'd be surprised to know how many times A and B get’ into one of these rule debates, rushing to John Jackson or to Innis Brown—or to both— for an opinion that will unravel the tangle. “There is one thing,” Jackson said recently; “about which we could use much more publicity. I am referrirg here to sportsmanship and to golfing ethics. No halfway decent player is | supposed to cheat. But that is only a part of the program we need. Many golf courses could stand for better manners—such, for example, as not holding up the match behind you— the replacing of divots—more courtesy on the course. “I think there should also be a stricter adherence to rules, too many of which are too often violated— largely through carelessness. “After all, there is a set reason for every rule in golf. Each rule means something. If you improve your lie— and your opponent doesn’t—you have obtained & decided advantage and a most unfair one. “If there were no rules, there would be no game of golf. In my opinion, each player owes it to himself and to the game to follow not only the letter, but the spirit of the rules laid down after more than 100 years of trial. Golf under those conditions would be a better game and much more fun for every one concerned.” Jackson is entirely correct.
