  FENLON FIERY. LEADER IN c. v. WIN George Washington University won by three touchdowns! 1t was not that Washington and Lee was weak. It was that George Washington was strong. “ZuZu” Stewart, Chris Dooz, Bill Parrish, Tom Dixie and Johnny Fenlon came through with flying colors. Wray. substitute end. also. Malta. substitute quarterback, also. Others, too, and many of them. Analysing that 18 to 0 Colonial victory brings to light several in. tereSting facts and observations. G. w. Team Clicks The break” which inspired G. w. came in the first quarter. Kriemelmeyer punted. 1t was a high punt. Henthorne, W. and L. fullback, tried to catch it. The ball struck his chest and rolled toward the G. w. team. The Colonials took possession of the leather. Fenlon was fiery, was a leader, right then. G. w. had its chance, and the team clicked. w. and l.. was stubborn on defense. Fenlon did not hesitate to take to the air. Colonial coaches were worried about G. WIS forward passes. Was not Lee Carltn out of the game? Johnny Fenlon wasn’t worried. He called for a pass. He tossed the ball, right at w. and LIS right halfback, in the zone. Fred Mulvey started to fall. The ball licked the w. and l.. mans fin gers. Mulvey caught the leather just as it hit the ground. 1t was a remarkable catch. COlinials Inspired G. w. went from team not exa3tly sure of itself to one in Spired. Fenlon, fiery, scintillating and, above everything else, thinking, drove his team as only fine quarterback can. While w. and l.. was still stunned by the suddenness of that first touchdown, Fenlon unloosed his finest plays at the Gen. erals. Door and Stewart, supposedly not good offensive guards, we’re playing football right up to the mark Bill Parrish was clicking. So was Kriemelmeyer who is a fine football player despite his own thoughts on the subject. Chambers was breezing, and bring ing his team up to scratch by his personal work. Guards Clear Path Fenlon knew his guards were clicking on offense. He called for G. WIS best play, a short end run, or “cut-back.” He carried the ball himself. Given perfect cooperation, he scampered about 81 yards to touchdown. On the other touchdown play, when FINS Parrish dashed SIS yards, after catching a pass from Malta, five w. and L. men were in positions to catch and stop him. Those five men were perfectly blocked by five G. w. at lacking units. 1t was great play. ing.
