September 1948 Courteous Reader: The playing of sports took the prominent position during this merry month of September, with the G. W. U. Colonials successfully competing in football games with Wake Forest and V. P. I., both being institutions of higher learning and located in North Carolina and Virginia. Poor George says that our team consisted of spirited gentlemen who fought gamely, though losing one of these contests. On the 18th day of the month olde students pre-registered for the fall term and resolved t o perform their lessons more studiously than in the past. Upon their registration at the later date in the month, new students were presented with the University Handbook, which most clearly shewed them of the campus and student activities. 6

With the success of the G.W.-V.P.I. game in Sep- tember, the worth of the new Colonial coaching staff became noticeable. However, Coach Bo Rowland s assistants, apparently modest fellows, have thus far remained mainly in the background. Nevertheless, their contributions were most valuable in the de- velopment of the team. Assistant coach Bo Sherman must be given credit for his work in welding the tough Colonial line, and also for keeping the morale of the team on such a high plane. But certainly not to be overlooked are the contributions made by as- sistant coaches Roger Antaya, Tim Swett, and Andy Victor. Antaya assisted Rowland and Sherman; Swett and Victor built and developed a fine fresh- man squad which promises to provide the ’49 Varsity eleven with new talent. Line Coach Bo Sherman.
