to make it as agreeable as possible for the
ladies, and entertained them with the sing
ing of college songs.
The game yesterday was the first this
season in which the Georgetown boys have
had TO deal with any sort of rowdyism.
The Maryland team, when they found that
they could not defeat the varsity began TO
slug. 1t must be said TO the credit of the
Georgetown eleven that they he'd them
selves in check and did not return a single
blow until late in the second half. WnCn
the Georgetown boys did return the slug
ging it was because they were driven to it
by their opponent
Both teams played a line game, and were
especially strong on close formation plays.
The field was entirely too muddy for end
plays and fast work. Reardon and Barry,
of the Georgetown team, made several 15-
yard runs, which if the grounds had been
dry, would have resulted in touch downs
The Georgetown team undoubtedly played
the best game that it has played this sea
son, and a great improvement was shown
throughout the entire team.
The guards and tackles played low and
made themselves felt in every play. Be
hind the line the backs showed more speed
and did much stronger interference work
than they have hitherto. Greene, who cap
tained the team played the star defensive
game of the day. On every kick he was
the first down the field and usually was
the man to do the tackling. Reardon,
Barry, Rice Devlin, and Oracle played an
excellent game behind the line. Cummings,
Lennalne and Wimsat worked well to-
gether in the line. On the Maryland team
the work of Whitehurst, ShCely, Mcguire
and Walker was especially noticeable,
The game began at 4 o'clock. Cummings
kicked off for the varsity to Walker, who
was thrown on the 30-yard line by Greene.
For a while the Maryland boys had the
local team frightened and rushed the ball
up TO the centre of the field, where they
lost it on downs. Georgetown then tried
the famous tuTtle-ba plays and worked
the ball up 10 the 40-yard line, where they
kicked. SheeIy fumbled the ball and
Greene fell on it on the Marylanders'
2-yard line On the next play Deylin car
Tied the ball over for a touchdown. Greene
failed to kick goal. Score. to Q, in favor
Of Georgetown. On the kickoff the George
town boys got the ball on their 35-yard
line. They then hammered the line Tor
five, ten, and fifteen yards at time until
within three yards Of the goal, when Rear
don went through tackle for a touchdown.
Greene kicked the goal. Score, II to 0, in
Georgetown's favor. But two minutes Of
play remained. The Georgetown boys start
ed to work the ball up the field and sue
ceeded in getting it to the l5yard line of
their opponents, when by a bad tumble
they lost the ball and the Marylanders
kicked it to the centre Of the field. Time
was called and the first half ended. Score,
Il TO 0. in favor Of Georgetown.
In the second half the ball ebbed back and
forth. first in the Marylanders' and then in
the Georgetowns territory, for about ten
minutes play Then the Georgetown boys
braced up, and getting possession of the
ball on their 50-yard line they again COM
menced their turtle back plays and ham
mered the Marylanders' line for three and
five yard gains at every rush. On the 30
yard line Reardon went around the end for
ten yards Here the visitors held them for
three downs and got possession Of the ball,
but Immediately lost it on tumble.
Georgetown then hammered the line for
five yards at a time until their opponents
4-yard line was reached, when O'Donnell
went over for a touchdown Greene kicked
the goal Score II to 0.
Three minutes remained TO be played
and the Marylanders kicked off to the To-
Gals. Georgetown commenced hammering
the visitors line and had worked the ball
well up In their territory when time was
called
