/ georgetown varsity Eleven Have No
Trouble Defeating the Visitors.
The Georgetown University campus yes
/ terday afternoon was the scene of one of
I the most interesting games of football
played here this season. The benches were
I filled with enthusiastic spectators, and the
/ blue and grey of the university intermixed
I with the brilliant colors worn by Washing
/ tons fairest representatives gave to the
/ field a framing of beauty that greatly
/ enhanced the scene within. Both teams
/ arrived promptly and were received
with cheers. The Baltimore boys began
( passing the ball. and seemed determined to
win, but they captured only points dur
/ ing the game, while the Georgetown boys
/ took Il.
! The team that came from the Monumen-
tai City cannot be called the Baltimore
1 Medical College team. for that team dis
! banded on Monday last, and the team
which lined up against Georgetown was or
ganized from such members as could be
secured from the city players. Some of the
fumbling and mix-ups on their part may
be properly attributed TO this fact Their
play consisted principally of line bucking.
/ as their interference on end running was
very weak. The punting Of Noble was
irst-class. and the work Of Nolan as full
back deserves favorable comment, although
he was too light to have much effect
against the solid line of Georgetown. The
backs were also weak in running and in
reference, and their best gains were made
by the men in mass plays.
Georgetown outplayed the visitors al
every point, and but for the accidental
touching Of the pigskin by Deylin, they
would not have scored.
Deylin played a hard fast game and re-
trieyed any shortcomings by long gains and
sure tackles. O'Gorman's punting was
creditable. and in the latter half was
brought into frequent use. The game was
free from slugging and other disagreeable
features.
The game in detail:
Noble for Baltimore, kicked of TO the
10-yard line, but the ball was returned to
the centre Of the field on account of off
play. On the second ldck-off the ball was
caught by Develin and advanced eighteen
yards. By steady advances the ball was
carried back 70 the centre of the field,
where it was lost on downs. On the second
down a bad tumble was made by the Wis
itors, but through a lucky chance, Noble
fell on it. BY an end play and several
line bucks ten yards were netted. The
ball went to Georgetown on a foul. George
town began a serious of vigorous line
smashing plays, but the boys from Oyster
town held like a stone wall and the buck
ing was abandoned. The ends were given
attention again, and gains Of five, eight
and ten yards were made, until a pretty
tackle by Scannell lost them three yards.
The star run OF the game, by Develin,
netted Georgetown thirty yards. Successive
rushes of five and seven yards carried
O'Gorman over the line for the first touch
down. O'Gorman tried for goal but failed

Of play.
Noble, Baltimore's quarter back. kicked
off TO the 10-yard line, and the ball was
advanced fifteen yards and then went to
the visitors on foul play. Mackay broke
through for a fine tackle, causing q loss
OF three yards. Through successive line
bucks and a few end runs the visitors car
ried the ball TO the 30-yard line, where
| they attempted a place kick from the field
This was neatly blocked by Georgetown, and
the ball bounded back with a loss OF eight
cen yards.
Baltimore, however, retained the ball and
punted for thirty-f1ye yards. Deyelin FUN
bled and the visitors gained the ball on
Georgetown's 7-yard line. Georgetown then
took a brace and, after gaining the ball
on downs, punted for twenty-five yards
| The visitors punted the ball and Develin
was about TO catch it, when Coach Church
shouted from the side line to let It 70
over the line. The warning came too late
The oval struck Develin's foot, putting the
Baltimore players on side and as 1t
bounded across the line, Dunsmore fell upon
IL, scoring the only five points made by
the visitors. Noble failed to kick goal.
O'Gorman kicked off for Georgetown
After several fruitless plays, the Baltimore
team fumbled and Georgetown gained the
ball. Only two minutes remained for
play with the ball fifteen yards from
the Baltimoreans' goal The specta-
tors arose in their seats and, amid the wav-
ing Of the blue and grey, shouted them
selves hoarse for Georgetown. BY line
! bucks by Develin, Cummings and Lennane
The ball was carried TO the Baltimores' g.
yard line, where 1t was given to "Cy' Cum
mings. the big left guard. who plowed
through the line for the last touchdown OF
| the game. O'Gorman kicked goal and the
score was II 20 s IN Georgetown's favor.
Noble made a beautiful kick TO George
towns 5-yard line, but time was called
| after the visitors second down
After ten minutes intermission play was
resumed with kick OFF by Cummings.
Then followed line bucks by the Baltimore
| team. which netted them twenty five yards
! Georgetown then made q strong stand and
forced them to punt. Deyelln caught, and
