| and Listless-Gracie,s Long Run
The Gallaudet College football team
yesterday afternoon put decided crimI
University team by playing it to a stand
still in hard game, the final score Of
which was 5 to s. Georgetown was over
confident and did not play up to the
standard it has displayed in important
games this year. Gallaudet infused its
play with a do-or-die spirit that cut no
little figure in the result.
Georgetown scored a touchdown and
missed goal in the first half, during which
time its goal was never placed in jeopardy
| by its opponents. In the second half the
tables were turned, and nearly all the
playing was done In Georgetown territory,
! Gallaudet scoring the touchdown that tied
the score twenty minutes after the half
| opened. 1t failed an easy goal. which IL
| kicked would have won the game. The
centre OF the Georgetown line seemed to
| be an easy proposition for Gallaudet,
| Waters and Andree nearly always sue
ceeding in making the required distance
at this point. The punting game was not
INDUCED in to any extent, but when it was
Deylin had all the better of it.
Georgetown played listless game
throughout both halls and seemed unable
TO wake up even when a touchdown seemed
imminent. The absence from behind the
line of the two crack backs, Riley and
Barry, Handicapped the team to a consid-
cradle extent. Riley was put in toward
the end of the last half. but was clearly
in no condition to play. Georgetown
played carefully. not wishing to risk in
Juries that might prove fatal to the sue
cess of the team in the game with North
Carolina on Thanksgiving Day. Notwth-
standing these facts, Galiaudet deserves
not little credit for its good showing.
large crowd of rooters accompanied the
team TO the Georgetown campus and
made great demonstration when Waters
made the touchdown that tied the score.
Stars of the Day.
Gallaudet used close formation style OF
play that proved quite effective in bucking
the line. while the interference on end
runs was first-class. Waters, Andree,
Erickson, Guilfuss, and Nicholas were the
stars of the team. Devlin played his usual
game for Georgetown, while Buckley made
number of sensational and clever tackles,
breaking through flock of Gallaudet in
terferers and bringing his man down each
time. Oracle, who has been out of the
game most OF the season. played halfback
in Barry's place. and made the star run
of the day in the first half, circling the
Gallaudet right end for thirty-five yards.
The field was quite slippery, and some
times the runners fell without being
tackled Fumbles were, however, consid-
ering the weather, surprisingly few
Coach Bull, of the Georgetown team, was
absent. having gone to Charlottesville to
witness the Virginia North Carolina game,
and to get line on the Thanksgiving Day
game opponents. Doubtless his presence
would have been considerable stimulus
to the sleepy Georgetown team.
The Gallaudet students were nearly
crazy with Joy at their unexpected show
ing and after the game made great
demonstration on their way to Gallaudet
College On several occasions during the
game they gave their college yell. which.
though unintelligible to the ordinary per-
son. is nevertheless quite noisy. In fact,
