Georgetown's game with Richmond
College at Georgetown Field yesterday
afternoon was easier for the former than
a practice lineup with the scrubs, and
the score was much higher in the Var
sity's favor than they could hope to run
up against their husky understudies. At
the end Of one twenty half and one fifteen
minute half the score stood 81 to 0 in
favor Of the blue and the grey. Fifteen
touchdowns and nine goals from touch
down was Georgetown's record.
The Pennsylvania system of play was
used throughout the game. the guards
being called back or over on nearly ev-
cry play This formation was COM
plete mystery to Richmond. The backs
circlcd the ends seemingly at will and
broke through the line as though IL were
made of paper. When the runner fell he
would be picked up and dragged farther
on by his team mates. In fact, anything
to advance the bail seemed to be the sole
idea of the players for the blue and grey.
Richmond was such an easy PROPOSE
ton that the game became monotonous.
Georgetown never lost the ball on downs.
Richmond not once during the game was
able to advance the ball 1--WE yards in
three downs.

Georgetown's offensive play has improved
wonderfully since that time.
