In a game well worthy the day the foot
ball teams of Georgetown University and
the University of North Carolina played
each other to standstill on Georgetown
Field yesterday afternoon, by score of 0
to Q. Throughout fifty minutes of play
the two elevens struggled for supremacy,
but the defensive play of both was SO
good that on only one occasion did either
come near scoring. Near the end OF the
last half Georgetown advanced the ball 10
the Tarheelers 2-yard line. but there were
repulsed, and could not cross the coveted
goal line
crowd of fully 1000 people watched
the game from the bleachers along the side
line, from the grandsiand. and from houses
which overlooked the field outside the
grounds. OF course the Georgetown SYM
patbisers were in the majority. yet there
were quite a number who wore the blue
and white of North Carolina.
There was a large sprinkling of promi-
nent society people present. and num-
her of stylish turnouts. An automobile
drag, filled with half dozen Georgetown
girls and their escorts, all blowing horns
and waving the blue and grey, attracted
considerable attention. The Georgetown
rooters lined the west side of the field and
chanted their college songs and sent their
yells deiantly across the white lined grid

The defensive play OF both teams was
superb. At critical points the rush lines
were impregnable and the ends were sell
dom circled for anything but small gains
The ball was in the air mcst OF the time,
both sides resorting to the punting game
frequently. Deylin and Graves were pref
ty well matched kickers and honors were
fairly even with them at the close Of the
game.
With the exception of the time in the
second half when Georgetown nearly
scored the game was kicking one.
Neither team was able to gain steadily
; and had to punt or lose the ball on downs
iand they generally chose the former al
sentative.
Captain Devlin's work was superior to
. that of any man on the feld. He was the
, life OF the Georgetown team, and in ad-
dition TO his splendid pnnt,ng made the
longest runs OF the day. Buckley did
lot of clever work in running back Graves
lpunts and made any number of good
tackles. Oracle played drst-class de-
feasive game. Riley won plenty Of ap-
plsuse by the hard manner In which he
broke UP the Tarheelers' swift interior

by Finnegan. and emily once did ths Caro-

The game was scheduled to begin prompt
" at $50. few minutes before that
time the North Caroltnn team came onto
the field, and were greeted lnsdly by their
supporters, who were present In no small
numbers The Georgetown rootars on the
west side Of the field kept still and watched
the youngsters critically while they linn
bered up. When the Georgetown team
came on the feld at q run they were given
the Georgetown slogan. The crowd then
settled back and waited for the game to
Commence Twenty-Five minutes was de-
cided upon as the length OF the halls, the
coin was spun, North Carolina winning, and
Georgetown kicked off.

North Carolina tried TO smash the line, and
then to circle the end. but neither time
did they make material gain. Graves
punted twenty-five yards. A little later
Devlin punted, honors being about even
on the exchange Each team would gain
. short distance by line plunges and short
dashes around the end and then would
either lose the ball on downs or would
punt
Toward the end of the first half the
play resolved itself into punting duel |
between the opposing full backs. Devlin |
and Graves. The latter generally received |
Devlin's prnts and made several good re- |
turns, on one occasion returning practi- |
cally without interference for twenty |
yards. The ends of both teams generally |
