ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 12-In the game
here this morning. the team representing
the St Johns College of Annapolis sur
prised the strong Georgetown eleven by
playing them to standstill- Georgetown
came on the field confident of an easy
victory. This attitude OF confidence was
displayed in the carelessness of the men
in the early part of the game. This. how
ever. was soon dispelled. and before mary
minutes of play they realized that they
were up against a hard proposition.
Georgetown's playing was loose and
ragged. and in striking contrast TO the
game the boys put up last Saturday
against the Middles. Perhaps it was the
result of that game which led them to
think that they need not play hard to win
today's game. Buckley. at quarter. did
not play with his usual brilhancy- lie
fumbled frequently, and several of his
passes were very poor.
The whole left side of the line seemed
TO be lamentably weak, the st. John boys
plowing through for good gains on sever
al occasions. Thedieck, also. at r1sht
guard, seemed to be unable to get under
the plays. The only redeeming feature
about Georgetown's game was when, after
the local bows had steadily rushed the
hall down the field to within half yard
of the goal line. they held and prevented
their opponents from gaining inch in
four downs.
Reilly was easily the star of the game
His playing. on both defensive and often
sive. was excellent. tackling with accur-
acy and force. and his sprint around the
end for IS yards was undoubtedly the feat
iIre of the day. Next in the order of n1er
came Mclaughlin. a new man, who played
with tigerish ferocity. He broke through
his opponent time and again ana naheu

gains and several times circled the ends

second half he secured the ball and wrg-

Gordy and Hutchings also played great
football
Only once did ST. John come within
hailing distance of the goal, and this was
when they had the ball on the half-Sard
line. Georgetown. in the last few MN
utes of play, made a Touchdown, out

an opponent while interfering. The de-
cisior was severely criticised by un-
biased spectators, who did not believe
that the little quarterback held his man.
