INDIAN PLAYS IN THE GAME
Twirls for Visitors and Treats Blue and

Blewett and Cox Off in Their Speed
Opportune Hitting Brings Success.

The bell in the old belfry on the MIS-
toric Georgetown University grounds
again pealed forth the joyous tidings Of
victory yesterday. when Dickinson Col
lege went down in defeat before nine
sturdy varsity sons. 1t was the last
game the Blue and Gray will play on
the local campus this season.
a large and enthusiastic crowd of
students and admirers of the west end
collegians turned out to witness the
game and cheer the home team on to
victory. Dickinson played a superb
game. but Georgetown's superior gen.
eralship evinced itself. as 1t has in all
other games they have played.
Although the local collegians romped
off with the honor of the game. 1t was
a hard-fought battle, and tough one
for the Dickinson lads to lose after
working as hard as they did to score
victory against the blue and gray. The
game was probably the prettiest wit
messed In these parts for some time.
The visitors played a better game in
the field than Georgetown. but at the
bat they were weak. Their weakness
was shown on several occasions when
men were on the bases and safe hit
would have won the game. As 1t was,
Georgetown was compelled to send in
three of the members of her pitching
staff to secure victory.
