followers of the blue and gray, on the other
hand, went through the visitors line and
around the ends for gains, and several long
runs were made by the speedy men COM
posing the local eleven.

tunity to show their mettle In a game.

fine form and carried the ball nearly all the
time in the first half. All the players of

were Seitz, McGettigan. Mahoney and
Rourke. Thompson, Carver and Stevenson,
all new men, who clearly demonstrated
that they knew the game, and that they
will be valuable additions to the George
town team in the coming struggles the
