cultural College. AS expected, the
Marylanders proved easy for the locals.
That the wearers of the Blue and Gray

making sensational end runs at any
time they chose, the Blue and Gray lads
were finally called off.

score 27 points. while the visitors had
nothing to show for their work.
The weight, generalship and all-round

locals favor. They averaged twenty
pounds more weight, and they threw
this tremendous weight against the lads
from Maryland.
The visitors not only failed to score.
but at no time did they have the ball in

ing against Georgetown. The visitors
despite 1t all played plucky game.
The sun was beaming down on the
players. and they perspired freely. Ow-
Ing to the warm weather and the soggi-
ness of the field two very short halls
were played. The first lasted for If
teen minutes, and the second was cut TO
ten minutes. During these short halls
Coach Suter, of the Georgetown eleven,
played almost every one Of his candi-
dates, and gave them taste OF real
football. Referee NJ. J. Thompson. who
handled the whistle. kept the players
moving. 1t was an exceptionally fast
game.
Easy for Georgetown.
The wearers of the blue and gray
kicked off to their opponents. and quick

were held for downs, and as soon as
Georgetown got the ball there was moth
ing but smashes through center and end
runs, until Capt. Joe Reilley went
across the line for a touchdown. Pres
ton Edmonston tried to kick goal, but
failed.
The teams changed fields, and the Wis

Georgetowns territory. The local col

few feet of the goal mark, Captain
Reilley carried the oval across the line
for FIVE more points. Edmonston failed
to kick goal.
The Marylanders kicked off again
They endeavored to check the terrible
onslaught, but they were not equal to
the task. With about fifteen seconds 10
play Reilley's signal was given, and Us

ton again failed TO kick goal, and the
whistle blew for the end OF the half,
with Georgetown fifteen points.
Tom Buckley was knocked out before
the end of the first half, and his place
at quarterback was taken by P. Ed

line. Coach Suter took out several OF
the men who played in the first half.
and when the second was begun several
were put in to be tried.
The agriculturists kicked off to the
locals at the beginning of the second
half and Georgetown brought the ball
right down the field. scoring a touch
down before the expiration of five min

The local collegians plowed through
center for long gains, and Carver was
showed across the line for the fifth
touchdown of the evening Mahoney
kicked a goal. making the score 81 to O.
Two minutes remained for play after
this goal was kicked and Georgetown
had the ball dangerously near the goal
line when Mr.. Tompson's whistle an
nounced the end of the half and the
game.
On several occasions the local lads
were penalized for off-side plays. They
seemed too anxious to get the ball from
their opponents. and started before it
was snapped For their overanxious-
ness they lost five yards each time the
offense was committed, and the visitors
were given just that much more en-
couragement.
