CAPTAIN HART THE STAR
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, 80;
COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY, o

The foo tball championship OF the Dis
trict of Columbia was decided yester-
day afternoon on Georgetown Field,
and the Blue and Gray carried its col
ors to victory, much 70 the disappoint-
rnent Of the Orange and Blue. The de-
feat was not humiliating; the victory
signifies the survival of the fittest, and
the laurels were fairly won. II was the
first meeting IN Eve years between the
football teams of these two rival local
Institutions. and although Georgetown
whitewasbed Columbian to the tune OF
50 10 0. there is every reason to believe
that next year matters viii be more
even.
Display of Enthusiasm.
Columbian rooters were out in force.
and the defeat Of its warriors cannot be
attributed 20 a lack of enthusiasm. Be
tween the halves 800 Columbian sympa-
thizers marched around the gridiron 10
where the Georgetown students were
gathered. and an exchange OF college
yells and ribaid songs was effected that
beat anything heretofore seen on a local
field
Four tOuchdOwns were scored in the
first half and the average time for each
was abour seven minutes. 50 it may be
seen how Georgetown tore steadily
through the Columbian line. Colum bian
could not hold it's line against the bat
tering Of the sturdy lads from the other
side of Rock Greek. and many times
when Columbian tried TO pile on the
Georgetown men they were dragged FOR
good distances by the superior strength
Of their opponents. Carroll and Captain
Hart stood the brunt OF the work in the
first half They figured in most OF the
rushes, but all OF Georgetown's men
played clever football. The second half
was the more spectacular OF the two.
for il was then that Captain Hart made
three long runs with the bail and lodged
all the Columbian tacklers except Kirk
man. who waited for Hart 10 come his
$ way and twice he tackled Hubbard and
slammed him 10 the ground amid the
cheering OF the rooters on the east tier
OF seats.
Columbian's Weakness.
Columbian showed weakness in not
diversifying her style of playing. Be
Ing accustomed 70 meeting many teams
not so strong as Georgetown. she could
win by. pounding the line. for there are
several stocky chaps on the Orange and
Blue team She did not have the force
TO make gains in the line, and when one
OF two 81 4 plays were tried by Kirk
man. the Interference on his side was
faulty. C-ace Kirkman stood a splendid
show 10 make long gain and may be

ference, Bielaski got in the tracks OF
Kirkman and tripped him. Kirkman.
STEVENSON. and Stevenson did some
very clever taekling that elected rounds
Of applause from All sides The George
town boys gained many yards on their
plunges. because Columbian tackled
high. enabling she Blue and Gray team
10 carry She entire line along a yard
or two.
IN tht first half there was consider
able fumbling, but 1t did not result
seriously for either side Georgetown S
goal YVES never in danger. but Colum-
bian fought a snaDpy and game battle.
even though the boys We're outclassed
in all points The game was entirely
free of rough work, and though beaten
early in the contest, Columbian did not
quit playing her hardest until the time
limit had expired. With such spirit
as was shown in this exhibition by the
students of the schools. s. should in
spire both colleges 10 greater rivalry in
the future
