SenCe of WrangIing.

Georgetown furnished revelation to
its friends yesterday when IL defeated
Washington and Lee f-- ~ TO @.
In the very points in which the team
has been weakest &c showed up strong
est If 1t can DO as well against a heavy
combination as &c did yesterday against
q light one. the Blue and Gray may con
hdenuy be expected 10 live up 10 its
reputation OF the past. and furnish
Washington with a championship team.
No Childish Wrangling.
There was absolutely none of the
childish wrangIing among the players
and Interference with Quarterback Nc
Gettigan that married the games against
NulanOVa and the Fort AIyer soldiers.
He was allowed 10 run The game as he
saw fit, and must be given credit for do

was IN every play himself and showed
excellent Judgment. ECt only In direct
ing the straight plays. but in sandwich
ING in those trick and combination plays
that must be used iu real game
against determined and unknowlng adj
versaries before their real worth can
be determined.
Contrary TO expectation In view of
past performances. the Georgetown line
not only held its own against lighter
opponents. but brushed them aside as
II they were a party OF children. and
went down the field at a pace which
made IT impossible 10 form any real idea
of the merits of the men since they have
taken new lease on life.

Tackle Played Wei.
The Georgetown backs and tackles
worked with a speed ana precision by
no means 10 be expected from their pre-
vi0us work. There was life dash. and
uuanimity in the team. and If IL can
keep the pace its friends should have no

great that Coach Reilly should Dee called
