Bucknell College defeated Georgetown's
foot ball team on Georgetown Field yester-
day afternoon by IS to O. 1t was good
game and clean one. There was but one
case Of sulgging. and Georgetown was Pc
nalized but once for off-side play. But the
home team was outweighed and outplayed.
With lighter team it put up a game fight;
but Bucknell had the best of 1t throughout
and thoroughly retrieved its defeat at the
hands of Georgetown a year ago. Weights
of the two teams were not officially given,
but Georgetown was between 155 and 100.
The visitors averaged 1888 to 40, and had
rather the faster backs. Kicking was not
particularly brilliant on either side. Tai

Of his kicks for safety scored but scant
gains. butcher for the home team was
decidedly better, and though there was no
wind to help either side, he made much
more out of his punts than his opponent.
Georgetown's Strength Wasted.
Several times the Blue and Gray held the
visitors for downs, and in the first half they
found a weak spot between left guard and
tackle that they pounded for gains. But
Georgetown's attempts at center were In
variably repulsed and most of their gains
were around the left end. Bocock and Lux
were the star men for Georgetown's gains,
but the Blue and Gray wasted too much
energy in trying to pound an impregnable
line.

town line Frank, Lenhardt and Olendorf
proved very fast, and, protected by good
interference, they scored long gains around
both of Georgetown's ends. Lenhardt,
Shade and Talbot for the visitors made
some remarkable hurdle plays, and carried
the ball down the field by eight and ten
yard rushes just before the second touch
down was scored ON a long ana spectacular
run by Olendorf.

the visitors to Georgetown's ten-yard line,
but Bocock carried it back fifteen yards
before he was downed. Bucknell got the

a scrimmage, but one of the visitors cap

to her ten-yard line, where she got the Dali
on downs and advanced It, but lost 1t al
most soon

her goal and kicked out, but the ball
hurtled diagonally across the field and was
stopped on the Vineyard Line. Frank
caught the ball, but was downed almost
IN his tracks. However. weight told and
the visitors were too near q touchdown

was fast and vicious. Lenhardt hurdled
the line for four yards. Then Shade and
Talbot again were hurled against the line
for gains of from four to- eight yards. The
ball was forced out OF bounds and George
