GEORGETOWN SCALPED
GEORGE WASHINGTON

A field goal and two sensational runs for
touchdown tell the tale of the annual con-
test between the Georgetown and George
Washington teams. which took place yes
terday afternoon on Georgetown Field, in
which the former ran up sixteen points to
the latters six. and thus the Blue and
Gray added another George Washington
scalp to their belts.
The downtowners were defeated by being
outplayed during the entire first half and
almost throughout the second. They were
also too over-confident of carrying off vic
tory.
The Buff and Blue boys could not stop
the line plunges of the west enders, they
made long gains through the line and were
rarely ever held for downs. Both of the
winners touchdowns were made after long
runs by Kerr. who skirted left end twice
the first time for siXty-f1ve yards and the
second Tor seventy-three yards. butcher
did the best work on line plunging. Time
and time again he was called for a run
through tackle. and he never failed to gain,
going through for from five to ten yards.
Kerr's playing was easily the feature of the
game, as he brought the followers of the
Blue and Gray to their feet on nearly
every punt. which he caught and ran back
for big gains. His tacFling was also very
noticeable. Boccck also did good work in
running back the punts O'Boyle made
several good gains on end runs. butcher
was injured in the early second half, but
refused to leave the game, until he was too
exhausted to stand the gruelng any longer
and then Kane was sent in.
For the George Washington team, Lica-
rione and Beard made good gains through
the line from the back field. while Som
mers on tackle runs. pulled off some good
gains.
Both teams used the forward pass, but
it was worked successfully only once, this
was when Georgetown got twenty yards
by it. The on-side kick. for George Wash
