Fordham Field by So TO O.
The home eleven clearly outplayed the
visitors, who put up a snappy game in
the face of sure defeat A total Of thirty
one points was made in the first half of
twenty-five minutes, due to quick and
aggressive playing by Fordham.
GeOrgetOwn's opening play predicted a
stubbOrnly fought battle holding Ford
ham for the first two plays and forcing
Gagan to punt. The failure of forward
passes and on-side kicks kept the ball
moving from one part of the field 10 the
other, though the defense was formidable
and fully up 70 the mark Georgetown be-
ing unable TO make any headway against
the line, her several efforts practically
counting for naught The unsatisfactory
attempts at line bucking forced the Capt.
