Clin Woods, the trusty guard, to form
a mass meeting SrouDd and on him.
Show Fighting Spirit.
Georgetown's celebrated fighting spirit
was much in evidence. but at that the
team as a whole did not play nearly
as well as in the first half agains. Vir-
GINA What the trouble was could
not be understood. The men indiYidu-
ally were working their tongues out, and
they showed much better football form
than at any time this season, but they
failed TO produce results.
Thompson did his best punting Of the
season. His kicks were higher and bet
ter placed, a fact which, with the su-
perlority Of his ends, caused George
town TO gain or every exchange Of kicks
ana kept the ball almost constantly in
q. W u territory.
George Washington had not been pop
ularly credited with much gameness,
but in the second half, when George
town got the ball on its 3-yard line the
q. w. u. players gave as pretty an eX-
htDiuon OF nervy, clean-cut holding EN-
back as was cyet seen on a gridirOn.
g. gained the admiration or many
whose sympathies were with George
town IL was an exhibition which raised
G. w. L. immensely IN The public estl-
nation and will exert an inspiring in
iluencs over It's athletics FOR many days

Simon Makes Good.
one Jf the prettiest features was the
great running catches Of IUnta by Sam
Simon when ne took 1nOmPsons place
in the second half. He would take the
ball while he was I'm the ayr and come
down on his toes. Devine. butcher, and
McNulty played desperately all the
time.
Stewart. Jhe GEORGETOWN quarter. and
Holmes, Tic O.. w. L. right guard were
smuggling. Considering the unusually bit
ter feeling between the teams there
was comparatively little rough work,
ana both sides are 10 be congratulated
Upon playing az clearly as possible un-
der the circumstances.
Whitehead, the George Washington
left tackle, played splendid game He
was on the Job all the time showed
no knew his business, and always went
for the man with the ball In the sec
ond half when Holmes smuggling had
given Georgetown half the distance from
The George Washington UniveTsiJys To-
yard line, Whitehead made a tackle Of
the Georgetown runner while he him
self was lying on the ground with
two men on him, that saved the day, for
he was the only obstruction to an other
wise clear held
Both sides attempted fakes and for
ward passes with no success, except on
one occasion when George Washington
gained twenty yards by employing the
forward pass II WAS the neaUest play
OF the day. and the only gain Of that
distance made by either team by taking
advantage of the new rules.
Today we have the announcement that
Georgetown has broken off athletic re-
Z lauons with George Washington. This
Is no more than was expected George
town could not well let the emporium
! ity for doing the wrong thing 60 by, so
she naturally severed relations with a
rival with whom she began feud BY
an unjust demand for an extra share
OF the gate receipts, and then failed 20
whip when they met on the field To
save your face. as the Chinese say, IL Is
always well TO wait until you whip your
eT envy before spurning him, but the
Georgetown athletic authorities do not
seem TO care for a little matter about
the standing Of their institution. which
may hatter the vanity OF undergrad
yates. but is not likely to make a hit
with the alumni.
