beaten by North Carolina on George
town Field by u to N halves Of 50
ard . minutes.
sThe North Carolina game is an an
nual fixture on the Georgetown sched-
ule, and every nerve Is strained to win
IL, but this year Georgetown has been
so unfortunate in many ways and the
eleven has been so slow IN rounding TO
form that even its most ardent sup
pCTJeTs felt in their hearts that il was
Que for a sound trOuuCing by the Tar
heels. 1t was only a question OF how
big the score would be. The score
was not only kept down. but George
town forced Carolina TO display its ut
most strength and for the greater part
Of the game the ball Was IN Tarheel
territory.
Georgetown Lacks Team Work.

let those figures mislead YOU in esu-
mating the strength of GEORGETOWN and
Virginia. The Washington team has the
innate ability TO make much better
showing than 1T did yesterday, as Nlr-
ginia may ind TO her cost.
What Georgetown accomplished yes
terday was due almost entirely 10 sheer
nerve and individual play. Its Interior
ence was distinctly poor, both around
the ends and through the field. Men
were seen so often running by them

recipient OF the ball legged IL as hard
as he could, lodged as nlmDly as his
physical conformation would permit,
took a flying dive through the enemy,
and left the rest TO fate. That this hap
hazard policy should have proved so
successful wiz remain a SOFT Of curl
osity in gridlron history.
Not Fast on Punts.
on punts Georgetown was handicapped
by the fact that Thompson frequently
kicked low and hard. so that the Caro-
lima backs many times got the ball and
were on and away long before the
Georgetown ends reached the scene OF
the catch. This running back Of kicks
cost Georgetown heavily and was one OF
the main faults OF the team.
In the early part of the game. espe-
cially, North Carolina was able TO form
interference almost al viii. Davis, the
left end, was frequently given tie ball
for run around GeOrgttOWn'5 left end.
There was sort of sliding. unfolding
alignment accompanying this play that
put a solid string Of Taraeels between
the runner and WOuld-be tacklers that
greatly puzzled the home folk until they
got a line on the play. when they began

Carolina had the heavier team and
pTOfJed much thereby. Both its touch
downs were due TO setting the ball
within striking distance Or the George
town goal in the ordinary course OF
business. and then slowly but surely

and well supported attack after an

IeTs. EaCn team tried il many times,
and generally with highly gratifying re-
suits To the other siCe. The passing
was all right but the receiving was as
uncertain as a reporters job. The ball
had naDlt of landing sQUarely in the
hands OF an opposing player, who, IN
turn. would be hit by half dozen
tackiers at once and wish he had not
been so SpTy. Thus the great football
innovation as a rule Melted the team
using 1t just the distance it was thrown.
Tarheels Follow Ball.
Still there were several occasions
when the new style pass delivered the
goods as per schedule. Carolina used
both double aid triple pass, with a
forward pass or OnSiGe kick but il can
not be said this intricate play proved of
great value or would be worth trying
in q really close game between teams
well drilled in football habits. Carolina
had il on Georgetown in the acquired
habit Of following the pigskin closely
every minute. whenever the BAH was
lost in a miZ-up a Tarheel either got

Stewart and Sam Simon did some
splendid Open-deld running with poor
support and Thompson played re-
-nlaTkable game for a man with bad
hand that was wrapped 50 tightly ne

sprint hero was butcher. VINO made
CleorgetOwn's one touchdown. Toward
the end of the first half he took an on
side kick from lCNulLy that had been
INJURED by Miller and ran twenty yards
for all the points made by his team.

sad affair, which bounded along the

First Half.
Georgetown kicked off in the first half.
Carolina made an onside kick which
Georgetown got but Carolina recovered
the bail Ola downs Thompson kicked to
Cardinals 40-yard line and Mann ran it
hack fifteen yards. Crossweu punted
and Stewart ran il back. Georgetown
was penaliZed fifteen yards and with
the bail on its own 25-yard line gained
ave yards by a forward pass. An on
side kick gave Carolina the ball on
Cieorcetown's 40-yard line. Dunlap took
eight yards around left end, Stewart
saving the day by a good tackle.
Davis tore or twenty-five wards around
