several times toward the Baltimore eieN-

was made by Georgetown, which result

Baltimore eleven on Georgetown's 45-yard

gains the team was making at the time,
and on account OF the wet and slippery
condition of the ball, there seemed little
chance for its success especially at the
angle at which the pass was made
