GEORGETOWN ROUTED
BY NORTH CAROLINA
Fifty-Yard Run by Bobby
Winston Gains Victory
for TarheeIS.

The name of Winston will be hung in
versty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
" c.. as the sturdy lad of that family
yesterday afternoon won his laurels when
in the first half of the game against
Georgetown University he grabbed punt
and ran for fifty yards and a touchdown
the only score of the game, the contest
ending with the Southerners having five
points to nothing for the Blue and Gray.
Winston not only ran fifty yards with
the pigskin, but he showed off nine of
the entire eleven Georgetown players who
made strenuous efforts to tackle him. The
touchdown came as a thunderbolt out of
the skies and seemed to paralyze the
local team and its followers. Georgetown
had the ball near the center of the field
when Byrd tried a quarterback run.
Winston was right on the job. and after
breaking through the interference threw
the local runner for loss. Georgetown
lined up and Daunton went back for a
kick. For the only time during the game,
he failed to get the ball off well. 1t
only went about twenty yards and
Winston leaped into the air and caught
it. He buried his neck down into mis-
shoulders and set sail toward the goal
line. Two of the Georgetown players
started after him. and one got hold OF
his shoulder, but the North Carolina boy
was not to be downed. He threw them
aside, as if they were merely children.
While still running for the coveted goal
other Georgetown players made efforts to
get the fleeing runner. but he also got by
them. Byrd was the last local player
between the southern and the goal.
He made flying dive, but Winston
leaped aside and sped for the goal and
touchdown. Croswell kicked the ball
about ten feet outside of the goal posts

Visitors Had the Weight.
In comparing the two teams, the visitors
had 1t on the locals in the weight of the
line men, but this fact was not of ma
terial significance. The line of the south
ern team was for the most part strongly
constructed, although on several oc-
CaSionS the Blue and Gray boys managed
to get through for gains. When they
got within a dangerous zone, the visitors,
however, braced up and there were no
more gains for the locals.
On the back field the visitors again had
the best of the argument, while at the
quarterback position it was a toss-up be-
tween Byrd and Ruffin. Belk, who sup
planted Ruffin at the beginning of the
second half. was better than his team
mate and ran his team in good form.
Wymard. who did the kicking for the
Georgetown team, averaged about fifty
yards throughout the game, while Cros-
we'll also did good work in the kicking
game. but did not even up the gains Of
the local men.
Larger Crowd Expected.
The game was played before compare
lively small crowd, considering the i'm
portance of the struggle to the two uni
versities. Upon the meeting of the two
teams on Georgetown Field last fall the
struggle ended with matters even. the
final score being ) to 5. The followers
of the Blue and Gray were in the west
stand, but they were not there with the
spirit which was displayed in former
years by the local followers In fact
there was but little cheering by the Blue
and Gray boys. North Carolina was well
represented in the east stand. and every
play by the team was applauded.
1t was the opinion of many of the spec
tators that Georgetown had scored a
touchdown as the first half closed but
Georgetown had fumbled a punt near
their goal line and North Carolina got
the ball. Just after the two teams had
lined up for the first scrmmage the time
keeper walked on the field. and Referee
Given seeing him blew his whistle At
that time the ball was put into play by
Georgetown and Carrigan started for an
end run, but was thrown. Relieving that
the play was legal, he was assisted to his
feet by teammates. and with Byrd as an
interference. ran to the goal The play
was disputed, but Referee Given held to
his decision. which was substantiated by
the umpire.
Aside from Winston. Croswell and Por-
ter did some fine work for the visitors in
carrying the ball. The two ends, Winston
and Williams, were in the game at all
times, and on but very few occasions
could Georgetown do anything around the
ends. When the local team tried line
plays they invariably ran up against a
stone wall, as Thompson and Spainhour
on the left side. and Mclean and Hefge-
path held their positions firm Deans

game at center, but he was injured sew
eral times and weakened He was later
relieved by Brown.
Carrigan the Star.
Georgetown's line held the visitors on
their several line plunges in the early
part of the first half. but after time

were found and good gains were made
Carrisan proved the star ground gamer
for his team DALEY played a strong
game at left guard. while Stterding, who
relieved Carter at right end, made several
good tackles. Wymard made several good
tackle runs Waldron did fair work in
CARRYING the ball. but he was away off in
handling punts, and on several occasions
MS fumbling proved costly for his team
