All memories OF that singing defeat

Georgetown turned the tables on vir-
ginia by l to 0. In one OF the best
games over seen on the West End field
Going at a clip seldom seen in college
baseball the local tossers showed the
way straight through. although the one
run, secured IN the fourth inning, was
a gtft from one Mr.. Dabney, formerly
Of Episcopal High School and now first
Sacksr for the Virginia outfit. Simon,
first up in the fourth, singled to right
and took second on Dabney's error in
attempting to catch him off the bag.
Mayock's neat sacrifice put Simon on
third and ne scored a moment later On
McDonald's tap to short which was han
