HILLTOP SQUAD DOES
NOT SHOW ITS BEST
Game Was Sluggish, But
Clean Cut and Interesting.
Punting Counts.

Although the Blue and Gray gridiror
artists did not display the high class of
foot ball they have shown before this
season in their annual battle with North
Carolina they had little difficulty trim
ming the Tarheels on Georgetown Field
yesterday afternoon. The final score II
20 q. by no means gives the full story of
the encounter. for at no point of the
contest was the locals goal line in DAN
ger. while on the other hand the victors
went through the whole forty-eight min
|Utes of play without showing up anything
III the way of new plays.
The HilItoppers, as we'll as the visitors,
played sluggish foot ball. The day was
certainly an ideal one for a speedy and
fiery exhibition OF the fan sport, and
there were plenty of spectators on both
sides of the field, to cause the players to
give forth their fullest efforts But despite
these material incentives to star work
very little real stellar Iigskin manipuia-
ton was enacted while a number of pen
alties and wrangles concurred to further
mar what has always been In the past
real classic battle.
Georgetown'S victory was due to
steadier work and more clever running
with the ball. The Blue and Gray de-
and again line plunges and Off-tackIe
PUSHES Melted them substantial gains.
The punting of Walsh and Wymard was
also d great factor in the outcome of the
game, the two local kickers far out
classed the man who did the bOotlnS foF
the losers.
As Walsh also made two excellent drop
kicks, thus tallying SIX of the twelve
points credited TO the Hiltoppers, he
probably is TO be placed at the top of the
list when II comes to picking out those
who acquitted themselves with glory
4Tney were both beautiful goals, we'll di-
1ected and with plenty of force, that
they would have carried much farther if
tEeIe had been a necessity. They were
The first real kicks from the field to be
executed by Blue and Gray team since
the time Bocock defeated the North Car
DINA team OF 1906 at Norfolk with
place kick and later in the same year
Lodgson started the downfall of George
w asningtCn with the same kind of per-
Torrance.
Many Local Stars.
Cunniff outclassed in every way his op-
ponent at center. and Fitzgerald certainly
proved the superior of Capt. Thompson of
the lads from the south at one of the
guards. Fury worked hard in the first
half, but was taken out in the middle of
the game on account of his physical con-
dition, which has been off color for some
time. All of the other backfield men did
their usual good ground gaining, the game
again showing that Georgetown has more
than one set of backs capable of pene-
trating a stubborn defense
FOR the losers Winston and Porter did
the best work They were both agrees
sive at all times, and, while the first
mentioned did his most beneficial work
OH the defensive and in running down
under punts, the other lad with the blond
locks tore off good gains at times when
they made much difference in the destiny
of his team. The many subsIitutions
made during the progress of the game
by Coach Brides PROBABLY were not as
strengthening as they We're intended to
be. as they tended to disrupt the smooth
running of what should have been d
formidable foot ball machine.
. The battle a whole was one of the
ClsaDest ever played on any field, and
after it was over satisfaction was ex-
pressed on both sides The Georgetown
rooters last evening seemed confident that
the team they so Loyalty support will be
able TO defeat Virginia in the next big
battle on the schedule. Because of the
absence of anything like new foot ball
on the part OF the Hilitoppers the gen.
eral opinion Is that they held back every
thing possible for use against the Orange
and Blue.
The Game in Detail.

ball went outside. but on the next at
tempt Ruffin caught the leather and after
q slight gain was down. Being unable
to make much Roadway North Carolina
punted to Walsh, who made but little
Roadway. Dunn was the first Blue and
Gray Jerseyed athlete to come into the
limelight. When called upon. by Walsh
he quickly responded by advancing the
pigskin about IL yards.
After this gain North Carolina showed
for while a stonewall defense. George
town made hard but futile ATTEMPTS to
get through and the ball went over Belk
soon after was forced to punt. Both Fury
and Walsh made endeavors to advance
but the visitors We're in on each play
xand Walsh was forced TO punt. 1t was
"a beautiful Kick; being both high and
strong, and the Blue and Gray warriors
followed it UP with great speed, downing
.Ruffin, who caught it, in his tracks
Porter's good work started at this stage
of the game, when he plunged through
the right side of the locals line for q
yards. Georgetown's line refused to give
way the second time ard the Caro-
Iinians We're checked. Two penalties
We're chalked up against the winners at
this stage but We're Offset by a spectacu-
lar play INDUCED in by Capt Daley. who
broke through and nailed Winston far in
the rear of the place where the ball was
put in play.
The distance to go was much too great
TO attempt, and North Carolina punted
After Dunn had been checked in his en-
deavor TO skirt the end he succeeded in
pushing the oval ahead for yards Belk
fumbied WalshS long punt but before
the Georgetown ends reached him he re-
covered it, .
Walsh Misses a Goal.
Soon after Walshs first attempt at a
place kick was made. The try was from
the 33-yard line, but did not succeed, as
the ball was carried to the left by the
breeze. North Carolina flmbled and il
was the winners recovered the oval on
the 23-yard mark.
Walsh was mainly responsible for the
touchdown that followed. On a fake play
he brought the ball inside the losers 10
yard mark Dunn was the next to carry
IT, and he placed ii about six inches from
the line. Vlymen on the next play hit
1.-THE line like shot. and il is doubtful if
anything could have held this terrific
