RALEIGH, N. c., October SIN a YER
liable sea OF water-soaked sand and
through the wetness of a dampening
drizzle the two husky gridiron elevens
representing A and NJ. College and
Georgetown University battled furiously
for forty minutes here this afternoon
without either side scoring
For the first three periods the visitors
had all the advantage. the locals in that
time not being able to get a single first
down, but in the last quarter A. and Nj.
came back strong and succeeded. in get
ting the ball within the Blue and Gray
2-yard line, where it was when final time
was called.
However, Georgetown was equally close
to touchdown in the first period, when
it lost the pigskin with but yards to go
to cross the goal line, and once later in
the game it attempted a place kick from
the 20-yard line. In the last instance the
slipperiness of the ball caused it to be
fumbed.
The game opened with Georgetown re-
ceiving. A. and NJ. sent the ball nearly
to the goal line and the visitors ran il
back 70 yards. Then, by means of ex-
cellent punting on the part of Wymard
duQ d couple OIL 6lQ runs, IQe NlSllOrS
vaded the territory OF the locals until
they were finally within striking dis
lance.
In the second and third periods the
visitors were also aggressors and even
kept the Farmers on the defensive until
the middle of the last period, when a
tumble put A. and M. In possession of
the oval but % yards from the goal
posts. Substituting Capt. Hartsell In
place Of Won Ebenstein. the wearers OF
fha cd nd al form f0r N
victory, only to meet with a stubborn re-
pulse, with the result that, despite their
furious attack, they were unable to cover
the desired distance before time was up.
Rough Work Evident.
The last period Of the game was marred
by rough work on both sides, Georgetown
receiving a severe penalty of halr~ the
distance to the goal when Sitterding was
disqualified by the field Judge upon
disputed decision on unnecessary rough
ness. If there had been a minute more
to play this penalty might have cost the
HilltopperS the game.
While Georgetown consistently made
first downs during the first three-quarters
of the game through the agencies of
Fury and Dunn circling the ends and
Walsh piercing the line, A. and NJ. found
the defense of the Blue and Gray i'm
pregnable in every respect. Hegarty
time and again tackled the locals backs
before they got started, while George
towns line refused to be broken. Frtz-
gerald has one blocked punt to his credit
which was recovered by Hegarty.
Probably the prettiest performance. of
the afternoon was Fury's recovering of an
A. and M. forward pass. The doughty
Georgetown back made a beautiful leap
for the flying ball between two husky
opponents, catching it just as an A. and
NJ player was about to receive it.
Outside OF Hartsell, who was in the
game for but a couple of minutes, Won
Ebenstein was the only local who could
make any Roadway against the George
town defense. 1t was he who gave the
the close Of the encounter his speed
having netted his team a good many
yards by means of split play which
struck the left wing of the Georgetown
line.
