able spot and hit it time and time again
for the necessary yards for first down.
This side of the line seemed unable to
get under plays and spill them.
Costello Tackles Hard.
Harry Costello, who was put in as
substitute quarter for Sitterding, when
the Hill Top crowd were directly in
front Of the braves goal, on the 30-yard
line, and had his attempt at a goal from
the field blocked by the failure of his
line to hold. letting Newashe through,
saved his team from at last three touch
downs by superb tackling.
The Indians used the double pass to
perfection, and time and time again
fooled their opponents by the quick exc
cution of this play. One of their touch
downs was due 20 a forward pass, or
rather a delayed and a forward pass
combined. The play gave all appearance
of going round left end, when the ball
was suddenly given to- Burd, who ran
80 yards through a broken field for a
touchdown.
Georgetown called into use all of their
knowledge of football and held the In
dams twice when they had the ball
within the Blue and Gray 5-yard line.
Newashe, though a consistent ground
gamer, could do nothing. The game was
particularly free from penalizations for
holding. the majority of those inflicted
being for overoagerness in starting, and,
consequently, being off-side when the
ball was put in play.
The Blue and Gray had a slight ad-
vantage over their opponents in punt
ing, Wymard. Magner, Fury, and Cos
tello overshadowing Thorpe, of Carlisle,
by a few yards. However. the Indians,
by their superb interference in running
back kicks. more than made up for this.
Georgetown's interference, while good,
lacked the machine-like work that char
actertzed the handling and following Of
the ball by their opponents.
One Touchdown for Georgetown.
The lone Blue and Gray touchdown
came by way of a blocked kick. The
HiIItoppers' backs could not plow
through the Indians line or around the
ends, while the Indians tore off long
gains at will.
Thorpe, the greatest left half back
of the Redskins, played one of the best
games ever witnessed on the Hilltop
while Newashe the chunky tackle, fool
ed the entire Georgetown team time and
again by taking the ball on a double pass
and going 10 and Is yards at a clip.
Powell, the dashing full back of the
braves, hit the HilItoppers' line for sub
stantial gains time and again, while lit
tie Arcasa passed the ball in great style.
Arcasa also ran punts back in fine style,
often lodging three and four tackles be-
fore being downed.
The feature play of the day cropped
up in the third quarter, when Thorpe
worked a fake forward pass, Capt Burd
taking the ball out of his hands and
going through the entire Georgetown
team for 3 yards and a touchdown.
Little Magner, the lightest of the
Georgetown backs, and Costello, the sub
stitute quarter, put up by far the best
game for the Hiiltoppers, with big Wayne
Hart not far behind. Magner played the
best defensive game of the backs, be-
ing in every play and always doing his
share, while Costello, by his tackling,
stopped at least two touchdowns.
The Georgetown team failed to tackle
the men low when a low tackle would
stop the play Time and again one of
the braves would break through the line
or go around the end, and three or four
of the Blue and Gray eleven would miss
him or grab him too high, the Redskin
only falling when sheer weight pulled
him down.
QuinIan Plays Good Game.
QuinIan, who replaced Fury in the
fourth quarter, put up a stellar game,
making the longest Georgetown run of
the game and doing much to break up
the Indians fast doble plays Quinlan
got Arcasa once behind the line before |
the quarter had started. Dave White is |
another Hilltopper who played a hard
game, Dave being the hardest man for |
the Redskins to get, and going through |
them for what few gains the Blue and
Gray team made.
