If the players that showed here

there have been worst varsity ma :

Bryant and Campazzi.
That boy Campazzi is one of the
greatest backs who has ever sppear-

thing"
Bryant, the 2f5-pound fuliback OF
the Georgetown team. always made
his distance. He simply ducked his
head, folded the bali to his stom-
ach and trotted through the Rich
mond line The only one who ever
stopped him was little Lutz He
wrapped himself around Bryant s

Furey showed his old time speed.

simply outclassed. They afforded
Georgetown great practice in the way

and Gray players. Georgetown almost
ran out of breath scoring to1chdowns.
To be sure the first period was long

on the local boys to go up against

about tacklng they would have done
much better, 1t is not considered good

or jump into his hair ride on his back or
cling to one of his arms. All these
fancy styles in tacklng We're shown
by the Richmond boys When they
learn that the way TO bring man

will stop more plays than they did
