Lack of condition, failure to get to-

tire mystification before the swirling,
.smothering Carlisle trick plays on at
tack, spelled defeat for Georgetown.

fore him from now on to whip his ag-
gregation into a machine capable of
making even a respectable showing
against the West Point eleven. Car

shows very we'll the relative strength
. Of the two elevens.
During the first period the Blue and
Gray players fought a nearly even
fight stopping the Indians for downs
on Georgetown's 10-yard line and boot
ing the ball far down the field. Then
the Carlisle scoring machine got busy,
and Thorpe, NewaShe Wheelock, and
Powell took turns swinging outside and
inside Of tackle until the ball went over
for the first touchdown of the game. II
could be seen right there that George
town was not a fit opponent for the
visiting team.
As the game went on the Indians ap-
peared to grow stronger. In reality
Georgetown grew weaker, though never
ceasing to put up gallant battle. In
dividually, Georgetown was in the game
all the time, but as a football machine
1t failed to materialize. On offense in
reference was seldom made for the
Blue and Gray runner. Usually he
loomed up alone, striving In vain to
line backs.
.. Defense Lamentably Weak.
It was on defense that Georgetown
seemed lamentably weak. Barriscello
and Hegarty failed wholly to diagnose
the peculiar swinging. corkscrew attack
on their positions, and Powell, Arcasa,
and Thorpe, with now and then New
ashe and Burd. had no difficulty in
carrying the ball around both ends for
long gains. eBrgen, succeeding Barris-
cello late In the game, had better luck
stopping the Indian attack. several

every play while in the game, frequent

wings. Cunniff's passing was smooth
generally and his defensive game
worthy Of commendation.
Better Physically.
Carlisle was in better physical eondi-
ton, knew more football and displayed
more football sense than the Blue and
Gray eleven. The Indians took the
game as sort of practice match. laugh.

ball down the field. Powells ability to

The Blue and Gray secondary defense
was as paper, Costello being compelled
time and time again to make admirable
open-feld' tackles to prevent score.
Game a Procession.
The game was a procession for Car
hsle. One touchdown only marked their
conquering way in the first period, the
Blue and Gray displaying virile strength
on attack and defense. Two more touch
downs marked the second period and
Georgetown made it's only score of the
day, Greer blocking a kick on Carlisle's
for touchdown. Two more touch

attack and Bergen piling up a number
