FOR GEORGETOWN

Holiday Battle on Hilltop - Costello, Fury, and
Hart Play Brilliantly.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Harry Costello and Jimmy Fury, twin
stars in an eleven Of scintillating bril-
liants, made Thanksgiving dressing OF
the heavy, sluggish Lehigh team on the
Hilltop yesterday, and the Blue and
Gray, displaying better form than at
any time this season. won q 2S-to-3 VIC
tory as II It were but a practice match.
These two midget halfbacks were up
and around and through the Brown and
White players like frogs out on lark,
skipping across the muddy, slippery
gridiron for long gains on the wings,
diving sharply inside of tackle for short
but steady advances, and seldom failing
to show the best football OF the year.

The Blue and Gray were primed for

Every man on the Georgetown eleven

choose to find the heroes Of the con-
test. Perhaps Fred Nielsen was the
real hero, standing there on the side

vanfans. And Nielsen actually smiled,
breaking a record for the Hilltop.
Hart Is Star.
In the line Wayne Hart, as usual,
was the bright particular star. This
big fellow was the life Of the attack

ing his way along at the head OF the
interference, hurting the Lehigh players

ready to leap high into the air for the
