Georgetown Rolls Up 66 Points in 81 Minutes of
PLay-SouthernerS OutcLassed-FaH
to Make First Down.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Georgetown's football team rolled up
sixty-six points against William and
Mary's plucky little eleven on the Hill
top field yesterday afternoon, and the
dopesters are wondering how the wearers
Cf the Blue and Gray compare at this
stage, with Virginia, as the last named
college defeated William and Mary one
| week ago, 81 to 0.
Yesterdays mix-up could not be call
ed a game. 1t was a procession. George
towns backs gained at will through the
visitors line and around their ends. Dur
ing the thirty-two minutes Of actual play
Georgetown scored twelve touchdowns.
six goals were kicked.
William and Mary failed to make
single first down against the George
| town varsity combination. which played
together intact during the first period.
After that when Coach Gargan sent in
second string men the visitors were able
to hold the Hilltoppers three times for
downs. but could not once make the re-
quired distance against the Georgetown
subs.
The William and Mary forwards were
easily outweighed fifteen or twenty
pounds to the man, and the same was
true of the backs. Fury. White, and
Magner simply could not be stopped in
the opening period. Later. when substi
tutes were put in, with Harry Costello
at quarter. the combinations did not run
quite as smoothly as the finst set, but
there was plenty OF smash in each at
tack, and the necessary distance was
always gained.
HilltoPpers show improvement.
For the first time this season George
town presented a real interference on
end runs. There was also a noticeable
Improvement in blocking and tackling.
While the point total yesterday was
not as large as was VirgInia's, one week
ago, there is little. doubt that had
the regulars been permitted to remain
in the game during its entirety Just as
big total could have been accumulated
Coach Nelson took a flying trip up
to Carlisle to get a line on the Indians,
and Assistant Coach Gargan was in
charge. Georgetown used thirty-three
men during the game. Every member of
the squad out in uniform was showed
into the fray.
Despite the rain, which made footing
treacherous and the ball hard to handle,
very few fumbles occurred. The Hill
toppers only tried one forward pass,
which worked for a 12-yard gain. They
were content to hammer the Southerners'
line and ENDS by old-fashioned tactics.
Several split plays and delayed passes
broke the monotony Of Georgetown's at
tack. and the game from a spectators
standpoint was uninteresting on account
of the visitors weak front

who played three years on the University
Of Pennsylvania eleven, graduating last
June. Said Mr.. Young:
I'VE only have a school of $50 at Will
lam and Mary, and the largest squad we
could muster was thirty. The candidates
all lacked weight and experience. and
with this handicap It was impossible for
me to get together team able to COM
pete on even terms with Georgetown
and Virginia. Our big game is with Rich
mond College. and the boys are getting
some valuable experience"
Costello in Glass; by Himself.
From the individual playing of Harry
Costello In yesterdays game. no other
quarter back candidate on the Iiin has
a chance. Costello twice ran through the
entire visiting team and looks 25 per
cent better than at any time last sea-
son. He viii be the field general.
