the Georgetown eleven who deserve as
much credit for the victory as do the
two tackies-Hart and Wyn2ard and

sterling efforts which every man who
wore a Blue and Gray jersey put forth.
Georgetown was a machine which worked
almost perfectly with a few exceptions
and those few We're forgotten in the
light of the many achievements. But OF
the integral parts of that machine the
two mentioned men stand forth. 1t was
mentioned before the contest that upon
the play of the two men who held down
the tackle positions would depend the re-

Tackles Hard to Stop.
On the defensive there was nothing to
stop Hart or Wymard. The two big fell
