Emmitsburg, Nd, yesterday on the
Hilltop field to 81 to 0 victory.
-Four touchdowns were scored,
one in each of the nine-minute
periods. Harry Costello kicked
three goals, missing one easy
chance.
1t was impossible yesterday TO
get much OF a line on Georgetown
and the Hilltoppers chances of
turning out winner, for the rea-
son that during the first three
periods nothing but simple line
plays were tried.
Try openystyIe Play.
With five minutes left to play In the;
final quarter, Georgetown opened up
with forward passes. scoring a touch
down when Donnelly received the ball
from Foley. the first-named being be-
hind the goal posts as the pigskin land
ed into his arms.
Mount st. Mary's. coached by Mike
Thompson. the well-known referee, was
outweighed, and considering that they
tackled a team out of their class. put
up a sterling exhibition. There was
plenty OF fight and spirit. but the odds
against them were too much.
Georgetown's line needs practice In
starting quickly. and the interference Is
ragged The backfield compares favor
ably with any college Of its size in the
country, but the line can absorb a whole
lot of coaching II the Hilltoppers are to

During the flag end OF the game. Coach
Gargan sent in nine substitutes, and the
work Of Jim Dunn. Van Brocklin, and
Donnelly was a revelation to the stu
dent body. II is hard 10 see how Dunn
can very well be kept OF the varsity
this season. The big fellow ripped up
Mount sSt Mary's line for big gains
every time he was given the ball.
Visitors start on Well.
From the opening kickoff. when the
visitors received the ball. Mike Thomp-
sons boys tore on a couple of first
downs so quickly that nobody realized

swept their rivals down the field at a
merry clip.l Costello and Campazzi pull

his way around Mount St Mary's left
end for Is yards and a touchdown,
