factor IN the game. The
individual efforts of the lads from
the Tarheel State were unable to
Withstand the concentrated attack
of the Georgetown eleven.
Gain Almost At VIII.
Interference Of the highest calIber and
the smashing up Of plays rendered the
Raleigh team practically helpless. and
enabled the Georgetown eleven to fore
stall the attack Of their opponents and
gain ground almost at will.
The style of football used by both
teams was to a great extent bordering
on the old style, while the Southerners
resorted to forward pass work when they
found II impossible to gain through the
Blue and Gray line. Although the play
Of both teams was fierce at points, still
there was a noticeable mark OF good
sportsmanship which reigned supreme
during the entire contest.
To-day was the principal day in the
State fair which Is being held here, and
owing TO the influx of people from the
neighboring towns and the keen interest
that exists in football in this section Of
the country. there was a record-breaking
crowd at the A. and NJ. field to applaud
the efforts OF the contesting teams.
Although the North Carolinians had de-
cidedly the greater following at the start
Of the game. the caliber of play and the
superior quality OF football played by
Georgetown soon won large number Of
the fans to the Blue and Gray ranks.
Farmers Ost Of Series.
The result Of to-day's game between
Georgetown and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College Of North Carolina has
very important bearing in deciding the
premier honors among the colleges south
of the Mason and Dixon line In past
years there has always been the keenest
rivalry between A. and NJ. and Washing
tonians, and the close followers Of the
sport will recall the fierce battle that
resulted In a 90 tie in 1910. The defeat
Of A. and NJ. this afternoon on the lat
ter's field practically puts the boys. from
the Tarheel State out OF the running for
this year, and makes Georgetown a de-
cided favorite for the South Atlantic col
legiate championship once again. To-
day Is the first time the Farmers have
been beaten On their own gridiron in
eight years.
Although it is practically impossible
to pick a star from the Blue and Gray
cohorts In this afternoons contest as the
team work of the entire eleven at all
times during the game was easily the
feature. still the work of Capt. Hegarty,
Costello, Dunn. White. Donnelly. Rich,
Derby and Baron should receive the
greatest applause. Costellos circling Of
his opponents end was probably one Of
the greatest individual features of the
contest, while Tug Fury also played
up to his usual standard and caused
the opposing ends the greatest trouble
as the Blue and Gray stocky half back
(Nn Iii s
eral long spectacular runs.
The work of the entire back field was
by far up to the standard that should
be expected at this season OF the year
and was marked by fast and accurate
charging into the line. while the inter-
ference run BY the Capital City team
was almost irresistible. The game was
Georgetown's from every point that can
be considered and was a victory well
earned by the Georgetown University
eleven.
Costello kicked of to Anthony. of the
A. and NJ. team. in the first period, who
ran the ball back ten yards before he
was downed. The lads from the Tar
heel State were then unable to gain
around the ends or through the line
and so they were forced to kick. Cos
tello received the punt and ran 1t back
twenty-five yards. The ball then
changed hands again owing to a tumble
by the Blue and Gray back field. but the
Raleigh eleven were again unable to
make their first down, SO the ball went
over to Georgetown. On the next play
Costello carried the ball around Cham
pion, the A. and NJ. right end, for thirty
yards, and on the next play White
plunged through the center for fifteen
yards and on the next play the Blue
and Gray fullback went through the
center for five more. 1t was at this
stage Of the game that Georgetown
could first be seen to be outclassing
their opponents. A. and M. were then
penalized for rough play and this penal
ty put the ball on the local teams sne-
yard line when time was called for the
first quarter. Score o to 0.
