Lack of Team Play Injure, Chances

Lighter Eleven.
SHOW POOR CONDITION

Catholic University inaugurated its
football season yesterday by going down
to defeat before the fast little Rock Hill
Staleys Ellicot City team was out
weighed by the Brooklanders ten pounds
10 the man, but offset this handicap by
fast offensive plays and sterling defense.
Catholic University clearly showed the
lack of condition and team play, but con-
sidering the fact that Coach Greer has
had the Red and Black eleven out but
one week. the BroOklanders put up a
good article of ball and are sure to be
heard from in the near future.
Game Hard Fought.
The game was harder fought than the
score indicates, the big Red and Black
eleven contesting the Marylanders every
inch of the way, and outside of the slug
ging of Gormley in the third period the
piest that has ever been seen on the
BroOkland field.
The Brooklanders received the kickoff
and brought il to midfield, where the Blue
and White eleven held for downs, and
then the Marylanders started a slow but
sure parade toward the west goal for the
first tally of the day. Capt. Staley plant
ing the pigskin behind the goal line after
great run off tackle.
The visitors scored again the third
period. Mueller picking up one of the
Catholic University's fumbles and sprint
ing 80 yards for a touchdown Capt.
Staley played the bali across the cross
bars, making the total 13
Fun'bIeS Hurt Catholic University.
The big Red and Black team marred
its exceptionally good work on the de-
fense by the poor handling of the ball
when team work meant scores A bad
pass by Murphy to Moran in the second
period killed the first of Catholic UNI
versity's chances to score, and again in
the third, after Hichliffe had carried the
ball to the 2O-yard line, the Ellicot City
eleven quickly stopped the Brooklanders,
when Corbett recovered a tumble.
In the last quarter. Catholic University
made a game effort to overtake the lead
Of the Blue and White team, and through
the good work OF McMahon and Letters,
the Brooklanders kept Rock Hill on a
run until time was called. The tackling
Of Capt. Staley, NJ. Collins and Mueller
was the best of the day. while Gormley,
Lynch and Moran starred for the Red

MORIARITY IS INJURED

GeorgetOwn's gridiron team had its
first real taste OF football yesterday
when II lined-up against Uncle Sans
strong Naval Academy eleven on the
Annapolis boys field. coming out on
the wrong end of % to 0 count. The
HilltoppePs made a good showing in
holding the Annapolis boys to so close
score. While Georgetown did not
cross the Navy's goal line or Costello S
right foot send the oval between the
bars for a field goal. the Hilltoppers
made the MiddieS go the limit TO avert
score. In the first three minutes of
play Moriarity was forced out of the
game with a cut on his head, which
will keep him out OF the game for two
weeks at least.
Only one first down was gained by
the Blue and Gray warriors, and that
came in the latter part of the game.
when Costello heaved the ball to Nc
Nulty. and the latter ran % yards be
fore he was downed, while, on the
other hand the Navy boys made first
downs at will. But for injuries re-
ceived on the Georgetown side during
the first quarter. a different story
might have been told. During the first
period the HilltOppers played the Navy
boys to a standstill, the ball at the
end of play being in Navy's territory.
Use Reserve Teams.
Both elevens used almost new teams
near the fag end of the game and some
of the new men will surely push the
veterans for their jobs. Not once could
the Blue and Gray back field get started
before one or more of the navy lines
men would be through and on them.
Invariably this would happen when an
end run would be attempted. While on
the defense the Hill toppers' line was
torn to pieces by the fast, charging
Navy forwards. Few line plunGes were
tried by the losers. as they realized that
the Middies line was impregnable. on ac-
count of this, the Blue and Gray
boys lost much ground on end runs.
Alexanders run through the entire
Georgetown team featured a rough. but
fast contest. With the goal in site and
no one TO stop him. Alexander was
brought to the ground from behind by
Murray on Georgetown's 15-yard line.
Brown showed his ability as a field goal
kicker. when he sent one over the bars
from the 25-yard line. Murray, Tor the
Blue and Gray lads, put up one of the
best defensive games that has been wit
messed on the Annapolis field in many
a day. Lineup and summary:

You can't take that away from US. The

l cannot attempt to excuse the poor
play of the Giants II II had been only
one game that their faults stuck out so
prominently l could have attributed
it to the vagary of form reversal. But
in every start the cards were gummed.
From start TO finish the Athletics showed
us up. We simply thrust games upon
them.
There is no half way in baseball. A
team must either win or lose. We could
have stood to lose had We played as We
can, but it broke my heart to see the
way things went. l suppose that, sitting
through four of the games, l had better
chance to look on from the outside. If
our team showed any major league base

Throughout this series the Athletics
have shown wonderful consistency. both
and defensively. They have
hit our pitchers as hard and timely as
any team that ever faced them. But still
we would have taken the long end Of

BY c. NJ. MONTGOMERY.

Yesterdays game. in which the
Colts succeeded in laying in a store
of runs during the early innings to
offset those which the Tigers made in
the final frame by a great and thrill
producing rally. was filled with sem
sation after sensation and there was
not one in the large Saturday crowd
lize that he had seen a real bali game.
The Colts TALES were Just suffi
Gent to bring them out ahead of the
scored by the Tigers.
Charlie Strain went the route for
the Colts, and in fair form, too. He
had been hit considerably harder
than were Gardin and Tarlson, and
the fielding errors made behind him
did not tend to aid him in his work.
However. tho Colts banged the pill
at the times when the swats could
produce runs, and won on their form.
Gardtn lasted before them for one and
a third frames before Tarlson, re-
neved him. The latter started Off like
wfidfre and seemed to be out for a
strikeout record. This did not last
for a long while. though, and soon
eight of the local players were sing
ling Oft him with great frequency;
while the other one, youngster,
Mace by name, was TRIPPING every
now and then. He did better toward
the last of the game and. although
walking several, was not hit very
often.
Colts Make Great Doubles.
The two double plays pulled off
by the Colts were classics and but
seldom has there been such a demon
etration as was given Newton when
he pulled Maths liner out of the sky
and doubled Irmscher off first. The
play was a hard one and performed
beautifully and the player was not
only clapped. but the fans stood up
and yelled. something very unusual
for staid old Richmond. Mace ran
into the diamond. grabbed short
pop frim Irmscher's bat and doubled
Pressiy off the initial sack. he also
was applauded.
The runs by both teams were made
by cloutiay the ball at just the right
time Several errors aided in places
as did stolen bags. wild pitches and
