ington and Lee, l9 To

Employing old-fsshioned football
tactics for the most part, the Midship-
men rolled up % points on the George
town University eleven Saturday aft
ernoon and at the same time held the
foe witout any real semblance of a
count. rhe middies were much heav-
Ter than the varsity lads and to the
latter goes much credit for the plucky
manner in which they fought from
the opening to the closing whistle.
The Georgetown backfeld combi-
nation, with the feet and nimble little
fellow. Costello, driving the team,
displayed all the speed that had been
heralded for it, They got off most of
the plays with vim, but the charg-
ing of the heavy Navy forwards was
too much for them and time and again
plays were smeared and tLeir runner
downed before he got well under way.
Not once was the swift-footed Cos
tello able to get clear in his attempts
to circle the Navy ends, and while
he handled punts in almost fluitless
style two and three MILDLY tacklers
were always on hand ready to down
him as soon al. he received the ball.
Despite the dc cisive score the de-
iensive work of Georgetown out
shone the much touted offensive
strength. The varsity boys held the
middies without score in the open
ing period, but in the second quarter
the sailor lads crossed the opposing
goal line twice in rather quick success
sion. Then it was that the visitors
realized that they must direct their
efforts to holding the score down to
as low figure as possible.
The game was marked by frequent
pe lalties, and each team suffered
about alike in the loss of yards. The
offenses included slugging, tripping,
holding and offside. Leonard, of Navy,
and Moriarty, of Georgetown, were
disqualified for unnecessary rough
ness in the early stages of the battle,
and these offenses cost each team q
penalty of half the distance from the
point of play to the goal line.
Georgetown got away to a good
start, and for the first few minutes of
play it seemed as though the middies
would have a tough proposition to
hande. Frequent pUnting marked the
opening of hcstiities, and the visitors
finally got possession of the ball
eight yards from Navy's goal line,
when McReavy fumbed one of Cos
telo's kicks. On the first lineup, how
ever, the visitors fumbled, Gilchrist
falling on the leather for Navy, and
Alexander punted out of danger.
1t was apparent that the visitors
could not make much headway by
rushing, so strong was the Navy de-
fense, and il was thought that Cos
telIo would attempt display of his
ability at field goal kicking. Instead,
on the fourth down, with several
yards to go, forward pass was at
tempted and 1t was intercepted by
NcReavy for Navy. Navy's first
score came after it got the ball on
Georgetown's 30-yard mark on an IL
legal kick. Harrison went through
tackle for IL yards. A penalty for
offside brought the leather five yards
nearer, and la four more lines smash
ing plays Harrison went over for a
touchdown, Bown kicking goal.
The second touchdown came in
quick order, and followed the most
spectacular play of the game. TAX
ing the ball on the kickoff, Alexan-
der sprinted through all of the oppos-
ing players for run of IS yards.
He was tripped by a George town
player on Georgetown 20-yard line.
The penalty for this carried the
ball nearer, though the middies lost
five yards for off, side. However, in
two plays, Harrison and Vail carry.
ing the ball, made it first down, and
McReavy went through tackle for the
score, BrowG kicking goal
Neither team got within striking
distance in the third quarter, but in
the final session Brown added three
points to the score by a placement
goal from the 30-yard line. A 90
yard ran by McReavy was largely
responsible for the last touchdown.
He plowed through Georgetown s
left tackle and shook off sever al
tacklers before being thrown on the
visitors 15-ysrd line. Miles scored
