Ry WILLIAM PEET.

Georgetown caught a tartar in
the football eleven representing
Wesleyan University, of Buck
hannon, w. Va, yesterday, and
went down to Is to 6 defeat.
The visitors simply forward
passed the Hilltoppers out of the
league, giving the most brilliant
exhibition of the open style of
football ever seen on the Hilltop
Field.
During the second half, after
Georgetown had been fooled so
often by the visitors long fling, the
wearers of the Blue and Gray
. knew Just what was coming off,
and yet were unable to break it up.
For jumping into the air and
catching the ball, Right End Neale
has anything beaten TO a frazzle
around these parts, while Quarter
Back Stansbury in heaving the
pigskin was as accurate as Walter
Johnson with the count two and
three on a batter.
KeIIIson Drops One Over!
Stansbury and Neale beat the
Hilltoppers, while Right Tackle
Kellison added to the misery of
the home folks with a goal from
placement in the third quarter.
The game itself was rough. two Wis
ttors and one Georgetown player were
disqualified for slugging. Both teams
showed battle scars when the final whis-
lie blew
Georgetown was fairly beaten. and the
Hilltop coaches can offer no excuses; in
fact, il is doubtful il they would care

said last. night: We met one of the
cleverest teams Georgetown has played
in my recollection. While 1t was true
cover, yet I doubt il we could have
beaten them had we been able to present
our strongest lineup and uncorked all
We had In, the matter of offense."
Georgetown was forced to defend its
own goal most of the time, and only
twice threatened to tear things up, scor-
ing a touchdown in the second period
for long runs. and in the final quarter
when 4 penalty put the ball within Is
yards Of Wesleyan's goal line, but the
Hilltoppers' chances were tossed to the
winds and an opportunity to score
thrown away by rough work, followed
by a disqualification and the usual PEN

Capt. Costello was sent in when the
second half opened, and could not get
away for any OF his long runs, so quickly
were the opposing forwards and backs
on top of him.
Georgetown won the toss and received
the kick, defending the south goal. OBJ

stirring. Jim Dunn caught the ball on
the opening kickoff. and ran it back

through the visitors line for substantial
gains, but when the thirty-eight yard line
was reached were forced to relinquish the
oval on downs. During the remainder of
the period the ball was in Wesleyan's
territory, and when the whistle blew the

and finally lost the ball on downs. At
this stage the open play of the visitors
started, one forward pass after another
followed in such bewildering fashion that
the home team was dazed, and in less
time than it takes to tell. Stansbury
whistled the oval to Neale near the
corner of the field, and a touchdown re-
suited. Kellison missed goal
Right here Georgetown delighted its
followers by uncorking an attack that
could not be stopped. and playing the
only good offensive football of the daS.

The second Half.
During the entire second half the
Methodists outplayed Georgetown. -Four
minutes after the third period opened
the ball was within twenty yards Of

dropped back and booted 1t over from
placement.
Frequent changes were made In the
Hilltop eleven, fresh men replacing the
battered linesmen and backs, but even
with Capt. Costello to lead his team,
Georgetown could not gain consistently.
and when the third period closed George

goal with the ball but ten yards away.
