Turkey Day football at Georgetown be-
fore a big crowd brought to light rival
right here in the District able to put
up the sort Of sport that delights the fol-
lowers Of the grand old autumn game.
GaIlaudet College from Kendall Green
gave Georgetown battle. The score was
L to and there was something doing
every minute.
Twice during the game the visitors
came within scoring distance. but for
ward passes and a kick from placement
failed to yield points. This happened IN
the first and final quarters.
GEORGETOWN rammed its way to aStouch-
down in the opening period and forward
passed its second touchdown shortly aft
er the final period opened.
Ehe real bit of fancy work during the
aftsrnoon was performed by Right End
Marshall, Of GaIlaudetin the third period,
when he grabbed the pigskin after Kel-
" had fumbIed it and sprinted 50 yards
for a touchdown.
Marshall carved a niche for himself in
GaIlaudetns hall Of fame by this nifty
play and the little knot Of students and
alumni huddled in one section OF the
west stand went fairly wild with joy.
The Kendall Greeners were satisfied to
hold Georgetown to a pair Of touch
downs. Faint hope was held out that Gal
Iaudet would score, but the scrappy
little Northeast eleven simply covered
itself with glory and upset lot OF pre-
dictions.
Georgetown was palpably stale. Its IA
nous rush line was punctured time and
again. Tackles Ward and Gormley were
boxed by lighter opponents and few
teams this season have scored more
ground through the Blue and Gray for
wards than did Gallaudet yesterday.
Georgetown Surprised.
The HiIItoppers had been trained up to
the Washington and Jefferson game last
Saturday and were not expecting much
trouble with Gallaudet, but the contest
was only a few minutes old when it was
apparent that Coach Exendine's charges
must look to their laurels.
There was no signs of dirty football
Yesterday, a charge that has been laid
at Georgetown's door by certain out-of-
town football coaches and others. The
game was as clean as a whistle in this
respect. and no unnecessary roughness
could be detected at any stage.
Handicapped physically in the matter
of hearing the Gallaudet boys made up
Cor this deficiency by displaying thor
the ball closely and uncorking at times
a puzzlng attack. On the defense they
also looked good. and could not be fooled
by Georgetown's forward passes.
Gallaudet got the jump on the Hill
toppers during the first few minutes of
play and soon had the ball on George
towns S5-yard line, where a kick from
placement failed.
few minutes later Petritz intercepted
Of ca rn mas d.
field and about eight rushes yielded a
touchdown. Noark missed an easy goal
There was no scoring in the second
period. play being confined almost en-
ti7ely to GaIlaudet's territory.
CrOnin Scores Touchdown.
In the third period. after five minutes
of play, had been consumed the Hilltop
per smashed their way to Gallaudet's 10
yard line where was successfully pulled
Off. Georgetown's only forward pass, a
touchdown resulting Calnan shooting the
ball to Cronin. who caught it behind
the goal line. Noark punted out but the
kick was poor and the ball hit the
ground.
the final period Georgetown was rip
ping through for big gains and steadily
marching toward GallaUdet's goal line,
when suddenly the ball popped out of
Left Half Back KelIey's arms, after the
latter had made a good gain. Marshall
was on the oval like a flash, picking it
up and dashing madly toward the Hill
toppers' goal. Hugh Golden made a des-
perate effort to head of the flying end.
but Marshall had too big a lead, and
planted the ball behind the posts. Moore
kicked an easy goal
The Kendall Greeners attempted a
novel trick in the final quarter which
nearly worked for a 4O-yard gain. Foltz,
with the ball under his arm, walked up
as If to talk to the umpire. He sudden
ly dashed down the field and was tripped
up by Calnan and Golden.
Play Failed to Work.
The ball was brought back by the
officials, who claimed that it had been
put in play before the whistle was blown,
although it was admitted that seven men
We're on the line OF scrimmage, and had
the whistle blown before the ball was
