Lack of Big Game
Felt in Foot Ball

The one drawback to the past foot
ball season was the lack Of q great
game. such as that played between
Georgetown and Virginia for several
years. There were plenty Of splendidly
contested battles. but there was not
one which aroused the enthusiasm and
brought the distinctiveness of that

Blue and Gray and Orange and Blue
until the disruption of last fall year
ago. However. steps now are being
taken to remedy that condition.

concerned there was nothing to be de-
sired over what was produced. George
town started it's schedule by playing
Fordham to a tie, and 1t has never be-

The Blue and Gray then lost to Wash
ington and Lee the University Of Pitts
burgh and the Navy, but made a bril-
liant showing by playing the Wash
ington and Jefferson eleven, conqueror

town met Gallaudet for the first time
since 1909, and had a hard time VIM

ness after the grueling contest with
the Pennsylvanians. The victory over
Gallaudet and another win from West
Virginia Wesleyan were the only games
won by Georgetown. though, when it is
considered that its team played a very
hard list OF contests and had only green
material from which to build, the show
ing made was not poor by any means,
