Memories of past humiliations were
completely erased from mind yesterday
afternoon when Washington and Lee
University turned the tables on George
town University. and sent the HILL
toppers down to defeat by the score Of
Is TO 0. The game. the first big con-
test of the local season was played at
Broad Street Park before n crowd OF
5000 enthusiastic supporters OF the two
contcnders.
1t was too much Young that de-
feated Georgetown. This young man
from the LeXingto institution not only
kept the oval in the enemys territory
by his superb punts, but managed to
pick his way through the Hilltoppers
for sixty-flve-yard run, and figured
in the majority OF the successful gains.
No better day for game could have
been desired The air WAS crisp and
the sun beamcd over the field Little
or no wind was blowing, and the field.
in spite OF the downpour Of rain during
the week. was in good shape for the
contest. From the spectators view
point, the conditions were ideal.
w. d. l.. Battlers Were Lucky.
Luck figured In the victory of wash
ington and Lee, particularly in the first
half, when all the breaks went against
Georgetown. Fumbles counted heavily.
and the first touchdown came as the
result OF one. The final score, however,
was well earned by the MIN bled foo ed
Young, who made one of the most
spectacular plays ever pulled off on the
local gridiron. His run through the
Hilltop team will linger long in the
football annals OF Washington and Lee.
1t cannot be said that either team
played at top form. Fumbles were not
infrequent on either side. though
Georgetown figured chiefly in this brand
of miscues. Again. neither team at

lions. probably reserving them for later
contests. Old-time football, inter
spersed with attempts at forward
passes. marked the style of play. II
was line buck and end run, punt and
pass, without even a double pass at
tempted
Generals 0utcloss Georgetown.
Washington and Lee clearly out
classed the Catholics In the punting
game. Young sent his long spirals down
the field time and time again for forty
to fifty yards, while Georgetown was
unable to get off any particularly long
kick. On the exchange of punts, the
Generals gained every time. Then, too.
the Lexington ends were down undor
the ball like flash. and seldom did tho
receiver get started.
The line of tho Hilltoppers was i'm
pregnable. although lanky Miles gave
his opponents all that they desired. The
Generals were unable to mako material
gains here, and practically all ground
WAS made around the ends. The chief
points of vantage sought by the Hill
toppers was off tackle, and Captain
Murray could generally be depended
upon to advance the oval in that direc-
ton.
First Score Result OF tumble.
Tho first score was made as the di-
rect result Of tumble by Murray. The
ball was picked by Sweetland, who ran
for thirty yards and touchdown. He
brought the oval directly behind the
goal posts, and 1T was an easy thing for
Young to send 1t between the uprights.
The final touchdown came In the first
play OF the final period, when Young
fpick cd his way through the whole team.
The game was free from roughness,
except when Gormley made an attempt
TO tackle .Donahue out of bounds. when
the little quarter had stopped and was
about to toss the ball to the umpire.
For this play the Hilltoppers were pen
Salizod. The action of Gormley was
proably the result OF q mistake. but
called down the wrath of the officials.
