By WILLIAM PEET.

That's the way the old football song
goes and It was chanted across the
Hilltop field yesterday afternoon by
several thousand young men at the
close of one of the hardest fought
games seen here in a long time.
Jack Hegarty's Carolina Aggies
from Raleigh were soundly drubbed.
The score. 2S to 0. in Georgetown
favor does not begin to tell OF the
ferceness of the battle for the Tar
Heels were as full of fight as n sailor
on shore leave, when somebody tries
to roll" him for his wad.
They may lick us. but they cant
scare us" Coach Hegarty's predic-
ton before the battle was certainly
carried out. a. & NJ refused to be
scared and batued to the last ditch.
but they were up against better
football team. better defensively and
vastly superior extensively.
In only one period did the Tar Heels
show the stuff we had been led to
believe they would unCork, and in this
chapter actually gained almost as
much ground as the HilltOppers and
It looked as If a lone touchdown or
field goal would eventually wrest the
verdict.
Georgetown's superiority was mani
tested before the second period was
many minutes old. for Pete Wall, on
split play, shot through the visiting right
tackle for a 81 yard run. and on the next
plunge carried the ball over for touch
down. After this there was nothing to
It and merely a question as to what the
score would be in GeorgetOwn's favor.
Carolina had been told aobut the
broken field running OF Johnny Gilroy,
also Gilroy's ability to skirt the ends,
1T G1rr.u- d
hawk-like intensity. thereby pulling a
bone" as they say in baseball. for
FuIIback Leighty and HsIfback Wall,
between them. gained twice as mucn
ground as did Gilroy. and were promi-
nent factors in the Hilltop victory.
Bill Cusack and Bunny Corcoran.
, Georgetown's ends. were also very I'M
portant cogs in the Hilltop machine. both
Of whom handled the ball we'll enough
on forward passes to add a touchdown
apiece. besides playing fine defensive
football
The preliminary wranGlinE over Off
Gals had no bearing whatsoever on the
outcome of the game so far as Carolina
A & NJ. is concerned, for Georgetown
was penaIized about as often rs was
Carolina. while one Hilltop player was
banished- to the side lines for unneces-
sary roughness. while a big Tarheel
linesman was fired because he used
profane language.
Georgetown's scoring was confined en-
tirely to the three final periods Wallis
touchdown in the second quarter was
followed up in the third by touchdowns
by Corcoran and Lightly. while in the
final chapter Bill Cusack grabbed the
ball on a forward pass and ran 30 yards
for the last counter.
Only once did Carolina carry the
fight to Georgetown's territory. that
was in the opening frame. when the
ball was rushed to the 3S-yard line.
At forward passing the home team
had something tucked away up its
sleeve, for while A dozen long filings
were intercepted and broken up. yet
two resulted in touchdowns. while the
visitors could not gain a single inch
by the aerial route, every attempt miss
ing fire.
Probably the biggest crowd of the
season turned out and il seemed like
old times to have the Law School
present a big delegation augmented by
a brass band. also a white goat nattily
attired in Carolina livery.
1t would be hard indeed to pick out
any one star on the Georgetown team.
Every man knew what was expected
of him. and did not shirk. The Hilltop
pers possess no real stars this season.
but as a smooth running machine is
about the best team ever turned out at
the West Side institution.
For Carolina. Riddick. supposed to be
great punter, did not begin to COM
pare with Little Maloney, probably be-
cause the Georgetown forwards were
right on top of Riddick almost every
time he stepped back and forced him
TO hurry along his kicks. Sullivan.
Carolins's best back field ground gain
er' was kicked in the face early in the
game, and could gain only spasmodi-
cally, for his nose was bleeding so
freely that he complained of being half
blinded every time he was called upon
to rush the ball The game in detail:
