Hilltop Eleven Runs Up Score
of So to 0 on Reina Mercedes
Team from Annapolis.
ALL PLAYERS ARE USED
BY ARTHUR =. wRENN.

The famous Georgetown football team
which trimmed Navy last Saturday per-
formed for the first time here yesterday
with the L. :. Reina Mercedes eleven. of
Annapolis. as opponents. and those fans
who withstood the cold brceZeS which
swept across tine field to watch the Hill
top team! were well satisfied with tho
afternoon. 1t was nothing but George
town from the first whistle to the last,
and when Mcnamara went across the
goal line three minutes after play had
started it marked the opening of one
grand parade. 1t was a repetition of the
g. \. r. parade held in this city few
days back, with the Annapolis eleven as
the goat. Score: Georgetown, IS: An
mapols. ..
The Georgetown varsity team started
the contest, but before the second quarter
was over Coach Exendine started the
substituting and kept it up in n constant
stream until the end. In one way the
third andi fourth String men who went
into the game for Georgetown acquitted
themselves in a better way than the var
sity. as there were no first downs scoreh
against their team. while the lone gain
of the game for the visitors was recorded
against the varsity through the virtue of
a well-eXecuted forward pass.
During the entire game the ball was In
Reina Mercedes territory, and although
they chose to kick on numerous occa-
sions in preference to rushing the ball
such was the case. This was merely a
practice game and nothing hinged upon
the result. Coach Exendine was able to
get a good line on his substitutes, and
it would not he at all surprising to see
suine OF the third-string men replace the
varsity players.
Mcnamara Features.
Mcnamara. the speedy quarter back,
was everywhere. gaining ON every try,
and once he got away showed some or
the best broken field running of the sea
son. His gains ranged from ten yards to
fifty, and these sandwiched in with sew
eral of the same distance by Wall. G1roy
and Leighty, helped swell the score In no
small degree. Nothing but clean football
was on the card and the beautiful runs
knocked off by the Hilltop backfeld
marks the eleven as the best possible,
and one which is sure to give the North
Carolina eleven quite a mouthful
Little Tommy Gormley, the 236-pound
tackle, showed the substitutes thing
or two about the tacloe position. and it
is doubtful II the scrubs will ever get
another chance at his position. owing to
the fact that he was the tower on the
defense and could be called upon at any
time to make the required distance for
q first down. The coaches at the George
town school have reason for rejoicing.
as his return to form means much In the
minds Of the players.
.he Georgetown backs were stopped
but one time during the entire game.
while Callahan, of the visiting team. was
credited with several gains Of small dis
tance. Near the end Of the third period
Ackerman. who had assisted Callahan to
no small per cent, sustained a broken
collarbone, and the visiting teams last
chance for a score was gone. This was
the only injury excepting scratches re-
ceived during the game and both teams
finished In good condition.
