BY n. C. BYRD.

Showing an offense more pow
erful than any seen here this sea-
son and defense that was SO I'M
pregnable that its opponent was
unable to get the ball witllih
thirty yards of its goal at any
time, Georgetown's great foot
ball team slashed its way to
decisive victory over the North
Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical College on the hilltop
yesterday by score of % to q.
The score tells the story of the
contest-that the Blue and GRAY
outclassed the Carolinians- in
every department of play.
The Carolina team had bull, its
defense to withstand the heavy
line-plunging tactics of the
Georgetown backs, the tactics by
which the Blue and Gray has rid
den roughshod over many eleyens
this season, but was surprised by
the splendid assortment of open
plays which was sprung. Espe-
cially. was this true of the for
ward passing, as the Blue and
Gray backs time after time
hurled the ball down the field for
long gains and then took turns at
shooting the ball on short, fast
passes out to the ends or over the
line. Gi1roy did most of the pass
ing, and his heaves were consist
emily accurate, fast and we'll
timed.
Ends Handle Passes Well.
Cusack and Corcoran were on the re-
ceiving end of the passes and both did
well In handling the ball. In the last
quarter. from a kick formation, Gilroy
threw the ball far down the field Ia
Corcoran. who caught the ball after il
had travelled 40 yards, but after carry
ing it for yards and juggling it he
dropped the oval and the officials ruled
the pass incomplete.
Georgetowns freshman backfeld did
some remarkable work. Time after
time Leighty, Wall and Gilroy tore OF
gains of from 10 to 80 yards and seldom
failed to respond with gains when
called upon to carry the ball. It was
Wall who placed the ball on the 3-yard
line after a gain OF about 30 yards
through a broken field on slide-tackle
play and moment later carried the
ball across himself. To show that there
was versatility in the manner of scor-
ing touchdowns. the next score was
made by reason of a short forward pass
directly over the line of scrimmagc to
Corcoran and the latter covered the 35
yards to the goal line.
Ma1oney, the quarterback member of
the first-year quartet. played his posi-
tton about the best he ever has. The
youngster not only directed his team in
a style which would have done credit to
a much more experienced player. but he
punted exceptionally well, outdistanc-
ing Riddick. the big North Carolina
back. by great deal. His punts were
judgment. go
NAHUM Star OF Forwards.
Nahum was the star of the George.
town forwards. barring, possibly. the
work of the two ends. Nahum did
some remarkable work in his guard
position on the offensive and defensive.
He broke through and spoiled play
after play A. and N. directed at the line
and more than once he opened great
holes through which Leighty~ could
drive for consistent gains.
Both teams showed that they had
been keyed up to the game when they
took the field and all through the first
quarter the players fought as il their
lives depended upon the result. and con-
either eleven. 1t was in this period
that A. and NJ did it's best work. Its
defense had been prepared for the on

The players put all their energies into
he contest, and the cases of rough
york were negligible. Penalties were
nfreauent. and what there were came
or on side play. due to the overeager-
ess of the lfnemen to charge fast, and

Gilroy Runs Back AZ Yards.
At the beginning of the contest Rid
ick kicked to Gilroy, who threaded his
Tay through the Aggies for forty-two
ards before he was downed. On tho
rst play Gilroy was again given the
lay, and he made eighteen yards

ards more around the other hanks.
