Exendine will take his Georgetown
giadiators to New. York tomorrow for
the annual clash with Rordham at the
Bronx on election day. Georgetown
goes to New York hopeful Of winning
from the Maroon by a comfortable mar
gin.
The IIilltoppers have one OF the best
elevens In the history Of football at vhe
university. A single defeat, that in the
opening game Of the campaign by the
Middies, smirches the record OF the Blue
and Gray. and only the failure OF
Randolph Macon to play their scheduled
contest at the Hilltop made II possible
for the Georgetown team to lose to the
Afiddies. In the second half, when
walked UP, the Hilltoppers ran wild.
Then came a practice jaunt against
Eastern College before the Exendine
troupe tackled Dartmouth, one OF the
strongest olevens In the East. Jumping
upon the Hanover before they could
get their breath, Georgetown scored a
touchdown In the very first quarter.
Later Jackie Maloncy booted field
goal. making the score 10 10 In favor
of Georgetown. In the third period
Dartmouth outplayed Georgetown, but
in the other periods the Washing
ton team showed itself clearly master
of the Hanoverians.
II is because Of that victory over Dart
mouth that Georgetown rules IA
