DEAR FOLKS.
They stood at eve as On sun went down
On tn field they'd tfuI won
Big brawny lads. In tn hush O youth.
After q seasons work well done.
Thsn with heads all hare they reut Ii air
With outlandish sound.
Twas tn football way q giyin' thsnlsl
To Cod fos old Georsstova
Dear Folks: Lon claims tn above can
be recited II you're any kind o. reciter.
but IL amt no use payin' attention { him
after tn way he carried on at tn George
town-George Washington football game
yesterday afternoon. ~.
Never have I saw him act 30 before.
First he was on one side an then on tn
other, an in tn last section when tn great
Johnny Gilroy run tn whole length of
tn field for a touchdown I thought I'd
have T. call a cop. Th' last I see OF
him was cheer-leadin' a rosy checked
bunch o. George Washington Josies, an
behavin' simply scandalous.
TIL fool kid amt never been t. college.
but has a wild idea just cause he wears
ridiculous rags" that everybody takes
him for a "rah-rah" boy tn minute he
gets near a campus. However, II was
sure one grand afternoon, an although
tn track. I mean field. was turrible
muddy, an the Georgetown lads far out
classed tn George Washington crew, tn
renewal of tn game helped e rekindle
in tn hearts Of tn thousands Of local
football enthusiasts tn spirit that has
been smolderin' for night on T. ten
years There amt no two ways about
1t. football an Thanksgivin' certainly be-
long in tn same pew.
There was a great crowd on hand, an
from l O'Clock when tn gates was throw
ed open until along about 4:3o. when Old
Sol was fast sinkin' behind tn hills of
My Maryland, leavin' slhoutted on tn
Georgetown campus tn figures Of tn
greatest gridiron team III old University
has saw In many a moon. good cheer an
holiday spirit made everybody happy.
. II amt a particle o. use goin' into
details. Georgetown simply outclassed
their weaker rivals who, II must be said,
done all that was expected of them, an
done Il we'll They amt got nothin'
t. be ashamed of.
tn final score was q to 7, but tn
game seemed much closer than tn score
would indicate.
George Washington scored first in tn
very first section. Some way or other
Johnny Gilroy pulled a tumble. an be-
fore you could whistle a guy named Gin
como-what sounds like a drink-hopped
on tn pigskin an run tn whole length
O. IN field. scorin' a touchdown. It was
here that Lon, who was leadin' tn CO.
Eds behaved so outrageous. This unex-
pected move Of tn Hatchetites made
Georgetown wake up, an as soon tn old
master stroke Of head coach Exendine
got tn big machine in order there wasn't
nothin' to 1t but tn Hilltoppers all tn
way.
Georgetown commenced pullin' out their
big stars along about tn beginnin' OF tn
third section. an by tn time tn game
was over most all OF 'em had quit.
Johnny Gilroy played until tn last few
minutes of tn game. when he got hurt.
an proved to tn enthusiastic outpourin'
that he hasn't got a peer in tn country
(Mr. Camp an others please copy. All
told tn game was a good one. good
team won, an a good team lost, so why
should you worry?
