GEORGETOWN Wins :
FROM FORDHAM
New York ColIegians Unable to
Check Terrific Onslaught

New York, Nov. 8-Georgetown de-
feated Fordham on the gridiron at
Fordham field yesterday afternoon
while 10000 persons looked on. The
score was 10 to 0, and about meas
ured the difference in the power of
the teams. Georgetown improved up
on two of their four chances to score,
while Fordham, with two opportuni-
ties to strike a telling blow, was I'M
able to develop a real punch in the
attack Once a tumble, with the goal
line only twenty yards away, stopped
the advance of the Maroon; another
time McQuade, the fullback of the
Southerners, intercepted forward
pass on his own 10-yard line and pre-
vented a touchdown.
A forceful, cunningly planned at
tack directed by Maloney, who proved
himself real quarterback, told the
tale. Twice Georgetown swept ON
down the field in stirring marches,
hurting a power into every charge
that could not be wfthstood. At the
start of the third period McQuade
slammed his way through the line
| while his interference overwhelmed
| Cadell, plunging seven yards for a
touchdown. SO ended an advance of
seventy yards after receiving the hckr
off. Ten plays and 5-yard penalty
| led up to the touchdown.
! In the closing moments of the game
Whelan, right end of Georgetown,
broke free and ran across the goal
line, where he caught a forward pass
from Gilroy TO rthe final SCORE of the
game. Fifteen plays were used to
gain sixty-one yards and the touch
down. hi
A fiercer game between two wsfi-
coached, finely conditioned teams has
not been seen in this city in many a
day. The play was cyclontc In it's
speed from whistle to whistle, and as
the battle wore along the boys al
lowed their passions to overcome their
discretion. There was not a little
rough work. and finally Cusack. left
end of the Georgetown team, playful
ly punched a Fordham man in the
jaw as he ran down the field after %
| kick. Cusack was disqualified at
once and his team penalized half the
| distance to the goal line, loss in
yards of thirty-nve. t4
| Fordham's left flank was woefully
weak, and IT was not long before Ma
loney, feeling his way along the line
| with plays of savage power, discQv-
cred the fact. Then, sure of his prey,
he sent plunge after plunge crashing
at Huggenvig, slicing his backs In be-
tween that worthy and Jack CantwelL
who performed heroic deeds in the eff
fort to withstand the ruthless advances
of the enemy.
1t was not long before Cadell was
sent into the game, and Bull Lowe,
former star of Lafayette, moved over
to the left side, while Cadell played
right tackle. A couple of plays at
Lowe convinced Maloney that there
were weaker points in the Maroon
line, and it was then that Cadell re-
ceived the same treatment that had
| been dealt out to Huggenvig.
| Georgetown had the more powerful
team 1t gained 31s yards in straight
rushing to eighty-one for Fordham.
| and made twelve first downs to four.
| The team played as a machine, and,
| cleaning up their forwards, dashed
| through to take care of the seconds
| aries. 1t was the play OF the line that
made the backfeld stand out. In Oil
roy the Southerners have q high
| grade man. He Is q swift, hard runs
! ner and a hard man to stop In an
open field. He has real mates in Ngc~
Quade and Maloney
