ed its foot ball season yesterday aft
ernoon on the Hilltop field with a vic
tory over the Labanon Valley eleven.
Gilroy. hero of numerous gridiron bat
ties, and McQuade proved to be the
stars of the contest, their brilliant
runs and splendid all-round work en-
abling the Blue and Gray to pile up
score of 3S points, while the team
as whole succeeded in almost white
washing the Pennsylvania eleven. The
score was 33 to 7.
In the last minute of play Keating
of Lebanon succeeded in carrying the
ball over the goal line for a touch
down. He then kicked n goal. the
total of Lebanon's scoring. Up until
that time Georgetown's defense was
practically impregnable, the efforts of
the. Pennsylvania men amounting to
naught when they endeavored to smash
through the stonewall defense of the
Hilltoppers.
1t did not take Georgetown long to
score at the outset, for after a little
more than five minutes had been played
