downfall of the Georgetown
eleven on Farragut Field, at
Annapolis, by margin of three
touchdowns and resultant goals,
the score being % to !. The out
come just about shows the diff
ference in strength of the two
teams, as demonstrated yester-
day, although Navy really earned
five touchdowns, tumble by In
gram after he had crossed
Georgetown's goal line with the
ball near the end of the final
quarter depriving the Midship-
men OF an additional six or seven
points.
The game was regarded as the
first real test Navy has had aside
from the West Virginia contest,
which it lost, 7 to 0, and adherents
OF the local institution, who turn
ed out some 500 strong to pit
their lungs against those of sew
eral thousand middies and their
supporters, were hopeful that the
Hilltoppers would be able to hold
Navy to a close score, with the
more optimistic secretly vision
ing a victory; but the masterful
manner in which the Middies
plowed through their opponents
from the outset dissipated all
thoughts of a triumph for the
visitors and confined speculation
to whether Georgetown would be
able to score.
4As it developed, it was not until the
middle of the fourth period that the
collegians crossed the Navy goal line,
but the manner in which it was accom-
furnished by far the most spectacular
play of the contest The period opened
with the BAH in Nays possession on
ITS 35-yard line. Ingram hit Center
for a first down, but he and Roberts
and Martin gained oniy yards be-
tween them on successive plunges, and
Roberts kicked to Maloney. McQuade

to plant the ball sQuarely behind the

This was the only period the Navy

For Georgetown Gilroy and whelan
earned plaudits by the manner in
which they engineered the forward
pass that gave Coach Exendine's squad
its points. McQuade demonstrated
great offensive power and Wall proved
the Wall of old in breaking through
the line on defensive plays.
An ANALYSIS Of the scoring shows that
Navy made a total Of twenty-one first
downs. as against five for Georgetown.
OF Navy's three attempts at forward
passing one succeeded and netted five
maneuvers. three being incompleted
and the other being very much OF a
success. Roberts and Ingram got con-
siderably more distance out of their

Considering the fact that Georgetown
tackled the Middies after they had sue
cessively walloped Maryland State. Car
Isle Indians, Haverford and Western
Reserve by the overwhelming scores
of 81. 81, SO and 95. respectively. the
Hilltoppers may be regarded as having
made a creditable showing against the
great machine Gilmour Dobie has mold
ed at the Naval Academy.
