HILLTOP TRIBE FORCED TO
DOFF TO FORDHAM ELEVEN
Bronx Collegians Take
Hard-fought Battle from
Hilltoppers by l4-to-O
Count.

New York, Nov. 2s.-The football
game between the Fordham and
Georgetown elevens this afternoon at
the Bronx Field to decide the cham
pionship among the Catholic colleges
of the East, proved a battle from the
opening whistle until the end, and
while the main fracas was on, there
were any number of private bouts
being staged in all parts Of the grid
iron
FoFdham emerged the victor by the
score of II to O. 1t was the first time
the Maroon men have triumphed over
their Southern rivals in nine years,
and there was special reason. there
fore, for the Thanksgiving celebration
that the particular section of the
Bronx inhabited by the Fordham Col
lege lads put on last night.
No two teams that have met on local
gridirons this season were more even
ly matched than the two that were in
/ conflict today. Neither eleven could
do any consistent gaining through at
/ tacks on the line or swoops at the
ends. The brilliant Frisch. who was
counted upon by the Fordham rooters
/ to bring victory through his sensa-
/ tional open-ffeld running. was bottled
up like a submarine in the harbor of
Zeebrugge.
But still this same Frisch refused to
! be squelched entirely II he was not
to be allowed to run with the ball he
could, at least, throw the old pigskin.
And II was the clever hurling of the
forward pass by Frisch that gave
Fordham its two touchdowns. In the
, scoring of the first, Garvey, the lanky
Maroon left end. was on the receiving
! end. while COrsello, the other wing
man. grabbed the second toss behind
/ the Georgetown goal line for a score
In the second quarter. after a series
Of futile attempts by Frisch to get

! men changed their tactics and, after
getting the ball on a punt on their
45-yard mark. 'the forward pass at

was long and low and it seemed i'm

would be able to get his hands on the

: where Garvey rose to the occasion by
stretching himself out an extra foot

After Georgetown had kicked on
FOrdham once more resortcd to the
open game and again it was Frisch
and Garvey who upset the calcula-
, tons of the Southerners. Frisch shot
a pass toward the side line which
Garvey nabbed gracefully and hs
