stripped for action should be within
easy call.
The football game between the Ford
ham and Georgetown elevens yester-
day afternoon at Fordham Field to
/ decide the championship among the
Catholic colleges of the East, proves
all the foregoing remarks most con
vincingly. 1t was a battle from the
opening whistle until the end, anc
while the main fracas was on there
were any number of private bouts be-
ing fought out in all parts Of the
gridiron.
Fordham emerged from the minia-
ture Battle of the Boyne the victor
by the score of IA to 0. 1t was the
first time the Maroon men have
triumphed over their Southern rivals
in nine years, and there was special
reason therefore for the Thanksgiving
celebration that the particular section
of The Bronx inhabited by the Ford
ham College lads put on last night.
Teams Evenly Matched
No two teams that have met on local
gridirons this season were more evenly
matched than the two that were in con-
flict yesterday. Neither eleven could
do any consistent gaining through
attacks on the line or swoops at the
ends.
The brilliant Frisch, who was count
ed upon by the Fordham rooters to
bring victory through his sensational
open field running. was bottled up like
submarine in the harbor of Zee
brugge. A fellow with such a Hunnsh
name had no place in this slugfest.
But still this same Frisch refused
to be squelched entirely. If he was
not to be allowed to run with the bali
he would show the Irish all about him
that he could at least throw the old
pigskin. And it was the clever hurting
of the forward pass by Frisch in the
second period 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 Maroon wingman,
grabbed the other toss behind the
Georgetown goal line. Frisch kicked
both goals.
The catch made by Garvey was the
more noteworthy as he took the ball in
true baseball fashion as it was sailing
over his head and then scooted forty
yards for the touchdown. Frisch
hurled this pass from his own 45-yard
line, so the total gain for the Maroon
amounted to some ifty-five yards.
Garvey also figured largely in the
second score for Fordham when he
snatched another pass later in the same
period and carried the ball to the
Georgetown 10-yard line, from which
mark Frisch threw again, this time to
Corsello, who was waiting for the ball
back of the goal posts.
The first period was opened by
Golden's kick-off to Flavin. who
brought the ball back ten wards. Two
smashes at the Fordham line failing to
gain, Flavin punted to F'risch who
caught the ball on the Maroon 45-yard
mark and returned eight yards. Ford
ham found it hard going and Frisch
puntcd on the third down to the
enemy's 30yard line After a couple
of vain rushes Flavin kicked low to
the Fordham 10-yard line. where
Corsello fumbled the ball and Reid
fell on it for Georgetown.
Fordham Holds Fast.
he mettle of the Fordham team was
made clear then when the local lads
yielded only five yards on four downs
and took the bail away from their on
ponents. frisch kicked out Of danger
from behind his own goal line, and the
period ended with the ball in George
towns possession on the Southerners
40-yard line
In the second quarter after series
OF futile attempts by Frisch to get
loose around the end the Fordham man
changed their tactics and after gettinc
the pail on punt on their AZ
yard mark the forward pass attack
,whlch was to gain the day was
launched.
The first pass of Frisch was long and
low and 1T seemed impossible that any
Maroon player would be able to get his
hands on the ball, let alone hold it #
But here is wherc Garvey rose to tho
occasion by stretching himself out an
extra loot OR SO to make the catch
Garvey was going along with consider
able speed when he made the grab
ana he kept right on until he had
plahted the ball over the line.

Truman once more resorted to the
open game, and again it was Fr,sch
and Garvcy who upset the calculations
OF the Southerners. Frisch shot q
pass over toward the side line. whicb
Garvey nabbed gracefully, and he ionr-
neyed along as far as the 1O-vard lino
where he was dropped bv Cusack
hardly had the teams lined up again
before Frisch let go once moro and
Corsallo got under the ball back of The
goal line. '''e
Some Hard Playing
The third period was a seesaw af-
lar, with much hard playing on the
part of both teams, but neither was
able to put over the final punch neces-
sary Tor a score Toward the end of
the quarter Georgetown worked the
ball down to the Fordham 5-vard
mark, but was helpless when it came
to negotiating the remaining distance
to the goal line.
The fourth period was characterized
by decided brace on the part of the
Georgetown team, which seemingly
had received a goodly bit of it's inspi-
iatlon from the entrance into the game
OF Dunnellen, who su u,ceeded Hamp-
ston at quarterback. This Dunnellen
starred in running back kicks and on
three different occasions shot off
tackle tor fair gains. The Southcrners
brought the ball to Fordham's l5-vard
line just before the game ended but
were unable to push back the fighting
4 Maroons any further.
