ANNAPOLIS, Md. November s.
Beaten baGh under its own goal posts
by the powerful attack of the Navy
and compelled to struggle desperately
twice in the first period to stave oil
touchdowns. Georgeto towns foot ball team
today fought its way in the fourth
period to an advantage which gave ii
opportunities to kick two field goals
and defeat the Midshipmen by s to O.
The vicious line attack of the Sailors
was effective. but not sufficiently SO
TO overcome the remarkable prove SIS
OF Capt. McQuade. Georgetownts star
halfbaCk in that march he staged al
most unaided down the field to the
Nays 5-yard line and the field goals
which resulted from Maloney'S accu-
rate kicking.
But OF the players, more anon.
Georgetown won from the Navy mainly
BECAUSE Coach t.Xentiine took advantage
OF the weakness of Dobie's defense, and
had Maloncy used the weapon in the
fiTft half which EXendine had prepared
for him the score would have been
larger.
Navy's Defense Too Compact.
The Navy. under Dobie. uses a defense
such as is prevalent in the northwest,
bun which is not sufficiently elastic to
protect It's territory against quick kicks
just behind the liue OF srrimmaee. 1t
was this play which spelled the un-
doing OF the Navy. The Sailors sec
oIdary defense was too compact and
when Maloney and McQuade punted
drem that close formation the ball usual

Navy began to make mistakes. 1t

IN It's own territory ran the ball on
Fourth down instead of kicking. 1t
GOT away with me gain that time but
IN. attempting to make the next first
down in the same way was held. The
Dali went over TO Geor setown at
Nays 4S-yard line instead of being
punted We'll down into Georgetown's S
territory.
And when the two teams lined up,
with the bah in Georgelown-s pos
session. the Blue and Gray made the
same Kind OF a biunder. 1t failed TO

trying to boot the ball out of bounds
somewhere around the 10-yard line.
THE forward PASS was grounded and
Navy got the ball.
That mistake came near being
Georgetown's undoirG. because right
then the Midshipmen began a march
toward Georgetown goal. which
wAs not interrupted until it had
reached the 7-yard line. With the
bali practically under the Blue and
Gray posts. the Navy forward passed
the goal line for a touchback, the
pass being incompleted. Georgetown

line. was held and punted. Navy. re-
ceived the Kick and again started to-
ward the Blue and Gray goal line.
Again it got within striking distance
and had another incompleted pass
across the last half mark for touch
back.
That was about the last real oppor-
tunity the Navy had for touchdown
The second quarter was evenly tougft
and the end of the half found the ball
IN the middle of the field.

the second half ii was evident that
Georgetown had been given dehnlte
instructions to kick more. Anyway,
it used the kicking game more IRE
Quently. and surely il began TO put
the Navy at disadvantage. Time
after time the long. low kicks went
over the close-playing Navy's sec
ondary defense and rolled deep down
into Navy territory. from where the
Navy was compelled to waste its en-
ergy in attempts to drive the ball
back to the middle of the field.

Navy was compelled to bick from its

latter got the ball.

drives into the Navy's line. Time
after time the brilliant Blue and Gray
back literally hurled himself at the
opposing line and tore his way
yards by main strength and indi-
yiduai cleverness. 1t seemed that
each plunge into the line would end
the ground gaining because the
strain of such advancing of the ball
is greater than any man can con-
sistently bear. But not so with NC.
