who were about equally divided in
their allegiance to the rival elevens
Each side had its band and there was
roofing galore. although the adher-
ents of the Hilltoppers were offered
more incentive to use their lung
power.
Washington and Lee was the IA

G. q. Scores Quickly.
Georgetown got a touchdown in four
minutes of play, put another over
about the middle Of the second period
and added one in each of the third
and final quarters. From these Ma
1oney kicked three of the goals, miss

drives, Georgetown was within Wash

two occasions. His initial attempt
came in the first two minutes of play,

Flavin in Limelight.
Jack Flavin. who had appeared pre-
viously only in a substitute role, was
the Blue and Gray hero. and just
about the difference between the Blue
and Gray team and the Virginians. 1t

played with a power that it has not
shown before this season and gave
the backs nice openings through
which to drive. but it was Flavlns
headv and powerful running that en-
abied the Hilltoppers to win so de-
cisively. He made four runs of more
than c5 yards and was the man called
