BY JACK NYE.

Setting an early hlgh-Score marx
for other teams to shoot at, George
towns gridiron men inaugurated the
season yesterday at the American
League Park, by smothering the
Light St. Johns eleven of Annapolis
by the somewhat staggering count
of so to 0.
These figures are large enough to
satisfy TIE most enthusiastic fol-
lowers of the Blue and Gray. but
hardly indicate the margin of su-
periority held by EXendine's men.
More than four teams were used
by the Hllltoppers from start to
finish, a total of 46 men being in
jected into the melee before the
final whistle blew. At the begin
ming of the fourth period eleven
fresh men trOtted out in a body.
Twelve Touchdowns Made.
Georgetown's total was amassed
by the means of twelve touchdowns
and eight goals after tOuchdowns.
II was one steady drive up and down
the field. Only once were the Hill
toppcrs held for downs and that
was in the last period. The visitors
made but one first down, a twenty
yard dash off tackle by Halfback
kirkpatrick. and were generally
messed up before they reached the
line of scrimmage. Several times
the Hilltoppers broke through and
smeared their punts. converting one
of these blocked kicks into a touch
down.
Though the Orange and Black
Cadets battled strenuously against
the overwhelming odds they were
unable to stop the feet Georgetown
backs, who broke away for long
gains repeatedly. Flavin and NAL
ley the two flashes who are expected
to pile up many points for the team
this year, swept the ends in re-
markabIe style, the former staging
the most spectacular gain of the
day when he sQuirmed through a
broken field for thirty-seven yards
and a touchdown; Malley scored
three touchdowns and Flavin two.
They played only about half the
game. giving way to some of the
substitute material.

attack a trial and found it a me-

converted ii into touchdown after
n beautiful run. In nine attempts
with the forward pass the Hilltop
pers made five of them successful.
Though the opposition was not
strong enough to give them a real
test, the Hilltoppers give promise of
having another dashing attack this
year. The backfield men displayed
world of speed and the same
screen of interference that has
marked Exendine's teams in the
past was in evidence.
subs Show Up Well.
Among the substitutes Ward at

Quarter and Formosa at end did
splendid work. the last named youth

tation as receiver of forward
passes.
Hard and accurate tackling fea-
tured the work of the Cadets, but
they found it necessary to take out
time repeatedly because Of injuries.
