When NAP" Ward really got

hard and was well-night unstoppabie.

through Weather that made possible
that first touchdown. his ability 10

TO keep that youngster out or the
varsity lineup hereafter.
The brightest individual star,
however, was Jack Flagin. That
young man flashed to the front as

Of the line. and a truly vicioI5 de-
fensive back. Without taking a sin
gle thing away from any OF the
others. 1t may be said that FlaVin
was the best player on the field.

WESLEYAN Is NEXT.
West Virginia Wesleyan is George
town's next opponent. The Buckhan-
non brigade may be relied upon to
test thoroughly Georgetown's defense
against the aerial game, for Wesleyan
depends largely upon that method OF
advancing the ball. There wasn't
much shown by State Saturday, so
Georgetown's defense remains mys-
terry. .......
The Immediate outlook for the Hill
toppers is right good. They should
win from Wesleyan Saturday and
Fordham at New York q week later.
while they should ride roughshod
over Johns Hopkins in Baltimore on
October 80. Thereafter. though, will
come their troubles.
The Middies must be faced at An
napolis on November 9, followed by
Georgia Tech at Atlanta on November
13 Washington and Lee here on No
vember 20, and the powerful Boston
College veterans at Boston on N6vem
ber 81. November will provide a
wicked test of the Georgetown re.

saying that some of the lads must be
injured during that long march to
Thanksgiving.
Fordham. starting with a 71-to-0
victory over the New York Aggies.
was hit in the tummy by Boston Col
lege Saturday, losing by 20 to 0. The
Bronx eleven rather failed to reach
expectations, it's line being outplayed
from start to finish. Boston College,
on the other hand. with Ave weeks
training, was a woodworking ma
chine that had little trouble in win
ming.
STATE FACES ANOTHER
II North Carolina State faced a
tough foe last Saturday, It surely
faces another next Saturday when 1.
goes up against Penn State, which de-
feated Dartmouth last week. The Ra-
leigh boys will do well to escape
having some of their best men laid
up this time next Sunday.
Boston College used the Fordham
game as test for the greater clash
with Yale next Saturday. The Ellis
are still smarting from the defeat
handed them by Cavanaugh's team,
last fall and admittedly will be out
for blood.
