Georgetown received the opening
kickoff, and after making a first

the end for thirty-seven yards to the
Generals 5-yard line. In two plays,
when a touchdown seemed certain,
there came a tumble on the goal line
and a -touchback. with the Generals
scrimmaging from their own 2O-yard
line.
Failing to gain, Silverstein punted
to midfield. where Leighty muffed the
ball and the Generals had II. A
plunge into the line got nothing and a
forward pass was incompleted, bVt
yards to Bemis, who took the ball an
other twenty-five yards for the Cen
erals first touchdown.
After the kickoff the Generals
sought to carry the ball. They did
get a first down, but fumble lost

goal line. As Silverstein had failed to
kick his goal from touchdown. Bill
Kenyon put the Blue and Gray ahead
by booting the ball over the crossbar.
Georgetown had the ball on it's own
30-yard line when the second period
got under way, but quickly punted.
The Generals, too. found the rushing
a strenuous sport and punted in re-
turn. But, beginning at their own
S5-yard line the Generals plowed
through the Hilltoppers for a first
down before forward passing to 25-
yard line.
Silverstein fell back and kicked a
field goal from the 3S-yard line. It

well within its own territory.
The Hilltoppers opened up fairly
strong in the third period, but the
ball zigzagged between the two 30

was intercepted and carried back to
the Hilltoppers' 40-yard line. A Is

Generals the ball on Georgetown 5

Georgetown pounded its way down
the field for three first downs in a
row until it lost the ball on downs
at the Generals 20-yard line. The ball
was almost continually in the Vir-
ginians' territory, but never nearer
than the 20-yard line. The Hilltop
pers lacked the punch to put it over
by rushing. and their forward passes
fell to the ground uncompleted or
were intercepted.
As a spectacle it was a poor game.
There was little open work and con-
siderable old-fashioned line-bucking,
especially when Georgetown had The
ball. .
1t was clean game and no play
ers were hurt, though one or two were
taken from the lineup lest old wounds
be made worse. This was true Of the
Generals rather than the Hilltoppcrs.
