The Mohawks, hard put to find
opposition early in the season, had
their hands full in the closing
days. An outfit with a good record
behind IL, the hawks showed their
spirit by turning out every night
for scrimmage and skull practice.

Mohawks and Mercury and playing
several draw games. Cox, a form
err Mohawk, was the whole show
for the Georgetown club, he being
consistent punter, open-feld
runner. good line plunger and cap
able field general.
Several other teams showed to
good advantage during the season.
prominent among these being the
Truxtons. Brooklands, and Lang
dons. The Truxton Club, which
did not get started until long after
the others had got going, did not
lose a game in Washington. They
held the Knickerbockers to a score
less draw in a game in which they
outplayed the Knicks at every
angle. Poor officiating probably
cost the Truxtons the game as
twice they crossed the Knicker-
booker goal line. only to have the
ball brought back for alleged off,
side play by both teams.
Handicapped by a bad knee dur
ing most of the season. the per-
formances of Heard, at full for the
Truxtons, were noteworthy.
The Brookland and Langdon out
fits both turned in several neat
victories. One outfit which started
like a world-beater only to fall
by the wayside was the Quincy

successive victories.

lions, fast and furious all through
the season, found several claimants
