looked and acted like an Irishman,

booted the goal and there were the
orangemen with a seven-point lead.
That unexpected cuff behind the
ear by Lady Luck aroused the Hill
top men from their sumbers. They
looked at orange, but were seeing
red. Line plunges, end runs and for
ward passes brought two touch
downs in that same period. Before
the game had ended they had added
three more. Fordham's lighter
team, making a fine fight especially
in the later stages of the game,
never had a chance. Whatever sat

touchdown was not begrudged the
visitors.
MeQuade DIslOeates Arm.
Tempering the enthusiasm of the
Hilltoppers over the victory was the
news that Johnny McQuade, round
ing into the most brilliant form of
his career, suffered a dislocated arm
when thrown by a mass of Ford
ham tacklers in the third period
He was led from the field with his
arm dangling limp, and a cursory
examination led to the belief that
the bone had been fractured at the
elbow. 1t later developed that the
injury was dislocation.
Though a dislocation is serious
enough to cause gloom in the Blue
and Gray ranks just before the big
game with Georgia Tech, 1t has none
Of the tragic aspects Of a fracture.
Belief was expressed last night that
Mcouade would yet be able to face
the Golden Tornado, despite his in

football, II will be hard to keep

Hilltop offense. This is said with

work of his running mates The
famous Johnny now looks as great
as in the halcyon days of yore and,

make the Southern line forget all
about KIllinger Of Penn State.

Fordhsm Fights TO End.
Badly outpIayed in the first half.
Dordham's work improved much in
the final stages. In the third and
fourth periods they worried the
HiIItoppers with a flock of forward
passes, most of them to End
Woodward, who was a sure receiver.
Also they found holes in the
Georgetown line. Twice they car
ried the ball near the goal. but in
both cases II was intercepted, once
by Lowe and once by Leary.
The visitors made six first downs,
four of which came in the last half,
while the Hilltoppers had 16 to
their credit.
