Blocked Kick Prevents Tie.
Then canre another play almost as
thrilling as Flavin's long dash. Need
ing but one point to match the count
achieved by the Devil Dogs in the
first period. Flavin fell back to essay
a goal by drop-kick. With the pass.
Right Tackle Beckett, former Oregon
all-American star. crashed through
ward progress of the ball just after
it had left the kicker's foot. This re-
verse all but crushed the GeorgetoWn n
hope for victory.
A tumble by Kenyon paved the way
for the Marine touchdown i'll the first

before their fullback let the ball slip

25 Yards before being downed on George
towns 3o-yard line. Plunges by Goettge
and Palmer brought first down on the
13-yard line and on the next play san
derson broke through right guard 10 the
e-yard line. Here Goettge was gwen
the ball and he crashed past sullivan
to the Georgetown goal. Palmer
easily negotiated a place kick after
touchdown.
The Marines final scoring was done
in the last half minute of the game
immediately after Georgetown had
sent in a second-string team. Deep
in his own territory, Des Lauriers
made a poor pass to Armstrong and
the bail went rolling across the HILL
top goal. Quarterback Adams dashed
back to rescue the pigskin, but he was
tackled and downed by Liversedge,
the Marines giant left tackle, for
safety.
G. Z. Loses Opportunities.
Four times before getting its lone
touchdown had the Georgetown team
deeply invaded the Marines field.
Starting from their 45-yard line late
in the first period, running attack
with Kenyon and Lowe doing most of
the ball-carrying. put the Hiiltoppers
on the Marines 11-yard line just as
the period ended. At the start Of the
second quarter Kenyon stepped back
to the o0-yard line and missed field
goal by dropkick.
About midway of the second period
a penalty against the Marines and a
neat end run by Flavin left George
town with the ball Oh the Marines

came quito active and play was ad-
vanced to within IL yards of the
coveted goal. Then the Marines
braced and Georgetown line plays

Undaunted, Georgetown soon began
another determined attack. Getting
the ball on its 35-yard line, the Hill
top team began an aerial "ffsnS''e.

Then a well-executed pass. Flavin to

rines' 20-yard line just as half time
sounded.
Fumble Ends G. u. Attack.
Late in the third period George
town threatened after Florence had
rines' S4-yard line. A forward pass,
Flavin to Florence, was good for 10
yards. Two unsuccessful heaves fol-
lowed, then Kenyon was given the
ball for slam at the line. He broke
through the Qnantico forwards, but
when tackled vigorously by Palmer
lost the ball and it was grabbed by
Goettge.
Although neither team asked nor
gave quarter, the game was cleanly
conducted. AS q natural result of
extremely aggressive tactics. there
were numerous penalties. Tho Ma
rines suffered considerably in that
respect. Their rule infractions cost
them close to a hundred yards.
Georgetown was punished to the eX-
tent of more than thirty.
Several PLAYERS made their pres
ence on the field especially noticeable
by their excellent performances. In
Geottge. former University of Ohio
player. the Marines presented a re-
markable plunging back. He was
used repeatedly for drives against
the Hilltop line and generally made
fully. too. Palmer also gained con-
sistently for the Quantico outfit and
was tower of strength defensively.
Liversedge and Beckett, Marine tao
kles. played brilliantly. Larsen, all
American center with Navy last year.
was consistently good, but did not
perform as spectacularly as expected.
Hilltop Men Do Well.
Lowe, Kenyon and Florence were

The first two named were formidable
in attack and sturdy defensively.
Their line drives and sweeping end
dashes got much yardage for the
Htlltoppers. Florence. sent in after
the start of the fray. never made a
mistake In defense. He spilled play
after play directed at his position
and frequently crossed to the oppo-
site side to stem Marine attacks.
Butler. on the other flank, also gave
a good account of himself. George
towns line from tackle to tackle was
sluggish.
Many of Georgetown's gains by run
ming back were offset by miserable
fumbling. This fault cropped out all
through the game and was especially
prevalent in the third period. Much
credit Is due the Marines for their
alacrity. They took advantage of
all but two of the Georgetown muffs.

they conducted admirably. They
