The Washington herald., 1922-11-20

The Southeast may be down In
the dumps today but Il has no
cause to bemoan the loss OF the
game. II ever a team was denied
its rightful victory Il was the
Southern eleven. The Hawks for
all their past victories were contin-,
ually stumbling against what=ap-
peared 70 be inevitable defeat
That the Hawks won IL largely
due to Josh Licarione, sometime
Navy Yard Rex and vigilant full
back. Licarione may not be: a
great ground gamer. He is fire.
ouently guilty Of fumbling. In
the South Atlantic section. and
this includes college elevens. IL is
doubtful IL any defensive fullback
I is playing today who is the equal
Of Licarione.
FUMBLES WERE COSTLY.
Fumbles played a large part In
the defeat Of the Southern lads.
They bobbled early in the game
and on the l2-ysrd line when Willie
Snow muffed q punt. This cost
the field goal They bobbled again
in the first period after they
started what appeared to be a
victorious march from their own
2S-yard line TO the Hawks 35-yard
line after four continuous first
downs made.
In the main the Hawks can owe
their victory to the toe Of Irving
Deakins. who was literally carried
from the game in the final period
after he was played out. The
Hawks can thank Paul Cox for his
long and well placed punt which put
the ball out of danger in many in
stances But most Of all they must
thank the redoubtable John Lica-
rione.
| On the brink Of the goal fine
when the Southern boys had worked
the ball to the s-yard line and a
five-yard penalty had given them
their chance, IL was Josh who did
all the playing.
With the ball on the l-yard nne
and two more downs coming, Lica-
rione proved the mighty factor that
STAYED off what looked like a GER
tain touchdown. Twice he hailed
Murray Snow on the LIZARD line
and the ball was surrendered 20 the
Hawks. Watt booting IL to the 81
yard line.
