ICTUN1 by three successive de-
y feats. Georgetown's fighting
Irish rose to dizzy heights
yesterday at American League Park
and administered a crushing blow
TO the foot ball team OF Bucknell.
With their makeshift team working
like a combination that long had
played together, the Hilltoppers got
their bearings after the first period
was through and before the final
whistle sounded they had trampled
over the Lewisburg aggregation to
a 19-to-7 victory. 1t was a signal
triumph for Georgetown. for the
bucknell eleven entered the fray
an Overwhelmingly favorite and
even Georgetowns most ardent ad-
mirers would have considered hold

Fate Against Visitors.
From then on Buckuell always was

had rushed 30 yards to Georgetown's
3-yard line. Denton. who had just
been sent in to replace Hall. was
called upon to carr the ball. He

Malley. was Johnny ION the spot. He
grabbed the free ball and went on to
make foot ball history for George
town.
This misfortune did not affect
Bucknell materially, for four times

ly by penalization. Five off-side
plays were charged against it and
there were four penalties of Is yards
each inflicted upon it. Bucknell had
but Is yards taken from it. two or
its. three penalties being for off-side
play. Each team twice lost the ball
through fumbling. but Georgetown's
pair of mistakes were not especially
costly.
The Hilltoppers played with a vim
md dash more like their teams of
former years. They followed the ball
closely and were unusually effective
in their tackling, feature of foot
ball that had been missing in their
earlier engagements. From tackle
to tackle the line charged vigorously
and concertedly. The bacl:field ran
it's plays in. determined manner
and the ends proved themselvei
especially capable. Perhaps the most
pleasing feature to Georgetowns
coaches, however. was the admirable
manner in which the attack of the
Hilltop eleven was directed.
There were several individuals who
took care of their jobs in a note
worthy style. Eddie Smell at left
end Carl Wirts at center and Capt.
Comstock at left tackle made them
selves conspicuous by their clever
tackiing and fine offensive play for
Georgetown. Du Four punted well.
and Lowe. at halfback proved a hard
player to stop. Flavin, too. added to
his Iaurels while in the fray.
Bucknell had five players of whom
1t might we'll be proud Dayhoff.
Foster and Henning did about every
thing possible to bring victory TO
to carry the ball. Henning generally
made good. while Foster ran back
punts brilliantly. and Dayhon was a
consistent line smasher. Julian at
left end. and Edgar, big right
tackle. were active always. Buckneli
brought a. mighty capable team here,
but Georgetown yesterday was just
anything It faced.
