pected defeat at National Park yes
terday when Holy Cross won the
annual meeting by 10 to o.
1t marked the second setback for
the university machine on success
sive Saturdays. A week before the
Marines brought a surprisingly
strong outfit up from Quantico and
caught Georgetown before 1t had
completely recovered from its Bit
ter contest with Fordham at New
York. Yesterday the Blue and Gray
took the field realizing 1t would
have to fight to the utmost. but con-
fident of its latent powers to repeat
the victory that was scored over
Holy Cross a year ago at Worces-
ter.
But GeorgetSwn's need yesterday
was a defeat that narrowly escaped
being converted into a rout- In
the first quarter Holy Cross was
slightly stronger. in the second pc
riod the balance was heavier on the
side of the Massachusetts team.
After the long intermission a goal
from the field was obtained, but in
the final division of the game. not
only was a touchdown counted. but
another was missed by less than a
yard and time was up when Holy
Cross had gotten the ball so near
the goal that further additions to its
total seemed imminent

The outstanding feat among the
things Georgetown did well was
heroic stand one yard from the goal
in the last period. Holy Cross
had slashed its way to a stride of
the line. but when the real test
came Georgetown was adamant and
took the ball after declining to re-
treat an inch against three savage
smashes.
