Foster kicked both extra points.
Generally, Georgetown's defense and
"nense were superior to Bucknelrs 3
nut after the first period. whenever
The Hilltoppers had a real chance to
get somewhere, some one of them
"lpped and slipped badly Twice in
he fourth period, Georgetown was
deep in Bucknell territory At the
outset of the period an aerial attack
put the Hilltoppers on the Lewisburg
yard line. but they were hurled
back. Later they got to the 14-yard
line. only to have their ball carrier
tumble and lose the oval
Bucknell Rush Checked.
On the other hand, Buckneu was at
forgetown's goal only once in addi-
ton to the two times they success
fully crossed it. That was in the sec
ond period, when poor punt put the
LeWiSburS aggregation in possession
Of the ball within 16 yards of the
final chaikline. So stubborn was the
Georgetown defense, though, that
nothing could be done by the yellow
jerseyed team.
Both teams tried vainly to score
Via the kicking route. Plansky three
times essayed goals from field, drop
kicking from 40, 36 and 43 yard lines
Foster of Bucknell twice endeavored
to send drop-kicks soaring across the
bar. His effort from the 40-yard line
in the first period went out of the
nelo or play before it reached goal
while his boot from midfeld in the
third period was a dismal failure
Georgetown'S game was a SORROW
full exhibition of misspent energy.
The Hilltoppers recorded IL first
Downs TO made by BuckneIl vet
all these valiant efforts were offset
When the various field generals en-
ployed by the local varsity persisted
in shifting from an attack that had
gained consistently to an uncertain
style wherever scoring opportunities
presented themselves after the start
ing quarter.
Hilltop Players Star.
Most of Georgetown's gains were
due to good ball running by Hegarty
DeGassis and Plansky, and that Buck
nell was held to few gains was due
greatly to the presence of the size
able Connaughton in the Hilltop line
and to the efficient work of Brooks
and McGrath. while they were at the
tanks. Connaughton, who looked
none too we'll in the game against
the Marines, performed nobly yester-
day at right tackle.
The best of Bucknelrs forwards
probably was Magee at left end He
frequently frustrated Georgetown's
carefully planned offensive and was
IN practically every play before an
Injury to his head forced his retire
lnent late in the third period. Be
hlnd Bucknelfs line, Frank Wilsbach
and Bill Blaisdell distinguished them
selves to no little extent.
Georgetown quickly took ADVANTAGE
or Its first scoring opportunity. A
poor punt by Merle Goodwin gave it
the ball on BucknelPs 30-yard line
iate IN the opening period. Four line
olays Just brought a first down, then
iiesarty crashed through the right
side OF the Bucknell line to the z
ard mark. Two plunges by Plansky
5uff1ced to put the ball over, but
Hegarty could not kick that seventh
point.
Bueknen Goes Ahead.
After being repulsed about midway
pr the second period, BuckneII came
nack with vengeance during the
asst few minutes of the half Foster
Intercepted one of Cashman's passes
ana ran back a few yards before
beins downed on Georgetown's 43-
Yard line. Then two heaves, Foster
. to Tuck. were good for yards and
80 yards. Bill Blaisdell, given the
haH, snapped from the 3-yard line,
swept around Georgetown's right
wing to tying touchdown. Capt
Foster had the honor of bootfng the
rotnt that put Bucknell in the lead
About midway in the fourth period
. crossfeld punt by Plansky gave
bucknell another chance. Earl Good
win grabbed the ball at midteld and
sprinted to the 35-yard line Two
line plays were stopped, then Bill
,Blaisdell broke through the George
SoWn forward wall and was not halt
ed until he had reached the Hill
toppers' 4-yard line. That 31-yard
dash by his teammate so inspired
Anthony Wilsbach that he plunged
through the opposition to Buckneirs
second touchdown. Again Capt. Fos-
ter succeeded in his try for the extra
point.
