quarter through legitimate means,
and once that counter was recorded
the College Park boys seemed con-
tent to sit back and make Hopkins
do it.
In the third quarter neither team
did anything. Then in the fourth
quarter Hopkins cleverly mixed
passes and runs and walked straight
down the field The first drive
was halted on the 5-yard line when
Mike Stevens intercepted the heave.

HILLTOP SHOWS
ALL ROUND
GLASS
Georgetown at Last Uses For-
ward Pass Effectively,
Beating Marines
BY r. D. THOMAS

Unless a post-season game is ar
ranged, the Georgetown University
football players have finished their
work for the season and In the
three months campaign just ended
by their 16-to-0 victory over the
Quantico Marines. they have proved
their ability to do everything that
a first class team is supposed to do.
It was not until their final con-
test that they showed top notch
forward passing ability, and In this
they surprised the Devil Dogs who
doubtlessly had in mind that against
Fordham. the powerful eleven
beaten by Georgetown, "a to 0, the
Blue and Gray used only one for.
ward pass.
Georgetown's line has been 50
strong and its backs so fleet that
until the Marine game 1t didn't need
the air style of play. But when
at last it was necessary asset,
the Hilltoppers revealed skill.
In passing Judgment on Tony
Plansky as an all-American pros
pect the football experts OF New
York declared that his versatility
was splendid to behold and some
expressed desire to see what he
could do In the way Of throwing
passes.
This browning achievement was
saved for Tony until the last game,

that the world ever has seen. Jack
Johnson was gone the afternoon
in Havana that willard beat him
and it really wasn't a fair test of
skill.
There were at least a. half dozen
men in the country at that time
that could have given Johnson a
merry game and perchance a lick
ing, but it was the lucky Kansas
fellow who got the chance, almost
by the toss of a coin.
Yet small man licked Willard
and licked him so thoroughly that
he has stayed licked for a long
time. In between times there were
Tommy Burns and Marvin Hart,
poor champions, the former weigh
ing about $50 and the Louisville de-
tective scaling in about 190
And now we have one of the
hghtest men of all them sitting in
the saddle. Jack Dempsey doesn't
weigh an ounce over 1856, if he goes
that high, and really is one of the
smallest Of our champions, with the
single exception OF Fitzsimmons.
So 1t really doesn't matter whether
we ever have another Jess Willard
Or not. Big men of little merit are
not needed in the fighting game.

At the rushing game, the Ratchet

practically rambled at will through

George Washington proved it,
most dependable man to be Clapper,
who played a half and started
dozens of long passes which were
wasted because there was none to
receive them. Clapper was pro

lengthy passers developed on local
