Dinan Field here today
aerialed to two touchdowns in the
fourth quarter, and trounced the
TitaEs. 10 IT, 0.
GeorgetoWn'S victory was expected,
but the smallness of the total was the
big surprise.
Before the kickoff neutral patrons
expected to see Georgetown win by 40
points or more. But Detroit played
inspired foot ball, waged a gallant
struggle and took some of the honors.
Its defense at time was mountain
20 Georgetown. BaChOr and Flannery,
star linemen, spoiled several plays be
hind the line and the Green ends,
Goodnow and Martin, new to the po-
S.tionS. because of transfers, played
surprising foot ball.
Georgetown, by all odds, was the
superior eleven. There was no vestige
of misgiving in the minds of those
who saw the Blue and Gray perform.
Yet the Detroiters, who had nothing
hut high courage and the tradition
that Detroit plays its best against
odds, refused to be aWed of George
towns power. and Waged gallant
rattle to the end.
JanOSky ran 42 yards after re-
reivinG GeOrSetoWn's last kick off and
was hauled down from the rear when
dying gesture, magnificent, but futile,
as the game ended one play later.
Detroit Threatens Only Once.
Detroit's nearest approach to a
score came in the second period when
the Titans, using Maniere and Con-
nell on off-tacllle plays, together with
short forward or lateral passes,
worked to the Georgetown 18-yard line
before losing the ball on downs.
punts were traded back and forth
during the first period after each
team found the others defense too
stout for consistent advances. George
town had the best of the skirmish,
but did not crush Detroit from the
Kickoff as the 5000 patrons expected.
Georgetown, however. warmed to
its work as the second period be-
gan and gained possession by a punt
on It's 4S-yard line. Mixing passes
with hidden ball plays. Georgetown
bore down field without a stop. One
pass Nork to McGrath, placed George
town on the Detroit 15-yard line. After
one rush went gainless, Thompson
luggcd the ball behind the Giant Con-
naughton for IA yards. Nork bored
through center for touchdown and
Thompson kicked goal
