tually rOmped TO 24-to--
victory before crowd of ID
600 in the foot ball game yes
terdav at Clark Griffith stadium. The
Hjlltoppers outrushed, outpaSsed and
outkicked the E,astonians and gem
orally outwitted them at every turn.
Outstanding in the Georgetown Of
fensive were Bob Nork, George NC
Cahe, John Hudac and John Toma-
ini At toting~ the oval, Nork and
Fudac were easily the best on the
field, their sharp thrusts through the
line and slides off tackles picking up
much yardage for the Hilltoppers.
McCahe and Tomaini specialized in
aerial play in offensive and rarely
left anything to he desired in this
department. Hudac also was power
in defense, but by far the most stall
wart of the Hilltoppers in action was
Capt. Claude Grigsby. His rowing
center play took the heart out of
The Lafayette attack SO often that
the Eastonians at last gave up all
hope of getting anywhere with a
running offensive.
Georgetowns forward wall showed
marked superiority over the Lafayette
r,lshline. Although the visitors bulked
hugely, they lacked the drive and all
around ability of the trim Hilltop
most of the time. Neither the La
favette line nor secondary seemed able
10 cope consistently with GeorGetown's s
finely screened running attack, and
the forward passing of the Blue and
Gray had the visitors guessing at
most stages OF the game. On the
other hand, Georgetown rather handi-
" gauged the Lafayette ground play
and in the second half showed no
4lA snl r1ln af hn
opposition.
Lafayette had on the field in Chi
rnanti, Shellenberger and O'Reilly a
fine trio of backs, but they had little
chance to reveal their real worth
against the alert and agile Hilltop
pers In the line, Cothran, a huge
hut active tackle, played impressively
enough at times to make the specta-
tors realize why he was regarded As
Of all-America caIiber last season. but
he could not play all the Georgetown
line and was soon smothered.
Georgetown Scores Early.
Georgetown began its scoring in the
first quarter when a forward pass,
Tudac to Tomaini, netted 40 yards
and a touchdown. Lafayette picked
