Catholic University triumph, with
Capt. Ray Foley closing his college
career In blaze of glory. The
Brookland quarterback directed his
team cIeverly. He passed the ball
accurately. He ran IT. swiftly. He
was a demon on defense, especially
against the George Washington
passes.
Gene Murphy, Catholic Univer-
sity's halfback, intercepted Henry
Sapp's pass and raced 81 yards for
a touchdown, threading his way
through his opponents in brilliant
fashion. That was in the second
period.
On the opening kickoff In the
third period Emery Clapper
seized the leather on his own
5.yard line and ran IS yards for
q touchdown. He tore down the
side line until he had passed
mldfield when he cut across to
the goal line. Clapper simply
Outran everybody ON the field.
George Washington opened with a
rush and seemed on its way to
touchdown until Murphy intercepted
a pass on his own 35.yard line. Then
the tide changed and, with Foley
and Murphy doing most of the work,
Catholic University Travelled right up
the field. The going became hard,
however, and Foley punted over the
goal line. Shortly after the first
break went against the Colonials.
Sapp, who played a fine game for
tie Colonials. fumbled a pass from
Lopeman, and Malevich recovered it
for Catholic University on George
Washington 24.yard line. Imme-
diately Foley skipped around the
tackle and was over the line for a
touchdown.
The Colonials then began a furious
attack that carried the ball to mid
field before the period ended. Early
in the second quarter George Wash
ington pounded its way to the IA
yard line and seemed certain to
score. Again came a break against
the downtown boys. Murphy in
tercepted one Of Sapp's passes and
was off on his gallop of 81 yards
for another touchdown.
Up and down the gridirOn the
tide Of battle surged until Perry
recovered a Catholic University
tumble on the BrOOkla nders' 35-
yard line. Sapp races around the
end to the 1O-yard line and then
Stehman and LOpeman pounded
their way through the middle Of
the line for touchdown.
Clapper's great run opened the
second half. the Colonial back gath.
ering in Tierney's kickoff and racing
IS yards. That left the downtown
eleven but one point in the rear.
However, the Cardinals quickly
opened up an aerial attack that
swept the Colonials aside. Again
a break aided c. U.
Clapper batted Murphy's forward
pass out Of Longs reach but Foley
was right there and the ball sailed
into his arms. It was ridiculously
simply for him to score the touch
down.
G. w. did not lose heart. The
downtown eleven began another
attack that brought the bail to
midfield where . tumble found
c. u. man on the ball. Then
came some punts which left C.
u. in possession of the leather
at midfieId. Blng, bang, darts
off tackle and passes came in
rapid succession and C. u. was
on its rivals 2.yard line when
the period ended.
On the first play Of the final
quarter Murphy hoped through the
line for a touchdown. Then G. w.
started up the field and was ap.
parently headed for a touchdown
when Foley intercepted a pass on
his own 12-yard line. Walker broke
through and blocked Foley's attempt
at punt, the C. u. captain re.
covering the bali behind his goal
line for a safety.
Clapper brought the ball back
when play was resumed and then
a 40.yard pass from Sapp to Carey
put 1t on the c. u. 22-yard line,
Stehman pounded the line until he
plunged over for touchdown. That
ended the scoring for the day,
though C. U. was on the G. w.
2-yard line when the final whistle
sounded.
