BY JOHN b. KELLER.

" ntOWe0 ana pdSSSu It's way
TO 25.to-0 victory over
the West Virginia University gridiron-
ers yesterday in Clark Griffith Stadium
before crowd of 10000, thereby
nyenging a defeat handed it last sea-
son by the same aggregation.
This Nork, who never had per-
formed here in such fiashy manner
before. was the spearhead of the Hill
tonners' offensive virtually all the time
he was on the field. He carried the
hall repeatedly and finally toted 1t
across the goal in 56-yard scoring
advance Georgetown made early In the
first period and before the perlol
ended caught a pass and went over
tn another touchdown. In the third
quarter. he circled the West Virginia
left flank for a 12-yard sprint across
the final chalkline and in the first pay
of the fourth period lunged through
fhe Monutaineers' forward wall and
stepped yards to the last score OF
the fray.
: offensive, so Albert Glenn, rangy half.
back, attempted to do for the west
Virginia eleven. In fact, Glenn as
suned practically the entire attack for
his team. He not only carried the bah
the majority OF times in running
nlays. but also did all the heaving OF
forward passes and all the punting for
fhe Mountaineers. But Glenn had to
do his battling almost single-handed,
for he had in front of him no line
that could compare with the collection
! 81 forwards Georgetown put on
the field.
Hilltop Line Strong.
As the game was played, it seemed
s,ayeraiiy a duel between Nork ana
Albert Glenn, or Little Sleepy" as the
iaffer. is called to distinguish him from
HIS quarterback brother Marshall, who
is known as big Sleepy" and lines as
different as day from night. For
seasons, the Hilltop walled because
of q lack of forward wall material,
but itscertainly had fine rushiine on
the sridiron yesterday. IL charged as
one man. seemingly never made a ms
tatra when ON defense and extensively
opened great gaps for the Hilltop pig

wav easy for its ball runners and lat
M time got the jump on the opposing
forwards. 1t was particularly weak on
the left side and 1t was through and
around that flank that the well
screened Georgetown attack gained re-
peatedly.
Convinced early in the battle that
Il could make little headway with
rl,rning attack. West Virginia re.
sorted TO lateral passes and forward
overhead play. In neither of these
stvIes of offense was it particularly
successful The swift-charging George
town forwards often smeared the lat

At punting, West Virginia was con-
siderabIy outdistanced, even though
Little Sleepy did get off several good
kicks. But Jim Mooney, husky tackle
called back to the booting for the Hill
toppers, easily got the edge over his
Mountaineer rival in this department.
