Georgetown prepares this week
for it's coming clash with the Bos-
ton College Eagles. The squad
came through the Lafayette game
in good shape and needs but be
kept in good mental condition in
order to be assured Of victory. In
deed, the Hilltoppers should romp
away to the Eastern Catholic cham
pion as neither Boston College nor
Fordham seem in a class with them.
Washington football fans have
scanty fare offered them this week.

Lafayette proved considerable of
a failure at the Griffith Stadium.
The physical effects of those bitter
battles with West Virginia, w. and
J. and Penn State were apparent
from the beginning. The line lacked
everything but size. The forwards
seemed stiff and sore and the agile
Hilltoppers outcharged them, pushed
them aside, bent them backwards
and tossed them around generally
Mike Wilson, a clever rum
ming back, was helpless behind
such a line and was not kept
long in the lineup. O'ReilIy. his
successor. did much better. =.
Chimenti and HanlOn. too. looked
like good backs, though they
could do little.
1t was in the line that George.
town quickly established it's supre-
macy. From Provincial on one end
to Johnny Tomaini on the other
that gray line lifted and thrust their
opponents back and out OF the way
again and again. Now and then
Harold Cothran, Lafayette's big cap
tain and right tackle, would stop a
plunge, but usually 1t was SheIlen-
berger or Chimenti who got tangled
up with the speedy Georgetown in
reference. That meant a George
town advance.
Defensively, too, that Georgetown
line was masterful, with Capt.
Claude Grigsby performing valia mt
ly all over the field. He played a
rowing center and stopped Lafayette
plays everywhere. At no time could
the visitors maintain an advance
for much yardage.
While Georgetown was easily La.
fayette's superior in the first half.
the second half saw Lafayette crum
BILE away altogether and only pen
atty after penalty kept the score
down. The Hilltoppers were like
wolves in their aagerness and the
crippled, exhausted Lafayette line
vanished before their attack.
Though beaten, the George Wash
lngton Colonials covered themselves
with glory. Indeed. Hugo Bezdek
paid them the compliment of start
ing his regulars in the second half
after the Colonials had battled the
reserves to no-score tie.
1t was much the same story for
Maryland. Yale's first eleven
scored all 80 points in the first
half and then the reserves were un-
able to make a point in the second
half. Maryland's touchdown was
a record-breaker. ''Sntz" snyder
gathered in Caldwell's kickoff on
the 9yard line and raced right
through the Ellis for touchdown.
He covered the 81 yards behind ex.

Virginia fooled folks by coming
42-to.0. and walloping Washington
and Lee, 1S-to-7. As the Generals
won from Maryland a week earlier,
1s-to.s. the Old Liners seem in for
