Evening star., 1928-10-28


its fifth successive victory of the sea-
son before a crowd of 5000 in Grif-
fifth Stadium The Blue Devils of Duke
from Durham, NJ c.. were licked. 35 to
o, the Hoyas thereby raising to 240
their point total, that is the best ac-
cumulated by an Eastern college eleven
this season.
AS the contest was played, George
town cannot be rated five touchdowns
better than Duke. The HoyaS were
hard put to score in the first half Of
the fray, their initial touchdown oc-
curing in the opening quarter after
one of them had intercepted a Duke
pass in enemy territory, and their sec
ond touchdown occurring at the stat
of the next quarter, after an odd PEN
atty inflicted upon the TarheelS h &
given the home side the ball V
seven yards of goal.
There was no scoring in I'll
period, although the end of i,

third touchdown came at the OUT l.
the final quarter. Thereafter, the Duk
team, somewhat demoralized, committed
many errors and Georgetown crossed
the last stripe with ease two more
times.
Game Not Spectacular.
There was little of the spectacular
about the fray. Really long runs were
missing, there was little precision in
Georgetown'S running attack after the
first quarter Tie aerial offensive of
both teams was notable only for the
number of times the ball failed to
reach the intended receiver. Duke
rarely flashed running game that
was worthy of the name, nor was i
particularly good in the direction OF Il.
attack.
The punting duel between Jim Mooney
of Georgetown and Sam Buie of Duk,
was perhaps the feature OF the en-
gagement. Each put his foot into the
ball for good distances, with Mooney
gaining slight advantage over h S
Carolina rival. However, Buie and
Jankowski, the Duke receivers, ran
back punts so well that this slight ad-
vantage was off set. Mooney aided
Georgetown by booting an extra point
after each touchdown.
Again, the Georgetown line from
tackle to tackle. outplayed its oppon-
ent, although in the first half the Duke
forwards gave the Hoya wall a pretty
good battle. Sam Cordovano was a
tower of strength in the home line.
He frequently distinguished himself by
making vicious tackles and allowed the
Blue Devils to make little headway
through his side of the rushline.
Georgetown'S ends, that had performed
so well in other games, however, were
not so clever. 1t was around them
that Duke picked up the most of the
scant yardage it cleaned from rushing
the ball.
Buie Greatly OverwOrked.
Dukes outstanding player was Buie,
quarterback. He not only directed his
teams play, but also did its kicking and
passing, received most of the George
town puntS and did most of the tack
ling of men who crashed through the
Duke line. In fact, 1t seemed that Duke
expected Buie to play its entire game.
The task proved too great for him. In
the fourth period Buie suffered mental
lapse and made weird play that Led
directly to Georgetown's last touch
down. For this mistake Buie was re-
moved from the fray. But he had given
Duke mis- all, at that
Favored by stronger line, George
town gained much more ground b.
rushing than Duke, yet it made little
use of these gains. Often when Dukes
territory had been penetrated deeply
the supposedly fiashy Hoya backs were
unable to make any headway. Penalties,
too, checked Georgetown a great deal.
1t was forced to give up ground re-
peatedly when its players were dis
covered holding opponents, roughing
passers or interfering with pass re-
ceivers. Duke, too, suffered some pen
alties, but nothing like the number
suffered. The officials we're
eagle-eyed throughout the pastiming.
Dwyer First to Score.
Georgetown opened play as though it
would sweep Duke off its feet with ease.

Georgetown reeled off two first downs

town the pigskin on the 7-yard line and

again in the first play of the second
quarter and he drove to touchdown.
Three More TOuchdOwns.
The remainder of the second quarter
was something of a battle between
Georgetown and the officials, with
the loser, of course. Helped
oy penalties, Duke got to Georgetown'S
l0-yard line, only to have a pass
knocked down by Georgetown man
standing behind goal as the period
ended. The early part of the third pc
-iod found Georgetown repeatedly ham,
ner1ng at Dukes goal after gaining the
ball mainly through its opponents poor
play. Once the HoyaS were held for
downs on the 5-yard line, but toward
he end Of the quarter they finally sue

despite 15-yard penalty we're within
yards of goal when the horn squawked.
