seventh victory this Fall by taking the
measure of the West Virginia gridder:
in a 12-to-0 contest.
1t was a contest replete with good
hard foot ball yet notable for the few
rule violations bringing penalization
that was offered for the entertainment
of the crowd, estimated as being from
$4,000 to 10000, contest so interest.
ing in every respect that even the 2,50(
faithful who had followed the Noun
taineers here from Morgantown got q
6eal of enjoyment from it despite the
licking their team suffered.
Georgetown'S scoring was done in the
third and fourth periods. The first
touchdown ended a 62-yard drive fol-
lowing the reception Of West Virginia s
half-tine kickoff. The second touch
down was made early in the fourth
quarter and was mainly the result OF
Gray.
Bozek's Smart Sprint.
Forced back to its 3-yard line by a
fine West Virginia punt, Georgetown
lined up as though it would make a
return kick. Instead, Johnny Bozek,
feet back, who had entered the FRAY
not long before, took the ball crashed
through the Mountaineer forward wall
and dashed to the foes 42-yard stripe
before being downed. This startling
55-yard drive SO unpoised the Noun
taineers that Georgetown quickly COW
cred the remaining distance to goal.
1t was Ralph Duplin, Blue and Gray
quarterback. who registered each touch
down, and 1t was he who essayed to ado
extra points with placement kicks. His
first effort was blocked by Mountain
eer lineman. His second cleared the
crosS-bar, but was nullif1ed when a
Georgetown player was discovered hold
ing an opponent.
West Virginia was not sunk inelori-
olsly. Twice it drove determinedIy to-

line and tried to boot the oval over the
cross bar from placement.
Liston Blocks Kick.
Liston, Georgetown tackle, broke
through and smeared the effort. Later
West Virginia recovered the ball within
yards OF goal when Duplin fumbled
p punt, apd with three plays picked up
yards before the period ended. In
the first play Of the second period, how
ever, the Mountaineers grounded a pass
behind the final line and the ball
passed to the defenders.
West Virginia's second bid for a score
was more sensational. With only a
minute Of play remaining in the second
quarter, Larue caught Georgetown
punt and ran the ball back 10 yards to
midf1elo. Larue then dropped back and
hurled the plgskin to Albert Glenn, big
Sleepy, this time. 1t was at point %
ards ahead Of the scrimmage line that

were all around him and he was forced

touchdown seemed certain, but when
