Coach Lou Little paradec
practically every member of his squad
not on, the hospital list. onto the rain
soaked gridiron at Clark Griffith Sta
dunn.
The visiting Mountainecrs were help
less before the crushing offense of the
Hilltop machine in the early stages OF
the contest. yielding two touchdowns
in each of the first two periods. They
managed to stem the Blue and Gray
tide in the second half. aided by the
slippery footing which retarded the Hill
top backs.
G. L. Uses Many Men.
Georgetown called its first string
eleven into action at the start. sending
in substitutonS as the score mounted.
Most of these scheduled for regular
berths also started the second half
Although they failed to get a real test,
Coach Little might feel we'll satisfied
with the showing of his lncmen es well
ss his backs.
The fact that most of the Noun
tsineer plays we're Smothered on the
line of Scrimmage or before they got
started demonstrated that the Hilltop
line is not weak. The all-around per-
formanccs of Leary Duplin. Scalzi,
Gardiner and Hannigan behind the
line. left little to be desired.
Leary and Gardiner furnished the
most sensational feats of the engage
Tho anNOyiYafo d for
touchdowns by being on the receiving
end of passes. Gardiner relieved Scalzi
at the start of the second quarter and
broke through the opposition on the
first play for a touchdown. ScalZi's
ressine was largely responsible for four
OF the winners touchdowns.
Visitors Are Subdued.
The visitors gained but Two first
downs and one OF these resulted from
a. GEORGETOWN penalty. The other was
registered en- one of the two completed
forward passes. However. Connell gave
the Mounts a slight advantage in the
punting exchange which featured the
third period. One of his boots covered
so yards. The Hilltop backs managed
to carry most. of the kicks back from
10 to 80 yards
Slippery footing made consistent
ground gaining almost impossible dur
ing the second half and each team re-
sorted TO the kicking game. Fumbles
were also frequent and forward passing
WIS difficult.
Duplin went ever for the first counter
early in the first period, taking a short
pass from Scalzi after Leary and Dup
lin made long runs. Mooney made hi,
only successful placement kick in five
tries after the initial touchdown. A
line smash by Leary. a 25-yard heave
from Scal2i to Dublin and another short
toss TO Leary yielded second counter
Gardiner Sprints to Score.
Gardiner went around left end for
IS yards and third touchdown at the
start of the second quarter Consistenc
gains throug the line led to a fourth
touchdown with Maczee hitting right
tackle for the final 2-yard gain.
Duplin, Williams and Gardiner went
through the Mount line early in thc
final neriod to put the ball on the S.
yaru stripe. Duplin then passed to
Leary for the final touchdown.
Few penalties marred the contest and
Mike Tracy, Washington boy. who calls
signals for the Mountaineers. was the
only player removed by injuries. A
twisted knee forced him tn the side
lines after battling camely through the
first half.
