to win again this week. and If they do
the battle November 16 between the

NEW YORK, November 5.-Sheer
courage and will-to-win were never bet
ter eXemplified than in Saturdays de-
feat of New York University's mighty
eleven by Georgetown. Lou Little should
be proud of those boys. There would
appear to be small danger that he is
not. When the graduates of the Dis
trict of Columbia institution waited
for the players to emerge after they
were dressed the cheers they gave were
for real foot ball team.
Georgetown won that game by splen-
did tackling, fine and heady interfer-
ence, seizure of opportunity, clean
handling Of the ball, stout heartedness
and last but not least, the magnificent
kicking of Jim Mooney. Time after
time, it was the educated toe of James
which got his team. out of danger
and drove New York from attack to
defense.
Mooney Great Player.
This Mooney is a bali player. Not
only can he boot the pigskin with a
force that makes it resemble a pro-
jectile fired from howitzer, but he is
corking tackle in any company. He
follows the ball as surely as Summer
follows Spring. He can block and
tackle and there is no moment of the
game when you are not aware that he
is in 1t. A sweet lineman, Mr.. Mooney,
and great kicker.
But Jim is not the only real man
on that Georgetown team Jerry Car
roll is a fine guard and an inspiring
leader. Wynkoop is a most efficient
center. Duplin is one of the most use
full backs of the season. On defense
he comes into the play with a speed
approaching that of eagle.
Georgetown is not essentially so
powerful team as New York Uni
versity, but it won-and that's the final
answer. 1t might not win one game out
OF five from Meehans men, but it won
the game it needed and, as Miss Barry
more remarked, There isn't any more"
Makes Is First Downs.
Let us see what the New York eleven
accomplished. 1t made l8 first downs
TO Georgetown'S 2. 1t gained far more
ground. 1t stopped Georgetown'S run
ming game and at least half q dozen
times put itself in good scoring posi-
ton. But 1t made fumbleS to George
towns 3, and when the ball started
skidding its lonesome way about the
slippery field it usually was a George
town man who recovered it. The foot
ball fates gave New York chance after
chance. 1t fumbled them all.
The game was more or less like the
Corbett- -FitzSimmons fight After that
bout outline pictures of the contestants
were published, with each blow which

had landed marked. The picture of Fitz
was dotted until 1t looked like a man
with measles. The picture of Corbett
was practically unmarked-but above
the solar plexus there was a cross.
Georgetown had just one chance and
took it. And that touchdown wasn't
the f1uke it seemed. When New York
back fumbled on Georgetown's l0-yard
line and Ken Provincial swept up the
balll and sprinted for that other goal
line, so far away, there was hot pur-
suit. Two New York players, running
like a team, were gaining on the
Georgetown end with a surety that
promised they would pull him down.
Provincial Gets Help.
Between Provincial and these would
be tacklers ran another Georgetown
player. Measuring his distance with
GOODNESS, timing his plunge with the ac-
curacy of stopwatch, he hurled him.
self across the legs of the purSuers and
spilled them flying. / don't know that
boys name. / wish did. He was as
responsible for that touchdown fully as
much as was Provincial who carried
the ball Tack Hardwick, greatest of in
terferers, could not have done that job
more neatly. Jim Mooney calmly kick
ed the goal. Every man did his job
That's what won for Georgetown
team work. The team, which was said
to rely on speed outSmarted and out
fought stronger aggregation on slow
and sloppy field When New York, des-
perate and with its yelling rooters
scenting victory, was within one yard
of a touchdown and had two downs to
make it. Georgetown held. Those two
rushes totaled only something over two
feet. That was a gallant exhibition.
Given a Real Test.
Meehans men certainly tried. Grant
was tower of strength in line which
refused to yield ground Nemecek is a
Whirlwind end. Strong and Follet are
fine backs and almost got away more
than once. But when the New York in
reference was not doing its job very
well. Time after time, interferers missed
their man, when to get him would have
meant runner in the open.
And I did not like to see the Violet
lose all faith in its running attack and
resort to fiocks OF forward passes, throw
ing them on first doWn-every down--in
a gambling hope fashion. New York
completed four passes out of twenty-five.
Five were intercepted To my mind,
such percentage makes a bad gamble
New York was hurting showers of
passes when there still were 7 minutes
left to play. You expect such tactics
from weak team-not from q strong
one, which New York University un-
doubtedly is.
Georgetown deserved to win.
