was IA to IS.
Georgetown took the lead with two
touchdowns in the second period, both
of which were scored by John Hudak,
the son of a coal miner in Bethlehem,
after receiving forward passes from Joe
Scalzi. Big Jim Mooney, captain Of the
Hoya forces, kicked the seventh point
of the first trial, but his effort after the
second touchdown was blocked by Ed
die Barbour, Detroit sub playing his
last game on college gridiron. AS it
turned out, this was one OF the incl
dents of primary Importance in Detroit'S
victory and Georgetown's defeat.
Coming back after the half-time in
PERMISSION, the Titans found themselves
confronted by a 13-point handicap.
Play had been resumed less than
out this lead and found itself in pos
session of 1-point margin that it held
to the finish.
Georgetown had the ball on its own
l5-yard line and Mooney prepared to
punt out of danger. A Detroit lineman
blocked the kick and as the ball-skidded
along the frozen surface of the end zone
it was touched by Herman Young for
Detroits opening score. Robert Par
SAGA kicked the seventh point and
Georgetown's lead was reduced to Is
to z.
Intercepted Pass Brings Score.
On the third play after the next kick
on, Detroit tied the count. Parsaca
intercepted lateral pass from Scalzi
and ran ~ yards to the goal line with
hardly q hand being laid on him.
These six points evened the score and
1t was up to Parsaca to put his team
in front. He drop kicked. The ball
was wide of the post, but both teams
were ruled of side and Parsaca got
another chance. Detroit profited by this
break" as ParSaca's second attempt to
score the same point resulted in per-
feet kick.
Battling without the services of Lloyd
Brazil, captain and ace of the back
field, the Detroit players chung to this
lead relentlessly. For the most part
they played waiting game, holding the
ball until the third and fourth downs
before punting. In the absence OF
Brazil. Parsaca, the sophomore from
Grand Rapids. did the bulk of the
punting and his work was only shade
behind that of Mooney, who is recog-
nized as one of the best punters IN the
East
Statistics reveal that Detroit aver
aged IS yards on punts to SO for
Georgetown.
Brazil Out with Injury.
Brazil did not play in the final game
of the year because Of q charlie horse"
He first suffered the injury in the
Michigan State game November 16. 1t
was aggravated when he played against
oregon State College, on an icy grid
iron week ago. Brazil was in uni
form. however, and occupied a seat on
the bench.
When Bill O'Neil, sophomore from
Chicago. took his place in the starting
lineup the general expectation was that
Coach Charles E. Dorais would send
Brazil to the field at some opportune
moment. Everybody looked for him
when the team came out of the dress
ing room for the beginning Of the sec
ond half and again found him on the
bench. Brazil's injury, it developed,
was so serious that Dorais would not
again.
After Detroit had taken its one-point
lead, the Georgetown squad fought back
with keen determination. Once or
twice they were within scoring terri
tory but something always stopped
them.
Early in the fourth period. the Hill
toppers advanced inside Detreit's Is
ward line where their running attack
was halted Mooney then attempted to
put his team ahead by the fleld-goal
route. He dropped back to the 31-yard
line and kicked the ball from place
ment. The kick was low and wide and
Detroit's one-point margin remained.
Georgetown Takes to Air.
As the game neared the close, George
town launched the inevitable overhead
offense of a team that is behind. From
Detroit's 47-yard line. Hudak threw a
pass that was grounded.
Scalzi tried one and Hudak carried
it for a gain of z yards. Another
mass. Scalzi to Hudak, made it first
down on the 2S-yard line and Detroit
rooters became anxious for that one
point lead.
scalzi passed again but it was wide.
His next pass was intended Tor Ken
Provincial, who had raced beyond the
goal line. The ball was batted down
in the end zone by Detroit defender
and Georgetown's last threat was over.
The game was played in bitter cold
weather and on gridiron frozen haro.
Because of freezing temperature an
anticipated capacity attendance dWlndled
to about 10000.
Persons sat in the stands bundled
up in blankets with their overcoats
turned up at the collars. They pounded
their feet on the concrete in an I'M
successful effort to keep them warm.
Figures compiled by the campus
statisticians give nearly every advantage
to Georgetown. The Fasteners outgaln-
ed Detroit from scrimmage, lS9 YARDS
