on to victory.
Georgetown defeated st. Louis Uni

with his charges for weeks this Fall to
make the key move of all their strategy.
A change of style effected almost over
night undoubtedly had much to do with
triumph that heartened adherents of
the Blue and Gray who saw their team
plunged Unexpectedly to defeat a week
previous.
Georgetown discarded the fancy stuff
yesterday. perhaps to take it up later In
the campaign, and for the FIRST time
this season the Hoyas functioned
smoothly as team. There were mo-
ments of weakness. to be sure, but the
improvement was undeniable.
Enter Johnny Bozek.
Some of it was due, probably, to back
field changes. which sent Joe Gardner
to quarterback. Emile Bozek to a half
and Ed Leary from the generals post to
half, with John Hudak remaining at
full. Johnny Bozek, upon whom George
town counted much this Fall, but who
reported several weeks late, made his
1929 debut in the third quarter, but
was not a prominent figure. He made
several worthwhile gains, but never
flashed. He relieved his brother, Emile,
who had played sterling foot ball
The Blue and Gray points were made
with two surprising touchdowns, both

came into prominence as a forward
passer when he shot long one to
Hudak, who got clear for a 56-yard
gain and touchdown. The excitement
barely had abated when Leary inter-
cepted a pass by Quarterback McKin-

first extra point, but got the other
After the second touchdown there
were few thrills. Late in the game the
Hilltoppers made a drive that carried
them to the enemy's 5-yard line, where
they were held for downs.
ScaIsi Takes GalIop.
The irrepressible Johnny Scalzi, who
rises to dizzy heights or plunges to dis
NAL depths with equal abandon, started
this advance with 35-yard run. It
was his first play of the game He
ended the fray by intercepting O long
pass with which st. Louis attempted
desperately to avoid shutout. In the
meantime, however, Johnny had 1affed
on an easy chance to take out his man
when success meant Sizeable gain.
and once, when a forward pass was to
be made and q Hoya receiver was iiri-
able to get clear. he ran back quite too
far and an unnecessary loss resulted.
Georgetown had several opportuni-
ties to boost the score, but lacked .
punch when a few yards were needed.
One of these instances was noteworthy.
Capt. Joe Lintzenich may be praised
for a bit Of daring or condemned for
pulling a boner for forward passing
from behind his own goal. but this he
did in the final period. and the ball was
intercepted by Halfback Schmid on st.
Louis 20-yard line. Georgetown was
unable to make the most of this break
when plans went wrong for an aerial
play and Scalzi was trapped for the
15-yard debit mentioned.
G. U. Hope Rises.
Georgetown's showing against for
midable foe, on the whole, was en-
couraging to its adherents, who fore
saw q miserable campaign after the
licking by Western Maryland. The
revamped backfield was effective. the
team was well generated and its plays
were run OF with more coordination
than before. Wyncoop. shifted from
center, proved himself easily adaptable.
and Morris, who took over the pivot
job. almost distinguished himself.
