Georgetown, though losing toI
New York University by a mar
row 20 score, came out of the
game with perhaps more glory
than the Violets. The latter were
figured at least one touchdown
better than the Hilloppers but
Georgetown took the play right
away from the New Yorkers.
It is hard to swallow defeat on
a technicality of the rules and
the Blue and Gray deserved no
worse than a draw. However,
the referee ruled that Johnny
Scalzi, G. U. quarterback, stepped
over the end zone while punting
in the fourth quarter and this
was a safety, giving New York U.
its winning margin.
It's true that they pay off on
the score and not first downs,
but Georgetown today might not
have any grievance had New York
University won by any other
method, say blocked punt,
tumble or intercepted pass. How
ever, neither Scalzi nor the ref
cree should be censured. It
was unfortunate that George
town should pay the penalty Of
victory for this mistake.
Nor should BOrdeau or any
other Georgetown backfield
man be, blamed for their
fumbles at critical moments
when the Hilltoppers had
driven the ViOletS under
their own goal posts. A wet
ball is hard to handle.
