Notre Dame style of foot
ball, having defeated Mount st.

But whether the Hoyas have a
team capable of maintaing the
standard of recent years remains
a question.
Not much was expected of it in the
opening contest by those who considered
the handicaps under which it was pro-
duced: the introduction of new sys-
tenn, a shortage of experienced players
and new material not quite up to snuff
for the Blue and Gray.
The Hoyas scored two. touchdowns
against one for the MQuntaineers and
made thirteen first downs against seven.
A discouraging feature from George
towns standpoint, however, was its dim

plays. There was never any question in
the minds of Tcm Mills and his aites
that the team could play an effective
aerial game.

1t was not until the last five minutes
of the first period that Georgetown
showed strength in any department.
The game had been ragged, with neither
team presenting sign OF class.
But the Hilltoppers suddenly. changed
the order. Halfback Bill MacZees, who
was a conspicuous figure almost from
beginning to end, uncorked the first
pass of the day. a 80 yarder. which
Right End Bob Brennan caught on the
enemy's 2o-yard line. The ball was
run outside and on the next play Mac
ices tipped short one to Quarterback
Johnny Scalzi who cleverly evaded sew
eral tackiers to cross the goal. He also
dYop-kicked the extra point.
The Hilltoppers continued the over
head attack and just before the period
ended completed tess, Maczees to
Emile Bozek which gained 80 yards and
placed them in scoring position again
But after having completed five passes
in six attempts che Mills chaiges were
stopped and Mount st. Mary's took the
ball on downs on its own 20-yard line.
