THERE was a song in the
hearts of Georgetown's foot
i ball warriors today, an ex-
ultant tune set to the tempo
of wildly racing feet that tripped
a light fantastic on the sod OF
Griffith Stadium as the Blue and
Gray sped to triumph over
hitherto unconquered foe, the
proud Spartan of Michigan State
The sweetest Georgetown VIC
tory of recent years is inscribed
IA to Is, and beside the record is
the name of Quarterback John
Scalzi.

thought doomed to a drubbing by Tulsa
University, came away with the highly

Georgetown's defeat Of Michigan
State was a sumner to the foot ball
world. 1t reckoned as slim the chance
of the Hoyas to get anywhere after they
had taken a 1o-to-o beating by West
ern Maryland When defeat by West
Virginia followed, those who check the
relative merit of the Nations foot ball
teams marked Georgetown down to
zero. A radical revision is in order as
the Hilltoppers set about gi:ding for
battles with Boston College, New York
University, Villanova and Detroit, all
strong teams.

celebrations also held down the attend

yard pass from Johnny Bozek and ran
AZ yards across the goal. II was a bolt
from the blue to Michigan State, which

The second touchdown was master

blocking by his team. He took the open
ing kickoff of the second half and ran
approximately 90 yards to the goal. with
the other Hoyas clearing a path. 1t
was the second time this season that
the quarterback accomplished this feat.
Against West Virginia Wesleyan he ran
about the same distance to score with
the opening kickoff.
Scalzi booted both extra points 10
