CROWD GETS KICK
OUT OF HOyA WIN
Bobcats Defeated, 67-12, but
Thrills Are Many-G. us
Next Foe Is Tough.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

ASSING over the fact that
- night foot ball is a pro-
nounced success, more than
10000 having vouched for
it when Georgetown swamped
West Virginia Wesleyan, 81 to IL,
at Griffith Stadium, the Hoyas
today looked a bugbear straight
in the eyes.
Another name for the fearsome
object is the Green Terror Of
Western Maryland.
While Blue and Gray backs were run
ming wild against weakened and dis
pirited Bobcat team, last night the Ter
ror was holding itself in leash in con-
test at Baltimore with st. Johns Of
Annapolis, but winning by Is to 0.
A Washington sports writer who
viewed the affair returned with the
opinion that the thrice victorious
Georgetown eleven, which has scored
decisively over Mount st. Mary's,
Loyola of Chicago and West Virginia
Wesleyan, next Saturday will need all
the strength it can muster to avert
Waterloo.
They Look Tough.
"I never have seen a more formidable
looking bunch of boys on one team,
said the reporter, land they can really
play foot ball. Georgetown will never
beat them with running attack alone.
Their line is too adamant. It's the
overhead game for G. u, and a good
one at that, or else"
The Blue and Gray will start prepare.
90 fret hio of
the season, which will be played in Bal
timore.
In the meantime Washington foot ball
folk are talking their heads on about
the doings last night at Grifhth Stad-
ium. A game with more sensations
never was played here. From the mo-
ment Johnny Scalzi caught the opening
kickoff and ran 95 yards for a George
town touchdown until the last few min
,,tes when the Hoyas pushed over their
final marker, the game was thriller,
and oddly so because OF its lopsldeo-
Quarterback Scalzi divided with Gyp
Battles of the Bobcats in highlighting
the show, with Johnny Bozek OF George
town tossing in several brilliant DltS o.
ball-carrying.
Scalzi made two long runs WITHIN q
suace of five minutes. The crowd was
stu aglow with the squat generals s5-
yarder when he set it afire anew with
a 72-yard prance for a second touch
down after intercepting forward pass.
Perhaps for fear he'd run himself to
death. Scalzi was removed from the
rame after this, but returned in the
third period. His final big thrust was
a Upward return of punt, which was
his best run. In the other two the
path was cleared most of the way by
~. he occasion he
did a lot of maneuvering to get free.
Gyp for AN-America.
Discussing the game this morning,
Head Coach Tom Mills Of Georgetown
nominated Clifford Battles, who played
left halfback for the Bobcats, for ALL
America selection.
Gle Is one of the greatest backs
have ever SEEN" was Mills tribute to
the rangy youth, who made two long
runs for Wesleyans touchdowns, gave
an exhibition of punting remindful of
Jim Mooney of Hilltop fame. was
power on defense and generally COM
ported himself with credit.
In the first period he evaded the en-
tire GEORGETOWN team for 68-yard run
from kick formation, and in the third
quarter crossed the goal on an 85-yard
punt return. In both instances the last
man to confront him was Scalzi, who
could not get close enough to attempt
tackle.
Perhaps the cleverest piece Of ball
toting by q Georgetown back was a
touchdown run of 20 yards by Johnny
Bozek in the first period. 1t was not
much for distance, but how he got
through the swarming enemy still Is not
quite clear.
Were Battered Team.
The result of the game was encourage
ing to some Hoya supporters, but the
GEORGETOWN coaches displayed little en-
thusiasrn. They desired sitter opposi-
ton to sharpen the team for the clash
with Western Maryland.
The Bobcats had taken two maulings
before coming here, several OF their best
players were out with injuries, and their
morale palpably was low.
It appears to be the general opinion
that night foot ball has come TO stay.
Except for a slight annoyance in the
way of smoke created by Photographic
flashlights, conditions last night hardly
could be improved upon. We shudder,
though, to think Of a gameNat night IN
snow or bitter cold.
In the excitement created by long
runs one really forgot the game was
being played at night and that much
of the college atmosphere was missing.
Rather, circus atmosphere prevailed
And interesting? Yea, DO!
