molish a stubborn Georgetown

and seemed headed for success
shortly after the opening whistle
when q bad pass by Harry
Downes, Eagle center, who played
the greatest game Of his career,
went behind the goal line and Ray
Hudson, an alert Georgetown end,
nailed Walter Kelley for safety
and the visitors only score.
Pete Chesnulevich, l56-pound thun-
derbolt Of the B. G. backheld, produced
tbs first touchdown shortly after the
start Of the second period after sus-
tanned march of 70 yards by the Eagles
during which Chesnulevich carried the
ball q dozen tim@s through every sec
ton Of tn. Hiiltoppers' line. This at
tack was varied only once when Cnessy
tossed q short pass to Johnny Freitas,
sub quarterback, that netted 10 yaroS.
Freitas drop-kicksd the extra point. /.
