RY r. ID. THOMAS,


ped and jumped most he
roically in an effort to turn back
Bucknells undefeated Bisons yes
terday in Griffith Stadium and
lacked only a follow through wal
Iop. Bucknell won, TO.
Nearly all the man power left to an
injury-riddled and once promising
Hoya squad was thrown into the battle
and but for one Dustin, bruisln' Bison,
Clark Hinkle, might have gained the
day.
The champion point getter of the
East of two years ago never was able
to break loose, but he saw to it that
neither did a Hoya. His smashing
tackles and looming punts weighed the
scales against Georgetown, and the full
back leavened the Buckneu side with
consistent short gains, accurate forward
passes and effective generalship.
THREE times the Blue and Gray fought
its way to within easy striking distance
of touchdowns, only to fail for want OF
bit of backfield dynamite. Once 1t
crossed the enemy goal, but illegally.
The line carried the burden all the way
and better than held it's own with the
big forward wall of the visitors.
Visitors Score in Opener.
Busknen scored its touchdown near
the close of the first period on So
yard march that included a series OF
rapid-fire off-tackle thrusts mixed with
two long passes, thrown by Hinkle to
Myers and Goodwin. The two passes
netted 80 yards. Another Hinkle heave,
for yards, was caught behind the goal
by Endler, f1ankman. Tony Mezza's
place-kick added a point.
Kinn nO1nOhIIn AIanfU and
Bordeau its starting backfield, George
town was outplayed completely through
the first half, when it scored only three
first downs against eight, figures that
told an accurate story. But the Situa-
ton was reversed in the second half,
and largely by the doings of one Mike
Stanley a substitute back. Michael
went after those Bisons as though they
were billy goats and turned out to be
the NEST consistent ground gamer of
either team 1t was tumble by him,
however that killed off a last-period
opportunity to score and he made still
anbther that hurt.
Georgetown made its strongest bid in
the fourth quarter. 1t had the ball on
Bucknell's 45-yard line and first down
when the period opened. Stanley start
ed a drive with 5-yard gain, which
Johnny Shimmins followed with a 10
yarder through center. The BiSonS
seemed stampeded when Shimmins and
Stanley in succession caught passes
from King, with Shimnins' catch net
ting 5 yards and Stanley's 10 to put
the Hoyas yards from the goal.
G. us Touchdown Illegal.
But Shimmins and Stanley then at
tackled the line in vain. On the fourth
down the Georgetown supporters were
thrown into ecstatic fits when Shim-
minis snatohed pass, supposedly meant
to be lateral, and slipped around end
for an apparent touchdown. But King,
the passer, wasn't standing the regula-
ton S yards behind the line for for
ward fling and the ball passed over the
scrimmage mark. The play was ruled
illegal and the Bisons given the oval
on downs on the 3-yard line.
Hinkle punted cut of immediate dan
ger. but later when Hinkle kicked out
of bounds at midfield and the Bisons
drew a 15-yard penalty on the play
Georgetown again was threatening
Bordeau smashed off tackle for 9
yards and followed with short gain
that made first down on the 19-yard
line. After King failed to advance, the
lion-hearted fullback hurled himself
through the line again for 9 yards.
But that shot his bolt He missed by
inches in three efforts to give George
town another yard for first down.
HOyas Unfeazed by Failure.
1t was disappointing, but the Blue
and Gray kept heart. On Hinkle' S
kick-out Georgetown got the ball on its
own AS. Lone was smeared for heavy
loss on an attempted pass, but on the
next play King tossed long looper to
Carolan, left end, and conspicuous
performer throughout, that ate up AZ
yards, and the Hoyas again were in
scoring position, the goal 20 yards dis
lance Here it was Stanley fumbled
and when Endler fell on the ball TO.
Bucknell Georgetown's final opportunity
had vanished.
Later in the third quarter, George
town for the first time penetrated
deeply into Bucknell territory. Start
ing from its own 20-yard line, the HoyaS
advanced to Bucknell'SN %. where the
march was halted by 15-yard penalty
The big punch of this drive was &C.
yard pass from King to Carolan.
Georgetown made seven first downs
in the second half against three fol
Bucknell, but its margain of yardag7
was much greater than had been the
Bisons' in the first half.
The victory put Bucknen two 10 or
the series between the two institutions
who have met eight times. About 5000
Gaw the game.
