"A a golden opportunity and
enabled Georgetown to get
away with a 6-6 draw yesterday
in mud-wallowing contest in
Griffith Stadium. 1t was exciting.
Two minutes remained of the struggle
when Bucknell recovered a tumble on
Georgetown's 7-yard line and quickly
scored a touchdown to tie the count.
Out trotted Joe Kubacki, substitute
quarterback who seldom enters the
lineup, but when he does
A Bucknell information man in the
press box Is telling you: Here comes
our point, gentlemenl With game at
stake he doesn't miss. He made two
plays against Western Maryland last
week-he kicked two points. We won,
IA to 13.
"And last year-you remember?-
with Bucknell's unbeaten record at stake
in the final game-ciid that boy kick the
winning point or didn't he? One play.
One game for Kubacki!"
But tickle fortune, which played tricks
all through a queer contest yesterday,
turned its back when Kubach went
after that all-important point, that
would have given him record Of three
victories with four plays, and possibly
an all-time foot ball mark Of sorts. The
Bisons couldn't hold wildly charging
lot Of Hoyas long enough for a careful
effort and the one-punch artist missed.
CEORGETOwN appeared to have a
~ victory sewed up when Bucknen
got its late break, a turn OF affalrs
which compensated for a happy one
that came to the Blue and Gray in the
third period.
On the first play following the Sec
ond half kickoff. the Hoyas got q
touchdown on a blocked kick. Captain
Ray Hudson capped brilliant perform
ance at end for Georgetown by thrust
ing himself plumb IN the way OF pun1
by Joe Rhubright and the ball bounded
to within two yards Of the Bison goal.
It was kicked from the 5-yard line.
| Wilmer Bradley, fullback, half ran, hall
skidded to the oval, picked it up while
seemingly in the act Of falling and
slowed across the goal.
Quarterback Bill Kennedy essayed to
hold the ball for Dick banners places
ment try, but 1t skidded off his fingers
and Danner, catching the detected
oval, attempted fruitlessly to run for the
point.
! THAT point would have brought great
J. Joy to the ill-fortuned Hoyas who
yesterday for the first time in
many weeks fought with the Georges
town spirit of old. A change of coach-
| ing administrations and other disrupt
| ing influences had the Hilltoppers, for
time, in despair; so much so that q
defeat by West Virginia Wesleyan last
week was marked by seeming indiffer-
ence.
How different yesterday Tears made
little rivulets down the mud-smeared
faces of half dozen Hoyas as the boys
filed into the dressing room. They
| thought they should have won.
| As a matter of fact, they were Just
a bit fortunate they didn't lose, for
| the Bisons had much the better of the
ground gaining, as witness six first
| downs against one for the Blue and
Gray. Moreover, Bucknel made the
only two threats of thoroughly earned
touchdowns. In the third period they
were stopped within a yard of the goal
Three line smashes by Joe Renichaks
powerful fullback, were Tended by the
Hoyas, and on the fourth down that
worthy's pass across the goal was
knocked down by Nick Viskovich.
THE second longest gain of the game,
l. Is yards on a pass by Reznichak to
Zanarini, a flankman, gave the
Bisons this opportunity. In the opening
| quarter a 31-yard run from kick forma-
| tion by Rfiubright started a BucknelI
drive that was stopped at Georgetown's
16-yard mark, when, on fourth down. a
pass by Reznichak was intercepted by
F. Williamson, giant center.
To gain their touchdown, the Bisons
used an unorthodox method of forward
passing. Propelling the oval with both
hands, much in the manner of basket
