CASE IN G. US
GAME IS
CITED
By HARRY COSTELLO

Mental lapses in tootpau are
followed by disaster, as a rule.
Georgetown playing western
Maryland. 1t is early in the
second quarter. The score is tied
Merge, Terror punter, standing on
the Hoya 48-yard stripe punts.
The ball strikes the ground. 1t
rolls, rapidly. 1t is sure to run
across the Hoya goal line, If 1t Is
permitted to roll.
AS the ball rolls between the
five-yard marker and the goal
line, no player of Western Mary
land is near it. Lione is the
only Hoya near it. Lione is
Georgetown's field general.
Inches from the goal line
Lione grabs the rolling ball.
Kelly is forced to punt, from be-
hind his own goal line. He gets
away a good kick. 1t carries
40 yards. 1t is brought back to
the Hoya 40-yard stripe. From
there. the Terrors take it across
for the winning touchdown.
Had Kelly been able to KICK
from his own 10-yard line, IN,
stead of from behind his goal
line. more than likely his punt
would have carried farther. More
than likely Western Maryland
would have heen tested to
greater degree travelling so yards
than she was in Juggling the ball
40 yards for the winning score.
Bad Play
It was a bad play by George
town. 1t was mental lapse.
Naturally, since football is only
game, it is easy to forgive
Lione. The point is this disaster
follows mental lapses in football.
It is the rule, and not the eXcep-
ton.
That was a gloriously courage
Gus Western Maryland team. It's
attack, when it carried the ball
78 yards for the first touchdown,
and 40 yards for the second
touchdown, had every element OF
surprise. The HoyaS were stunned
by the fury of the iron-legged
boys from the mountain country.
Shepherd ran with great leg
drive. He utilized his power to
the very limit.
The Terrors player smart foot
ball. 1t was heads-up all the
time, after Georgetowns touch
down. Dick Harlow proved that
his team has the punch. How
ever, one wonders if Western
Maryland will play another such
game this season. The Hoyas
took a lot out of Dicks boys, and
they have a hard schedule.
Catholic University camk
through with flying colors. "TiS
said that Manhattan outplayed
C. U. Maybe so. However, thev
still pay off on the final scor
and the final count was Catholic
University. II, Manhattan Col
lege, 7.
Maryland played rather rag
gedly to win over st. Johns.
However, hopes are held that
Maryland will begin to click in
November. Green men on the
squad are improving. Rome
wasn't built in a day.
Eagles Lost
American University knew little
about Bluefield, before the gamej
started. American knows now,I
after that 19-to-6 licking.
Howard's Bisons tripped. They
lost out to Virginia Union. Even
so, Howard has a chance to re-
deem the season. It is not yet
November /.
George Washington's long trip,
plus the loss of Irish Johnny
Fenlon, was too much for the
Colonials. They were defeated
by Tulsa, as was forecaSted. The
G. W.-Iowa game, Friday night,
should be a pip. Once again the
ColonialS will be under-dogs.
The Quantico Marines tied
New River State, and meets
DaviS-Elkins, in Griffith Stadium,
Saturday. Here is another game
that should be a real battle, It
should draw big crowd.
Probably no football player in
the country deserves quite so
much praise as AL Kelly. of
Georgetown. This is his first
year of football. He plays natur.
ally. He kicks well. All things
considered, his is a remarkable
