~ARNEGIE TECH, Win Dy
far the most powerful team
~ to appear at Griffith
Stadium this Fall, COM
pleted the wreckage Of George
town University's most disastrous
foot ball season of modern times
yesterday by smearing the Blue
and Gray, 81 to O.
Not since that memorable debacle on
Thanksgiving day, 1905, when the Car
isle Indians defeated Georgetown at
old American League Park here by a
score OF rs to has the Hilltop received
q shellacking to compare with that Of
yesterday.
Georgetown supporters in the crowd
Of 5000 locked on with more amaze
ment than chagrin as the Skibos swept
on to eight touchdowns, using with
devastating effect every weapon of grid
iron warfare.
The Hoyas, primed for their noblest
performance OF the year, came through
In at least one respect. They fought
to the last.
BY way of winding up their college
careers, Hudson, Kelly, Shimmens, Sui
Ivan and Anderson played themselves
into the ground and others of the
HoyaS took their licking like Spartans.
Physically as we'll as in technical
sense, the Blue and Gray was whipped
numerically, but with less than q min

for score. Then desperate passing
attack carried the Hoyas deep into
Carnegie territory for the first time, but
this effort like nearly all else attempted
by Georgetown this season, ended dis
mally. A forward pass was snagged by
Halfback George Kavel who ran 95
yards for his fourth touchdown of the
game.
TAvEL'S long runs and frequent
N scoring made him the most con-
spicuous Of half dozen effective
backs. but the Skibo line shared quite
as much in the glory. Behind the
charging of that line and the brilliant
Interference provided both by forwards
and backs, any ball toter in the land
could have made progress in leaps and
bounds
Carnegie's general excellence made 1t
diff1cult to understand the 42-0 defeat
1t received in midseason from Notre
Dame and by the same token made
clear its surprise performances against
Pitt and N. Y. u. both of which were
extended to the limit in contests i'm
med,ately preceding the Skibos' meet
ing with the Hoyas.
Several Of Carnegies touchdowns
yesterday came with breath taking
swiftness. On one occasion the Skibos,
on two consecutive passes, scored from
their own 3S-yard line. On another
pass they counted from midfeld, Kavel
IN this instance running As yards across
the goal. Sample, guard, intercepted
9 pass and ran rs yards to the Hoya
5-yard line, upon which the Skibos
caught the entire Georgetown team
hat-footed with scoring pass.
IN Kavel, Coulter, Sayles, Bevevino,
i Sales, McCurdy and Spisak Car
negie Tech presented the greatest
array of backs to show in Washington
this season. There was nothing they
couldn't do we'll In the way Of advanc-
ing the pigskin, either as individuals or
working in combination
On the other hand, Georgetown's
running attack through most of the
afternoon was next to useless. In the
first half ii gained only six yards. In
the late stages of the game it i'm
proved somewhat, but only enough to
boost the yardage to 81 as against 172
for Tech.
The Hoyas were markedly successful
with passes, however, gaining 1872 yards
thusly. But the Skibos skied of 233
yards.
1t was dreadful day for the George
town warriors, but apparently not for
their new mascot, Hoya I'd, frsky little
bulldog. Puppy Hoya, making his debut,
wagged his stunted tail and cut capers
quite gleefully, it seemed, no matter
what happened on the gridiron.
The defat was Georgetown's sixth out
OF nine games. 1t won two from minor
opponents and tied with one major
foe, Bucknell.
