MOUNT ST. MARY'S
PUNCHLESS ENEMY
KelIy's Speed Puts Life in
Mates and Saves Crowd
From Ennui.

DLAYING ragged foot ball
- but always under wraps,
small army of Blue and
Gray gridiron warriors
mopped up Mr.. Clark Grifith's
ball park with a stubborn but al
most attackless Mount st. Marys
eleven yesterday to present
Georgetown with 26-to-0 victory
IN It's opening game.
Had 1t not been for the presence of
one Aloysius Thomas Kelly, a young
man going somewhere in foot ball. the
topcoatless crowd of 1000 might well
nave yawned its collective self into an
afternoons snooze. But this Al Kelly
injected in the game during the second
period woke the crowd and the entire
Georgetown team from what promised
10 become sunny reverie by flashing
some OF the speed that won for him
the national intercollegiate 70-yard in
door sprint championship in 1880.
MOUNT ST. MARY's backs found
III Georgetown's ponderous, slow
charging line something akin to
solid rock on defense throughout the
Se@iA~' NOO 6CIOh1 LIlC t1o1IOtS
forward wall much on the same order
until Coach Tommy Mills sent Kelly,
a grid neophyte, into the game shortly
after the start Of the second period.
The Hoyas he'd made one touchdown
moment before, but it was only be-
cause Of tumble by Halfback Abby of
Mount St. Mary's on his own 22-yard
line. Wilmer Bradley, one of George
towns other two impressive backs
PARCELS was No. 81, personally saw
to it that the ball went over from this
point.
Hardly had Capt. Ray Hudsons mis-
aimed try for the point landed when
Kelly darted on the field, grabbed a
punt, and with foot ball in his arms
for the first time In intercollegiate
competition, romped away to twisting
20-yard run deep in the enemy terri
tory. The presence of the sprint star
in the lineup seemed to speed up the
entire Hoya team, but on the next play
Kelly outdistanced both his interferers
and the opposition to race 25 yards and
over the boal line. Hudson converted
the point.
MILLS gave Kelly rest in the third
III period and sent in another flock
of backs, among them Charley
PARCELS, who served notice he'll bear
watching. PARCELS led an extensively
improved Hoya machine to its third
touchdown in this period.
Improving all the time, Georgetown,
headed by Kelly, Bradley and a prom
ising field general in Paul Kennedy, dis
played its best football in the final quar-
ter. Kelly was almost untacklable, the
visitors from Emmitsburg stopping him
only by running him outside. He got
off to several icng gains. one OF which
ended on Mount St. Mary's two-yard
line but which appeared as though it
should have counted as a touchdown.
The officials ruled he had been forced
outside, but from the upper stands it
appeared he had crossed the line with
out going outside Bradley took it over
and Mike Lone drop-kicked the point.
THAT ended the scoring but not
L Georgetown's gaining The Hoyas
had the visitors on the defensive
constantly until the whistle welcomely
shrilled the finish.
The game obviously was used by Mills
as tryout. The Georgetown mentor
sent in 33 players, but out Of the con-
glomeratlon not real kicker appeared
nor did any arrangement of the line
seem to improve its charging noticeably.
There was an obvious lack of cohesion
at times. Dick Danner. veteran guard,
and Tom Carolan and Capt. Ray Hud-
son, however. we're in their last years
form. while Mills is not expected to have
much trouble with his backfield ma
terial. Of which he has a wealth.
Defensively Georgetown played well,
holding the visitors to lone first down
and never allowing them to threaten
seriously Eaton Chalkley. Hooley Gass
and Mike Lynch. District boys, per-
formed well for Mount st. Mary's.
