~ ALTIMORE, Md, October 81.
X There is no truth in the
- rumor that Western Mary
land, the tough little guy
of Eastern foot ball a couple OF
years back, is right soft pickinS
nowadays.
At least that's the confirmed
opinion of band of Georgetown
gridiron warriors, who dropped
around today to investigate the
report. In the process of the in
vestigation the HoyaS accumu-
lated a 20-to-0 sinner, their fourth
licking in five years at the hands
of the Green TerrorS.

spotlight with the games scorer.
Merge treated the puny gathering of
1000 spectators-lost among the $4,000
bald seats in the vast Baltimore Sta
dium-with an exhibition of kicking
seldom seen. He consistently punted
out of bounds within GeorgetoWn's 20
yard line, intercepted numerous Hoya
passes and generally made himself
nuisance to the Washingtons.
TXCEPT for the final few minutes,
when hope definitely was aban-
doned by even the most ardent
Georgetowner, it was a one-sided con-
test, even more so than the score would
indicate. The Hoyas packed plenty of
spirit, but their offense was cumber-
some and slow and their passes rarely
landed in intended arms.
