.-Junie Smith-rolled dice with
foot ball fate at Griffith Stadium
yesterday and won.
Against prohibitiVe odds he gambled
William and Mary's grid fortunes on a
double nothing basis and brought
the Indians a 12-to-6 victory in
thrilling drama Of the air before 5000
awed spectators.
1t was the final period the score
was tied, and Georgetown was on its
way toward what appeared the win
ming touchdown. On their own g.
yard mark the Indians were en-
trenched. awaiting the next Hoya

arms OF Wilmer Bradley. Bradley was
free. The halfback who should have
been Bradley'S tackler was missing.
DUT the ball never reached Brad

with the linemen, Smith. ap-
parently anticipating the play, clutched
at the ball, grabbed it to his chest,
and scooted r1adly for the Georgetown
goal-e0 yards away. The foot race
was no contest. The stunned Hoyas
never were in the running.
Second only to Smiths daring move
was Georgetown's courage. The Gray
came back fighting but time was an
unyielding foe. The game ended few
minutes later with the ball, strangely
enough, again on the Indians 9-yard
line

The visitors promptly reeled of a

attack. Shade dropped back and threw
q long, low pass TO 9eIkSS, e11Oy over
the goal line. Stewards extra-point try
was low.
Until Georgetowns initial, in-starred
rally in the final period-the one which
Smith checked SO auspiciously and sue
cessfully-the Hoyas chief task was
stopping speedy little halfback named
Bill PaleSe. AS the time-keeper was
lifting the whistle to his lips for the
halfway signal, Palese broke away for

first play, though, one of the games

was William and Mary'S best defense

the Hoyas took the ball on downs to
open the fateful final period. A 15-yard
penalty against the Indians helped some
and Costello followed it up with a pass
to Bradley good fer 20 yards. Another
to Dick Murphy, right end, ended with
Georgetown on the VirginianS' 34-yard
line. Here some profitable rusheS and
sizable slice of the Is yards lost via
penalties by William and Mary gave
the Hoyas their big opportunity to score
the winning touchdown. And here Juni
Smith took advantage of the oppor-
tunity for Georgetown, staging his I'M
molested 90-yard journey down the
field, with the HoyaS in vain pursuit.

Georgetown, with the injured Nick
Viskovich hurting assorted passes at

9-yard line was as far as the Hoyas
travelled, however. The whistle ended
it all.
In every phase of the game except
the scoring rushing in which it was
outgained by to l, Georgetown had
the better OF the conflict. The Indians
outrushed the Hoyss, PAP to II, but
lost IS yards by penalties, and the
HoyaS evened matters somewhat by out
gaining their foes, 81 to IA, through
passes.
