The suit points out that Colonel
Cooper's plan offered depoSitors

Berries Strikes Fear.

DERHAPS it was the highly pub
hciZed Berries who struck par
alyzing fear into the Terrapins as
they took the field; Berries who ran
rings around Virginia and William
and William and Mary, Berries who
seems destined to win a place among
the 1884 all-American elite. At any
rate the Old Liners seemed too timid
to tackle the loose -jointed, bow-legged,
blue-clad will-o'-the-wi and Berries
didn't help their frame of mind mid
way the initial period when he grabbed
q punt by young Bill Guckeyson on
his own 35-yard line and fairly cat
apulted his way to the Maryland as
yard stripe. On the next play Buzz
flipped a short pass to Jim Mini for
IL yards and Tommy King plowed
through the line for 7 more. Berries
then made a first down on the r.
yard line, but a 5-yard penalty for
offside was inflicted and Navy elected
to try for field goal.
Never was a boot more squarely
through the uprights than the place
ment big Slade Cutter kicked while
standing on his 25-yard line, play
which later was to prove, to general
amazement. the margin of victory.
Amazement is no exaggeration for
scarcely three minutes later the score
was boosted from 3-to-0 to 10-to-0,
thanks to another great running per-
formance by Berries. He led a Navy
march into enemy territory and then,

Hoyas Score on Pass.

A PASS from Capt. Savarine to
~ PARCELS early in the second quar-
ter accounted for Georgetown's
first score. The Jaspers had marched
down the field to the Hoyas' 15-yard
line early in the first period, but
were halted. Meglen punted to mid
field and Barkaus, of Manhattan, fum-
bled on the first play. Joe Shields,
substitute end, recovered for the Hoyas
on Manhattan's 47-yard line.
Capt. Savarine reeled off 20 yards
around the Manhattan left end and
PARCELS gained more over his own
right guard. Heron made it first
down on the Jaspers' 16-yard line
as the period ended. Savarine made
a yard on the first play of the second
period and then whipped a pass over
the line to PARCELS, who stepped
yards for the touchdown. Meglens
kick from placement added another
point.
Exciting moments trailed in quick
succession in the third period in which
the Hoyas boosted the score with q
safety. Cohen of Georgetown re-
covered q tumble on Manhattan's 33-
yard line. Savarine made yards
and followed with long pass to Par
cells, who was tackled on Manhat-
tan's 7-yard line. The Hoya captain
hurled another, but it was intercepted
by Downey on the 6-yard line. Gal
