off a good year with six wins.
three losses and a tie, all the
losses being of that variety which
takes bitterness out of defeat.
Catholic University had a
greatly underrated eleven, one
which won four, lost three and
tied one. Georgetown also won
four, lost three and tied one.
G.. WIS record establishes the
Colonials on top of the local heap
with C. U. in second place, Mary
land in third and Georgetown
pushing Maryland
The Colonials lost only to Lou
isiana State, Vanderbilt and
North Dakota, the laSt-nanled
loss the direct result of a bad
case of overconfidence.
MANY DeVelOPHlcAACS
The year was marked by num-
ber of interesting developments.
First, the failure of local team
to do very much with the lateral
pass proved disappointing.
Second, G. WIS backfield added
another disappointment. Alphonse
fluffy" Leemans alone measured
to standard.
Third, line play, as whole,
showed a vast improvement over
1888.
Fourth, while Tommy Oliver.
C. u, showed some form in the
Western Maryland game, and
other punters did we'll on occa-
sions, kickers as a rule were In
and-outers.
Fifth, once again G. w. proved
that the "big-name" teams will
draw customers through the turn
stiles.
Sixth, the Georgetown-Maryland
renewal, somewhat of diSap'
pointment. was that for only one
reason: the game was not worth
1920. and thousands who wanted
to attend stayed home because
of the exorbitant price charged.
Failure to Cooperate
Seventh, refusal of officials in
charge of football at the various
local colleges to get together on a
coordinated schedule once again
presages a cut-throat battle in
1885.
Eighth, rumors of Dick Han
ley replacing jim Pixlee as head
coach of football drew forth
from G. WIS players a petition
requesting that if and when Jim
Pixlee decided to leave G.. w..
Len Walsh be appointed head
coach of the Colonials. This
petition was followed bv the fol-
lowing statement from Max Far
rington. assistant athletic direc'
tor at George WASHINGTON:
sc. w. admireS Dick Hanley
as a coach and as a man.
However, Jim Pixlee has no
thought of leaving G. w. Even
If Mr.. Pixlee were to leave
G. w., Len Walsh would be-
come head football coach"
Ninth, the old slide-tackle, old
est of modern footballs plays.
accounted for more gains and
more touchdowns than any other
play.
Tenth, poor tackling lost
Georgetown the Maryland game.
Eleventh. American University
served notice that it will be
heard from during the coming
three years, that is. heard from
in its own class.
Leemans On Top
welfth, fluffy" LeemanS
topped the local gridders. with his
mate. Harry DeminG. Norwood
Sothoron and Vic Willis, Of
Maryland, Bill Yanchulis and
Bob Makofske. Of C. u. Joe
Saverine and Charlie PARCELS
OF Georgetown being others
prominently mentioned.
In the second group of colleges
American and Gallaudet-Bill
Hoffmeister and Tex Gamblin
drew attention at Gallaudet and
Staff Cassell drew plaudits at
American.
G. w. went far to the front IN
matter Of attendance at games
during 1894, the result Of clever
management.
Georgetown did very we'll in
the matter of attendance, as did
Maryland and C. U. The western
Maryland game showed c. U. pos
sibilities for the future.
Maryland will play its big
games of next year in Baltimore
Stadium. indicating the Terps
figure they will lose out in relation
to D. C. fans just so long as G.. w.
continues at it's present rate and
Just so long as C. U. retains its
present pace and G. q. moves
back toward it's old position in
drawing power hereabout.
