| n OdGClS OI rugged Qe1enSe looms
on Saturday when Georgetown
takes the field against Maryland
at Griffith Stadium in a game
thai is destined to become one Of
the traditional gridiron contests
Of Washington. The paper record
Of Georgetown is better than that
Of the Terrapins.
So far the Hoyas have yielded
two touchdowns, which. with the
resulting goals, ran the total to
IA points.
Maryland has had IS points
scored against it so far, and 80
Of these were made by the Tar.
heels Of University of North Caro-
lima.
The outstanding achievement of
Georgetown this year was in play,
ing undefeated New York Univer-
sity to a standstill. A missed goal
from touchdown cost the Hoyas
tie against the men Of DR.. Nal
Stevens.
This feat becomes more out
standing when you go through the
records Of the season. New York
scored one touchdown against the
Hilltoppers. Bucknell held the Vic
lets to IA points, but every other
team on the New York schedule
had at least three touchdowns
scored against it. Bates was
beaten by New York "a to Z, Car
negie Tech bowed with the totals
resting at Is to 6, Penn Military
was beaten 33 to 7, College of the
City Of New York bowed at IS to
0. and Rutgers, which held Prince
ton 20 to 6, was slaughtered to
the tune of 48 to 0.
HOyas Improved
If comparative scores mean any
thing in the world, they serve to
indicate clearly that Georgetown
has improved in leaps and bounds
since it bowed to a seasoned, well
coached Albright team in the
opening game of the season.
The Hoyas prevented Manhat-
tan College from scoring, a feat
which only Louisiana State and
North Carolina State accom-
pliShed. There can be no doubt
about the ruggednesS of the Hoya
forward wall. Nor can there be
any doubt as to the terrific de-
fensive play of Capt. Joe Meglen
and Duff, fullbackS, and Hardy
and Fuardo, centers. Manhattan.
incidentally, played a 13-to-13 tie
with Holy Cross, scoring the only
points registered against the Wor.
cester Crusaders.
The Terrapin goal line was
crossed five times by North Caro-
lima, which was regarded as a
Rose Bowl possibility until it en-,
countered a Duke team which
found itself last Saturday.
Tarheels' Dream Dies
All Pasadena dreams Of the
Tarheels died in the roar OF
Duke cheers. Indiana, which beat
Chicago thoroughly last week,
scored twice against the Terps.
Florida and Virginia scored one
touchdown each against Maryland.
Now let's look at Virginia. Score
less ties against William and
Mary, Davidson. Virginia Poly
and Virginia Military, and q VIC
tory over st. Johns of Annapolis
highlight the season for Vir'
ginia. It is probable that the
Cavaliers got more of a bang out
of the touchdown they scored
against Navy than out Of any
other single feat of the season.
A forward pass from behind
their own goal line with a lateral
development down field Spanned
81 yards of playing field for Viz
ginia with the Midshipmen.
Florida's attack has not been
particularly potent this season.
and the Gators have won only
two victories. One of these was
against Stetson and the other
against Swanee.
HOyas Yield IA Points
Maryland has scored SO points
as compared to IS for George.
town. But as noted previously,
Georgetown has surrendered only
IA points as compared to IS points
for Maryland.
Now all of these factors are
highly interesting, but they may
be knocked galley west when the
teams start tossing that leather
around. With Stonebraker and
Guckeyson racing about the field
there is bound to be action. With
Gormley pounding off tackles
there will be constant shifting Of
the yard sticks. It strikes me that
GEORGETOWN will show somewhat
greater straight away power and
that the Terps with their swing
ing, slaShing attack will give the
College Park line rugged after
noon.
Washington is taking this game
to it's heart. The game and its
rivalry has developed along natural
: lines and it is destined, we believe,
to become one of the fine ira
! ditions of District Of Columbia
football.
