OuV i'll cU 4IOoUt
~ were out to celebrate a glor-
lous homecoming day for Georgetown
at Griffith Stadium yesterday, but
rangy Bill Guckeyson of nearby Leland
decided to make 1t a private goal-going
party for himself, with the result that
Maryland walked off with a 12-to-6
J foot ball victory.
1t was virtually one-man show,
this game Of series between old and
natural rivals that started way back
in the gay COS and was renewed only
last Fall after a lapse of 27 years.
Guckeyson grabbed the center of the
stage before the battling was under
way 2 minutes and the remainder Of
the way generally managed to set
bravely defled the chilling blasts to
look in at the Capitals outstanding
intra-metropontan grid game Of the
campaign.
Hardly had the hardy foot ball fans
settled back in their blankets before
Guckeyson shook himself loose at mid
field to duck and dodge his way so
yards to a score. But Bill reserved his
greatest thrill for the second half.
Taking the kickoff opening the third
quarter, he trailed a corking bunch of
Maryland blockers to clear the 90
yards to goal.
Hoyas Come Right Back to Tie.
THAT was the score Maryland had
been waiting for as Georgetown, un-
daunted by Guckeyson's game-starting
tallying sprint, had come right back
to drive and heave its way over 65-
yard stretch to the Terrapins' goal.
1t was a lateral tossed by Tom
Heating to wally Heron, co-captain,
that paved the way to the final 7
yard advance needed to get the Hoyas
their only touchdown.
Scoring runs were not all that
Guckeyson contributed to the Mary
land cause to make himself the out
standing figure Of the fray. however.
He was ever true triple threat. Bill
ran the ball well enough to pick up
nearly two-thirds Of the ground gained
by the Terrapins' rush attack. He
passed and he punted. And how he
punted.
It was this kicking by Guckeyson
that played as great q part in the
Maryland defense as did his earnest
backing up Of line none too stalwart
in the center. Much Of that gaining
the Hoyas did after tearing great gaps
in the middle Of the Terrapins' for

Guckeysons Punting Hurts C. U.
CUCKEYSON was greatly superior
to Georgetown's Meglen in the
kicking game. Bill got of 10 punts
averaging 80 yards, while Joe's 8
averaged but 26. Georgetown out
gained Maryland, 232 yards to 1856, at
the running game and was outpassed,
81 yards to 46. But it was this differ
ence between Guckeyson's and Meg
lens kicking that hurt Georgetown
plenty.
The Terrapins certainly found that
Georgetown goal with little loss OF
time. Soon after Georgetown took
the opening kickoff Meglen punted
to the Maryland As. John Gormley'S
drive at center was good for yards.
incidentally that was one Of the few
times the Terrapins were able to make
any headway through the middle Of
the Hoya wall. Then Guckeyson was
given the ball. He slipped by right
tackle, lodged would-be tacklers
through a 10-yard stretch, then sped
on unmolested to the touchdown.
Georgetown came right back to even

Immediately shot a 15-yard pass to
Snyder. This made it first down at

Ing team bewildered.
Dash from KICKOFF Thriller.
A MOTHER smash and Meglen had
- picked up 4 more yards. Then
came the lateral, Keating to Heron,
and the game was deadlocked.
Heron failed to convert as had
Charlie Ellinger after Guckeyson's
first touchdown. Nor was George
Sachs able to boot the extra point
after Bills sparkling sprint at the
outset Of the third quarter.
Guckeyson took the second-half kick
Off smack on his 10-yard line to start
his long run. With pair of George
. town men bearing down on him. Bill
darted to his right, then SKINNED
along the side line. There were Hoyas
all about him. How he remained
within bounds will ever be a mystery.
At times he was less than foot away
from the boundary as he sped toward
the fields middle mark. There he cut
sharply to his left to take advantage
OF Maryland blockers.
These cleared the way nicely until
finally three Of them swooped down
upon Heron, hapless Hoya safety, to
make clear for Guckeyson the last Is
yards to goal.
