~ ALTIMORE STADIUM, Novem-
- ber 30.-A sensational aerial
barrage that completely demor-
- allied the foot ball forces of
Georgetown University turned what
seemed certain defeat into 14-to-10
victory here today for the surprising
Green Terrors of Western Maryland.
Rushed off their feet in the early
moments by a second-string Hilltop
eleven and with Westminster support
ers fearful Of more terrible fate once
Georgetown's regulars were inserted,
the Terrors struck back in dramatic
fashion to overcome 10-to-0 deficit
before $500 frozen spectators.
Twice Leroy Campbell. southpaw
throwing halfback, faded back to whip
brilliant long passes for touchdowns,
while Georgetown's confused defense
groped vainly for ways and means to
check the Terror bombardment.
Campbell, his arm rifling 20 passes
during the course of the game, COM
pleted 10 of his heaves for a total
gain of 213 yards through the air,
more than offsetting the Hoyas' supe-
rior ground offense.
Duff Boots Field Goal.
A IL of Georgetown's scoring-a 20
yard field goal by Halfback Billy
Duff and pass from Bob Nolan to
Don Gibeau for so yards and touch
down-was done within the first 10
minutes and by second-string team.
In fact, so lop-sided was the battle at
the start that Hagerty's third stringers
crashed the game after the initial
scoring, while the regulars huddled on
the bench.
A poor Terror punt in the first
couple of minutes sailed crafty out of
bounds on Western Maryland's 33-yard
line and gave Georgetown its first
opportunity to score. The second
string Hoyas drove to the 10-yard
stripe but the Westminster band stiff
fened, and Duff, a rotund youngster,
booted a field goal from placement
from the 20-yard line and on difficult
angle.
Wasting no time, Georgetown struck
again in more decisive fashion imme-
diately afterward. Taking the ball in
midfleld, Nolan dropped back and
singled out Halfback Don Gibeau cut

arms and Don, on the dead run, zig

Dud's expert toe added the extra
point for 10-point lead and George
town supporters settled back, confident

A S QUICKLY as the Hilltop's conf

down. The Terror line, ripped to
shreds in the first quarter, charged
Duff as he attempted a quick kick in
the second period and partially block

ball on its own 49,

Raring back like a base ball pitcher
Campbell pitched strike" to Right
End Stan Benjamin for 20-yard gain
and then shot another long heave to
Ken Adr1ance, who took the ball over
the heads Of two Georgetown backs
and outran the Hilltoppers for a
touchdown. Jimmy Brennan added
the extra point with a placement to
bring the score to 10 to 7.
Inspired by their success, the Terrors
continued to pass in desperate at
tempt to score again before the half.
The more heaves in succession, Camp
bell to Jimmy Draper and Campbell
to Benjamin, brought the ball from
Georgetown's 42-yard line to the g.
yard stripe, but here the drive was
brought to an end when Draper
fumbled on fourth down and George
town recovered behind the goal for a
touchback. The Hoyas stood off the
Greenies for the remainder Of the
half.
0PENING the second half, Hagerty
inserted his first-stringers for the
first time, but they were no more sue
cessful in stopping Campbells passes
than their predecessors. After a
promising drive by each side had
flzzled, Western Maryland received a
break when Georgetown tumble was
recovered on the Hoyas' 80.
Thrice the Terrors struck through
the line, but fell short. On fourth
down and Campbell back everybody
In the stadium knew another long pass
was coming, but still the Hilltoppers
were unable to break it up. Left End
Louis Lassahn, outracing the George
town secondary, took beautiful heave
over his shoulder and stepped over the
goal line for the winning touchdown.
Brennan again added the extra point,
making 1t 1910.
Taking to the air again in the
fourth, the Terrors drove to George
towns IL before being held for downs.
The Hoyas, through air and line, bat
tied back down the field to the locals
20, lost the ball on downs, and were
unable to break through the Terrors'
defense afterward.
The defeat was doubly bitter dose
Tor Georgetown to swallow. Not only
was 1t the fourth consecutive victory
for the Terrors over the Hilltoppers
and Western Maryland's Seventh
triumph in eight annual games.
