~ ROOKLYN, N. Y. November
- 14.-Georgetown's foot ball
team was blasted out OF the
- undefeated class today as a
versatile and opportunist Manhattan
College eleven smashed through the
Hoya defenses for two touchdowns in
the second period TO garner a deci-
sive 1870 victory at Ebbetts Field
before a crowd of 10000.
Handicapped by frequent fumbling
lapses, particularly on their lateral
pass plays, which boomeranged into
decided breaks for Manhattan, and
with their running game throttled
by the New Workers. hard-charg-
ing forward wall, the Hilltoppers
never were able to gain sufficient mo-
mentum to put in a serious bid for q
score.
Finding Georgetown's pass defense
vulnerable in all zones, Chick Nee
hans Jaspers went to town via the
air to register their initial triumph
over Georgetown in four starts and
to subject the Hoyas to their first de-
feat in seven engagements this cam
paign.
Manhattan completed 8 passes in
IA attempts for an aggregate gain
OF 104 yards. and whenever bottled
up by Georgetown's tightly knit
ground defense, which was often, it
resorted to an aerial game TO break
into Hoya territory.
JaSpers Count With Pass.
THE first tally came on a pass from
Fullback Pat Byrne to Ed Krin-
gle, halfback, Kringle took Byrnes
22-yard toss over his shoulder and
scampered more yards over the goal
line. Rushed, Kringle failed to con-
vert.
After an exchange OF punts, in
which Elmer Moulin outdistanced the
Jasper kicker. Manhattan got roll
ing again and. starting on its own
IS, put on 65-yard drive that cul-
minated in the final touchdown, with
Dick Tuckey, fullback, scoring from
the l-yard line on an off-tackle buck.
Larry Hardy blocked Kringle's
place-kick for the extra point, but
Georgetown was offside and the Jas
per back converted on his second try.
Superb punting ~ Moulin, who
kicked the Hoyas out Of several tough
spots, and yeoman service by the
Hoyas' center trio of Hardy, Jim Hill
and Herb Stadler. played large part
in preventing Manhattan from run
ming up the score. Stadler was in
jured near the close Of the first half
and was assisted from the field.
HoyaS Tough Near Goal.
GEORGETOWN put on two stirring
goal-line stands in the first half,
one in the initial session, when it took
the ball on downs from the Jaspers,
after Manhattan had advanced to
the 2-yard line. and in the second
quarter, when the victors found 1t
necessary to hit the line four times
from within the 5-yard marker before
putting over their second touchdown.
Bob Snyder, Maurice Nee and Jack
Fleming, the ends. also came in for
a share Of glory as they broke through
consistently to mess Manhattan plays.
All three stood out in covering Mou-

Trailing by two touchdowns.
Georgetown opened the second half
with rush as Valiquette took the
kickoff on his 12-yard line and
ran it back to the 80. On the first
play from scrimmage, Keegin got away
into Manhattan's secondary and when
hit on the 40 he fumbled. Vail

and continued to Manhattan's 40

43. The Hoyas picked up their at
tack from this point and displayed
their best offensive effort of the day,
advancing the ball to the New York
ers' 20. Keegin threw a pass to Jim
Sheeran that carried to the 80 and
a buck and Manhattan offside pen

ton.
At this point the Hoyas again
lapsed into fumbling exhibition on
their behind-the- passes. The
Hilltoppers relinquished the ball on
their own As when Keegin failed to
get of a fourth down pass.
