Hoya Punting Is Weak.

THE Hoyas worked out in Mountain
Stadium here yesterday. driving
to Morgantown by bus from Fairmont,
where they are making their head
quarters. Kicking. simple pass plays
and . limbering Of muscles comprised
the workout
One item that disturbed the
Georgetown encampment was the
punting. Because his injured ankle
failed to respond to treatment, Johnny
Fleming, the sensational sophomore
end, was not brought on the trip. This
leaves it up to Fullback Bill Duff and
Moulin to do the kicking and neither
comes close to Fleming as a booter.
Both were punting yesterday and
their best looked none too good.
Better kicking in the N. Y. q. game,
which Fleming also missed. might
have prevented the Violets from strik-
ing via the air in the final quarter
and gaining their tie. Georgetown
supporters feared . repetition OF this
lack Of punting ability and made no
secret Of it. The Mountaineers were
almost certain to have . decided ad-
vantage In kicking.
