Hoyas are to win over N. Y. I
In Saturdays game, against
sturdy but green Bucknell, the
Hoyas showed weakness against
forward passes and failed to play
football of which they are capable
except in two spots-early in the
opening period and through the
third canto.
Laterals Chosen UnwiseIy
When Georgetown Travelled 80
yards, to score it's first touch
down, the Hoyas looked good.
The offensive charge of the line
was superb, and the backs picked
holes real we'll. The first play
of this Marcia lateral pass,
Tommy Heating to Valiquette,
was neatly executed, but on
several occasions after this play,
later in the game. the lateral was
tried at ill-chosen times. This
first play gained IA yards. A nice
short pass, Keegin to Heating.
after the latter had been tossed
for a loss of 4 yards, made 7
yards for the Hoyas. Then Buck"
nell was set back 5 for offside,
putting the ball on the Bucknell
16-yard marker. Here the George
town team showed what it really
can do.
At the time, Bucknell was fresh
and strong, and the laundering
Herd defense appeared tight. A
slash through left tackle was
called. Heating picked his hole
"a huge one-and went through
at just the right pace, reversed
his field, and ran for touch
down. 1t was a scoring play in
which each man on the George
town team seemed to carry out
his assignment. It was good foot
ball.
From this spot in the game until
the opening of the third quarter,
Georgetown made many mistakes,
mechanical and others. The Hoyas
seemed to take things for granted.
Such a thing cannot take place in
the N. Y. U. game, for it will mean
defeat for Georgetown if it does.
Georgetown was particularly poor
in down-the-field play. and little
Thomasetti, Bison star. ran back
punts with great gusto against
Hoya units down the field who
lacked judgment in trying to make
tackles.
Best In Third Quarter
Georgetown's best football OF
the day was played in the third
quarter. After receiving the kick
off, the Hoyas marched 4 yards
across the Bucknell goal line.
Heating ran the kickoff 18
yards to the Hoya 26. Tommy
added % when he skipped through
left tackle. Then, after Heating
lateraled to Keegin for a three
yard gain, the Hilltoppers were set
back five for offside. A forward
pass, Heating to Snyder, was tailed
by a beautiful lateral to Valiquette
and the whole play took the H0yaS
to the Bison 29-yard stripe. After
Keegin got three at left tackle,
Valiquette crashed right tackle fer
first down at the Bucknell IT.
Heating got four at left tackle and
three more at right tackle and the
ball was at the Herds 10-yard
marker.
Paves Way for Score
Right here, the Georgetown
team functioned beautifully. Keat-
ing slid through a hole for a first
down at the Bison 7-yard 6 pc.
Then, Georgetown uncorked a real
scoring playa quick, short for
ward pass. However, Snyder,
Hoya thanked, dropped a perfect
heave to him at the goal line. After
Heating picked UP 2 yards at right
tackle, Keegin tossed pass to
Nee, Georgetown end. who made a
perfect catch for the touchdown.
In this 74-yard drive, the Hoyas
played remarkably fine football.
The Hoya attack had versatility,
speed, drive. power and precision
that is, all but Snyder's mutt'
which was a pure error.
Red" Hardy paved the way for
Georgetown's other touchdown. He
grabbed one of Thomasettl's for
