terday at Griffith Stadium, tramp
ling little Roanoke College of Salem,
1876, before 5000 witnesses.
Despite that it was woefully out
classed. as evidenced by the minus
yards it netted by rushing, the sturdy
Roanoke team made an interesting
battle of it before whiting to George
towns superior manpower in the
fourth period.
As was the case last week when
the Hoyas crushed Hampden-Sydney,
51-0, Coach Jack Hagerty's starting
eleven made little headway, although
keeping play confined chiefly to Roa-
noke territory throughout the score
less first period 1t remained for
team No. to needle the Georgetown
offenSe
Roanoke Fights Back.
Inserting an entire new team 10
seconds before the end of the first
period, Hagerty was gratified with the
immediate results. Shortly after the
second period opened, streamlined Joe
Mellendeck and rugged Jules Koshlap
quickly moved the ball to Roanoke S
25-yard line. There Roanoke held
and Perry Crumley punted out to the
Hoya As. Then the Hilltoppers struck
back more emphatically.
Mellendeck crashed through right
tackle to Roanoke's A and snatched a
sizzling pass from Koshlap in the
clear on the 22-yard line on the
following play No Roanoke player
was within shouting distance and
Mellendeck streaked the remaining
distance unmolested. August Lio a
Passaic IN. j. product. converted
from placement.
It's ground maneuvers smeared by
Georgetown's charging forward wall,
Roanoke took to the sky with sur
prising success midway of the second
period, with three straight passes from
Bill Hancock, red-haired halfback,
nesting in the gluey paws of End
Kenneth Moore.
Hoyas Boost Lead.
Climaxing the rapid downfield surge,
which covered Sc yards, the combina-
ton clicked for the third time, with
Moore leaping high on the 13-yard
line to pluck Hancock's pass from a
gathering of Hoyas and race the re-
naming distance to the goal. John
Higgins attempted conversion from
placement was wide.
Mildly insulted by the sudden dis
play of Roanokes effectiveness, the
Hoyas bounced back Immediately to
grasp a more convincing lead. Mellen-
deck returned the kickoff to George
towns 43 and in three plays personally
advanced the ball to Roanokes 80.
Koshlap assumed the ball-carrying
burden at that point to smash of
tackle in two plays to the 10 and Lou
Ghecas topped the drive by circling
left end and outfooting the Roanoke
secondary to the goal line.
On an exchange Of punts, Andrews
took Mellendeck's boot on George
towns 49 and returned it 20 yards.
Hancock fired pass to Andrews for
yards and Crumley made it first
down on the Hoyas IT. With tie score
looming, however, Georgetown braced
and Roanokes final threat died.
G. U. Surges in Fourth.
Launching a touchdown drive early
in the fourth quarter, the Hoyas scored
quickly. Koshlap whipped pass to
Bill Wixted to gobble up 28 of the 81
yards to pay-off territory, and shot an
all 10 ohv fn a
Hoyas to the l1-yard line.
Koshlap nudged through center for
4 yards Mellendeck missed shoe
string catch Of Koshlap's pass in the
end zone, but made a spectacular div
ing stab on duplicate play few
seconds later to score.
Splicing a 66-yard march with pass
from Koshlap which was detected to
Myron Darmohray, who lateraled to
Wixted for a 20-yard gain, George
town scored again on short pass
from Koshlap to Joe Daniels, who
caught the ball on the 4-yard line
and stepped over for the touchdown.
Roanoke desperately sought to re-
duce the score to more respectable
bounds through the medium of passes,
but they backf1red into another
Georgetown touchdown when John
Riofski intercepted Killian's pass and
returned 10 yards to Roanoke's "a.
John Spencer and Jim Castiglia col
laborated in moving to the Maroon 2,
then Spencer cracked right tackle to
