Limp as an ailing eel, Coach Jack

on cigarette, and exhaled with a
gratifying "whew." To emphasize
his point he "whewed" again and ex-

ought to be proud of those Mary
land boys
They played some real football. y
continued Hagerty. We weren't of
form-it simply was the improve
ment in those Maryland ends. That
whole Maryland ball club, in fact,
played so minutes of tough football.
It was more than we expected and
Dobbie really did a great job. He
had some scrappy boys out there
and they played grand game
You bet they did and I'm proud
of them, Jack interrupted Coach
Frank Dobson of Maryland, invading
the hectic atmosphere of the
Georgetown dressing room following
the Hoyas l4-7 victory over the
Terps yesterday at College Park in
completing an undefeated season.
I'm glad they made it tough for you.
1t makes your record that much
more worthwhile. You've done a
splendid job, Jack. My sincere con-
gratulations.
Goal Post Battle Torrid.
While coaches exchanged pleas
antries far different series of
trades took place on the field. Ex-
huberant Georgetown followers re-
duced the goal posts to chunks of
iron while Maryland fans objected
with vocal and physical enterprise.
In a pre-game talk to the Terps
Coach Dobson was brief. quiet and
impressive in outlining reasons why
Maryland could win.
You boys are their equal, men,
tally and physically" said the coach.
The outcome of today's game will
depend on how effectively the line
functions and how alert our secon-
Diary will be on pass defense. You
can't play passive game and eX-
pect to win.
Against this team you must be

When l send substitute in I want
the player leaving the game to leave
1t worn out, even if that happens in
the first quarter. You boys probably
can't digest the mental advantage
you have in this game, but, briefly,
you have the opportunity of your
football careers. You can take ad-
vantage of it. Will you?'
DObson's Talk Effective.
With a chorus of you bets" Mary
lands first and only team scrambled
for the door. That they played what
Dobson conceded to be by far Mary
lands best game this season is mute
testimony to the fact his players re-
sponded to his terse plea. If there
is such thing as glory in defeat,
Maryland's football team earned
generous slice with its courageous
battle against Overwhelming odds.
Maryland threatened to pour Ter
rapin soup into the Hoyas' bowl"
aspirations. In the final analysis
the better team won, but the Terps
made an astonishing fight of it.
While Georgetown showed a steady
stream Of reserves into action. Mary
land struggled along gamely with six
lads who played the entire so min
utes in Bob Brown. Ralph Albarano,
Francis Beamer, John Boyda, George
Lawrence and Charley Weidinger
Frank Skotnicki missed only a min
ute. while John De Armey and Joe
Murphy performed SIS and so min
utes. respectively.
Dobson, praising the play of his
team in general and the performance
of Guard Lawrence in particular,
paused to stamp Georgetown "a
grand team deserving of an unbeaten
season.
Georgetown fulfilled it's cherished
dream of it's first undefeated record
and Maryland, rank underdog and
generally expected to perish by at
least three touchdoWns. made an
inspiring fight of it all the way. 1t
ended as such things should, with
both sides gratified.
