GEORGETOWN University was better
than a point-a- minute team last
night as it slaughtered little
Roanoke College. $50. at Griffith
Stadium in its first game of the
season.
The Hoyas generated more power
than a utility concern in scoring
every period. They reached their
peak in the third when four touch
downs were added to the score.
The game was only five minutes old
when Jim Castiglia crashed through
a traffic jam near Roanoke's goal
line and went 9 yards to score.
That was the beginning of touch
down spree that soon saw the
Maroon left far behind. Jules
Koshlap's 23-yard pass to Lou
Ghecas featured the drive.
Ghecas paved the way for the
second, intercepting a pass on
Roanoke's 20 and getting back to the
IS before being tackled. Koshlap hit
right back tackle for the counter.
Lilo. after making the first conver-
sion, missed the second.
Hoyas Tally at Will.
Another drive, with Ghecas,
Koshlap and Castig1ia handling the
ball, gobbled up 10 yards and pro-
duced another Hoya marker. Ghecas
counted and Lilo added the point.
After that it simply was a ques-
ton of how high the Hagerty crew
would pile their points.
Ghecas, whose 76-yard scoring
run saved the day against Syracuse
last year. tore off 91-yard touch
down gallop with the opening kick
of of the second half for the long
est gain of the evening. Ghecas
was in excellent form, but the same
can be said of all the ball carriers.
Coach Jack Hagerty didn't stick
to straight football, surprisingly
enough, but used spinners, spreads
and reverses galore and gave all
the boys a chance to show their
stuff. They took full advantage Of
the opportunity.
AL Kull went SO yards down the
sidelines for score in the second
period, running from fake spin
ner formation, and Jack Doolan
got away for runs of 80 and 81
yards, both scoring plays. Jim
Castiglia, looking better than ever
before at fullback, bagged two
touchdowns and Jules Koshlap and
John Lascari one each.
