g. H. s. SWanlps Delmar
With the mercury reaching So in
the shade, the Georgetown High
School football team opened the
season here last Friday with Del
mar High. The county-seat boys
bagged the game by the score of 70
to o. Georgetown scored the first
touchdown early in the first period
by a sustained drive and end runs.
Delmar was outweighed and out
maneuvered and gave the county
seaters but little threat at any
stage of the game. Both teams
were handicapped by the midsum-
mer weather, which had a tendency
to slow them up considerably.
However, they displayed that they
had been going through some rigid
practice since the opening OF school
on September 9. Coach George
Keen put in his entire squad dur
ing different periods.
Coach Keen will take his gallop-
ing knights" to Milford today
friday where they will clash
with the Mispillion boys under
