Crushing Blow Given

Of Dornfe|d, Ace
Third Beating in Row
Feared; 6. W. Improved;
Terps to Visit Duke
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The mounting misery of George
towns Coach Jack Hagerty isn't
likely to ease this week, for coming
up Saturday night at Griffith
Stadium is an engagement with the
powerful North Carolina Navy Pre-
Flight Cloudbusters and the Hoyas
will be forced to rlay this one with
out the services of versatile frankie
Dornfeld, their triple threat back.
Dornfeld, who suffered a cleat
cash that required nine stitches in
his left leg as the Hoyas absorbed
that 47-0 walloping from Boston
College last Saturday. will be lost to
Georgetown for at least two weeks
and possibly for the remainder of
the season.
1t is a crushing blow to the
trampled Hoyas, but serving to ease
it will be the return to action of
Johnny Barrett, bruising back who
had displayed improvement each
time out until injured in the 60
defeat by Detroit.
Third Hoya Loss Looms.
IN taking its worst beating in 10
years from Boston College the Hoyas
weren't disgraced. Hagerty has been
around few years and he rates the
Eagles line the best collegiate for
ward wall he's ever viewed. Its not
the best college team I've ever SEEN"
says Hagerty. IT feel the Stanford
club of 1927 was the best I've looked
at, but Boston Colleges line is tops
and the team belongs with the great
college clubs Of my time"
Ray Hanken, George Washington
University's end coach, who secuted
Georgetown against B. c., says the
Eagles are the toughest, toughest
and best team he's seen. Still"
said Ray, Il believe Georgetown
could have held down the score
to $50 or so If it hadn't been
trying so desperately to score itself
when 1t was beaten hopelessly.
Georgetown's own efforts to score
late in the game cost it two touch
downs"
Hagerty thus can peek into the
immediate future and reach for the
aspirin, for the Hoyas appear slated
to take third successive loss for
the first time in years. The Cloud
busters have lost only one game
this season and that was a 7-6
affair to that same Boston College.
Maryland, G. w. to Travel.
Performing with N. C. Pre-Flight
are such famed footballers as Len
Eshmont. Bill Krywicki Mort Lands
berg, Lou Bufalino, Joe Kovach and
Gene Goodreault.
The Cloudbusters added Syracuse's
scalp to its growing list Saturday
with 90 victory. They have beaten
Harvard, 1870; N. c. State, 1877, and
Temple, $40, and tied Georgia Pre-
Flight, 14-14.
Georgetown will have the field
to itself this week end, for Mary
land will invade Durham, N. c., for
q tussle with Duke and George
Washington will travel to face Glenn
DOll III 0dGulOdy SdIIlcS.
G. w. again will be an underdog
against Clemson, but the Colonials
Ihowed enough improvement in drop
ping 276 decision to Kentucky last
week to indicate they won't be TAX
Ing that trip with the idea of being
kicked around. Coach Johnny Baker
performed remarkable job in keep
ing the Colonials interested after
that 6l-0 shellacking by William and
Mary and they'll head South con-
WINGED they can do something about
holding those Tigers.
Terps' Wright PAGES Scorers.
Maryland hardly knows what to
expect from Duke The Blue Devils
have been thumped by Wake Forest,
Georgia Pre-Flight and Georgia
Tech, but have bowled over David
son, Colgate and Pittsburgh by i'm
pressive margins and have scored In
every game.
The Old Liners Jack Wright con-
tinues to pace local collegiate scor-
ing with 30 points and Maryland's
Hubble Werner clings to second place
with "a. Paul Weber of G.. w. i'm
proved his third place position with
touchdown against Kentucky
boosting his total to 10 points. Fol-
lowing are complete scoring figures
