ST. LOUIS, OCT. z6!-1Ony Beyef
couldn't make the Georgetown team
for the first three games and his
name was omitted from yesterdays
program-but the happy Hoyas who
headed home today with a 1877
triumph over st. Louis University
ars awfully glad the substitute
backfield man came along.
Boyer is q 20-year George
town Prep product who didn't re-
port to the football squad until the
third week in September, as he was
in Atlantic City competing in life
guard races. Coach Jack Hagerty
liked his defensive possibilities, but
he hadn't shown much extensively,
and thus Tony had not been used.
st. Louis had TO second-quar-
ter lead yesterday and had posses
sion Of the ball when Boyer entered
his first varsity game. Big Bernie
Schifferdecker was driving his St.
Louis team in Georgetown territory
and tossed q pass toward a team
nate covered by Boyer.
Goes 10 Yards for Score.
Beyer, an Army Air Force vet
aran, intercepted on his own 80
and headed for the sidelines. Vic
Banonis and Tom Dolan threw a
pair of potent blocks, and with
their help Boyer went 70 yards
down the sidelines and staggered
into the end zone for score. Babe
Baronowski's dropkick placement
tied the score at Tall.
Late in the fourth period time
was running out on the Hoyas and
they were kicking opportunity all
over Walsh Field. They had been
stopped on the 1-foot line by a
tumble" had run out Of downs
on the 4 and missed field goal
try from the IA.
Boyer selected this occasion to
recover a st. Louis tumble on the
Billikens' 6, and in three plays
Baronowsh went over on a quarter
back sneak for the winning touch
down.
The victory was a long time COM
ing for the Hoyas and spoiled big
homecoming week end for the Is 1896
fans.
GEORGETOWN was a numbering, i'm
potent, lifeless ball club in the first
half and only Beyer's electrifying
interception salvaged a tie.
Hoyas Dominate Second Half.
Hagerty intimated that he read
the riot act at half time and if SO
he should have made a recording
he might need 1t again. The Hoyas
came back nicely in the second half
and with the exception of 73-yard
st. Louis drive that ended in futile
field goal try by Tom Shea, George
town completely dominated the play.
The Hoyas ran harder, tackled
harder and put some oomph into
their blocking.
The st. Louis rooters were hoarse
from yelling Hold that line" in the
last quarter and for the first II
minutes the Billikens paid heed.
Three times, in drives covering 20
plays in all, the Hoyas went from
near midfield to the goal line, but
fell short each time. Joe Sullivan,
taking the ball from Baronowski and
alternating cross bucks, accounted
for most of the yardage.
st. Louis, according to football
historians, the pioneer school in the
use of the forward pass, set that
department of the game back 40
years. The air-minded Billikens, who
had used the overhead route for
most of their success in bucking the
toughest schedule in the schools his
tory, failed to complete single
pass against the Hoyas. The inter-
ception that led to G. US score
apparently ratified them. George
towns Baronowski, who played So
minutes, completed only two for .
total Of Is yards.
Banonis PAGES Defense.
Defensively, tha {. as were raced
by Banonis, who played most OF the
