Thorpe Best RememberedHere
For Grid Feots Against Hoyos

Although Jim Thorpe made a
few visits to Washington just a
few years ago, he will be remem-
bered most for two trips he
made more than 40 years ago. as
the football star for the fabu-
lous Carlisle Indians.
Old Georgetown University
football fans have. particular
reason toreniempere Thorpe. who
led the Indians to victories over
the Hoyas in 1911 and l912.
They were the ! only 'losses OF
those seasons for the HoyaS, who
had such greats as Harry Co.'S
ctello, Jim eTug) y Fury, Sam
Foley and Dave White. :" @l
After trouncing the Seaman
Gunners, 800. and William and
+ Mary, $50, to start the 1911
season, the Hoyas ran into
Thorpe and his Indians. With
Thorpe operating from left half.
the Indians worked out preci-
Sion-l1ke. 28-5 victory.
It was in this game that the
Indians unveiled the Statue-of-
Liberty play, with Thorpe acting
as the statue. The play caught
Georgetown flat-footed and was
good for a touchdown.
In 1912 Thorpe and company
ran up a 34-3 halftime and held
on for a 1920 victory. That
second half probably was the
worst half of football Thorpe
ever played. On one occasion
he was smeared for a 25-yard
loss attempting a pass. Later
he fumbled. setting up a George
town touchdown.
Thorpe made two visits here
in the space of six months in
1850. He came here for the
Touchdown Clubs annual awards
banquet in January of that year
and was presented with a trophy
as the greatest "all-time Amer
ican" sports star. John r. Steel
man, assistant to President Tru-
man, made the presentation.
While on that visit, Thorpe
took time out to visit Jim Dun
can, a teanmate on the 1912
Olympic team. Duncan, who
set two discus records, has been
a patient at st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital since 1882, but still is an
