  Michigan Cnhes Championship Auburn Keeps Slate Clean in D HOyA, BISON EACH HELPED BY BREAK New Spirit Marks Play of DoWntrodden Blue and Gray in Muddy Fray. A SINGULAR foot ball hero ~ of Bucknell University blew “A a golden opportunity and enabled Georgetown to get away with a 6–⁠6 draw yesterday in mud-wallowing contest in Griffith Stadium. 1t was exciting. Two minutes remained of the struggle when Bucknell recovered a tumble on Georgetown’s 7-yard line and quickly scored a touchdown to tie the count. Out trotted Joe Kubacki, substitute quarterback who seldom enters the lineup, but when he does A Bucknell information man in the press box Is telling you: Here comes our point, gentlemenl With game at stake he doesn’t miss. He made two plays against Western Maryland last week-he kicked two points. We won, IA to 13. “And last year-you remember?with Bucknell’s unbeaten record at stake in the final game-ciid that boy kick the winning point or didn’t he? One play. One game for Kubacki!” But tickle fortune, which played tricks all through a queer contest yesterday, turned its back when Kubach went after that all-important point, that would have given him record Of three victories with four plays, and possibly an all-time foot ball mark Of sorts. The Bisons couldn’t hold wildly charging lot Of Hoyas long enough for a careful effort and the one-punch artist missed. CEORGETOwN appeared to have a ~ victory sewed up when Bucknen got its late break, a turn OF affalrs which compensated for a happy one that came to the Blue and Gray in the third period. On the first play following the Sec ond half kickoff. the Hoyas got q touchdown on a blocked kick. Captain Ray Hudson capped brilliant perform ance at end for Georgetown by thrust ing himself plumb IN the way OF pun1 by Joe Rhubright and the ball bounded to within two yards Of the Bison goal. It was kicked from the 5-yard line. | Wilmer Bradley, fullback, half ran, hall skidded to the oval, picked it up while seemingly in the act Of falling and slowed across the goal. Quarterback Bill Kennedy essayed to hold the ball for Dick banners places ment try, but 1t skidded off his fingers and Danner, catching the detected oval, attempted fruitlessly to run for the point. ! THAT point would have brought great J. Joy to the ill-fortuned Hoyas who yesterday for the first time in many weeks fought with the Georges town spirit of old. A change of coach- | ing administrations and other disrupt | ing influences had the Hilltoppers, for time, in despair; so much so that q defeat by West Virginia Wesleyan last week was marked by seeming indifference. How different yesterday Tears made little rivulets down the mud-smeared faces of half dozen Hoyas as the boys filed into the dressing room. They | thought they should have won. | As a matter of fact, they were Just a bit fortunate they didn’t lose, for | the Bisons had much the better of the ground gaining, as witness six first | downs against one for the Blue and Gray. Moreover, Bucknel made the only two threats of thoroughly earned touchdowns. In the third period they were stopped within a yard of the goal Three line smashes by Joe Renichaks powerful fullback, were Tended by the Hoyas, and on the fourth down that worthy’s pass across the goal was knocked down by Nick Viskovich. THE second longest gain of the game, l. Is yards on a pass by Reznichak to Zanarini, a flankman, gave the Bisons this opportunity. In the opening | quarter a 31-yard run from kick forma- | tion by Rfiubright started a BucknelI drive that was stopped at Georgetown’s 16-yard mark, when, on fourth down. a pass by Reznichak was intercepted by F. Williamson, giant center. To gain their touchdown, the Bisons used an unorthodox method of forward passing.

  HOYAS FLASHED IMPROVEMENT . To GET TIE GeOrBeCOWn, CaCnOuc UnlVersity, Maryland and Navy all showed to advantage in games of the weekend. Georgetown, for the first time this year, looked and acted like a real football team. The HoyaS seemed destined to win, but an unusual play toward the end of the game caused q tie, 6 to 6. Bucknell came into possession of the ball on Georgetown’s 7-yard line. The Bisons tried a pass, far out to the right. It failed. Then they tried a pass out to the left. Hudson, Georgetown captain, sensed the play, ran back and was stationed just across the Hill top goal line as the ball was thrown. Close to Hudson was Vetter, Bucknell’s receiver. Falls in Foes Arms Hudson, it seemed, could easily have grounded the ball. In a Split-Second Of time he decided to try to ground the ball in the end zone. He apparently erdeavored to do so, licked the ball with his hands and it went toward the ground, but into the arms of Vet ter, who fell lust on the goal line for the touchdown which tied the score. Second guessing is quite pastime, and many felt that Hudson made mistake. How ever that may be, no one can blame the Hoya leader. Had he succeeded in his effort to ground that ball in the end zone it would have been Georgetown’s ball at the Hoya 20-yard line, and Georgetown would have won. Had he knocked the ball into the playing field, that is, grounded it on the one-foot line, Bucknell would have had two more tries for the touchdown. iHudson’s was a wise move, yet it brought Bucknell on even terms. Those persons who witnessed the Catholic University -Duquesne game are still talking about that class grid contest. Great Exhibition The game as played stands as one of the greatest exhibitions Of football ever offered by two teams in the one game. It Is interesting to note the re. actions of football men. Jim Pixlee, coach of George Washington, said of the game: ‘It was one of the best games ever saw. 1t was a tight ball game. 1 cannot recall q game which equaIled 1t for consistency in getting out Of tight spots. 1t was an ideal contest from the stand point of a football coach, as the players did not fail when pressure was placed on them. 1t was a beautiful game to watch” Len Walsh, Pixlee’s assistant, said: “T don’t believe 1 ever saw q better game. 1t was not only exciting and thrilling, but it was as near to perfectly played as possible. I could not see enough difference in the two teams to warrant thinking that one was superior to the other. The comparatively small number Of mistakes, the large number of fine moves under the severest Of pressure, the evenness and caliber of play all Joined to make it wonderful contest” All Probably Agree All who witnessed the game probably agree with Pixlee and Walsh. This writer has pegged the game in his memory as one of the greatest he has ever wit messed, and he has witnessed quite few during the past two decades. Maryland went to work with vim when a scoring chance pre- Sented itself in the Washington and Lee game, travelled some q yards, scored, and then protected its lead. The fact that the Old Liners scored indicates that the TerpS have q scoring punch and in it’s remaining two contests Maryland should prove rather difficult to defeat. AS was Expected, Gallaudet proved no match for Shepherd. Navy’S grand showing against Notre Dame is certainly a feather in the coaching cap at Annapolis. Also, it bears out predictions made for Navy-that the Middies would be hard to defeat in No Ven1her
