  Georgetown Buo,unf Triumph Lp ds Dizzy Wirg BRIGHTER THINGS seen FOR HOYAS Win From Manhattan Called No Flash in Pan for Well Coached Team. DIX n. Y. bYhD. ~ EORGETOWN’S foot ball team 4 Is coming into its own. Play ing intelligent foot ball, max ing the aggressive, deter mined efforts that characterized great Georgetown teams of the past. 1t defeated Manhattan Saturday in way that foreshadowed greater things to come, and, better still, turned hope for winning eleven into realization. Georgetown was q well-coached team and played the smartest foot ball I’ve seen GEORGETOWN team play in years.” said a competent, observer this morning, who watched the Blue and Gray whip the New Workers. “This Georgetown squad” he added, “is far from strong in reserve material. but as far as its varsity is concerned, 1t should go far” Words like these should warm the hearts of Blue and Gray alumni and students. It means that they. for the first time in years. have some they can cheer themselves as hoarse as they desire. It means that George town folks will not have to 60 around wondering when their school is going to win another game. and that, in stead of taking a lot Of good-natured joshing from their friends of other universities, they can do little JOSH ing themselves. NF COURSE, to predict what may happen during the remainder of the foot ball season is going Just q little further than is safe, there being too many chances Of error, but it does seem reasonable to assume that the Blue and Gray Is going to wind up this year with the best record it has had in long while. So far as can be judged right now, barring one of those games in which much the stronger eleven gets knocked of by a weaker, about the only two pitfalls that stand in the way of the Blue and Gray are University Of Richmond and University Of Mary land, in order. Richmond’s victory over Cornell and Maryland’s game at Navy have demonstrated that they have two teams that cannot be fooled with very much If any eleven expects to whip them. But whatever may happen, George town Is of to q good start and, barring the Unforeseen, shoulds eontinue successfully until the end OF the schedule. This does not mean that q game may not be lost, for success in these days OF hectic foot ball does not mean winning every game. Coach Jack Hagerty deserves q good deal Of credit for the game Georgetown played Saturday. It was smart foot ball more than anything else that won for his team. Hagerty not only Is doing good coaching job, but is winning for himself a place in the hearts of his players and with the students generally that should make him a fixture for years to come. And not only that. but Georgetown can feel good deal OF pride in having one Of its own alumni as head coach, because Hagerty him self was one Of the really great Georgetown backs of q few years ago. Georgetown students greeted their team as befitted the occasion. They were proud of the victory that had been achieved in New York and went to great lengths to show it. Meeting the squad at Union Station, the students, aided by a sprinkling of alumni, paraded back to the Hilltop and by bonfires and speeches celebrated the return of the Blue and Gray from what they believe is the beginning Of another series Of trtumphs.

  Fred Carideo, cousin Of the famous Frank of other days, scored the other Irish 6-pointer. Notre Dame couldn’t register a point after touchdown to save all of their 50-odd hides. Georgetown Braces To me the biggest Washington football news of the weekend was not nearly so much Mary lands gallant stand against Navy as it was Georgetown’s unexpected stymieing of Manhattan. Many of you are going to expect me to mention this, and l intend to disappoint nobody. Georgetown, accustomed to do nothing whatsoever since Lou Little took wings therefrom to achieve national fame for Co. lumbia which appreciates its coahes. agreeably startled and shocked it’s alumni in every quarter of the globe by upsetting Manhattan, 9 to 0. Louis Little told me on his visit to the Georgetown Prep testimonial in his behalf last winter. that all Jack Hagerty
