FlIllUp DcIcdts Special Dispatch to The Star. ~ ROOKLYN, N. Y. November - 14.-Georgetown’s foot ball team was blasted out OF the – undefeated class today as a versatile and opportunist Manhattan College eleven smashed through the Hoya defenses for two touchdowns in the second period TO garner a decisive 1870 victory at Ebbetts Field before a crowd of 10000. Handicapped by frequent fumbling lapses, particularly on their lateral pass plays, which boomeranged into decided breaks for Manhattan, and with their running game throttled by the New Workers. hard-charging forward wall, the Hilltoppers never were able to gain sufficient momentum to put in a serious bid for q score. Finding Georgetown’s pass defense vulnerable in all zones, Chick Nee hans Jaspers went to town via the air to register their initial triumph over Georgetown in four starts and to subject the Hoyas to their first defeat in seven engagements this cam paign. Manhattan completed 8 passes in IA attempts for an aggregate gain OF 104 yards. and whenever bottled up by Georgetown’s tightly knit ground defense, which was often, it resorted to an aerial game TO break into Hoya territory. JaSpers Count With Pass. THE first tally came on a pass from Fullback Pat Byrne to Ed Kringle, halfback, Kringle took Byrnes 22-yard toss over his shoulder and scampered more yards over the goal line. Rushed, Kringle failed to convert. After an exchange OF punts, in which Elmer Moulin outdistanced the Jasper kicker. Manhattan got roll ing again and. starting on its own IS, put on 65-yard drive that culminated in the final touchdown, with Dick Tuckey, fullback, scoring from the l-yard line on an off-tackle buck. Larry Hardy blocked Kringle’s place-kick for the extra point, but Georgetown was offside and the Jas per back converted on his second try. Superb punting ~ Moulin, who kicked the Hoyas out Of several tough spots, and yeoman service by the Hoyas’ center trio of Hardy, Jim Hill and Herb Stadler. played large part in preventing Manhattan from run ming up the score. Stadler was in jured near the close Of the first half and was assisted from the field. HoyaS Tough Near Goal. GEORGETOWN put on two stirring goal-line stands in the first half, one in the initial session, when it took the ball on downs from the Jaspers, after Manhattan had advanced to the 2-yard line. and in the second quarter, when the victors found 1t necessary to hit the line four times from within the 5-yard marker before putting over their second touchdown. Bob Snyder, Maurice Nee and Jack Fleming, the ends. also came in for a share Of glory as they broke through consistently to mess Manhattan plays. All three stood out in covering Mou- Inns booming punts, frequently stop ping the Jasper safety man in his tracks. The New Yorkers accumulated only As yards on runbacks of punts and kick-offs to Georgetown’s rs. Trailing by two touchdowns. Georgetown opened the second half with rush as Valiquette took the kickoff on his 12-yard line and ran it back to the 80. On the first play from scrimmage, Keegin got away into Manhattan’s secondary and when hit on the 40 he fumbled. Vail quette. however, picked up the ball and continued to Manhattan’s 40 yard line The Hoya attack stalled here and Moulin was forced to punt Keegin Thrills Crowd. K EEGIN brought the fans to their feet on the final play OF the quarter when he ran back a Man. haitian punt ~ yards to the Jasper 43. The Hoyas picked up their at tack from this point and displayed their best offensive effort of the day, advancing the ball to the New York ers’ 20. Keegin threw a pass to Jim Sheeran that carried to the 80 and a buck and Manhattan offside pen atty put the ball in scoring positon. At this point the Hoyas again lapsed into fumbling exhibition on their behind-the- passes. The Hilltoppers relinquished the ball on their own As when Keegin failed to get of a fourth down pass.

  The Terps, though, will have to show more on attack than they did against the Keydets if they expect to upset the favored Hoyas. The Terps’ attack begged down so amazingly after getting a score against v. M. I. that the question rs Maryland holding back for Georgetown” repeatedly was asked. In fact, the variety of Maryland’S offense, as displayed last Saturday, was so Startlingly limited that those familiar with the weapons it has carried in the past, couldn’t believe their eyes. 1t should be different Saturday and it will have to be or the George town rooters will enjoy the celebrating they have been counting on for three years and which was spoiled in 1884 and 1885. Georgetown also was beaten Saturday, but it bowed to favored Manhattan team by only 13 to 0 and played much finer football
