  PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-Ho, hum, chalk up another one for the Georgetown boys, Oscar. and while you’re aboat it, drop note to Boston College that the Hoyas will be up that way next month spelling for fight and making inquiries into the Eagles national champion ship claims. Let’s see, last nights 14–⁠0 victory over Temple was Georgetown’s sew enteenth game without defeat. and the funny part of it is, everybody thought the Owls might forget who their guests were and knock ‘em off their lofty perch. But it wasn’t even close. After a few minutes of sparring around while Jack Hagertvs crew felt out Temples line, and vice versa, it was evident that Georgetown would begin to roll, and heaven help whatever got in its way.

They were better than a couple Of fifth COL umnists getting the enemy plays and it was Murtagh’s advice on how to combat them which halted the Owls. Crash the ends. make the backs get rid of the ball if they want to pass and smoke them out in the open if they intend to run. the end coach advised Hagerty. He decided it was sound counsel. But it was the backs who carried off the major share of laurels last night Big Jim Castiglia, the full back who personally piled up so Of the so yards on the first touchdown drive. eliminating this effort with
