  GEORGETOWN ROUTED BY NORTH CAROLINA Fifty-Yard Run by Bobby Winston Gains Victory for TarheeIS. The name of Winston will be hung in versty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “ c.. as the sturdy lad of that family yesterday afternoon won his laurels when in the first half of the game against Georgetown University he grabbed punt and ran for fifty yards and a touchdown the only score of the game, the contest ending with the Southerners having five points to nothing for the Blue and Gray. Winston not only ran fifty yards with the pigskin, but he showed off nine of the entire eleven Georgetown players who made strenuous efforts to tackle him. The touchdown came as a thunderbolt out of the skies and seemed to paralyze the local team and its followers. Georgetown had the ball near the center of the field when Byrd tried a quarterback run. Winston was right on the job. and after breaking through the interference threw the local runner for loss. Georgetown lined up and Daunton went back for a kick. For the only time during the game, he failed to get the ball off well. 1t only went about twenty yards and Winston leaped into the air and caught it. He buried his neck down into misshoulders and set sail toward the goal line. Two of the Georgetown players started after him. and one got hold OF his shoulder, but the North Carolina boy was not to be downed. He threw them aside, as if they were merely children. While still running for the coveted goal other Georgetown players made efforts to get the fleeing runner. but he also got by them. Byrd was the last local player between the southern and the goal. He made flying dive, but Winston leaped aside and sped for the goal and touchdown. Croswell kicked the ball about ten feet outside of the goal posts nd loo oh for rnin Visitors Had the Weight. In comparing the two teams, the visitors had 1t on the locals in the weight of the line men, but this fact was not of ma terial significance. The line of the south ern team was for the most part strongly constructed, although on several oc- CaSionS the Blue and Gray boys managed to get through for gains. When they got within a dangerous zone, the visitors, however, braced up and there were no more gains for the locals. On the back field the visitors again had the best of the argument, while at the quarterback position it was a toss-up between Byrd and Ruffin. Belk, who sup planted Ruffin at the beginning of the second half. was better than his team mate and ran his team in good form. Wymard. who did the kicking for the Georgetown team, averaged about fifty yards throughout the game, while Croswe’ll also did good work in the kicking game. but did not even up the gains Of the local men. Larger Crowd Expected. The game was played before compare lively small crowd, considering the i’m portance of the struggle to the two uni versities. Upon the meeting of the two teams on Georgetown Field last fall the struggle ended with matters even. the final score being ) to 5. The followers of the Blue and Gray were in the west stand, but they were not there with the spirit which was displayed in former years by the local followers In fact there was but little cheering by the Blue and Gray boys. North Carolina was well represented in the east stand. and every play by the team was applauded. 1t was the opinion of many of the spec tators that Georgetown had scored a touchdown as the first half closed but Georgetown had fumbled a punt near their goal line and North Carolina got the ball. Just after the two teams had lined up for the first scrmmage the time keeper walked on the field. and Referee Given seeing him blew his whistle At that time the ball was put into play by Georgetown and Carrigan started for an end run, but was thrown. Relieving that the play was legal, he was assisted to his feet by teammates. and with Byrd as an interference. ran to the goal The play was disputed, but Referee Given held to his decision. which was substantiated by the umpire. Aside from Winston. Croswell and Porter did some fine work for the visitors in carrying the ball. The two ends, Winston and Williams, were in the game at all times, and on but very few occasions could Georgetown do anything around the ends. When the local team tried line plays they invariably ran up against a stone wall, as Thompson and Spainhour on the left side. and Mclean and Hefgepath held their positions firm Deans played we’ll during the early part of the game at center, but he was injured sew eral times and weakened He was later relieved by Brown. Carrigan the Star. Georgetown’s line held the visitors on their several line plunges in the early part of the first half. but after time The weak spots, notably that of center, were found and good gains were made Carrisan proved the star ground gamer for his team DALEY played a strong game at left guard. while Stterding, who relieved Carter at right end, made several good tackles. Wymard made several good tackle runs Waldron did fair work in CARRYING the ball. but he was away off in handling punts, and on several occasions MS fumbling proved costly for his team The game opened with Wymard kicking off for Georgetown. He sent the oval to Baden, VINO got Dack 10 yards before being downed. On the first two downs North Carolina seemed to be I’D in the air, as they fumbed the ball.
