COSTELLO FEATURES GoUrg”towns football team started its 1919 season Yesterday by swapping the eleven from Randolph Macon College. a to o. before about 700 spectators, made ur mostly of local school children who we’re the guests of the Blue and Gray. The Hilltop eleven Outclassed the Vireinans from the first blow of the whistle, although the warriors from Front Royal put up u strong defense In the first and third quarters. Capt Harry Costello WIS the same brilliant ground gamer that stamped him as one of the foremost quarter backs of the 1872 season, carrying the ball time ami time again for 10 to 20 yards. and in the third got away for the feature run of the game, planting the pigskin behind the south goal after eO-yard sprint. Capt Harry shot two forward passes to Billy Martin in the second period. each resulting in a touchdown, the little end gathering in the sphere in midseason FORM In the third quarter Costello was called upon to bring his educated toe into action, but failed to connect, but in the last period he placed one neatly over the cross bar at the north end of the field from the 27-yard line. The visitors only threatened the Blue and Gray goal line once. but a poor at tempt by Mejett killed the chances. Cusack. who started at left end for the Hilltop team, put up sterling game, as did Dougherty in the Blue and Gray back field. Bold, the big tackle from Boston High School, looked good. break ing through time and again and throw ing the Blue and Yellow backs for loss. O’GOrman. who was substituted for Bold, also did some brilliant work, and it looks as if Georgetown has two mighty good tackles in this pair Bane. the quarter back for the visit ors, was the leading spirit of the Front ROYAL eleven. and with Bill Scott and Capt. Vaughn put up the best game Oh the defense. The lineup and summary:
